> I've heard a bunch of mostly-positive talk about the game recently (and I find it annoying, for reasons I'd have difficulty expressing)

Allow me to help express for you:

The game's entire point, every narrative decision in it, and the excuse for the sloppy mechanics -- is that it's all about 'the story' and about the player wanting to be a hero (instead of the character); and yet the game commits the capital sin of blaming the player for things that happen in cutscenes. Which causes it to be a massive failure that only garners attention from people who really want to reach into a game and pull out a meaning and call it art regardless of one of the most botched executions in recent memory.

SO EDGY

Your sarcasm detector's on the fritz, bro.

>>24639
You cannot imagine how tempted I am to argue with you right now.

>>24678
Telling the player they are a scumbag for making decisions that they cannot, in fact, make, lowers the impact of said decisions upon the realization that you cannot make them. It's a hamfisted 'war is hell' message that's been done before by other mediums far better and could have been done much, much better with an interactive medium, but falls flat when the interactivity that matters - making meaningful decisions - is removed.

Bioshock was amazing because it looked the obvious method of doing things in the eye and showed us what we were taking for granted.

The Line is terrible for using what we take for granted to show us what is obvious.

Show me a game where you're in a war, and you have to make tough decisions, but you can make them, and I'll show you a good game with a message. The Line is like making a bunch of people sit through a snuff film and saying 'god, you people are sick for watching this instead of walking out'.

>>24654
It would be a simpler sort of game, although Rokoa isn't what I would call a good kind of lone protaganist. It might not be as relevant if it is, in fact, a simple sort of game, but I can't say I thought of it much.

>>24658
Honestly my personal beleif here is that we should just make a mod for just cause 2 that replaces the main character with a model of rokoa
Nothing else
just rokoa blowing shit up and zipline-parachuting everything
(It also just occurred to me that the voice would clash hilariously and I love that prospect)

Kinda like that one GTA4 mod where we're Goofy and his model is so big and clunky most of the weapons and stuff clip through the body?

>>24662

actually that is the perfect game for Rokoa to be in

>>24662
>a mod for just cause 2 that replaces the main character with a model of polokoa

I'm thinking it's a setting a la Eberron.

It also looks awesome 5stars

>>24548
That is right. It is a setting book for the Dungeon World system, which is basically "D&D without all the bullshit." I highly recommend it, the core rules are available for free: http://book.dwgazetteer.com/

>>24550
Alright, cool. I'll check it out.

Huh! I didn't know you were the same Gnome as the one on this board. Small world.

>>24524
Okay if you want to learn the lore of THIS site let me give you a quick summery of some of the tgchan side that you wont hear from the 1d4chan article. First TGchan and /tg/ are diffent places so the /tg/ history of something can be almost the opposite history for TGchan like in this case. As it says she actually was a notoriously good troll on 4chan's /tg/ being everything they hated but here where we already accept creepy role play and furries she doesn't have much of the same bite.

Even so she still has caused one or two people to flip out here before. Though it was mostly over our acceptance/love of her and our constantly putting of titles such as beautiful/glorious/magnificent before her name. Mostly she is just made fun of or loved and lauded over as a joke, as she's still a poster child for much of what any RPer is annoyed at.

Such as in flare quest as has been mentioned.
http://tgchan.org/kusaba/questarch/res/54671.html

Also 2 chapters of Cutebold Slaughter Fest is devoted to her where we mostly just tried to make her cry before everyone got too distracted by plot.
http://tgchan.org/kusaba/questarch/res/70887.html
http://tgchan.org/kusaba/questarch/res/399068.html

And she was the most ridiculous wizard in Bite Quest (but in a good way).

Hope that helps for now.

>>24532
huh, so generally the consensus here is "kinda a douche, but nobody really gives a shit", correct?

One word: cccd9

Everyone loves Flarey. All 800 cheese-filled pounds of her.

May as well leave it longer than that, this is a slow board. At least wait until Ficus swings around so you can find out what the status of potential continuation might be. I'm you don't lurk IRC, since you probably would have asked there if you did; otherwise that'd be a great place to talk about such things.

Also if you didn't know and are curious, you can find Unnatural Selection stuff at:
http://www3.tgchan.org/wiki/Unnatural_Selection

>>23596
yeah okay, either way then. And I've actually been reading up on the quest through the wiki for a bit here.

Though, apparently the quest cuts out in the sixth installation, not looking forward to that.

>>23597
Don't worry too much about it cutting out. Lago will be getting the next chapter going soon-ish (before the next chapter of Polo starts up, at least. Probably after the current Chop and Story Seeker chapters wrap up).

Lago quests don't die- they just get in each other's way for a while. :V

>>23598
Wouldn't is be time for a clamp-continuation?
We leaved him at some kind of cliffhanger... unless chop is interrupted by an invasion of zombies and clamp popping up with a couple of dwarfs, lamias and dryders out of some hidden tunnels, it's slowly clamps turn again in my opinion^^

>>23589
Ah yes, Ficus's bizarre obsession with the "PG orgy."

Burn, son. Reach over your keyboard and help yourself to some of that ointment; about time you used it for what you're supposed to.

I'd like to take a moment to remind folks that sage works on tgchan, and this thread doesn't really deserve to hug the top of the board for months.

>>23869
Damn dude, way to tell him. And how day you say /smaller/ chans! This is a thriving community, a big family, go away!

Might just want to lock this thread or something to prevent people bumping it up.

This guy is, indeed, a creepy tool, and if he thinks he's getting anybody worthwhile to come over to his board with threads like this he's got another thing coming.

