Re: Coop Series #1: Diablo II & Lord of Destruction Expansion

It's pretty obvious how that works, though. I just hope my making light of it didn't seem like confusion, but it was a laugh pointing out Lupin's Wolf-head (and it doesn't get more Druidy than an animal-head) and Moon's metal pants (which I knew he'd bought from Gheed), I knew those weren't hacked i...

Re: Gothic 3 PC

Actually no, Berserker, that's wrong. I shall provide illumination as to why I say that. Gothic 3 had the makings of one of the best games ever made, it was its ambition that made it fall short. The story was well translated, the voice acting lead to some genuinely heartwarming and intentionally fun...

Re: Coop Series #1: Diablo II & Lord of Destruction Expansion

And it worked better with Skype, too. Though Shadow being a Transformer was particularly hilarious. As for the server shutdowns, I really feel like I dropped the ball there, even though it only happened three times and it was about five minutes each, it still shouldn't have happened at all. I'm actu...

Game going at 6PM EDT, an hour from now. If you wish to join in on the game, then join in on the IRC within the next half hour, only those present from 5:30PM EDT will be accounted for, so be there or be... er, not there, or square, however that goes. The game proper won't start until 6PM EDT, but t...

Re: Coop Series #1: Diablo II & Lord of Destruction Expansion

Spongy: The only reason I left TeamSpeak was because it didn't seem to work for me, I think this was due to Win 7, all I heard was gargling and static. I'm almost 100 per cent sure this was Win 7 (Vista 64-bit optimised) being incompatible with stuff again. :/ The reason I dropped the instructions w...

Re: Coop Series #1: Diablo II & Lord of Destruction Expansion

Whisper, I've added a new guideline and a set of communication guidelines. What do you think of them? I think they cover the basics, but if you think I should change anything or you have any ideas, let me know.

I'll put some rules in the first post though for our next session, and one more is necessary. - The point is for everyone to have fun, the en...

Re: Coop Series #1: Diablo II & Lord of Destruction Expansion

Well, since Wingman has it installed already, and since Spongy can get a server set up for it, should we consider TeamSpeak our primary form of communication? Also, here's a bit of an update: The portable version of Diablo II runs beautifully, Moon and I are both using it, and it's great. The in-gam...

Posting data over from the old thread, and from IMs. - Moonraiser is fine for any time after 4PM (PST). - Whisperwind will be able to play up until 6:30/7:00PM (EST), but she might have to disappear for a family dinner then, and will pop by again later, so we might want to schedule an intermission a...

Still, as far as Duke Nukem 3D is concerned, it's only 20~MeB to download, and I have it n my GoG.com account, which I could share so others have access to it. Or it could be bough...

Re: Utterly mad Pack retro-game coop bash!

Yeah, I did do some checking in to Diablo II and there are two reasons I didn't mention it: - The game and the expansion pack (that has the werewolves) are sold separately, they're $19.99 each, usually, unless bought second hand (in which case one is likely to get a useless CD key). There's also the...

Re: Do you Howl?

I tend to defenest--howl. Howl. I tend to howl. This is usually because I have a Samoyed who likes to 'talk' and howl. By talk I mean very vocal sounds that aren't barking, curious 'aroo's, to the hello-like 'awoowow', and so on. I spend a lot of time with him, so I've picked up lots of body languag...
