Going to have to think about that. I currently don't have the time to write such a post, but I will answer that before the weekend is over (will be out for most of tomorrow, so probably Sunday).Sstavix wrote:Mind if I ask why?

Interesting. Thanks for letting me know!Chozon1 wrote:Destiny is much more world and atmosphere focused, and more of an RPG than a straight up FPS run-and-gun experience. It tells a nice story, but it's more about putting the player into the world and letting them become a Guardian rather than "Here's the story; beat it? You're done". It's also not an A-B game. It plays much more like Diablo, or even a lesser Borderlands. The weapons and armor work like an RPG, that you can buy them or find them, and your character levels up on a skill tree, with three modes for each class. So...RPG with FPS combat? It's still very much an FPS, but it's also very much more.Sstavix wrote:So what makes Destiny different from the glut of cookie-cutter FPS games out there? What features or qualities makes it stand out from all the rest? (I'm not trying to knock it - as someone who couldn't tell you the difference between Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, or Halo, I'm genuinely curious.)
I've got no complaints, really. Well. I don't like the expansion essentially nullifying those of us who didn't buy it. But I'm not annoyed enough to swear off the game.
It has been a long, long time since I've done anything like that. If I recall correctly, it's much easier if you punch the holes in advance.Chozon1 wrote:Sewing leather?

No. I think I just need a nap. And maybe a 20 minute crying session. C'est la vie. Thanks though.Sstavix wrote:... is this related to sewing leather? Or is there something going on that you'd like to talk about? Need any help or comforting?
That looks interesting! Almost like an open-sandbox spin on Myst. At least from the trailer. I'll have to look at it a bit more.Emwok wrote: MIND: Path to Thalamus?
Depends on what you're trying to do. Are you preparing for NaNo? An outline can be good, but personally I find a good character synopsis to be more effective. Which reminds me, I need to get that done pretty soon....Chozon1 wrote:
Writing outlines, or no writing outline?
It's a good tactic to use. Especially when you need to use a character again and don't want to dig through several chapters to find that one-sentence obscure reference to remember the character's name.Chozon1 wrote:I'm toying with the idea of trying NaNoWriMo, but I haven't decided yet. I wrote an outline up for a story yesterday, and the first few pages, since I didn't want to forget what I'd come up with. Character synopsis sounds like it'd be handy too, though.

) I sort of feel the same way. I just sort of get this weird feeling on Halloween and I really don't like it. However, I do like that it gives us an excuse to get extra candy.Sstavix wrote:"Ween?"Chozon1 wrote:'Ween times?
Ah! You must mean "Halloween!" Sorry - my eldest daughter in entering her "tweenage" years, so I got confused.... (Actually, I think she's been there for a while....)
Halloween actually is my least favorite holiday. It encourages children to dress up as evil creatures, wander around strangers' neighborhoods at night, and beg for candy. Frankly, I can see why some Christian families try to avoid it altogether. At times, it does seem like - at least in this country - a glorification of evil.
That being said, we still do take our kids trick-or-treating. But we tend to have some pretty strict rules about it (e.g. no scary costumes, you always go with a parent nearby, and I get all the peanut candies.
It's OK, as far as video game music goes. But then again, there are very few video game soundtracks that I listen to outside the context of the game itself. The music often provides a great ambiance for the game, but not so much real life.Emwok wrote:

Ah, OK. Still, it's all right. Have you played Savant? I have it in my Humble Bundle library, but I've never played it..Emwok wrote:It's actually not a game soundtrack, but he did put it in his game a while after he wrote it.
