DANG YOU Multiwinia!

Honestly the Darwinia demo was possibly the best Demo I ever played. It felt like a small and fun game with a very interesting story.

Unfortunately Multiwinia ruins it with... what its existance implies.
I started Darwinia, and I played the first stage and was unimpressed. I haven't played more yet, because Uplink is taking my attention.

I like the story more.

That essentially the Darwinians are essentially sentient lifeforms. The problem with Multiwinia is that it sort of is like a videogame based on you being pure EVIL!
This is different from DF... how?

Sort of... drastically different. Darwinia doesn't attempt to simulate life.

It is all in the story.

I've been getting back into Uplink today. The combination of nostalgia and high quality headphones to enjoy the music is making this a very enjoyable game once more.

Maybe it's parasitic. It never loses its flavor because you eventually die from having your nutrients stolen by it.

Difference is that in the Darwinia story, the Darwinians are sentient life forms, as opposed to in DF, in which the dorfs are sentient beings...oh, wait.

Aquaria is great, and I haven't even done much of anything in it yet. There's a serious lack of direction, and the mouse is WAY to sensitive in the menus. Other then that, it's great.

It has a few interesting mods as well.

I FUCKING SUUUUUCK AT UPLINK.

And one of the very first Darvinia missions is already unwinnable because I only have 149 Darvinians alive :/

Made the mistake of trying to rob a bank account of it's funds before my computer was ready to do that habitually. Got disavowed by Uplink. :(

Kinda lost some of my magic touch in that game.

What, specifically, are you bad at in Uplink? Maybe I can give you pertinent advice.

I saw that the Humble Bundle had Uplink.

I'd played a pirated version before and loved it, so I bought the game. Hoo-yah.

Man, I love the graphical style they are going with in Prison Architect.  Its simple but looks so good.

Also you know you can revive Darwinians right? You can collect souls from other programs too.

The entire "paying attention to other people tracing yur actions and disconnecting before they can track you"-thing.

All the other programs are dead and there's nothing there to revive because I only had so many to begin with. The souls of the viruses I deleted usually ascended before I could collect them all.

The Trace Tracker usually helps point out how long you have before you need to GTFO, though its much more useful in v.3 or 4.
Also, the InterNIC doesn't track you for breaking into thier admin passworded section, nor do they change said password. Erase your logs from there if you need somewhere to get into quickly.

You can reset the level you know right?

Although it seems replaying a level could be pretty boring.... Especially the early levels

I always get the v.4. asap and whoever doesn't bounce from NIC is a moron.
's my not playing any friggin' attention that's the problem (that and deleting logs doesn't help if you are caught in flagranti).
