My camera battery needs to charge, and then I'll get pics.

Rosalie is a sweetheart, and a very, very, very good dog.

***Earniel*** · 10-17-2008, 05:06 PM

I've got all the requirements for Journey to the Moon too. And the other game that was in the same box with Journey played perfectly and was great fun. I even tried to install it in safe mode, without the anti virus software and all. Still breaks off mid-install. Heck, I even went looking all over the internet to see if there was a solution, and while others had just the exact same problem with it, no one had a solution. It's really, really frustrating.

I never played Civilisation, but my sis sometimes played Ages of Empire before she moved in. You could hear her villagers and/or enemies dying from two rooms away. They had such colourful ways of saying 'Aargh!' each time

**Mari** · 10-17-2008, 05:20 PM

Hehe, they do, don't they? I have that game too, but it's too easy for me now.

Some things from games just get stuck in your head. Like: "I can't reach it!" from Indiana Jones or "Wat gaaaaaa je doen!?" from Rad van Fortuin.

By the way, Civ really is nice if you like strategy games.

Curufin · 10-17-2008, 05:22 PM

I loved Civ IV, but I lost the first disc, so now I can't play it anymore - until I can afford to buy it again. And it's not a cheap game. . .and with the way Rosalie is going through dog bones, I'm going to have to get a second job just for those. . .

I do have Civ II on my computer right now, though, and while it's not as good as IV, it's still fun.

**Mari** · 10-17-2008, 05:25 PM

Civ III rules! Civ IV is only 5 euros here though.

Try getting her a good rope. She might like gnawing on that too

Curufin · 10-17-2008, 05:26 PM

Really? Civ IV is $49.95 here. *dies*

Yeah, I've got to find her some chewtoys that she can't demolish in an afternoon.

LOL, too true. My sis and I can quote insults from Monkey Island at each other. "You fight like a dairy farmer!" "How appropriate, you fight like a cow!"

Eh, I suck at those, just as I suck at fighting games. Don't have the head for battle campaigns, I'm afraid.

BeardofPants · 10-17-2008, 06:41 PM

Which Indy game, Mari? The early lucasarts ones, or the later "tomb raider" style ones? I totally HEART the early Indy games, but the latter suck ass.

Dreamfall is the sequel to TLJ. IIRC, they're made by some danish company. Now, I really wanna play Dreamfall.

Noble Elf Lord · 10-18-2008, 05:15 AM

Anyone who likes action games should try Devil May Cry 1,2,3 or 4. I have 3, and have played the fourth. It's just slightly bugging me that the numbers are different from the chronological order. I think it goes 3, 1, 4, 2.

EDIT: They are rather violent, since the demons and half- demons can take incredible amounts of physical damage.

I don't mind though. I prefer that the violence exists in the games, rather than in the real world. You can't blame games for people's violence; there's something else seriously wrong with a person, if they begin to manifest the gore resembling that of the games.

Grey_Wolf · 10-18-2008, 05:34 AM

**Mari** · 10-18-2008, 05:35 AM

I think it was one of the early games, BoP. It was the one with Sophie and a necklace with lots of Germans. Okay, I think I just described half the Indy games.

Noble, I have one game I always play when I am enormously frustrated which is an actiongame (sort of) called Wizardry 8. For the rest I just play strategy, RPG or point and click adventures. As long as it doesn't involve too much blood etc.
I DO however like Dungeon Keeper. I own 1 and 2, but 1 is infinitely better than 2. I nearly finished the campaign in 1, but my CD is broken or something, because in the last few minutes of the last assignment when I am totally obliterating my opponent, the game keeps crashing

This is also a good game to combat frustrations

BeardofPants · 10-18-2008, 06:33 AM

Fate of Atlantis. My favourite.

Empress_Flynn · 10-18-2008, 08:03 AM

I'm not around for one day and a whole new cafe opens...

Really need to get my sleep sorted... I'm exhausted by 8 PM and then awake at about 6 AM...

Hiya everyone ^^

Curufin · 10-18-2008, 08:18 AM

Argh, I was up way too late. I hate having to go into work in the morning. I'm too much of a night-owl; having to get up early is a killer.

You have my sympathy - I'm much of the same myself ...

Hmm, I wonder where you could have gotten that name from

Hi, all. I'm back for a bit visit. Moving is kicking my ass, on top of getting everything ready for the wedding

sisterandcousinandaunt · 10-18-2008, 10:54 AM

Hey, Acally! Glad you could stop by!

When's the big day?

Couldn't you negotiate about your work time? I haven't the foggiest about how many hours you're supposoed to work, but if you went to work for ex. at 12:30, and quitted about +-6 hours later- wouldn't that do?

I'm pretty nocturnal too, or I would be, if school would allow that.

Go to England for 4 months and then come back to the US... you'll be able to wake up early no problem
