Why not just use Cockatrice?

Octagon is better than cockatrice. WAY better.

Well, I installed it. MTG isn't on the list of games I can download.

General Gaming Talk / MTG EDH night

« on: 03 Dec, 2013 12:03 »

A handful of CG members, including myself have started using a particular progam called OCTGN. It's a very neat platform that allows players to play anything from mtg to Netrunner to chess.

In the past few weeks, I've fallen in love with a particular format called EDH or Commander. It's a game of MTG built towards interaction and interplayer politics between 3 or more players as well as creative deckbuilding.

Each player plays with 100 cards (period), 99 plus their "commander" who can be any legendary creature. Outside of basic monolands, the player can have no cards in his deck of the same name with the exception of cards that explicitly override this limit in their rule and abilities (relentless rats). The player has no limits to what he puts in his deck except for the colours of his commander and the actual banlist.

Games are fun and relatively casual while still maintaining enough depth to be properly competitive.

I was at the xbox one booth in a store today and half of the footage shown was slow and stuttery as shit.

Hah, nice!

Tell me your experience.

Interestingly enough, they had no playtest booths out, just a handful of games were available to buy and a tv to watch trailers on.

I quite easily remember both lastgen consoles putting demo machines in stores as soon as possible.

Nintendo had their new games out though (a mario/luigi rpg on 3ds which had context active combat moves that allowed the players to control the effectiveness of the moves they used, and a zelda game on the wii that I didn't get to play but it looked like wind waker).

Even the games were optimized for Xbox One.

Granted, but you kill someone in the act and feel morally troubled and weighed down with guilt for the rest of your dirty life.

I wish I was good at playing Dota 2

I am already thinking up a name for my Argonian. (Got beta invite too)

All of my Argonians would murder you for those insinuations.

I try and make all my Argonians related with a type of Argonian Nobility.  And ever since ES2 They have all had their names start with F.
Fashnida
Faultos
Fellthorn
Faust
*Just realized I have about 20 Argonian characters on every ES game and it would take too long to get all the names and type it out.(Lazy)*
Hmm maybe Faolan (Little Wolf)

those last three don't really sound very argonian.

GarrysMod / Re: What's your favorite TTT Map?

« on: 13 Nov, 2013 22:41 »

lost temple was the best old map

I really love lost temple just for hanging out above the shoot and murdering AFKs as a T

My favorite maps are ones like rooftops and richland, with wide open areas instead of cramped hallways like one small shamble and 67thway.

I think the best are the ones that have both. Maps that offer the player several different ways and opportunities to pick off enemies are in my opinion usually the most dynamic and interesting maps.
