I've played a bunch of III and V, and a tiny bit of VI. V is extremely similar to III, you should check it out. VI seems pretty similar too, although right now it's incredibly buggy. I feel like I've asked this before, but have you played the WoG mod for III?

Honestly, if you're that confident, then yeah, you'll probably destroy me. I mean, I think I have solid strategies, but I've only ever played two other people extensively IRL.

 

[The Star King]

I'm not actually that confident, was just kidding around. I've actually never played a multiplayer game ROFL. I just lurk some heroes forums and so know some of the strategies used. The only person I've met IRL who plays this game is my mom (wut).

IDK why I've never played against my mom throughout the years. Should probably MM her. I don't think she's touched it since she got a Mac though.

 

[DMoogle]

lol mom

Lurking Heroes forums puts you a step above me. I just go on them if I encounter something that looks like a bug, or for new map recommendations.

But uh, I guess I mostly play a "creeper" style.

@ Cyoonit123,
you live in new york? i recognize that area code ^__^

EDIT: I was thinking of 646.
Disregard this entire post. thanks.

 

[clubbadubba]

OK A$. Prepare to get ****ing destroyed

Too bad games take like a few hours. But we could always play Smash at the same time, playing with a third person when waiting for your opponent to finish his turn

I've only ever played HOMM III and IV (and I didn't really like 4)

dibs on third person playing smash! I don't know what HOMM is, but I'm always down for smash.

 

[M!nt]

For all you know, I could be complaining about a friend's copy.

Isn't that still illegal though, if it's not hows that any different from getting it online.

Heroes of Might and Magic, its a strategy game iirc

Not copying his copy, playing it on his computer.

 

[dandan]

HOMM 2 is by far the best, and if you are not thinking the same way, you are either:
a) too young
b) recuperating from a severe head injury

that is all.

 

[The Star King]

You sound like a Pokemon Gen 1er

Have never played 2 though so can't really comment

 

[DMoogle]

I haven't played HOMM 2, but I've heard good things.

Count me in as a).

Oh yeah, and man am I PUMPED about playing Skyward Sword over break.

 

[ballin4life]

the game I'm really looking forward to is Mass Effect 3. I'm really curious to see how they can integrate the results/choices of the first two games into the conclusion of the story.

[KeroKeroppi]

What on earth is an adaptoid

 

[Glöwworm]

The best you can get.

 

[KeroKeroppi]

Interesting.
Thanks glowworm.

 

[asianaussie]

[TANK64]

Isai said adaptoid! I seen it!

for a long time i've wanted to post some mario party videos - maybe i'll get a chance over winter break!

Yo, I was thinking the same thing lol. Console players are so smart...

Whoa, totally missed you were in the U.S. How long are you going to be in the D.C. area?

 

[dandan]

It is never too late to start, but really, 2 is the best, cannot call you a real fan until you play it

 

[Glöwworm]

Asianaussie, let me know if you're visiting SD.

 

[The Star King]

I highly doubt I'll like it more than III because I got that nostalgia bias. It was the first video game I've ever played.

Besides, if you ever say "too young" as an explanation for people not liking something you love, that pretty much means your opinion is influenced by your precious childhood memories. My mom has played I-V and III is her favorite one, and I trust her judgement.

 

[asianaussie]

san diego i doubt since i don't actually have close relatives there and ive already been to the zoo before :\

ill be in DC for today and tomorrow, if i can borrow my friend's laptop ill get some smash on at some point

im ridic bad at HOMM lol

 

[DtJ Glyphmoney]

Whoa, totally missed you were in the U.S. How long are you going to be in the D.C. area?

Northern VA forever.

 

[The Star King]

You should come over and stay at my house aa. I'm sure my parents won't mind a foreign stranger from the internet stays here. You can come to my high school and be my pet/sidekick/wingman/partner in crime.

 

[DMoogle]

Damn, I'm not going to be back home until Saturday...

 

[asianaussie]

i would stay with you if i wasn't on a goddamn asian travel tour

just went to princeton, i was almost sickened by the fact that i was unconsciously being classfied as an ignorant, camera-happy asian tourist (my marks would've gotten me into princeton fyi, and it's a beautiful campus too so im almost wishing i had applied if it weren't for the lack of medicine course)

they were more interested in the goddamn squirrels than the actual history or architecture or w/e a normal person would try to appreciate

and ill still be in the US for a while (ill have an ok setup on friday)

just got 187 frames with boom in p2p

 

[The Star King]

20 minutes away, and we may never meet in t3h RL. For shame.

187 frames is impressive, almost as bad as Brawl's Wi-fi

 

[asianaussie]

im at the gaithersburg hilton, if you wanna drop by tomorrow night with a 64 ill play a few rounds lol

might be a bit creepy lol

 

[Glöwworm]

Really? I could've sworn you had relatives in SD.

 

[The Star King]

Not happening aa. I was mostly joking. Anyways, being creepy never stopped ME

wat. i'm not sure what marks anyone can get to say that they 100% for sure would've gotten in to princeton.

 

[Glöwworm]

Why would you joke about meeting up with someone to play 64 if you had the chance to? I mean, I guess it's okay if you didn't like that person

 

[asianaussie]

id rather not disclose my marks, but im pretty sure that i could have gone to most places that look at highschool diploma marks as a major criterion

star king is being tsundere

 

[ballin4life]

people with perfect grades get rejected by Princeton/Harvard/other Ivy leagues all the time.

my high school in california had 6 people with 100% perfect grades through high school, but none of them went to Princeton or Harvard (2 went to UCLA and 1 went to UC Berkeley, which are great schools but definitely a step below Harvard/Princeton). Probably almost all of the people with perfect/near-perfect grades applied to Princeton/Harvard and other Ivy League schools and didn't get in.

admissions are just insanely competitive at all the good colleges, and at top places it's about way more than just grades. if you've written a best selling novel or something i'd say you have a good shot at getting in, but even then it's not for sure at all.

 

[asianaussie]

i see

well, perhaps i wouldn't have gotten in, but academics weren't my only achievement at all

my point is that asian tourists piss me off, and princeton is a lovely place

 

[ballin4life]

hearing someone flippantly say "i could have gotten in to princeton" makes me rage because i didn't get in lol

 

[asianaussie]

hmm, my bad then

you'll live

i watched A Beautiful Mind on the plane trip btw
