Most intense gaming moment in General

Avernum 4? in General
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Saturday, September 3 2005 13:39 Profile Homepage #180 quote: Originally written by kuc: Like in E3 from memory, where you could hold the mouse down, and you would move (rather quickly) in whichever direction the mouse faced? Good, but compared to using the keyboard, bad. No, E3 didn't have that - leastways not in Windows. I should know, I remember those long nights of "clickclickclickclickclickclickclick clickclickclickclickclickclickclickclickclick". Sister: Are you playing that dumb game again? Me: How did you know? They keyboard of course allowed rapid movement just by holding the key. The mouse didn't, hence the noise. The Avernum games had it though. It's a very convenient feature for walking long distances (and I hope this is what Drakey means by point and click). On the other hand, the Geneforge way of imitating real-time strategy games was a bit nauseating. Select a group of characters by dragging a box around them? At least they didn't respond with some stupid "Aye Sir" whenever ordered to move. In the beginning, I nearly tried to send the serviles off to gather wood and stone a la Age of Empires. :rolleyes: "Now where can I make a new Shaper?"

Most intense gaming moment in General
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Saturday, September 3 2005 08:25 Profile Homepage #12 Ah yes. The background sounds in GF and A3 did a lot to add to the atmosphere. That "whispering" that was always in the Undead dungeons was creepy... But I find it weird that everyone here lists some kind of battle as their most intense moment - doesn't virtual combat get repetitive after a while?

Most intense gaming moment in General
Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Saturday, September 3 2005 06:43 Profile Homepage #9 My most intense gaming moment ever would be while I was entering the Fortress in the Mechanical Age in MYST. I was literally shaking with a mixture of creepy uneasiness and anticipation. That was almost exactly 10 years ago. Even E3 didn't live up to that, although it came close a couple of times - in the same situations, ie. entering some dark, unknown dungeon of unspeakable power or evil. Combat comes as a cathartic relief in that ominous, tense atmosphere.

Weird Vahnatai in The Avernum Trilogy

Some others capitalize Elves and Dwarves but not men, which is strange, and more just leave them all lower case. —Alorael, who also enjoys pointing out that elvish and dwarfish are words. Elven and dwarven are not standard English. For consistency, it should be elfish and dwarfish, or elvish and dwarvish. :P -------------------- Encyclopaedia • Archives • Members • RSS [Topic / Forum] • Blog • Polaris • NaNoWriMo Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair.

Arancaytar Law Bringer Member # 2984	written Thursday, September 1 2005 21:46 Profile Homepage #15 I mentioned empiricism. As trustworthy as the other two may be, I only really know about one. Also, older members have the tendency to spend much longer on their posts (that's from experience). Compare with Ents: If it is worth saying, it is worth spending some time to say it. You will find virtually no typos or grammar mistakes, especially not ones made in haste or carelessness. Although that doesn't work the other way - not everyone who writes carefully is old. I'm not.

It is way, way, way controlled though regarding to whom it can be prescribed, and physicians are required to educate their patients thoroughly regarding the risks. Since the teratogenic effect is pretty much limited to pregnant women, it's not even that harmful a medication for others - although it is apparently mildly carcinogenic.
