He also can disguise himself as enemy units, bribe whole small armies to his side, smuggle resources from the enemy base, and light buildings on fire. He'll walk into a base without the AI even knowing it. When he's done, several barracks have been burnt down. The enemy builders have been assassinated. The enemy's income has been cut up by the hero due to smuggling resources out. When they finally discover him, I send him running while he bribes a good chunk of the enemy's army to turn turncoat.

Broken as hell.

What are you, Zeus' son? You find all that out by yourself or did you look some of it up?

You select powers from a tree while completely personalizing the hero. It's hard as hell to get him to the maximum level in a skirmish, but he gets damn stompy in War of the Ring Mode (essentially a Risk-style setup with Real Time battles). Sure the Fellbeasts are really OP (they can fly over to the enemy base before they've got units or well, anything, and wipe out the enemy in War Of the Ring Mode. But when they've already got a garrison up, yeah, Alpharius is broken.

What the hell are you supposed to do with Steam trading cards anyway?

Sounds like he needs a nerf.

That. It's also a gimmick Steam included because they already know people will spend money to collect retarded digital items.

starforge alpha looks cool as hell

I decided to get the Founder's Pack.

Right now the is alpha essentially is like Minecraft on one of the uncharted worlds from Mass Effect 1. The hovertanks are pretty cool.

Which is pretty cool. Nights are honestly terrifying as everything is pitch black. It makes the atmosphere seem like a sci-fi horror like the thing. It makes me too scared to try the tower defense mode.

Think I'm going to buy Rogue Legacy and Borderlands 2. Two great games for only about $20.

If you do, beware the multiplayer is buggy. And just spam spotlights everywhere.

I just bought the Prison Architect package that lets you name a prisoner and gives you all of Introversion's other games, except I already have all of them. So now I have four games I'm looking to get rid of.

What games are they?

Just finished Telltale's Walking Dead. Never been so depressed from a games ending...

....but I cannot wait for season 2, because the story is just fantastic.

I need to stop getting sidetracked and play that. That's my next emotional journey to play.

Okay. Playing FTL as Engi, I have two shield layers, enough power to have my Ion Blast II, Heavy Laser I and Anti-Ship Drone going at the same time without cutting any systems, and about 120 scrap and a Fire Bomb for sale. Doing good with a crew of five, consisting of two Engi, a Human, a Zoltan and a Mantis. Everyone has a rank in at least one thing, the Engi on weapons having a mastery. I'm on Sector 5, which is a Slug sector this time around. I'm breezing through, my laser and drone wrecking ships once I have the shields disabled. So this ship comes in, asking if I wanna buy some black-market shit. He's going on about the disclaimers and stuff when suddenly he's all 'oh, and by the way, your weapons are now disabled' and he starts opening fire with some goddamn twin-linked Heavy Laser IIs! The second the engines are about to be charged he completely wrecks them, and before I could get even a single bar up my ship is wrecked. So now I'm pretty pissed. I might've been able to go the whole way, too.

So Just Cause 1 is $1.40 today..........I decided what the hell? I don't know how much I care to have it but for that much? And the plus side is my computer is apparently quite a lot better then the requirements for the game so it should actually work on my computer.

Then as the game starts up your processor craps out and it takes 30 minutes for the world to load.

What games are they?

DEFCON, Uplink, Darwinia, and Multiwinia, all of which I have gassed on about at somepoint except Multiwinia, because I have yet to play it.

Prototype 2 takes tentacle rape to a whole new level... I'm still not sure what the purpose of the Tendrils are other than to make me laugh my ass off

Oh hey, I have Uplink. Well, I pirated Uplink, but whatever.
Anyways, I'd take any of those.

DEFCON you say?

Shame it didn't do so well. They ended the series after that one.
Enjoy all the murder then.

After countless hours (34) on Skyrim, I have been able to accomplish 1 DLC (Dawnguard), two lengthy mods (SMS and MPE), and the two main story line quest to the game (plus many other minor quests). So then what does it all look like? Like this. And this. And...This.

by **Registug** » Sun Jul 21, 2013 10:01 pm

I played Skyrim for 107 hours and then stopped, never to touch it again.
