I want two things off of my wishlist: Boulderdash and BattleChess.
Of all the games on my wishlist, I would actually play those two.
But I've got another week.... so we'll see what happens. | |
To whomever "Blake" is...
Before anyone says anything... my memory of "Who's who" is pretty shakey.
But I Dearly appreciate the gift!
I will be playing it, and whatever the result (win or lose), I'll put the video of the game up on my Snarky Gen-Xer channel.
Hell, I'll post a link here, just because. | |

Well, I recorded it. I admit, I lost that first game. But I also played on the old PC graphix.
Damned shame they didn't use the same sound effects that they used on the Amiga. They were a lot better.
Still, I'm going to keep playing. Going to give it a shot on the "updated" graphix, and see how it goes. I love playing chess. It was just the gameplay that made this title unique.

In all seriousness, get ready for an influx of newbs (and with my luck they will be on my team while everyone whose semi decent up to experienced people playing since 1999 will be on the other team). Google reports TFC is $0.99 and I saw a Reddit post on the TFC subreddit (didn’t know it was a thing lmao), asking about buying it and wanting to play it. | |
I like how you complain about being on bad teams when like 90% of games you are on a mismatched team that favors you. | |
I mean of course I'm going to express my opinion/ whine about it here and not in game because that's how you virgins get kicked/ banned.
Maybe with the time that your on you see me on a team that wins/ has more players with experience than yours but I do lose just as much and I feel I'm constantly have to say in the mic "Don't block each others shots" or "Stop walking in front of me when I'm 1v1'ing someone" or in team/ pub chat how we deserve the loss cause we weren't organized or set up correctly or see a newbie engine build in an asinine location or having my teammates doing laps inside our base while I'm trying to anticipate and damage as many O as possible who still play thinking its their CAL days in 1999 thinking it's going to impress Becky from History class 30 years later even though she is married and has a family. Actually come to think about it, I do notice that my team doesn't usually have the defense the other team has as our basement is usually empty while the enemy team has a player defending every square inch on the way to the flag (if anyone wondered why I start and stay as D is because I've lost countless games leaving the basement to go O so I usually stay put until I know D is tighter than a 5 year olds anus).
Probably doesn't help that people wait in spectator and will jump in 5 minutes into the game once they cherry pick. I find that annoying because I notice you faggots take turns in the spiral circle jerking and healing each other and come down one at a time to whittle me down or come down the spiral and elevator at the same time and ,to quote pepperjack, essentially go FGFGFGGFGFGFGFG on me. Lot's of times I find myself needing to actually use my grenades because I feel I defend alone or with less than a handful of people. Then once the flag gets capped or moved to a location close enough where it can be capped is when people fill in and then things start stabilizing but at that point its too late. Also I join first 99% of the time before anyone even loads in so in fact people join after me is not me manipulating or rigging or me joining to stack. The only thing I care about is me and gaba playing together because it's been hard ever since 2 people (I assume this whole autobalancer started because of them) kind of ruined it for a lot of people but meh, I just play whether I'm on the team that gets pub stomped, wins, or ties.
Edit - although I am kind of proud I was on a team yesterday with more inexperienced people that did manage to beat a team of regulars a couple times although being last minute caps but still a win....you can't really call that kind of game stacked in my favor. | |

Fuck, me! I just looked at the recording, and I guess because it's through DOSBox, the resolution is very low... so the game is only visible in the "upper left corner", where my "camera" box is when I record TFC. So that camera box literally covers almost all of the game's screen.
The game still works, but I'll have to move the camera "box" elsewhere for recording that game. Dammit. | |

I didnt say that you did that. I know im not on as much as you (nearly anytime im on lately you are on) so I cant speak for games outside of that. Nearly every start of a new game unless im taking a piss between rounds its you vs me to start.
The balancer isnt balancing you right is my thought. Because after that point you get number advantages and im not as good as you.
Also the other day the second I joined the game which by my guess was about 5 minutes into the match gaba joined your team and you guys just wrecked us. Which tells me gaba had !switch to join your team before I joined and me joining made it so he could switch and that im ranked higher than he is. It wasnt even fair. Like fishing with dynamite so im not even sure how he was allowed to switch You guys had neseman and a couple other decent regulars with only a -1 person difference.
All of your teams players had 30+ kills where only 2 players on my team had more than 10 kills.
Balancer was reading 11%, 13%. No one would even off the teams. To me thats just as bad as waiting in spectate to cherry pick teams.
Then you guys didnt even have the sportsmanship to finish it off. Just got 5 caps with 20 minutes left and just dragged the match on.
Either even off the teams or finish it off quickly.
You, gaba or nese could have easily evened off the teams yet you three did nothing. Bravo.

SORCERY AFOOT!
Twice today... TWICE... I had a target for "first unf," and they quit seconds before my hour timer was up.
WHAT IS THIS? WHAT IS HAPPENING? | |

Hitz, Medieval II: Total War one of my favorite single-person games to go to. Currently over 2k hours on it. My top one is Mount & Blade Warband (usually Viking Conquest) with over 3300 hours. TFC 'only' has a bit over 1600 hours on Steam. Stellaris would be another good game. I have a bit over 1600 hours on that too. One of the few games I've played a fair amount both single-player and multiplayer. | |

If you've never played Bioshock, i can't recommend it enough. Just an amazing and fun game. One of the all time greats. | |

You could have got that for free a few weeks back on the Epic store, FYI | |
