It's actually more of a turn-based game, at least in the ground missions. And even above ground, you can change the passing of time to make it pretty much the same. At 5 sec intervals very little happens and you can take you time to figure out your next move, then ratchet up the time to 1Day and see things fly by. So the whole game feels turn-based to me.
I haven't looked at them closely in a while, but the old one is from 2000 and the newer one from 2004. So whatever was common in those years. Neither were super gaming rigs in their time, just decent. I've gotten all my computers from Dell since 2000. I hear a lot of complaints, but I've had really good luck with them. I switched to laptops around 2006 or 7.
I was going over all these ideas and then I got fed up and so I'm just going to report on whatever went on that day - daily journal I guess it'll be... I don't know though. I got this great idea involving backloggery. I may do that instead, but it could be hard to pull off. More I think about it though, the more excited I get. So I may do it.
Were you CaterpillarMan at some point? I always wanted to ask that.
Yea, I stopped playing during the RTS segments which I just couldn't manage. I'd love to go back to it and figure it out though. I want to see the end of the game.
The album is a concept. Something about the government unleashing a plague that turns people into zombies who then attack everyone. The heroes are this resistance movement that has to fend off the government and the zombies. I was watching the making of vid on the extra DVD last night and that's how it was explained. There's lots more of the zombie hoard art on the inside, back and all over the lyric book... oh and on the CD and DVD.
That's the brainwashing line. Repeat it over and over again and subconsciously you start becoming their slave. I like to subvert catch phrases like that with silly associations. Like what if you spelled Greatness as Grateness, which isn't a word but it conjures the Grateful Dead or the largest "grate" you've ever seen. See, I've totally forgot about Playstation games. Darn, I really want that Afrika game on PS3.
I got into Slayer from Vice City (got the box set for that soundtrack) and Soundgarden from Road Rash on PS1 (that whole soundtrack is killer).
Nevermore I've probably heard before but I'll keep my ears open for another go.
I just put it on my Wish List at Backloggery.
Yea, issue one was out this week and I almost picked it up. None of the writers or artists are familiar to me, but I loved the cover. Maybe if next week is slow, I'll pick it up and see if it's good.
