Just started playing Amnesia - The Dark Descent . A indie game I can strongly recommend to anyone that remotely favours survival horror or anything lovecraftian.

[quote who="Myles" reply="11" id="2792110"]How can you not like Minecraft when it's so similar to DF? I'm assuming it's the whole first person controls vs god in the sky controls, but the interaction between people in game really sells it for me.[/quote]I was just thinking how incredibly DIFFERENT they are. They have little to nothing in common, other than the fact that you STRIKE THE EARTH in both. I can't wait for Minecraft to have proper multiplayer. It's going to be awesome, with

Could people please stop calling it slippery slope? It's not a slippery slope. It's a cavernous fall into blackness. Slippery slope implies something potentially good going bad, slowly sliding downwards. This is a plummet. It started as a plummet and it's still plummeting. There's nothing slippery nor slope-y about it.

Currently it's an unfinished brick tower. Brick. Tower. For anyone trying to construct something larger than a hut out of bricks in Minecraft, I'll let that sink in. Worst. Decision. Ever. Still, I had no idea he made that kind of money on this. That's am

You're about two years late! D:

A distinct lack of bears.

Yarrrrrr!

[quote who="Larac" reply="21" id="2717718"]I'll take playing over waiting, and I trust Frog to get it in when it works fairly well.[/quote]The issue with trusting Frog is that you can't really.

[quote who="dionisus1122" reply="402" id="2717862"]Jesus you're dramatic. Get a grip. It's a game. Vote with your wallet if you're unhappy [/quote]We can't, if we pre-ordered. Some of us didn't pre-order until we were assured there would be LAN support for the game and that with multiplayer in the game, it would be done "right".

Try the support forum.

LAN Support.

[quote who="PurplePaladin" reply="13" id="2716568"]Well, after reading that post Frogboy started (you can't miss it, it's 15 pages long already), looks like Lan play is "not quite" possible right now. Each person has to purchase their own copy, and, you have to be connected to the internet to play. But my friends are going "but that's not Lan play!?!?". Anyway, I'm pretty sure it's about the same as SC2 multiplayer (at the moument), you'll all be playing each other via

[quote who="kochujang" reply="308" id="2715374"]You are wrong, in this case. There will be custom servers available, but probably not on day 0.[/quote]I'm not wrong at all. Re-read what I said. "In a future patch" is not what was said during the previous discussions on LAN support or at the time of my pre-order. [quote who="Tridus" reply="315" id="2715418"] [...] We've asked for a timetable and a list of what's actually in MP at release,

As someone who didn't pre-order until it was said that the game would have LAN-support as opposed to the "Stardock servers only" that had been discussed prior to that point, I feel nothing short of cheated. I genuinely thought Stardock was different. Turns out I was wrong. Would that I could get my money back. I now see what the pre-order-and-get-beta scheme is all about. [e digicons]#:([/e]

[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="61" id="2714161"]I was referring to the common American definition of "terrorist", not what I personally think a "terrorist" is (hence the quotation marks). I personally don't think the term "terrorist" should even be used in serious discussion, being far too subjective and general.[/quote]The definition is really quite simple. A terrorist is someone who uses acts of terror to achieve their goals. It really is that simple. By every definition, the

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="90" id="2714252"]There's no current timeline, it'll depend on what customers want us to focus our resources on. The first thing we'll want to do is see how many people are playing MP in the first place.[/quote]Wouldn't those statistics be somewhat skewed, seeing as how those of us that are only interested in LAN capabilities won't be tallied? Of course it's a non-issue, when those that are having issues can't be measured - because they're having issues!

Here's a 1920x1080 (16:9) wallpaper I removed the text from and resized/cropped. I've always hated promotional text in my wallpapers.

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="53" id="2714110"]As for LAN, I don't want to get into semantics here. I'm providing instructions on how people would play on their LAN. I think our policy is pretty flexible here. It's been many years since I've been on a LAN that didn't have a net connection. The game is a client/server game. The servers are on the Internet. [/quote]It's not really semantics. It's right there in the abbreviation; Local Area Network. If you require in

[quote who="Scoutdog" reply="55" id="2714000"]That's why I don't play most FPSs. Too militaristic. Halo 3 is a bit better than most, because you're fighting an enemy that makes a point to inflict as many civilian casualties as it can , and thus causes the remaining civilians to want to join the Human insurgency.[/quote]Oh, you mean like terrorists ?

Alpha Centauri and Planescape: Torment are likely the two games that influenced me the most during my formative years.

BioShock just went from "This is all a bit implausible, but fair enough" to "Holy shit this is nonsense" . Having player Bioshock and Bioshock 2, I can't say that I'm getting my hopes up. They were mediocre at best. [quote who="Annatar11" reply="25" id="2712229"]BioShock is far from a "landmark" game. It just got so much attention because it tried being a story-driven modern FPS instead of a plain shooter - and it did that mostly by just having you look around
