TET: Summertime, time to sit back and unwind

[Auremena]

I am very very bad at strategy games ;-;

Sitrep, Lauren?

Gave Homeworld a try. Lost my resource collector in the 3rd mission (but not the resource commander or whatever) and proceeded to get spanked in the next mission due to my fleet consiting of a few frigates and several heavy corvettes and it was impossible to build a resource collector as that cost 650 credits and I had 350 ;-;
And then I got spanked in a quick battle, where I had the upper hand, harassing the enemy's resourcer's with a formation of scouts and a supply frigate, but then they send a fleet of frigates and cruisers at me and my frigates can't defeat all of them, leading to my defeat.

Me too. :/

I got the second one in the Orange Box thing, so I'm playing it just to play it. I don't love it.

Sternsy

You mean Half Life 2: Episode One or Episode Two? Or is it that abomination which combines both expansions?

Honest to god I'm not sure.

I got the second one in the Orange Box as well. I bought it to get premium TF2. And fell in love with Portal forever.

GLAdOS has to be the biggest fucking bitch in gaming.

Both Portals are amazing. They're my favorite games that I've played.

Huh, okay

I played HL2 on my computer. Nothing beats the computer experience while playing it (mostly because I also played HL on PC).

Yes! In August 2011 I was in game store and was like "I'll take this and this and this" then I saw Portal 2 and was all "... fuck all of these, THAT'S WHAT I WANT!"

[New haven america]

HL 3 will come out eventually.

Episode 3 better come out before I die damnit. I really want to see how it all ends.

Whoa man, whoa, that goin' a bit too fast, you have to give these people time.

Yep, I knew that. Game Theory taught me that

You're playing the first game, I take it? 3rd mission would be "Return to Kharak"?

Try again from the beginning, if you like. My advice is that you invest heavily in interceptors. Scouts are fodder. Light corvettes are useless, and heavy corvettes only work against fighter-class enemies. Do not use them on frigates. Use Salvage corvettes against enemy frigates and capital class ships - salvage as many as you can to conserve your own Ru's.

By the time you get to the 5th mission where you're squaring off with the fleet that sent Kharak to hell, you'll get tech for attack bombers. Use those against larger ships.

I never played the first one, so I have no clue what's going on backstory-wise.

Yes! In August 2011 I was in game store and was like "I'll take this and this and this" then I saw Portal 2 and was all "... fuck all of these, THAT'S WHAT I WANT!"

I played them in reverse, which was interesting. I'm going back now and replaying Portal 2 with the context of the first one.

Stragety and RPGs are my favs though.
I suck at video games in general. My family thinks I'm good, but that's only because they're worse than me. I avoid online play like the plague to prevent getting my ass handed to me on a silver platter.
Heck, I trained for years to try and beat my cousin in Nightfire, but still was never able to (I don't think PS2 vs GameCube makes too much of a difference, save the former only supports 4 bots while the latter supports up to 6) so even offline multiplayer I'm not great at.
All the games that I've left unfinished. Looks like my documents folder, all those unfinished stories and 3D designs.

They had enough time since 2007, humph

I had played original Portal through like 10 times before buying Portal 2. And the thing is, I got Orange Box in July 2011

Oh, HL2 is slightly tied in to HL1. It can pretty much be played as a standalone game. But if you want to know where the creatures at the initial cutscene come from and why are you encountering the monsters you are now plus where the hell did G-Man came from and why are you working for him you need to play 1

I'm also really bad at video games in general. I enjoy them, but it takes me so long to figure out the controls, and months to finish a game. I'm horrible at gaming.

Portal is a surprisingly short game. I was kinda expecting it to be longer.

I don't have the dedication to play a game 10 times, though, so mad props to you!

I go for $20 an hour

I never built any scouts, just used what was given to me by default, and replaced the scouts with interceptors as they died.
Before getting smashed, I only lost one scout, but built 5 interceptors (two died)
My salvage corvettes died when I accedently selected them to send them into a fight and they just sat there.

I got them in the 4th. I researched it but it wouldn't do me any good as I ran out of RUs trying to buy a collector.

I'll give it another go. The first mission was so damn tedious though

How many collectors are you building? You only need two. D: Just send escorts with them.

Same here. I doesn't take me long to figure out a game I'm playing fun and all, but it takes me FOREVER to learn how to play.

that's why I'm dying A LOT in Tomb Raider. I can't remember the controls.

I finished it in 60 minutes the first time, without speedrunning I can go for 40-45 minutes

And that was only back then, now I've played it through over 25 times
Got 35 hours in atm!

[Toasty Lawyer]

I'm in the middle of a hard case. My client is being accused of giving someone a waffle cake that doesn't contain waffles.

Why am I finding this so funny?

I don't know. This is serious business. My client could lose more than his butter tree if this doesn't work out for him.
