NV, yeah, it's pretty old, but they put in a new character last year so probably worth replaying.

Treasure Adventure Game (windows only) is quite good. Shame about the five-minute unskippable intro sequence.

i updated its thread recently but no responses - do any of you ever check in on kingdom of loathing? i played a bit in 2009, checked back in recently and they've revamped a lot. they've also added these challenge runs which are normal game progressions but with wildly different skill sets and limitations. super addictive.

I used to play obsessively, but (kind of like Glitch?) it seemed to be an all-or-nothing thing for me. Couldn't just check in for a coffee break. Probably haven't played for a couple of years... Could check back in again, I guess.

Check back in and try the Avatar of Boris run. It's a lot of fun.

somehow got addicted to this flash mmo topdown shooter kind of thing, Realm of the Mad Dog
every 20 minutes or so there's a huge earthquake and all of the players are transported down to the pit of hell in this giant mob to make a run at the evil lord of doom or whatever, nabbing crazy xp bonuses all the way as a team.

it's kind of chaotic to figure out what to do during the first 15 minutes or so, similar to Minecraft, but soon progress seems intuitive

Killed by a Great Lizard, actually two of them. Seriously, if you see one of the red dots on the minimap moving quickly in a circle, avoid them.The game's basic combat kind of reminds me of Sinistar - I used the old tricks of finding the boss, then running away while firing, all the while holding down the fire button to take out any minions in the crossfire.

I always have a lot of lag in games like this. the WASD ends up sending me in the opposite direction I push.
― Jeff, Saturday, 14 April 2012 14:07 (twelve years ago) link
It's pretty fun when you can hook up with someone else to slay a boss or two (the game encourages you to do it by giving you big exp bonuses when you're near other players), but often i can't keep up with the roving mob because i'm old man zach these days. still, multiplayer roguelike!

ugh, can't stop playing. it's an unnerving game because once you're a road or two into the island, the action is pretty relentless. it's always on the edge between manageable and chaos.
― Mad God 40/40 (Z S), Saturday, 14 April 2012 18:34 (twelve years ago) link
ok that game is neat and I spent way too much of this weekend on it, thank you
I am quite bad at it tho, or at least I'm quite bad at knowing when I'm out of my depth when wandering round the map (sometimes you see a new enemy and think "ok this dude is totally badass and I am foolish" and then they barely graze you, and then after that happens 5 times and you think "well I guess I need to find tougher guys to match my awesomeness" you suddenly turn a corner and go from full HP to 0 quicker than you can remember which slots have healing potion in)
I am also quite bad at steering around with one hand on WASD and the other aiming on my shitty laptop mousepad, going from doing that to looking at items or pressing 1-8 without something suddenly appearing and killing you is difficult, have no idea how anyone manages to chat as well

oh yeah, in big crowds I can't even tell which character is mine, which combined with the lagginess of big groups makes it a bit too easy to run right into a bad guy and then stand still under him going "uh"
(or find that suddenly everyone else is 6 screenfuls away and I don't know where I'm going)
― instant coffee happening between us (a passing spacecadet), Sunday, 15 April 2012 22:34 (twelve years ago) link

one thing that has been helping me is stashing away equipment for other classes in the vault. that way when you start out as a fresh character after dying, you can eq yourself with decent shit before heading out as a level 1

Oh god, I foolishly clicked through this thread again and it resulted in me playing straight through Abobo's Big Adventure. Which was definitely entertaining although really frustrating in a couple of places...I mean of all the things to take from Mega Man they went with the instant-death lasers!? Final boss fight was also kind of annoying...but satisfying when you finally pull it off. Lots of good gags along the way...maybe not the masterpiece it promised but definitely transcends the postmodern collage thing it shoots for.

Charming concept, sort of don't get how it's a game after a certain point - like once there's a million dots and the controls are so counterintuitive as to be random, then I'm basically just hitting the keys and hoping eventually the lucky dot hits the center. Like it's so soothing as to be a screensaver except also really sort of frustrating on a physical level.

ha i spent aaages playing realm of the mad god when 'working' on my first paper
the difficulty is keyed to altitude, moving inland is always towards the mountains which is where the boss monsters are; following roads keeps you on more or less the same difficulty
when i was playing it ppl were not managing to trigger the end-of-the-world bit every 20 minutes. but mb they have got better. i don't think i ever managed to hit the end-of-the-world boss tbh
