      Ha ha! I'm still working on my Halloween Contest mission! I've come to the conclusion that I'm physically and mentally incapable of completing a mission in 2 weeks ...

      I am not a machi.... ... Anyway, I really am not a machine. Started this mission in October 2014, and didn't progress with it through most of the Spring and Summer. Things are going fine now, however.

      I'm assuming time travel is involved and those numbers are the years of some classic red wine vintages he picked up.

      Nonono! Do not embrace Chaos.

       

      Embrace Order.

       

      The systematic progression that is under logical control.

       

      The railroad that progresses beautifully from the abstract initial plan to the concrete realization of goals.

      Embrace creative chaos, the chaos in the heart of the order, or the order in the heart of the chaos, one of those.

      I want to play all of those lol. I've played some of them, but I missed a LOT of good ones.

      Cool. Disorientation deserves its spot there. I know most of these but there a few I have yet to try.

      Haha, good to see that you're Anonymous approved. Well done!

  5. The "go to first unread post" function seems to malfunction on my side. Is it working for everyone else?

      I just tested it on your post in the Crucible thread and it worked for me

      I am sure it was playing up for me recently on one of my mobile browsers too, but it's working ok now. I use Firefox on the PC, Chrome on the phone (because Firefox for android handles the forum desktop version badly)

  6. Three fan missions updated with numerous small fixes, and vastly reduced file size. :)

      Yes, most of them are in the current version (often with improvements), so they no longer had to be included in the mission archives.

      Fiasco at Fauchard Street went from 62 to 14 MB, and so on. Quite impressive.

      Just played a bit last night, nice work.

      Still not sure this article wasn't subtle satire. Head hurtz.

      It's quite possible the article is satire, but vampire and related communities are real: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otherkin#Description The Bloodlines entry on GOG's community wishlist used to get a load of scam spam like http://rfjseddon.net/ext/vampire_spammers.png

  8. TWO new fan missions in one day?! :D You people are astounding!

  9. Blades in the Dark is a tabletop RPG about thieves and thievery, now on Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2080350433/blades-in-the-dark I cannot vouch for it, but it seems to be getting a lot of good attention based on the previews.

  10. Those days when you get up seven in the morning full of ambition, and realise it is already eight o' clock due to daylight saving time...

      There's a seven in the morning on a weekend?

    2. Sotha

      Yep. That the hour when the children awake and come jumping on your belly. A memorable hour indeed. ;)

  11. Stairs. Why did it have to be stairs? :(

      Surely, it is time to scrap the mission, then. ;)

      Yes! While we are at it, we can also close the newbie DR thread if giving advise with good intentions is considered patronizing.

    4. Melan

      Melan

      No offense was taken.

  12. Check out this playthrough of Prowler of the Dark:

    Perfect Thief, Iron Man and Ghosting! Those are some very impressive taffing skills.

      Melan, your article made me laugh out loud. Well played.

  14. Danger: Diabolik is the best movie I have seen in 2015. Pure, shameless comic book gold.

  15. "End of the year" kind of overwhelmed. Would prefer to play TDM.

      Wow, The Fly. Why's he wearing lipstick? I... have several questions.

    3. ERH+

      ERH+

      Once Brundle-fly dreamt he was a whole family, merged with Geena Davis (what a nice idea) and her unborn baby. So maybe it is a part of this transgender deep Self merging of polarities and achieving godlike wholeness... by wearing lipstick and not shaving legs at the same time. Deep.

      This thread is now cooking... The Fly traumatized me at the age of 13... I was so jaded then... boom.. The Fly just eroded my comfort zone with horror flicks.

  17. Broke down and bought Grimrock II. Off I go!

      This is hard. Hard hard. But very cool.

      Oh yeah Hard is definitely tough. You'll die a lot before you can kill most enemies easily.

    4. Melan

      It is hard enough on Normal. Think I'll restart with a new, more optimised party.

  18. Amberstar: The complete Jochen Hippel score!

    So cool.
  19. There are no words: "Tetris, the block-stacking game that comes in near the top of many lists of greatest games ever, is being made into a live-action, feature-length, "sci-fi epic" motion picture, The Tetris Company announced today."

      The Tetris Company is a real thing, and I support it because for several years, Alexey Payitnov didn't receive proper royalties from his game. So he deserves whatever money he can get for it.

       

      The movie is still a bizarre idea, though.

      Dang! All the cool kids are mapping! I wanna too, but no time... :.)

  21. What time is it? Why, it is time to reread Jack Vance's Demon Princes!

      Melan

      It is elegant, funny, and full of colourful characters and dry wit. I try to reread it every few years, and find something new every time. :)
