Indie sci-fi roguelike. Extremely addictive, came out like month ago, been playing since. 3 classes, 4 difficulty levels, everything is randomized, so it's a different struggle each time. As far as I know there are like 3 guys who have beaten the game on insane. The guys who made this update it like every week with new items, monsters, crafting recipes and tweaks. Good part of the new content comes from their suggestion forum, so you can add your part to the game if you're clever. And it's only 10$ on Steam, so what are you waiting for, join the fun! Discuss, play, adore!

We can't explain the universe, just describe it; and we don't know whether our theories are true, we just know they're not wrong. >Harald Lesch

FTL is great. And with $2 on steam it's a real steal. Playing it this moment. :)

I actually gave up on it after hours of trying to get that fucking Crystal Cruiser.

I had basically resorted to playing it on mute and just doing multiple runs clicking through (at this point I had encountered every possible encounter) while watching some TV show on the side. After the upteenth fail at acquiring this ship I just gave up.

Kinda stupid how ridiculously rare it is. Hmmm... wonder if they have patched to make it more common...

Oh and while we're on the topic of recommending games to each other I have to give a massive recommendation to PRIMORDIA - a point and click RPG with incredible voice acting and storyline about a post apocalyptic world where all the humans are dead any only their creation - the machines - roam the earth. Here is me streaming a playthrough: http://www.twitch.tv/ohmantfe/b/386056369

Very enjoyable point and click adventure game. Anyone whom liked old days with monkey island or newer gamers would really enjoy it. Nice voice actors in it and good story plot as well funny moments. ^_^ a good buy.

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:
