How similar is it to something like FTL? I love that game to death.

There was no big money involved back then (only if you played CS), at least financially you didn't miss much.
What was the name of your clan? American or European? We only played americans rarely in friendlies and at the world cup.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
It looks like something I'd really really like. ..but it's EA.. and it seems like I'd probably get my fill of it before it'd ever actually release.
Love the look of it.
Is cinder supposed to be good?
Never heard of it before today.
Wasn't their idea to get people to work on the Netplay for them via a contest?
I'm guessing that didn't work out?

are you zyklon, by chance?
100% legit. Game is that cheap on Russia.
What to do, what to do?
My mother always said to me I shouldn't accept things from strangers!
HNNNNG Such a lucky GAFfer! Enjoy it my good man.
Somewhat similar, but not completely.
Controls - The ship is actually controlled directly via WASD or arrow keys. I like this more than just clicking on waypoints, tbqh.
Map - There are static portions and also randomly generated. The world map is visually detailed. Landmarks block movement, as you would expect.
Flavor text - Lots of it, from landing at a town to incidental text when just sailing. Similar to quest/encounter text in FTL.
Gameplay - Combat is somewhat similar, without as much tactical depth. There is a definite "survival" aspect, managing resource, food, crew. Gameplay is more focused on exploration and quests, from getting as much gold as possible to solving the mystery of your father's death. There are trade routes as well, for a Privateer/Elite kind of vibe.
Some of the hand drawn portraits for characters I don't love. Some of them I do, as well as the map. Very nice looking. Sounds nice also.
It has a lot of potential. I look forward to playing more and seeing if they can deliver a lot of content.
Ooof, that HIB average.
Probably been mentioned already but Warlock II is currently £2.69 on GameFly (pricing error?): http://digital.gamefly.co.uk/#!/download-warlock-ii-the-exiled/5007789

I was in IOD, short for Clan IODINE. We weren't anything special, just had fun. We did have a few guys who went on to bigger things though. I miss TFC dearly.

The new Payday 2 DLC is OUT NOW btw:
Pure Terror. Too bad civilians will still stand up during a firefight and get shot.
Seriously I don't even feel bad. Idiocy like that is doing that games population a favor.
Most of the hype was around first release 2 years ago.
It only just appeared on Steam 2 months ago.
The devs have made a few other cool games that are worth a look too.
(None of them on Steam yet tho)

Pretty sure the DLC masks you get but still have to buy when you get the DLC.
But yeah so far I think unless it's DLC you only get masks from cards.

Seems like it. Thanks
it doesn't work with the 360 Wireless Dongle? Are you sure?
edit - I guess not. That's a shame... hopefully MS allows you to connect wirelessly at some point. Four DS4s connected over bluetooth = bliss

Yes.
Just saw that now. Gonna sell my cards from Antichamber and then pick up the new DLC, I need some angry monkey masks
it's a long story

It was a great game.
I 'came back' with the Orange Box solely for the TF2 Beta. Played it a few months, accepted that it wasn't the game I wanted to play more seriously. And now, I don't even know what it is. At least a nice resource for russian trades.

Thanks, just grabbed it before they change their mind.
One day, there's going to be a comicbook-style showdown between zkylon and zyklon.
zyklon would have to be some character who wears the same outfit as you with the colors inverted, detests DOTA, RPGs and anime art, is obsessive about capitalization and proper punctuation, and travels around with a pet tarantula because "spiders are da bess".
Naturally you'd have to kill him with murder.
Dyad and HARIBO would make a good combination.

Yeah I played TF2 a bit when it first came out. It was alright, but it was no TFC so I stopped playing it. I had high hopes for Fortress Forever (and even contributed to it briefly), but unfortunately that never really got off the ground.

Don't be mean to your elders! and you totally should play doto, enough of lol already!
I wish I had money for ordering pizza

edited: could we please, not talk about food or post pics of it? pretty please?
LoL,then? My bad, man. I've managed to stay MOBA-free all these years, so you'll have to excuse my confusion. A rare topic that I cherish my ignorance about.
