    Human Resources: Let's Bring Apocalypse!!!

    Was hoping for a game about updating employee contracts in response to changing employment law, implementing and upholding policy and assisting management in resolving disputes with staff. Frankly this is a massive disappointment; there isn't even a minigame where you deal with the unions over...

    "Undateable"

    Hah, made me think of the show Undateable: I guess the only way to be truly undateable is to be some manner of toxic individual who is both emotionally unavailable and too obnoxious to trick other people into liking them.

    The FTL cloning question

    I think I'd just start serving all my meals in a bucket. Gluttony ftw! Other than that I wouldn't change anything as I suffer from afraids.

    Warhammer 40k: Where did the beastmen go?

    I think it came down to sales and a certain degree of streamlining. Back in the day of the original Rouge Trader you could have impy guard on jetbikes fighting orks armed with shuriken catapults. As time went on the models for the different armies became more thematic and the rules were...

    Poll: Fish. Battered, Crumbed, Seared or other?

    I'm er, I'm typically more a land meat kind of guy but there is something special about batter.

    What Has Your Week Consisted Of? A helpful Distraction.

    Partied on the weekend, rested on the Monday, cleaned my apartment on the Tuesday, spent the rest of the week worrying I've given myself brain damage* and working. * - I didn't, I just got out of a chair too quickly. The day after tomorrow I am going to learn about washing machines. It is...

    What's with the Tau's reputation?

    I never really understood the negativity around the Tau in gaming terms. When I played against them in 3rd ed they never seemed particularly OP, no more so than Eldar. Thinking back, there was a lot of similarity between the Tau and the Lizardmen from fantasy: their units were all strong in...

    How come people who commit suicide are considered cowards, unless someone famous does it?

    Of course suicide is cowardly and selfish. Depressed people know how cowardly, selfish and shitty they are, that's why they want to commit suicide. It's ironic really; theoretically the best way to stop being depressed is to form relationships and foster a stable, loving, home but then...

    Need some Dark Souls advice.

    unlucky, mate. I have to say that I never cared for the b.knight sword as the power moves take to long to start so you're probably best sticking with the claymore.

    I'm Bored?Let's (Actually) make a game!!!!!

    Excellent point. I'd also be interested in doing some voice acting but my microphone is laughably antiquated and terrible so I'd have to physically attend another person's home to record stuff so I don't know how practical that would be.

    I'm Bored?Let's (Actually) make a game!!!!!

    I don't have sound on this computer, am I right in assuming that they're basically doing the mario-kart thing I mentioned? This is just like the time I told a friend about an idea for a story and he told it was basically Metropolis. Your idea sounds pretty rad though, like a better version...

    I think thoughtful_salt wants to do the music. How do you feel about sampling sound effects? We're going to need someone who can code. Do you know anyone? We could also do with someone who is familiar with the growing of vegetables. A country type of some sort.

    I'm Bored?Let's (Actually) make a game!!!!!

    A hex-based, turn-based, space-themed, strategy game where the player takes the role of a magical gardener who grows ships like vegetables against a variety of technological enemies. The research tree is an actual tree and players access new units and technology by splicing different plants...

    I'm Bored?Let's (Actually) make a game!!!!!

    Nobody seems to make 2D scrolling beat em' ups anymore and those that are out there seem to be all about combos. Basically just remake Final Fight but add the ability to block. For a fresh angle on the genre the game should be set in Rotterdam. It is imperative that the "muscle" character...

    I'm Bored?Let's (Actually) make a game!!!!!

    How about a mario-kart, style game for PC where the racers are magical gardeners who grow their cars like vegetables and between rounds you can grow a new kind of vehicle by cross-breeding different strains of plant-car as well as using different grow methods to influence stats. This could take...
