    2. @nerthos Hi nerthos! How are you?

      Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:30:34 UTC from web
      1. @hakupony Good, waiting until I have to do something. You?

        Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:31:41 UTC from web
        1. @nerthos Good, glad to have everything necessary done for today :)

          Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:32:32 UTC from web
    3. @nerthos hello!

      Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:32:38 UTC from web
      1. @rarity Hi there :D

        Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:32:58 UTC from web
        1. @nerthos how goes it pony?

          Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:33:24 UTC from web
          1. @rarity Good. Trying to spend some time here, because if I start playing AoE3, I'll be there all day.

            Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:34:27 UTC from web
            1. @nerthos Is it that good?

              Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:35:25 UTC from web
              1. @hakupony AoE2 is the best of the saga, but AoE3 is really good too. I'm just addicted to games. Strategy games and RPGs are the worst for me xD I can play all day.

                Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:37:17 UTC from web
                1. @nerthos I also am a Fan of AoE2, but I hear AoE3 wasn't good, so I didn't buy it 'till now.

                  Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:38:07 UTC from web
                  1. @hakupony It has a completely different gameplay style, and it's campaign is not history related, but it's really fun too.

                    Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:39:44 UTC from web
                    1. @nerthos The campaign of Age of Empires 3 is not history related? What has the world come to?

                      Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:41:55 UTC from web
                      1. @hakupony It's about the myth of the fountain of youth in the new world, a knight who travels to America following a guy who attacked his fort, and his descendant's war aganist a sect.

                        Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:44:34 UTC from web
                        1. @nerthos I will give it a try when I run out of games.

                          Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:45:31 UTC from web
                          1. @hakupony It's hard to get used to, but it's worth it.

                            Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:46:38 UTC from web
                2. @nerthos I can agree to this post. Tried AoE Online? Pretty much a mix between AoE 2 and 3, but there's a huge amount of stuff you have to do before you're able to really play it normally (or you could buy Skirmish hall BUT YEAH)

                  Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:38:38 UTC from web
                  1. @anubins Never played it. I'm trying to win AoE3 for the first time, since the last time I played I uninstalled it at the 3rd chapter due to lack of disk space years ago, and now I have both expansions xD Should I try it?

                    Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:41:10 UTC from web
                    1. @nerthos I'd definitely recommend it. Buying the "pro" Civs in Online is akin to buying AoE II or III, so I mind it less. You can still pretty much do anything without Pro stuff though, it's largely cosmetic. Most important thing to considering buying is the Skirmish Hall, because, y'know. Skirmishes are really fun

                      Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:47:35 UTC from web
                      1. @anubins Oh well. If I find the DVD cheap somewhere I'll buy it xD

                        Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:51:41 UTC from web
                        1. @nerthos Doubt you can, but I know the base stuff is on Steam for free

                          Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:52:36 UTC from web
                          1. @anubins Steam? Oh well. There goes all hope of downloading it. Bye bye hope! (I hate Steam SO much)

                            Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:53:31 UTC from web
                            1. @nerthos and I thought /I/ had the minority opinions

                              Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:53:59 UTC from web
                              1. @anubins It's just that I can't stand that whole "You must open the game from here, play running this hideous program, and you can't do anything with the game files; oh, and don't forget to pay for something without a physical copy"

                                Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:55:45 UTC from web
                                1. @nerthos @anubins Dang! Personally I play AoE 2 and 3 :D

                                  Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 17:02:06 UTC from web
                                  1. @dlcentaur I finished AoE1, probably the expansion too, AoE2, Conquerors, and I'm currently playing AoE3, with both expansions ready to install.

                                    Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 17:03:35 UTC from web
                                    1. @nerthos I have no expansions :( I want to see if I can eventually get them on Steam. I'm tight on money right now, and the first thing I want to buy is a Brony Hoodie or T-shirt

                                      Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 17:05:21 UTC from web
                                      1. @dlcentaur Download them.

                                        Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 17:06:16 UTC from web
                                        1. @nerthos There are quite a few issues with that. I used the key code for my old computer. My computer got overloaded with viruses and we had to wipe it. Soooo, the key won't work anymore, and I can't do ANYTHING online with AoE3 :( I'll just wait 'til I can get 'em on Steam ;P

                                          Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 17:09:24 UTC from web
                                          1. @dlcentaur I think there's an article on the microsoft page about recovering keys to play in a new computer.

                                            Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 17:10:33 UTC from web
                                            1. @nerthos Hmm, I might just look into that, thanks.

                                              Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 17:11:18 UTC from web
                                              1. @dlcentaur No problem.

                                                Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 17:11:47 UTC from web
                                2. @nerthos http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxm91vPcTa1qi4j1oo1_r2_500.gif

                                  Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 17:08:22 UTC from web
                                  1. @anubins Another game I should play. Sadly, it's onsole only.

                                    Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 17:11:03 UTC from web
                                    1. @nerthos Amazing, though. Huge Uncharted fan here

                                      Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 17:12:23 UTC from web
                                      1. @anubins I always hear good things about it, but I have way too many consoles and I never play on them. Buying a PS3 would be idiocy for me. And I would have to download the games, copy them to the HDD, and lots of stuff like that.

                                        Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 17:14:02 UTC from web
                            2. @nerthos http://ageofempiresonline.com/en/ besides, there's always the non-Steam version

                              Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:54:43 UTC from web
                              1. @anubins I'll give it a try, thanks!

                                Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:56:00 UTC from web
                              2. @anubins NO WAY!!! I LOVE AoE! Which do you play 1, 2, 3, or the in between games?

                                Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:56:31 UTC from web
                                1. @dlcentaur All including the Star Wars Battleground series

                                  Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:59:36 UTC from web
                3. @nerthos I used to listen to AoE 2 in game music when I couldn't play it. Then I just imagined what was happening and all. AoE 2 is the best.

                  Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:39:30 UTC from StatusNet iPhone
                  1. @renovatedkitchen That game was my childhood. Hundreds of hours of play.

                    Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:42:48 UTC from web
                    1. @nerthos I know, eh? I always loved massing defenses.

                      Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:45:05 UTC from StatusNet iPhone
                      1. @renovatedkitchen Double fortified wall, and lots of towers. One of the arrow ones, one of the cannon ones, covering all the wall.

                        Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:46:21 UTC from web
                        1. @nerthos And after that some castles just to destroy all remaining hope in your Enemies...

                          Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:47:21 UTC from web
                          1. @hakupony Yup. I never used too many castles because they're easy to destroy with trebuchets.

                            Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:49:27 UTC from web
                        2. @nerthos lol. Yup! ^_^ and then I got smart and put some trebuchet's in the odd place, incase they got one against me.

                          Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:49:22 UTC from StatusNet iPhone
                          1. @renovatedkitchen My strategy is easy. Five trebuchets, twenty elite teutonic knights, and twenty mounted archers.

                            Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:52:55 UTC from web
                            1. @nerthos I also liked leaving a couple tutonic knights in front as scouts. Partly too lazy to wait for them to retreat, and also because they could do quite a number on the enemy forces.

                              Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:55:38 UTC from StatusNet iPhone
                              1. @renovatedkitchen They have more defense and attack than most the units in the game. Twenty of them can face almost anything and leave in good condition. If you have ten monks to heal them between battles, they're almost invincible.

                                Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:58:26 UTC from web
                                1. @nerthos ya. I'd usually bring out a monk after a while. They really are pure tanks. Also, ever played red alert?

                                  Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 17:00:18 UTC from StatusNet iPhone
                                  1. @renovatedkitchen Only Red Alert 2, but never finished it. That game was hard compared to other games of the genre.

