I've been playing Archeage, and OHMYGODI'MACTUALLYHAVINGFUNWITHANMMOALONE YEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

[Tawa]

An always fun piece of equipment is the jeweled dagger +5.  Seemingly ordinary!  Until you stab someone and it begins screaming.

Is it a ruby hilted dagger from Shadar Logoth?

No no, see, that's a dagger with a ruby in the hilt that has an advanced version of the disease Deathsong in it.

...that was a joking reference. It was a joke. You're supposed to be all "haaaa, I understand this reference" and then we internet high five and move on.

I only just saw this.

I GOT THE REFERENCE

Ditto.

[KingofstarrySkies]

More free things, because I am the watchful eye.

EDIT: Oh God, it gives you a BBC Micro Emulator. Anyone know how to work this shit?

Just under a month until Civ: BE is out.

I'm looking forward to it too much, I think.

Hey, I'm waiting for it as well Already preordered.

Hopefully there's more micromanagement than Civ V.

Something partway between IV and V would be great. IV's level of customisation and micromanagement, V's changes that make victories other than Conquest actually viable.

[Darvi]

Conquest is still the best one to go for, though.

Death is better than Conquest, imo.

I'm just waiting for Galactic Civs 3.  In 2 I made the ME civs, I think in 3 I'll do the FTL ones since their ship designs are pretty doable.

Also RE: Civs 5, even if you don't go for conquest you aren't winning without a military at least equal to the other players (remember they'll gang up on you as you start to win).  At least in Galactic Civs 2 you can pull off wins with a blatantly inferior military.

I remember in one of my ME test games I played as the Quarians, and intentionally filled the galaxy with military civs because the Quarians don't have easy lives.  I did badly in the colonization phase, and the Turians who were right next to me consistently hated my guts.  The military stats were something like Krogan > Geth >Turians > me.  So I basically paid the Krogan to start a huge galactic war with the other two powers.  Didn't stop the Turians from eventually attacking me, so I built a defensive fleet (read: no troop transports) and managed to hold them off.

When the dust settled, in the height of irony, I was allied with the Geth (who owned the whole fucking galaxy) and it was a race between them winning an influence victory and me finishing off the severely weakened Turians and Krogan to win an alliance victory.  In the end I won an alliance victory, and they possibly did too (given that it was an alliance of only 2 civs).  I guess the Geth became our benelovent protectors or something

Conquest is still the best one to go for, though.

Hell, it's advised you don't build wonders and instead just capture them.

True, true. I just like my non-optimal playstyles.

[Vorthon]

I'm geeking out right now. FTL contains a reference to the Chanur series. This makes me so damn happy.

I learned something on one of the random trivia and education shows I watch on youtube today.

That made me laugh.  (Though I do feel sorry for the cat)

[Knit tie]

I am going to London tomorrow to visit my boarding school classmate and so when I was bying my ticket today the ticket seller gave me one for the 1st class because he thought I was such a good person! Thank you random ticket seller!

[BadLemonsXI]

Specking of Civ I'v been in a game of Civ V with 3 other people and we have about 7 hr's up on our match over the last 2 weeks everyone going for a different victory I'm the one going for the one where if they don't give me some money I steam roll their country with my army. But I got to watch out because one of them is getting close to a time win. . . . Better take some citys off him.

Civ BE is going to be  a perk of my job. Boss got it free at the manager conference, but he's an xbone player, and I'm the PC expert of the store. So geeked.

[KingofstarrySkies]

>xbone
>in charge
>PC expert isn't in charge
DOES NOT COMPUTE

[MaximumZero]

He earned his manager spot. I'm certainly not contesting it, as he really knows his stuff. Then again, I'm the only real salesman the store has. The rest of the employees are just run of the mill geeks and stoners. I'm probably the only employee who would pass a drug test.
