Ask me about Briar Rose and Chicken Chaser.
Sometimes I want to go back and finish Eternal Darkness. The sanity system owned and there was something cool about how the aesthetics worked with the gameplay in general. But the puzzles were obtuse and really hurt the flow of the game, and I hated how you had to go through the entire thing four times to get the true ending.

I appreciate ED but I couldn't get into it either. It was annoying to play.

once at my friend Eric Cheung's house we were playing a gen 1 or 2 pokemon game and being really loud and rowdy and having fun. i think we were like 8 years old.

well his grandmother was upset about Eric's grades or something so she seized the gameboy out of his hands and went to smash the cartridge with a hammer. before she did, Eric looked at me to say something and defuse the situation but i just stood there and watched as she brought the hammer down on the pokemon game.

she lived through the japanese annexation of korea and the korean war but i still feel like i should have stopped her. no child deserves that. sorry Eric.

It does a lot of cool stuff but not so much that you need to play it more than once

it gave me some insight into the "darknet" like how people pay hundreds of dollars for say, a cod wallhack that auto-updates and obscures IPs and all sorts of poo poo, but also looks neat and clean and like it's part of the game instead of just turning off all textures

I was discussing Hearts of Iron with a colleague, and that reminded me of a confession I have to make, regarding a fairly long-term multiplayer campaign in Darkest Hour that I played, with two friends.

I was Argentina, and my friends were Brazil and Canada. During the lead-up to the war and in the early years, Brazil and I (both fascist regimes) conquered the entirety of South and Central America, splitting it between us equally, leaving divisions worth of military police garrisons in the annexed states to keep the peace/kill partisans and other unruly civilians. By the time the early '40s rolled around, the three of us had built up our armies quite a lot and managed to make advances into nuclear weaponry, bringing our alliance into the forefront of nuclear technology, alongside the USA. During this period testing was required in order to further our nuclear program, and as I had recently annexed Ecuador I decided to build a nuclear testing facility on the Galapagos Islands, to allow our scientists to get a reading on our weapons' capabilities. (With the minor side-effect of the beautiful flora and fauna being inevitably wiped out as a result)

As our end-goal of the campaign was to take out the USA and have the three of us own the entirety of the Americas, we moved our armies to the north (Canada) and south (Argentina+Brazil) borders of the USA's eastern seaboard - with the intention of racing down the coast, meeting up, then punching through the US armed forces and reaching the western coast. (As fortunately, through Canadian influence within the Allies we were able to keep the US from formally joining the Allies against Germany)
However, our main mistake was that we weren't anticipating the level of sheer determination and unwillingness to lose ground that the Americans displayed. Since as soon as the combined Argentine and Brazilian forces arrived at Corpus Christi (while the Canadian forces crossed the border at various points along the eastern half of the country, to take out much of the USA's industrial capacity as fast as possible) and engaged the bulk of the US forces in the region, the US proceeded to drop 2-3 atomic bombs on Corpus Christi, as well as at least ten other atomic bombs along the US-Canadian border (devastating locations such as Montreal, Ottawa and Boston), causing the forces on both sides of the conflict to be utterly annihilated in mere days.
Naturally, as we had recently assembled a couple of nuclear bombs of our own and that we couldn't leave this slight against us unanswered, (not to mention the fact that hundreds of thousands of our men now lay dead or dying) we proceeded to send our few strategic bombers into US airspace, dropping bombs on their already-crippled nation.

I have no idea how many people died as a result of our warmongering, but boy am I glad that wasn't the real outcome of WW2! :negative: (Although a lot of other things happened that game, too - as I recall the USA wound up being dragged into separate conflicts against India and China, and must've dropped at least twenty atomic bombs, between both nations. Not to mention a German attack on the US mainland, which was eventually put to a stop by the UK, who refused to return Norfolk to the US...)

And the moral of the story is: Never attack a nuke-toting nation with all your men at once...always leave at least a division or two, to come in afterwards and mop up the remainders!

Although what I'm curious about is this

So, just wondering - what's the difference between a Games map gamer and an Imp map gamer? Haven't really had much experience with the latter at this stage, (although I have a feeling I may've seen a couple of your posts here and there, in the Paradox threads) as far as I'm aware, so I'm not entirely certain as to where the distinction lies
