The Savage West: Horrors of the Frontier

@Grec

Would it be alright if I do a char with some degree of control over cold weather, nothing that would solve the weeping winter by itself. It would also be a bit villainous. Not that it is outright hostile to anyone, but it is carnivorous and has a taste for humans on occasion though that is not it's sole diet. If this is not suitable for the RP, I've got a another idea.

October Love

eh, looking forward to November mostly. Got several games releasing then. However, there is a Friday the 13th this month so... that's what I am going to be doing.

Anyone here played Divinity 2 yet? I just started last night with a few friends.

@POOHEAD189

You mean Divinity Original Sin 2 (Original Harder)? As Divinity 2 is not a multiplayer game. Both good games though. DOS2 is the best CRPG since Neverwinter Nights (1 and 2).

Anyways, I've been getting back to playing a bit of the Creeper World series in anticipation of the fourth game. Nothing like being outsmarted by a liquid over and over as I attempt to succeed in a level several different ways, only messing up as my timing was ever so slightly off or I accidentally misc licked by a few pixels and let my defenses crumble under the creeper onslaught.

Blue Fog - A Survival and Society Building Game

Aleksander Slavik

Aleksander made no movement for the scrolls as several others did. He feared not what secrets some scrap of paper would reveal. His generally grumpy mood, however, perked up a bit when they headed back into the cavern. Any encounter in there would be better than standing around when he is so eager to leave. The next room held another field similar to the first, but lined with several walls and structures. Out of an interior room came several inorganic entities, hostile as told by the recording. Aleksander was happy to find another fight so soon, for what is a soldier without an enemy to kill?

Stepping back for a moment behind cover to consider his tactical options, he saw some of the others charge headfirst into combat foolishly but at least seemed capable of staying alive. The mage appeared to be capable of taking the brunt of the attacks with some kind of barrier, but Aleksander reasoned the strength of it would soon wane so he opted to take care of the two attempting to bash the barrier down.

Deciding on an angle that looked good, he briefly fired a burst of flames that arched over his cover, over the barrier and wrapped around the machines. While titanium has a far higher melting point than flesh, not even it could withstand the intense heat generated by Aleksander’s Liquid-Tiberium flamethrower. The machines would need to choose whether to continue their assault and perish or retreat and douse the flames.

I never really liked Mass Effect that much. I kind of half remember the plot, the choices were monumental but ultimately meaningless and the game play was adequate at best. It is basically a porno with an actual story (except it does not show the 'good' parts)

Darkling: The Night War

@Old Amsterdam

I'm willing to continue, shame this has experienced some stagnation as I really enjoyed this and I hope the others are also willing to continue.

Though I should note that since then, I have started taking classes this fall semester. I am not taking enough to impact my posting much but It might have an impact closer to the end where I will have exams and projects to work on.

Risk : Headcrab Escape Or Lonely Paradise

@ActRaiserTheReturned

I would still choose a route that will likely end in self-termination while attempting to eliminate as many headcrabs as I could. I think it would be easy to find some pans to place over my head and secure with duct tape or something. While by no means impenetrable, I think it would buy me a few minutes.

Risk : Headcrab Escape Or Lonely Paradise

If I could, I would stay in the room and try to dig underground and establish an elaborate complex and spend time fortifying it with traps and the like and craft various crude weapons. After a hundred years or so I would douse the complex and the room in some kind of combustable substance and Lure as many of the Headcrabs as I can towards me as I retreat further and further within. I would also set up a timer at the entrance that would create a small fire once the timer counts down from say an hour or so and will ignite the 'paradise' into an inferno. Knowing they await outside this 'paradise' would not provide comfort to me even with the knowledge they could not get to me (I imagine because of a locked door or something?). It would be a tortuous life as I would live like a caged animal unable to be free and I would rather die than live like that. They indirectly controlled my movements as I dare not to leave but dead, I am truly free.

Normally though, I do avoid physical contact with others when I can. So I would stay in that room even without headcrabs.
