Schilling's Green Monster Games

[ahoythematey]

You should put Incognito Mosquito on the case, he'd find the culprit quickly!

[Montague]

Combat Chess?

[Signe]

What is wrong with that shiny girls bottom?

[Lantyssa]

Well my first love and probably funnest memories are with Wizardry. Was and always will be the one that hooked me forever.

The Wizardry series was one of my favorites and is what I blame for hooking me on CRPGs.

What is wrong with that shiny girls bottom?

I have to agree, it's a rather odd place to have a purple dyed moustache.

[Aez]

That is not it. I have not seen it yet but I remember the graphics being far 'cleaner' than this an prettier. It was much more high fantasy too. I am killing myself trying to find it and when I see it the 'high fantasy' part will become obvious...

GoogleFoo :

It's infact Archon, just an updated version : Archon Ultra

Ya it was, if memory serves me right, far more polished visually than that. Worst part is my memory might not be serving me well, but I know I have not seen it posted yet and cannot find it. It was a PC game and it was back in the day I know I had to swap games on my hard drive due to lack of space.

We always look at old games in the minds-eye through rose-colored glasses. Heck that's not just limited to games. My wife bought me the Land Of The Lost DVD box set and I was shocked that I watched that crap. Grumpy didn't even have an esophagus FFS!

[Signe]

Was it that one that you could change to different looks?  I kind of sort of almost remember that one.

At what point is it fair to say that Curt is just fucking with us?

I'm onto you Schilling!

[gehrig38]

I really do wish I was that quick outside the clubhouse....

[Aez]

Your memory must be failling you.  I highly doubt there's more than one chess game where sorceress summon water elemental on the board...

This.

I remember some old Commodore 64, Tandy 1000, and even Intellivision games as having good graphics, because back then....well, they were.

[Margalis]

That's an air elemental. 

[naum]

[Signe]

Is that a Disney chess set?  It's awfully cute!

[Triforcer]

Its nothing compared to a chess set that graphically shows us the decadence of capitalism.

[Trippy]

Is that a Disney chess set?  It's awfully cute!

It's from the game series Kingdom Hearts which combined Disney characters with SquareSoft (Final Fantasy) characters.

[gehrig38]

I still have not seen it, nor found it and when I do I'll keel over.

[Signe]

Oh great.  So whoever figures it out and posts it is responsible for the keeling over of a beloved sports legend or something.  Shit. 

[Nebu]

Knowing how rabid some baseball fans can be, that may be incentive enough. 

[Signe]

I keel over sometimes.  It's really not so bad.

[Murgos]

Is it more when you tack or when you warp?

Man I hear that. I occasionally need to remind myself how not awesome Ultima III was on my Apple //e hooked up to the 15" TV we used for color

If any of you folks have tried the old version of the Azeroth Advisor in the past I wanted to let you know we have soft launched the revamped product. We are working to complete much of the behind the scenes stuff but anyone that is a current or former customer you can now get the new updated version.

The bigger point though, is that the product and the service is now free.

We worked hard to create a revenue generating product in conjunction with Blizzard but at the end of the day we could not do it.

Knowing we wanted to provide this service, we made the decision to eat the expense and forego a revenue model. For a start up this was not the easiest decision, but it's the right one.

So if you click on this link http://www.azerothadvisor.com/ you can see what we've been up to 'on the side'. We brought in the company that created this product, one person as an investor and the rest of the team as the developers and purveyors of the product and service itself.

[Merusk]

Azeroth advisor? Never heard of it... and can't get to the link here at work. 

Hrm.

You get what you pay for? 


EDIT: Oh shit, that news letter is sweet. Nice, make one for War now please. =)

[Signe]

That is very cool.  It makes me wish I played!

[gehrig38]

Stay tuned if you don't play WoW...
We'll likely or hopefully be coming to the game of your liking soon:)

Don't be a tease. Also, slight criticism, I like the content of the "news letter" but the art needs help.... (Frames border, "Paper" its on)

[gehrig38]

Not sure what you mean. Runs fine on mine, on both Firefox and Explorer...

[Signe]

Hehe.  Right now, because of some naff boo boo hand of mine, I'm playing Wizard 101.  I don't think it's gonna happen!  But eventually, when all is better, I will be playing something more age appropriate!  

[Mrbloodworth]

Oh, not what i mean, i'm talking visuals. Like i said, slight criticism. I did like how it changed with the class. But it looks a little "home spun anglefire" to me.

[Ingmar]

I think it looks fine, and it is an interesting idea and could probably be turned into something useful.

Content, I'm not so sure about right now, but I am probably too far down the poopsock continuum to be the target audience. The text has a lot of filler in it. Statements like "With the ability to reduce opponents attack power by 300 at Rank 7, DS still remains popular with tanks and still works well in large scuffles in battlegrounds, raids, and instances" don't really tell anyone anything useful and just seem to be there to fill space.

Also it needs a little work on the Armory parsing. I signed up as my warrior to see what I got, and it told me this: "It seems you are getting quite popular amongst the Scryers. Among other things, that means you can now buy Plans: Enchanted Adamantite Belt." Unfortunately I am exalted with The Aldor and as hated as you can be by the Scryers...

[cevik]

Yeah, uhm, the newsletter congratulated me on hitting level 70 and welcomed me to the endgame.  It recommended I try out some "heroic" instances and if I got enough friends together I could even try Karazhan.

I'm in all purples mostly from ZA and above.
