Title: I am an invincible GOD.
Post by: WindupAtheist on June 05, 2005, 12:22:45 PM
Grim III, my vampire warrior in ZangbandTK, has survived several near-death experiences in recent days and finally dinged 26.  (I damn near shit my pants the other day when I recalled out of a losing battle, only to have my vampire ass land in the middle of town in broad daylight with less than 90 hp left.)  He's been as far down as level 18 of the dungeon, but I keep him mostly to level 17 for now.  I'm telling you, the gods smile upon him.  Someday he shall climb down to level 100 and triumph.  Muahahaha.

Edit for the uninformed:  The game is a hack-and-slash dungeon crawl with permadeath.  Nobody else I had playing managed to crack character level 15.

I've been on something of a Nethack craze lately.  Playing at telnet://nethack.alt.org is fun because you can watch people play and learn things.

As well as drop them mail at inopportune times.  :evil:

I found client/server software for an online multiplayer Angband, but it's the old-school variety with ASCII graphics and no sound.  A pity.  If it had Zangband production values, I'd be all over it.

To get the full experience of rogue type games, you should listen to really bad 80s music while you play.

My favorite Rogue-alike so far is IVAN, but it's almost too easy.

But Rush is an extremely talented band. Their music is very complex...

I'm not saying they're bad, but listen to this. A friend from the city gave it to me.

You don't have any friends in the city...

Shutup and listen.

*cue music*

I could not have gotten this quote more wrong.

"I got this from a guy I know in L.A."

"You know a guy in L.A.?"

"Shhh, now you tell me if this doesn't rock..."

"This isn't anything..."

"just give it a chance..."

"What is it?"

"It's new."

I should have IMDB'd it. I was just too lazy.

That song by the way, was one of the best song choices I've ever heard in a movie...ever.

Eh, IMDB wouldn't have helped, I had to dig out the DVD and play the last scene.

And yeah, Kiss Me Deadly was an awesome choice. That song by itself almost makes up for most of Billy Idol's solo career post "Rebel Yell".
