A full Blitzball game? Yes, please!

I misread this and thought you said "a fun Blitzball game," which defies imagination.

I don't think Chao raising would work well as a standalone game. Half the fun is going through Sonic levels collecting animals, Chaos Drives, and rings. Remove all of that and you just have a lame pet raising game.

Torturing those pets was pretty deep, for a side activity at least.

I've found so far in my EU4 sessions that aggression us really frowned upon and will cause everyone to unite to cut you down to size. In Civ you can usually just steamroll smaller opponents, in EU those smaller opponents form a coalition with a bunch of other opponents and they're a real threat. I think it's a scale thing, there's just so many potential enemies and I haven't figured out how to maintain peace whilst being expansionistic yet.

With Civilization 5 everybody is a too large blob, every war is attrition war. You are forming the map thus you may stop someone before they are too big. In EU4 they already are too big so you can't stop them, or they have too many friends. In short in Civilization everybody hates you yet afraid of you, while in Eu4 most doesn't care about you but none is afraid of you.

Anyone in here got some TF2 ref in their inventory? I need some and trading for it is apparently not an easy process.

Shadownet, pm me the info or whatever I need.

We usually play some rounds 10pm our time (me, chariot, huggy etc). Though I have no idea when shadownet played.
Click to expand...

I usually play... whenever. mostly afternoon and early evening. tonight was a weird exception cause I got home from work at 10:30pm and i told Huggie before I left for work that we should play tonight if he's still up.

So yeah. the only multiplayer games I play is this, CS:GO, and Torchlight 2.

gritty corn syrup and sugar.

"Candy corn is made primarily from sugar, corn syrup, wax, artificial coloring and binders." From the Wiki.

Who wants this dayglo thing in their mouth?

And for proof, here is a recipe.

As for multiplayer, you guys need to TF2. Our community is dead (gone on to Dooty 2)

My idea is to completely re-do the leveling system and make it more of a skill system, like what Ultima VIII tried to do but failed at miserably. The Chao themselves would learn through repetition and a more advanced praise/scold system. Chaos Drive grinding was the worst thing about raising Chao to begin with; a new game would essentially have to recreate Chao Adventure, but in 3D. This would entail large, non-linear areas to explore and raise your Chao in, and there'll be some genuine challenge (nothing arcane) in accessing new portions of these areas. The premise is that you're exploring Chao World through a select avatar (could be Sonic, could be Alex Kidd, who knows!) and interacting with the indigenous critters to progress and love on the little guys.

I thought it would be free* Farming Simulator DLC?

No Man's Sky is still coming to the PC.

“Basically we’re doing a console debut on PS4. That’s all we’re saying right now. But that leaves open a PC version, which we really want to do.”
Click to expand...
The response I received was basically thus: there’s nothing locking Hello Games into only making a PS4 version, but the team is purposefully small and they don’t want to balloon it out so big that it pops, letting out creative potential with a sad “pffffffftheeep.” Given that the game is still a ways off, the studio isn’t entirely sure how much that will limit its ability to do two versions at the same time. For now, then, they don’t want to announce anything. Not until they’re sure.

That's classic "Console first, PC later" talk.

Don'tchu be messin' wit my emotions. Oh wait...

No Man's Sky being semi-deconfirmed is seriously pissing me off though. Or delayed, whatever. They seemingly got paid enough to shut up about it until it happens later.

I had my suspicions that this will happen when everybody got hyped about it... but still it hurts.

Chaos Drive grinding may have gotten boring after a while but it still sounds better than watching Chao swim repeatedly until they get better at it (unless you're thinking of a more hands-on approach to leveling up Chao). Plus I thought that the better animals being in harder-to-reach spots of the levels was a pretty cool idea. I do like the idea of a bigger and explorable Chao World though.

Uh, I've never messed with fantasy football in my life. I'm in if it's American Football like I think it is.

dont worry, its not hard to pick up at all. you pretty much draft a bunch of players, plug them into the starting lineup on game day, and hope they score you points. (i.e. catching td, running td, etc)

you go up against another team every week. whichever team get the most points win that week. and then we go to playoff. whichever team win at the end, win the entire thing.

thats pretty much the short version of it. :) dont worry. just come join and have fun if you want, i can teach you the rest later. :)
