It's stuff like that which makes me wish I had an IRL D&D group that knew how to play the game.

[Neonivek]

Ohh gawd!

I don't get to say this very often because I am a huge fan of the genre

But I just played the WORST point and click of my entire life.

I hear a lot of people give point and clicks a lot of flack...

There is Phantasmagoria 1 and 2, there is Kings Quest 7, and I have played Telltales "sleep your way through" point and clicks.

But DEAR goodness... Has Broken Sword 3 managed to reach a whole new level of boring, tedious, and silly. With a dreadful story that contradicts so much of what the earlier games tried to achieve, crate pushing puzzles and stealth sections galore, and honestly even for a point and click that story is BAD!

I have never seen a "Mystery" game both give away everything and give nothing away at the same time. "Yes here is the villain and all his motivations... Also we won't tell you what the devices are, who made them, or really how they work"

*goes to cry in a corner*

Seriously WTF 10 HOURS to beat this game.

Same here.

Or even some sort of message-board or skype or whatever based group. I've sunk too much money into splatbooks to only play Atari's Temple of Elemental Evil and SSI's Dark Queen of Krynn

Aaaah you guys are making me miss my DnD group.

Like that time I/my PC said "Well, that's enough adventuring for about one year!", only for the mad wizard whose dungeon we were leaving to overhear and freeze us in some sort of stasis field for exactly a year- which wreaked havoc with the deadlines we were supposed to be keeping with our employers, and got my character (already nicknamed 'Shitdrinker') shouted at rather a lot. Good times.

First, feminists took over the game journalism industry. Now they control Middle English.

We're all doomed.

I honestly can't imagine your character being named anything else. Except perhaps some kind of alcoholic innuendo.

Like "Cock Tail"?

You know... I see people say that "Fireballs and Chainlightning isn't very magical" if they are thinking of Fireballs and Chainlightning...

Or a bolt of numbers soaring through the air and doing 20 fire damage and 30 lightning damage.

Because I know that if I saw someone suddenly arc a lightning bolt through several people's bodies and their flesh crackled by the heat as their organs were fried... I'd probably be pretty scared.

[Fniff]

I don't understand that. Chainlightening and fireballs are very magical due to being...
Well, magic.

I'm falling asleep right now, but man, that was a weird day.
I can't really put my finger on why- sure, I was tired, but I usually am tired without things being this weird. All day long I was misinterpreting people, fumbling around and generally noticing oddness around me- all whilst actually being less anxious than usual. Even the pizza was sliced weirdly. And oh man, I had plenty of amusing derp moments. And before you ask, I was sober all day- kinda sad since it was my birthday.

Maybe all this miscellaneous weirdness is just part of getting old? Like I hit middle age and am immediately getting started on my mid-life crisis?

I dunno, I'm gonna sleep now.

Too bad DF is only single-threaded. If it was (massively) multi-threaded we could make dorfcoin, where you gain dorfcoins by performing calculations for slow as bedrock fortresses.
