I finally found someone outside the realm of the internet that plays Exile. Isn't that neat? College life is so fun.

I know how you feel, I found out a friend of mine 'used' to play exile, or maybe he still does. :) -------------------- --------------------------------- Live long and prosper. Posts: 84 | Registered: Wednesday, July 6 2005 07:00 |

Has it ever struck anyone that "I know how you feel" is perhaps the most presumptuous assertion it is possible to make? Also, I brought up Spiderweb Software on a PC in the school library around two years ago, and the guy next to me commented that I had a good taste in games. ^_^ [ Wednesday, August 31, 2005 11:58: Message edited by: Arancaytar ] -------------------- The Encyclopaedia Ermariana <-- Now a Wiki!

Yeah, this one time I was talking to one of my friends, and I suddenly had the urge to mention something in Exile. I was like "You've never played Exile, have you?" (thinking it was way too obscure for anyone to know about it. I don't think I even knew Spiderweb still existed, since the reason I played it was that Escape from the Pit was on the computer my parents bought when I was six. I guess whoever had it before us downloaded the demo or something.) But she had! And it was so exciting to talk about it with someone who (unlike my family) was actually interested in it. =D -------------------- A C, an E flat, and a G walk into the Tower of the Magi.

I started liking Avernum 2 and then I went to school one day to discover someone had downloaded it onto the computer. I found out who it was a few days later and I have had someone outside of these boards to discuss Spiderweb games with since. Posts: 776 | Registered: Friday, July 4 2003 07:00 |

I have yet to find someone that lives close to me that has actually liked playing SW games. I let a couple of my friends try out Avernum 2 last year and they commented that it looks like (obscene profanity not mentioned for CoC reasons) and that it had no music during gameplay. I personally like just about all the SW games and I'm quite surprised that some people who play SW games actually dislike it so much. Just because a game doesn't have top notch graphics and music doesn't make it bad. It was the gameplay and 30 second learning curve that made them so fun to play over and over. -------------------- "Truly, if there is evil in this world, it lies in the heart of mankind." -Edward D.

None of my friends knew about SW before I told them about it, and most of them aren't into RPGs. I'm the only girl that likes computer games, and only one of my friends likes RPGs as much as I do. -------------------- Nena Posts: 2032 | Registered: Wednesday, January 26 2005 08:00 |

No one I know plays Spiderweb games and it sometimes gets lonely when you really want to tell someone you finally finished Falling Stars with the all the artifacts after several play through.

quote:You could still tell them, and explain that it is a good thing. It might get them interested in SW. Personally, I don't know of anyone in the real world (that I talk to) that have played a Spiderweb game. They might all be playing them now, but it's unlikely. And, strange as it may seem, I don't mind. Spiderweb is then my thing - something I have that they don't. Besides, them with their nice musical scores and super-flash-bang graphics don't deserve the to experience the charm of Exile. -------------------- "I am a living sign..." Thus endeth this post.