                                    Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 17:01:23 UTC from web
                                    1. @nerthos Mhm. Red Alert 2 was the good one. Loved yuri's revenge. Yuri's team is so cheap.

                                      Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 17:02:48 UTC from StatusNet iPhone
                                      1. @renovatedkitchen Yuri is awesome. I always played soviet. Dual guned tanks FTW.

                                        Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 17:04:05 UTC from web
                                        1. @nerthos oh, the appocolypse? Ya. Once it was 3 times up'd, it is invincible. And the Kirov's. Take 2-3 and you just destroyed their base. Or, as Yuri, make a bunch of flying disc's, and mass engineers. Take out their power, have another couple pull agro, send in engineers, take over base.

                                          Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 17:08:04 UTC from StatusNet iPhone
                                          1. @renovatedkitchen Soviets are best faction.

                                            Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 17:09:35 UTC from web
                                            1. @nerthos nuclear reactor. That should be enough to cover it. :)

                                              Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 17:11:45 UTC from StatusNet iPhone
                                              1. @renovatedkitchen Cloning building. So much win.

                                                Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 17:12:26 UTC from web
                                                1. @nerthos Yup ^_^. Double Yuri then too!

                                                  Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 17:13:34 UTC from StatusNet iPhone
                                                  1. @renovatedkitchen I remember when I first tried to use Iron Curtain, without knowing what it did. I used it on a platoon of Tesla soldiers. I think you know what happened.

                                                    Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 17:15:02 UTC from web
                                                    1. @nerthos lol. They died as heroes. I always saved it for their super weapon attacks.

                                                      Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 17:16:36 UTC from StatusNet iPhone
                                                      1. @renovatedkitchen I loved to cast it on a couple Apocalypse tanks and rush the enemy base.

                                                        Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 17:22:42 UTC from web
                                                        1. @nerthos that is a good idea, but I usually liked taking my time. Then at the end, it's like butter wiping them. Horrible tactics.

                                                          Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 17:25:34 UTC from StatusNet iPhone
            2. @nerthos Game absorption is a common malady among ponies, I feel your pain.

              Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:37:03 UTC from web
              1. @rarity Yes, games are just too good a distraction T.T

                Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:37:53 UTC from web
    4. @nerthos Hi!

      Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:32:51 UTC from StatusNet iPhone
      1. @renovatedkitchen Hi :D how're you doing?

        Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:33:28 UTC from web
        1. @nerthos doing well thanks. And you?

          Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:36:24 UTC from StatusNet iPhone
          1. @renovatedkitchen Good too. Trying not to start playing games again xD

            Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:37:37 UTC from web
            1. @nerthos played mass effect 3?

              Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:41:02 UTC from StatusNet iPhone
              1. @renovatedkitchen Not yet. Mass Effect is one of the sagas I have in my "must play" list.

                Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:43:16 UTC from web
                1. @nerthos It was in mine too, then I played it. It's AMAZING!!!! I highly, highly, highly, highly, highly recommend it.

                  Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:46:17 UTC from StatusNet iPhone
                  1. @renovatedkitchen I have to finish AoE3, Fallout 3's DLC, Dragon Age Origins, Men of War: Red Tide, GTAIV and Skyrim. Once I finish half of them I'll download Mass Effect 1.

                    Tuesday, 24-Apr-12 16:47:54 UTC from web

                      1. @hakupony I almost finished it xD I only have to do the shale questline, kill flemeth, and fight the Denerim Battle.

                    3. @nerthos ah. That's quite a list. Usually I'll download a game, try it out and if I like it, I go buy it. Because what I usually do it play it for a little, then forget about it. But Mass Effect was totally un putdownable!

                        1. @nerthos I wish I could finish more games. The only ones I actually play anymore are the ME series, and Forza. Want to get back to CS:S, Halo and such.

                          1. @renovatedkitchen Sometimes I drop a game due to a particularly boring stage or something, but after a while I always return and finish it.
