Did I mention that I kind of liked the rhythm games in Steambot Chronicles?

Well, I mean, except that the music was either intolerably bad or hilariously bad.

I came up with a monster: Worm People. They're 1-inch tall, slimy, jet-black human-shaped things. They're incapable of standing up on their own, so they just roll around like little boneless rag-dolls.

And they eat your eyes with their tiny, needle-like teeth.

Is there a "Darwin Day" meme yet? Because really that's a far more appropriate thing to shout right before removing somebody from the gene pool.

...what? That is totally a stray thought.

A nerd dating site. A good one.

I was poking few a few places that call themselves "geek" or "nerd" dating sites, but I don't see any differences between them and anything else you find for lonely people on the internet except a drastically higher BMI.

So I come here today to suggest to you all a dating site that actually works for nerds. It would include all the dating site standards, of course, but the vast majority would be specific to nerdy interests.

Nerd Type:
Specify if you're a weaboo, videogame nerd, tabletop nerd, trekkie, Jedi, comic nerd, furry (I don't care they would flock to a dating site that specifies them) or any mix.

Inside that, you could specify if you're a fighting game nerd, RPG nerd, etc. for each category.

Favorite *:
Listing of favorite shows, games, comics, scenes, items, anything that you think firmly defines the type of nerd you are.

Hated *:
Nerds love to hate things, too. You could specify things that should have a candidate ignored. For instance, if I were on the site I would consider myself an anime nerd, but as everyone here should understand, do not want to be grouped with people that have DearS on their favorite shows list.

tl;dr: Nerds control the internet, why do all their dating sites suck?

I think it has something to do with how no one actually has the balls to use them? I've never felt desperate enough to use any dating site, let alone a "nerd" dating site. I also suspect that a majority of dating sites' (legitimate) clientèle are the sorts of people who use the internet to read news, keep track of what parties they want to attend, and not much else (except porn, obvs.).

I kind of want to do a Let's Play of both Chrono Trigger and Chrono Cross.

In chronological order.

François · « **Reply #348 on:** November 12, 2009, 07:42:36 PM »

So does that mean you start with Cross or Trigger?

Record the entire thing, but stop each clip when you jump through time, and then sequence the clips according to NPC chronology rather than player chronology?

I believe it would go:

Ayla's time > Magus' time > Frog's time > Lucca's mom gets crippled > Crono's time > Serge goes back in time to save Kid > Chrono Cross > 1999 > Robo's time > End of Time

Classic · « **Reply #351 on:** November 13, 2009, 01:32:11 AM »

I take it then that you intend to lose the final battle against Lavos?

Also, I don't think the "end of time" comes chronologically before or after any other event. I think you'd be better off using those segments elsewhere.

Disposable Ninja · « **Reply #352 on:** November 13, 2009, 01:35:40 AM »

TIME PARADOX! If I lose to Lavos and keep the future from changing then Chronopolis won't come into existence and that'll just fuck everything up.

Classic · « **Reply #353 on:** November 13, 2009, 04:13:36 AM »

Eh? 2300AD != Robo's Time???

I was just thinking about how to do a survival horror RPG with random encounters.

The actual encounters wouldn't be turned based, per se. They're be more formless, like Valkyrie Profile 2. You can walk around as much as you want, but every time you take a step, so can the enemy. The battlefield would be shrouded in a thick darkness, so half the fight would involve actually figuring out where the enemy is while trying to stay hidden yourself.

Random encounters would flow seamlessly from and into the actual field, you may not even realize you walked into one until it would be too late. There'd be indicators, though; the aforementioned darkness would grow deeper the further you went in, your character would get headaches, the walls might start bleeding, and so on.

I've done some survival campaigns. My favorite was this city was infested with the undead. And basically each session was one long encounter. Hordes of undead everywhere, easy to kill but endless. The basically had to go from safehouse to safe house and try to help people just survive.

It was fun watching everyone constantly check to see what they could use and could not without resting first, as sleeping was something they couldn't just do. If they tried to take a five-minute rest after a battle, a zombie or something would wander up. It was pretty fun for everyone. A lot of item and spell management, though...

So this isn't a game idea, rather than a gaming website idea. I was kinda inspired while thinking about our "Babble about a video game" topic, and the idea of a community blog which this board has more or less become.

The idea is that anyone can make an account and post their babbles about a game. Each time you post, you choose the game you're posting about from the comprehensive list of new and old games, and you write a 1-2 paragraph babble about it. Your account page will have a list of every post you've made. People can comment on individual posts like any blog.

If you're on the page to read other's posts, you can find whatever you want through the database search. You can list all babbles from a particular game, a particular system, a particular user, or just get them randomly. If you like a user's posts, you can rate them up and give them reputation. The highest rated users will have their babbles featured on the front page. You can "follow" any user like a Twitter account, and have their feeds sent to your main page.

So this is basically like the 1up blogs, but each post is indexed by the game it talks about, and you don't have to go to 1up.com.

I had a video game dream. It was a massive, Shadow of the Colossus / Metroidvania / Legend of Zelda-styled game. The player character, Notlink, was wandering through a great desert littered with the bleached skeletons of giants when he happened across a massive stone angel in the sky that fired lasers from his eyes.

To beat the angel, you needed wings of your own. First thing's first, the only place you could avoid his eye lasers is on the back of his head. Then, while he was recharging, you'd attack his weak points: blood-filled pustules scattered across his arms. And you'd need to be quick, too, not just to avoid his laser eyes but because he would obvious start swatting at you like you were a mosquito.

I don't remember what happens after that.

I've sort of had a loose idea rumbling around for a while about making an MMO jungle combat game. I'm not sure whether the setting would be contemporary, science fictiony or maybe something like a WW2 sort of setting. Whatever it was though, it would be a fictious setting, possibly with multiple humanoid races and everyone's gear and uniforms would be just inspired by real military equipment.

Players would be small recon teams fighting for a larger army and might be mercenaries rather than regular forces so that the choice of which big army your are fighting for could be more fluid and up to the players.

Things could be very persistant or more instance based, but the general idea is that you would get recon style missions where your smaller squad would have to do things with the intention of giving the much larger main army some sort of advantage or support in their campaign. So it would be stuff like scouting, sabotage, rescue of prisoners, etc. But whatever you were doing, there would always be the threat of the enemy. You are in the middle of a war and so while you may have intel of where the main enemy force in the area is depending on the mission, running across enemy patrols or even other merc squads is always a danger. The areas in the game would be very large and rugged and so spotting the enemy before they see you or avoiding detection would be just as big a part of the game as actual combat would be.

There would be mulitple classes that the player could choose to be or perhaps just work towards in a system where putting points into certain abilities/perks leads to unlocking further abilities and then before you know it your character is designated as a scout with appropriate uniform and gear options where as buddy #1 is a sapper, buddy #2 is a grenadier, and buddy #3 is a gunner.

Is this an Avatar MMORPG?

This really sounds like it's going to be an Avatar MMORPG.
