A sleepy and brief "hello and goodnight" to you all! Been an exhausting day, but the pup is off for a week of board & train while I get some rest and focus on getting a bit healthier. I'm going to start by getting back to this sleep marathon I started by accident yesterday. :)
I hope you are all doing well! I haven't had a chance to even lurk much today, but welcome back Pimp and hello to the lot of you! Stilton, I'd love to see your music list when you've got one put together... I started running through lots of old music I hadn't heard in years myself, just listening through old favorites and enjoying them more than I had in some time. It's nice to have lots of new music and a new appreciation for the old hitting me at once. My lady just recently asked me to make a few playlists for her ipod, so I'll probably be making some "digital mix tape" lists of my own, and may assault the thread every now and then, at least until the tomatoes start heading my way.
Okay, goodnight for now, folks!
*oh, and I've surely left some conversations open through the past few days, so my apologies for that. :)

Good Morning!
...makes Homer a reformed dull bastard? ... no wait there's one word too many :p
Stumbled upon a cave in Albion... No idea if it's a plot location or just meant for leveling up.
One thing is sure, it's a huge frigging labyrinth. Well, at least the game has an automap system :)
And the kind that helps you see which areas you have already visited, with the "fog-of-war" thingie.
What's a proper word... well anyhow..
Gained some levels for everyone, but with the cost of starting to forget what the hell it was that I was supposed to be doing before I entered this damn place ;)
Yeah the game does not have a quest log system ;)
Ah also found a rather annoying "feature": in the 3D mode (first-person) you can't really see right at your feet, like what you are standing on or what you are standing very close to. It's some kind of Wolfenstein 3D engine with a bit of resolution upgrading and added colours... Anyhow: super annoying when you have just climbed up a hole with a rope, and upon ascending, you can't see the hole -> easy to fall down it and back to where you came from. Repeat a few times and it becomes a bit annoying :) Just have to guess which way you should move, and with the help of the minimap you get away. At least there's no hitpoint loss for the characters.

Burning CD's while watching video reviews of incredibly bad religious movies. Guess that's one way to kill a Saturday night.

Albion sounds like they were trying to do different things, ending up with implementation problems because it wasn't copying things other people have done to death.

Good Morevening, Crow! :)
Bad religious movies... sounds interesting ;)
Have you ever tried indieflix.com ? There's some really strange stuff, especially the horror section... Although there's some classics like Evil Dead 1-2...
Yeah Albion... It's kinda nice they did put the first person mode in, in the sense that when a pack of monsters suprise you around the corner, there's a kind of a jump-scare moment occasionally... And I like that :) But yeah there are problems... then again kind of easier to forgive those for me at least, the game having been released in 1996.

Thank you for passing that info along. Skimming the horror section, and there are a few movies in that section that I learned about from Cinema Snob reviews. Some incredibly nasty movies in that bunch. Going to put Cannibal Holocaust on now, that's supposed to be one of the worst.
Or not. Turns out it's a subscription service.
True. It gets harder to give a game grief when it's almost 20 years old. It's very well regarded despite any mechanic flaws.
