TITAN QUEST

starring

HAWKEYE, the healer who doesn't

GARR, the most fragile of tanks

DISS, who wears the smart socks

SKILLS, melee archer

PANG, jealous of his own sword

DULL, "Leroy Jenkins"

and introducing

CRAPFOX

Oh man that game was excellent.

Great suggestion.

So, planning times:

I think we should pencil in Hero Quest for next week before everybody forgets the rules. The week after that is the first anniversary of our decision to commit to the idea that denisux, and that no one who disagrees should be permitted among us. I feel like this deserves some sort of recognition, but I'm not sure which game conveys best the ways in which denisux. Thoughts?

Saturday April 5 is International Tabletop Day, so I think it would be nice to do a Supplemental that evening, ideally something popular and approachable. Catan maybe? Maybe even something super dumb and traditional like Monopoly, Clue, Scrabble, that sort of business.

Alternate ITD idea: Clue/Jumanji/Battleship Drink-On

I have been considering all the ways in which denisux, and fear that they are so numerous and so terrible that I will not have time to adequately consider them all before next Thursday.

Perhaps something involving boxing.

Not too many multiplayer boxing titles on the PC. Super SFIV tournament, Balrog/Dudley only? $30 for a one-night gimmick is a bit much for some folks though. TF2 is free, and I could go for Night of The Melee Heavies.

Omigod there's a 19th-century boardgame literally just called BOXES but it looks boring as shit :(

Well this is denisux night, is it not?

If other people have AE (I do) then I would totally be down for an evening of punching in futility with my awful 360 gamepad.

[ 13:05:52 ] [ +^___^ ] so what are you guys playing tonight?
[ 13:06:03 ] [ +Diss ] Tonight is Hero Quest
[ 13:07:36 ] [ +^___^ ] is that on Steam?
[ 13:07:41 ] [ +Diss ] No
[ 13:07:54 ] [ +Diss ] We use Roll20 for lot of board games
[ 13:08:06 ] [ +^___^ ] oh it's a board game
[ 13:08:09 ] [ +^___^ ] I see
[ 13:16:24 ] [ +CS|DevMachine ] I thought tonight was titanquest
[ 13:16:26 ] [ +CS|DevMachine ] which is on steam
[ 13:21:49 ] [ +Diss ] Pang suggested HQ before people forget the rules
[ 13:21:57 ] [ +Diss ] But that's the only input anyone's given so far.
[ 13:22:21 ] [ +CS|DevMachine ] Well
[ 13:22:24 ] [ +CS|DevMachine ] I already forgot them!
[ 13:22:24 ] [ +CS|DevMachine ] so

Have fun, Pang!

Well, if you guys prefer to do Titan Quest again tonight and if somebody wants to grab that sixth player slot, it's always on sale somewhere.

On the other hand, if we play TQ again, there's a new patch. A patch for the patch.

You won't have to watch the intro movie again, though!

I just read the word quest

we do a lot of quests

any quests are good with me

PATCHING TWICE?!!?!??!?

Additional Spam:
I'm pretty jazzed for Hero Quest tbh

Y'ALL IS BOJOS

Real talk we looked into it and the rights to City Connection are in some kind of limbo and Jaleco is apparently into fucking real estate these days. So we need to get that Kickstarter going.

any plan for this evening?

Well, it's DENISUXIVERSARY, so the standing plan is SSFIVAE, Balrog/Dudley only. Because an extremely strained "box"ing joke is the best we could do.

If not enough folks have AE (what with it being $30 and all) I have a backup plan that includes the twin Deni passions of putting things in boxes and smug pretensions of intellectual superiority. However, the backup plan depends somewhat on people refraining from dickdoodling, so hopefully we can get our FIGHT LIKE A GENTLEMAN on.

IT IS THE BEST THAT HE DESERVES.

SHADE = FROWNIES

So, next Thursday, back to some variety of Questing I guess depending on turnout, unless anyone objects

Hmmmmm, the version I'm hosting broke too. Turns out it only works for a few minutes before overloading and stopping refreshing. Lemme poke at it and see if I can fix it (don't get your hopes up I've never used this language before) Bug fixed, see next post.


Hey word-putters-together. I noticed that that Babble fridge magnet game is open source, so my extracurricular activity for this evening was to see if the game was irrevocably broken or if it's just that server that's fucked up. Turns out that, on my computer, the page would actually refresh on its own. Hooray!

Not so hooray: having to install a personal copy of the fucking Java runtime on the GFF server so that we can have a functional web version somewhere. Also I have to start and stop the game server manually, so you all have to let me know if it ever goes down so I can restart it.

So anyway, GFF Official Babble Times can now occur here: gamingforce.org:37423

Side benefit to running this game ourselves: I now have access to the word list. So if you all have any suggestions for additions, let me know.

Here are the current contents:

Okay folks, here's the scoop. I did manage to identify and fix the bug, because I'm the best (also because it was a really simple error). I made an issue on the guy's bug tracker and he made my suggested change in literally four minutes. This means that babble.cx now functions properly. Hooray!

So now there isn't really a reason for me to host the game on GFF, unless you all want to go nuts with custom words.

Why would we not want to do that.

For example, the existing wordlist contains no grundles whatsoever

Well, I was thinking that from an effort perspective, the amount of words we'd have to add/remove to make a GFF theme entertaining and not just "the same as the normal version, but once every 10 rounds we get 'grundle' or 'denisux'" may be excessive.

Although maybe if I
