IC is a pretty cool game, but I'd prefer it if you designed creatures in the field ala the campaign.

Startopia is baller as hell and really cool. I loved it dearly until I found out that it was about massing security scuzzers and kasvasgorians to assault with. I still like it.

Breaking into segments is fun as hell, but the sandbox mode where you keep playing forever is addictive and fun. You can sink a whole day into it if you're feeling like it; other games just reach a point where it gets boring to watch your fully-developed city/dungeon/whatever run itself but I don't get bored doing it in Startopia: the fact that every now and then a damn Thrasher goes on a rampage in the engineering deck might be responsible. The commentator is funny too.

Question for mastahcheese: If you would be doing that hypothetical Silent Storm forum LP at some point, which game would you be doing? The original, or Sentinels? Because I have half a mind of trying my hand at it, and it wouldn't do to have two people doing the same game.

[mastahcheese]

I'd probably do the Sentinels one, since that's the one I downloaded.

Also, when I feel better, I may do a forum LP of WazHack, this game is hilarious, it's like NetHack, but a lot more intuitive.

I love gardening. Give me the cold, moist land to generate alien artifacts!

I got that 2 days ago and its great.  Its like Nethack for people who don't want to spend half their time herding a cat or typing "Elbereth".  And it has some really cool new stuff, like leveling up as a polymorphed creature separately from your main class, or getting a human follower who can be given all the same gear as you.

My main complaint so far besides the occasional glitches is how low your starting health is.  There are some really cheap deaths that can happen before you get a chance to level up.

[mastahcheese]

Yeah, I know. An sometimes the game will just give you the finger and have you step on a teleport trap, and you wind up in between two hill giants. I mean, come on, that was lame.

And the gas gems.

"You killed the goblin!"
"The gas gem emits gas"
"You have died"

I was never good at gardening ... but I loved flooding the whole bio-deck. It made for amusing situations; tourists would beam-up to the place and suddenly, WHAT?! WHERE? WATER?? ARRGH!!!

The controls for that area are quite impressive. Moisture, Sunlight, elevation, temperature ... a real Zen experience.
