Be accepting of each other
Treat others with respect

Hardly ever happens in these kinds of discussions. Sadly, that is.

There's nothing wrong with a little healthy debating! Just make sure everyone counts to ten before posting. And besides, I doubt that Bush wil come over here and have his feelings hurt by the Aquaria forum, so it's okay

Hah, you won't believe how touchy otherwise cool people can get when it gets to topics like religion or politics.

I presume that discussions about controversial topics is also discouraged? Stuff like energy policy, adoration, religion, the Middle East, George Bush, Iraq, creationism, global warming, George Bush, etc. I know from experience that those kind of treads get nasty very, very quickly as people give very big emotional detachments to these topics.

Regretably I actually sent an angry email to Bit-Blot because Id paid for Aquaria and then couldn't download it. An alternate link was provided almost immediately which had me blushing and wishing I could unsend my email

I've sent several e-mails out to various indy game makers with compliments/comments (when they were very little known), questions(game problems/bad glitches), or... Can't remember the other one. Either way, they all replied by the next day and were way too kind, it's a nice change from the hotlines or websites like EA.

This could be bad, considering that the censors only work for words that have been spelled/typed :p

I'm still in those days, and will be for a while. It's rather hysterical, going from FEAR multiplayer, or even NWN multi at a lan, then going WAY back to Quake 3 or 2 and running around like mad idiots. I didn't even know that the earlier GTA games had a multiplayer option! Rockstar has turned GTA 1 and 2 into freeware, so I'll have to download it and check it out, but this week we're doing another LAN, I'll definitely make everyone at least try a round or three

I guess what I meant is that I prefer the FPS shooting style than the third person. Other than that, kudos!

A somewhat similar game to this, and I mean similar as in third person shooter with armour and different guns that has pretty good graphics for the time, is  Alien Shooter. Just a suggestion to anyone who feels like playing with mindless violence at the god awful hours of morning.

I agree with BR. In WoW and so many other MMO's, people who grind the most come off more like they have no life (sorry guys :p) There are a number of little roleplaying communities that have a 3D interface (I'm not talking about IMVU, but more like Furcadia). I have been dying to get my hands on a copy of Baldur's Gate, and am currently trying out Planescape: Torment (Which is just awesome). Neverwinter Nights was cool to look at, but I honestly wasn't too fond of it in comparison to it's older brothers and sisters. The only time I tried playing it multiplayer was at my friend's house and we all ended up nearly dying of laughter when her brother's mod went rampant. Just IMO

Thanks for the recommendations tiamax! I actually read Apathy and Other Small Victories back in September and I found it hilarious. I literally had to bite might lip when reading in public places so I didn't run the risk of bursting out laughing every couple of minutes and looking crazy.

The first time I read it, I checked it out from our campus library. It still had the pink slip on the cover, and as I read the first pages walking back toward the dorms, I burst out laughing. My friend stopped in front of me on the way to her chemistry class, I looked up and she had the funniest look on her face from my outburst.

Sounds like most Rogue games. I highly recommend Nethack and ADOM. :3

Heh, I've played the demo for shadowgrounds before, very fun little game, didn't like the aiming system very much, but other than that it was quite a bit of fun, definitely recommend it despite some of the little quirks. I agree about the EA