I also have both SC2 WoL and HotS in beta form.

Oh dang it's a Starcraft 2 tournament for TGChan dudes. http://challonge.com/TGCSC2
This tournament isn't going to be very serious. It will just be doing the matches whenever possible and then sending the replays to me. I will stream all the games and then we can do the finals live or something.
Sign up if you're a cool guy. Each match will be Wings of Liberty or Heart of the Swarm depending on whatever works for people.

I am so bad v people.
Quite frankly I'm bad v robuts

As a brit I am confused as to why you claim that this isn't toad-in-the-hole.

Maybe I just come from a background of culinary confusion. We stuck whole sausages in Yorkshire pudding too.

In the interests of staying on topic, imagine brownies with no chocolate and brown sugar instead. They are the most amazing things.

>>24003
>>24005
The problem is not the use of whole sausages (which is correct), but that the batter should cover the sausages leaving little of them exposed. That way, they will bake without the skin losing moisture and will remain soft. Otherwise it's no different from cooking the sausages and Yorkshire Pudding separately and placing them together during serving.

It's also a nicely animated Studio BONES show. Go download it from TokyoTosho or BakaBT, instead of watching it in eye-destroy-o-vision from some shitty streaming site. Assuming you're unwilling to buy the BDs sight-unseen.

Actually, that website has surprisingly good quality.
I was pleasantly surprised when I found it.

A Something Awful thread which has since been locked off and closed and sent on its merry way to the archives. It was a general Internet mock thread and this particular summary was about someone describing how they were asexual by, well, eleven paragraphs of comparing sex to bacon and why they had no desire for bacon. It was a ridiculous amount of waffling self-indulgence, but the original link to whatever it was escapes me. Seeing as it was on Tumblr, it more than likely has been deleted by its original author by now anyway.

Drat, I was really hoping to get a good read in on whatever that was. I love reading waffley things, rambling is neat.

A-HA!
As it turns out, the website logs your list according to which IP address you are at! As such, my list wasn't carried over when I went to work today!
That solves that issue, I suppose!

face=palmed

That explains why I couldn't seem to keep my own watched list--I have a dynamic IP.

Hm. Maybe there's a thing you can download that can keep things saved as a cookie or something.
TBH, having things saved to the server is just a whole mess of problems when it really comes down to it, but I'm not altogether sure if that's a fault of the chan setup or an error the programmers would be able to remedy.

Ah well.

WELCOME TO KUSABA. I hope you enjoy your stay.

Yeah, if you have a changing IP, it screws up everything. If you share your IP with someone else, such as being in the same house and using the same router, it screws up everything.

According to Dylan a cookie is already involved, in a stupid way, and the code is really dumb. No idea if any fixes are planned for the immediate future or not though.

>months
Maybe, but if you can't re-read it, you should probably ask yourself why you're giving a shit about the continuation in the first place.
>or years
If you can't re-read something after years, it's best you fuck off and concentrate on something else.

>>23531
If that's a problem, just don't read the suggestions! Nothing stopping you from skimming through and only reading the image-ed posts, and following the story, well, like a story.

>>23543
Have you ever tried to read Lunar Quest after a long shitstorm? The updates are islands in seas of shit. It takes far too long to scroll through manually and if you use pgdn/up or space then you tend to overshoot.

Sure, it's only a minor pain in the ass, but since the purpose of scrolling is to avoid the nuisance of reading the shitstorms, that pretty much makes things counterproductive.

>>23549
Yes, I have. I just use a mouse wheel- it's pretty easy to stop on the images.

But if you're really primarily concerned with efficiency, just jump from update to update with control f "Saulanna Rockblossom", and then keep mashing f3 or enter. (Or instead of a name, searching "File 1" works in pretty much any image quest). That'll get you pretty much the minimum keystrokes to scroll through the quest.

You'll have to use Firebug to inject it into the page; never got around to faffing with Greasemonkey because I was hoping I could convince Dylan to add it sitewide.

No guarantees that it still works or works properly, I wrote this ages ago and haven't used it much since.

Or something.

>>23084
Its up to you, i'm compiling a list of potentially anything.

>>23085
...it works. but they were pants.

i figured out how to do a sort of adventure system that i like more then the KoL one. It's based on Energy Points from the meals you eat in a meal count. It'll work like this, there will be Food and Drink item categories. These food and drinks will each have quality types. The food count will be as follows, you will be able to have 3 meals before you Sleep. 1 meal comprises of 1 food and 1 drink. Each food and drink will have a quality rating: Terrible, Bad, Not Bad, Fair, Good, Great, and Fantastic. Each quality will represent an amount of energy you will receive after you sleep. A player will start off with being able to eat 3 meals any time before sleeping and get energy to go out to adventure some more. There will be items which will give tempory buffs to the amount of energy you recieve from foods, and there will be skills and such to increase the number of meals at a time. I'm thinking the meal cap will be 7.

Now the energy will be what you use to adventure and stuff, like places will require certain amount of energy to have encounters.

I think it's a good system- gives the players the chance to continually play the game as long as you can keep farming food items.

alright, so the last day of the laptop. I'll be gone for a bit and will pop by to leave a comment or update my progress if i make any. either then that, just make some suggestions for items and whatnot.

Frank's pompadour? -Initiative because they see can see it from halfway across the map. Gloves of god strength? Cuddle bee honey? Gin and hair tonic? Krobin Headleaf Tea?

Good luck on the comp thing; I hope you'll be back soon.
