Re: Is this thing on...
MoO 2: Love it. One of my favorite games.
Disciples 2: Love it.
FF 3/6: Never played any FF.
Civ 2: Love it, although I prefer 4 and 5.
Doom 3: played only a little, looking forward to trying it with the Oculus Rift.
Thief 1 & 2 (3 was a serious letdown): Never tried it, I'll stay away from 3. (3rd syndrome?)
Dishonored (both routes, it seems a seminal work to me): Haven't tried it yet.
Terraria: Haven't tried it.
Minecraft (yes both, they're very different in more than just visual fidelity): Have it, played very little.
Legend of Grimrock: Have it, have yet to try it.
Rez: Haven't tried it.
Penumbra (or Amnesia, but Penumbra worked better for me): Have amensia, and haven't yet tried penumbra.
Hero's Quest (Quest for Glory) 1&2 (the original CLI; none of this fancy mouse interface business!): Some great memories. I remember having to type in all my commands.

Re: Is this thing on...
Prioritize Thief, if you can get it to work with Rift that'd probably be 9 kinds of awesome (it's a mission based 1st person sneaker). I don't think it's 3rd syndrome, but it might be. In short, it got thrown to a different studio and they completely changed the format to a hub based 1st person sneaker. It doesn't sound like much of a change (and the graphics are a big improvement) but it completely changed the texture of the game for me. There's a 4 coming out at some point, but I'll probably wait until it's $5 based on the 3rd game unless the reviews are uber-stellar.
Play FF for the story, not for the game.
Terraria is a distinct experience from Minecraft despite very similar basic mechanics.
Rez might be hard to get to; it's an old PS2 game.

Re: Is this thing on...
Provided that I don't have a PS2, Rez might be harder. I suppose I could get an emulator.
Alright, I'll keep Theif in mind. And the third in the series developed by a new studio sounds classic 3rd syndrome.
So, for Disciples 2, which race do you like playing?

Re: Is this thing on...
Well, true. Most of the gameplay is the same (some new interface tricks and new tools I think, but otherwise you could drop the missions right in). But the change to a hub format was.. just... ugh.
DII - Typically Legions or Empire. Occasionally Horde, but never Clans.
I prefer Legions against human players.

Re: Is this thing on...
I'm a big Empire player myself.
How about MoO2.
What's your favorite race?
If you do custom, how do you generally build it and which picture do you choose?

Re: Is this thing on...
Typically I customize for research. I haven't played in a while, but from memory Creative, a research bonus, and... large homeworld I think?
I tend to select the avatar randomly, but there may be a bias to Psilon.
I always end up being a slow starter, but that's pretty well given with that kind of build. I don't do well in small, crowded galaxies >.>

Re: Is this thing on...
I do the same. I roll for huge galaxies. I like my games long and my conquest absolute.
I generally build Creative and either Democracy or Unification. I put negatives in spy and ground combat.

Re: Is this thing on...
Same here. Except I don't want to cripple my spies; can't stand it when someone steals Core Waste Dumps from me. Or worse, Phasing Cloaks.

Haven't played it much; just HR for about 15 minutes. It's on 'the list'

Re: Is this thing on...
That word has never meant anything else to me. Despite being in college before Starcraft came out

Re: Is this thing on...
I don't remember much of the other races in D2 (it'd come back to me, I suppose), but for Empire:
Single target or group heal?
Angel, Defender or Avenger?

Re: Is this thing on...
Typically single target heal and Defender.
There are a lot more ways to die than there are ways to get status effects that cure could work on.
As for Defender; it's a lot easier to go capital hunting with built-in armor >:D
