And there goes my productivity for the next few days while I make my way through this interesting little curiosity.

I hate you for making me chuckle using a pun.

Man, Yahtzee is going to have to find a whole new metaphor for boring RPGs.

spend hours pouring through spreadsheets

I think you mean poring [http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/pore?db=*]. Excel runs poorly on computers that have stuff poured through them.

Wanna bet? [http://www.newegg.com/Water-Liquid-Cooling/SubCategory/ID-575]

I'm guessing this doesn't work in Quattro Pro.

Nope.

True enough, but I've had to assess damage done by failures of liquid cooling and I stand by my original statement.

[Strazdas]

That, is a surprisingly fun game. Reminds me of the hours I spend playing various roguelikes...

Finally, I can put being good at video games on my cv!

Well, hot dang. This makes my roguelike-made-in-M look like small potatoes.

 

[Thaluikhain]

Heh, someone had a lot of time on their hands. OTOH, if you wanted to really learn/show how to use Excel...

This is all well and good, but the real question is how much does this go towards Walkin's Continuing Education requirement.

 

[Olas]

Oh well, it's not like I was really going to get anything done tonight anyway.

 

[Adam Jensen_v1legacy]

Wow. This guy excels in game design.

Sort of.

Just completed this - The difficulty curve was okay although once the encumbrance and shield spells get a few levels up the game becomes very easy. The final boss battle was one of the easiest in the entire game.


Guess I need to have a melee play through..that might be interesting. Either was it's a fun little game and the achievements and story are pretty cool.
