timppu: Finished the Freespace base campaing at last, so I guess next I will start complaining about the Silent Threat expansion.

drealmer7: what, no details on the successful run?! I am disappointed! (well not really!)
You didn't follow <span class="bold">the rabbit</span>... My thesis is there, Freespace doctorate is mine!

To celebrate this, party at drealmer's home tomorrow at 10pm! Bring your own booze.
Damn it, now I'd like to replay the last two missions of Freespace because only now it occurred to me how extremely useful the D-Missile would have been in the last mission.

Apparently it would disable the whole Lucifer for 10 seconds at a time, which would help A LOT with me avoiding missiles from launchers (while destroying the Weapon Subsystem and Reactor 5), and also the friendly fighters and the Delta wing bombers in whatever they are doing at the time. Lucifer's defenses were the number one reason why my wingmates and the bombers seemed to be failing.

It just seems to me that Freespace doesn't offer an option to replay already finished missions, even in any simulator or such? Now that the main campaign is finished, it just tells me either to select a new campaign, or create a new player.

Dang it, I am not going to replay the whole game just to try it.
Just got chewed on by a Devil May Cry boss about twenty times, oww. I hate being chewed on.

HunchBluntley: Having only watched the trailer, I think it looks like a cross between Eador (and given the title of this, it may have been a bit "inspired by" that) and Legend of Grimrock (though, TBH, the dungeon-crawl graphics remind me a little of the old <i>Ancients</i> DOS RPGs -- god, those games were ugly! XP ).
Yes, it's pretty much a mixture of the two genres. Town management and exploring isn't as complex as in Eador though and dungeon crawling is turn-based and has less puzzles than Legend of Grimrock. The one thing that really makes it unique in my eyes is the fact that you can have several parties at once (depending on your fame heroes will come to your cities and you can hire them) and that there are dungeons for which you need more than one party (for example one party has to switch levers in one part of a dungeon to open doors for the other party).

Game is great fun for me even if it isn't flawless (it could use more different enemies and a greater variety of dungeons) and sometimes feels a little unpolished
Now I'll play one or two rounds of Team Fortress 2, before I have to go somewhere to help with a move.

Later in the evening, or tomorrow, maybe start playing Freespace: Silent Threat.

I've been playing Eye of the Beholder 2 and Theme Hospital - both great games. TH is very addictive!
STILL bumping around in Terraria. Trying and trying to get my hands on a particular item for crafting, but the monster that drops it is rare and the 50-50 drop rate for the item has failed me 7 times now.

Would like to dip my toes into modified Stalker: SoC, or maybe the Metro games if my laptop will handle them..
Tried some Master of Magic again. Can't really decide on a good faction combination. Tried the dwarves but it didn't feel quite right. Instead decided to go for Freya + Barbarians, but I'm contemplating restarting on a small map. Medium size still feels too big.

please, if you bring booze, don't get obnoxious-drunk!

much more preferably, bring weed and instruments and be prepared to play some Werewolf/Mafia!
*Minor Devilmaycry4 boss spoiler*

This angler fish boss was dangling these cute little sirens infront of me, I was all like, Hiya! take that!

Scared the crap outta me when I saw a gigantic mouth filled with teeth come outta the darkness and saw the rest of him.

"Omfg!"

Freespace: Silent Threat

Playing in Insane difficulty, like the main campaign. First mission was ok, lots to fight but not too hard. The new Leecher gun seems great, it seemed to incapacitate the Aries 1 ship when I shoot at it for some time, even its autoturrets. Apparently it is useless against bigger (mother)ships though, so I need to carefully choose when to pick it and when not.

I died two times in the second mission, those bigger ships do some heavy damage to me. I checked a walkthrough, maybe you need to get on their tail so that their autoturrets can't find you? I'll need to investigate that more.

Fortunately in these expansion pack missions you have shields from the beginning. I hated the early main campaign missions, and the last mission, where you didn't have any shields.

The story in this expansion pack feels sinister from the beginning though, am I really playing a bad guy? The first two missions are basically "kill all witnesses", just because your bosses don't want anyone to know there was some fight between the humans and the Vasudans? Women and children too, flying in their pink and toy starfighters, minding their own business? I feel like shit, man.

No worry, I presume quite soon my character becomes a turncoat, a rebel fighting its former masters. I've seen that happening in so many movies and I am sure my character has seen some of those movies too.

timppu: ...
Now you've done it. I just installed Freespace (2). SCP version... And I'll be damned if I play it on Insane...
Getting close to beating Dragon Quest. Just need the time and patience to grind a few more levels...
I just downloaded Septerra Core and Journeyman Project: Pegasus Prime from my library.
I remember when my friend showed me Septerra Core about 10 years ago. It was a very weird looking game for someone who had never really owned any JRPG on console, and I think the artstyle makes the game look intriguing. I'll finally check it out today!

Pegasus Prime will be my back-up game for when I just need to relax, since I love first-person adventure games that I can immerse myself into. I know you can die in this game, but... I still imagine it as a relaxing experience...
