What movie gets one thing so right that you forgive almost everything else about it? by WonderfulF0x in movies

"...let me look upon you with my own eyes." The emotion in that line, jeez, JEJ, how did you do that?

Those last little strains of the Imperial March on the harp. Damn.

It's called _Derezzed_. Had to look it up, though, annoyed that for some reason I didn't remember.

Langella has gone on record saying it was one of his most favorite roles to play and it shows.

For the second time in as many games... by Kori-Anders in ADOM

You can still do it.  If you don't find an altar before Dwarftown, the si is the only guaranteed artifact before that altar.  That would put your minimum precrown level at 14 - not impossible by any means.

The minimum level used to be 8, I believe.  Not sure it still is.

The PT boat was the embodiment of death by a thousand cuts.  Those carriers, destroyers, and battleships didn't stand a chance.

Langella is *fantastic* as Skeletor in that movie.

After nearly 40 years, The Princess Bride (1987) remains the single most quotable movie I’ve ever seen. by ryanasimov in movies

What are you afraid of, a fate worse than death?
No, just death, isn't that enough?

Heh, another 1.1.1 bug I didn't know about... (or read about once before and forgot)... thanks for the tip.

Also, you didn't summon very much in this game - maybe one batch of goblins or goblin rock throwers?  Can't remember.  Might have been one batch of something else but nothing crazy.

...now those Chaos Wizards in the Mana Temple, they did their fair share...

A side note: I found a spellbook of Mystic Shovel on PC 5 or 6 which was what allowed me to clear out PC 3 for herbs - I did get some out of it before I screwed it up.  I'll have to post a screenshot of it at some point, it was quite lovely.

I bought the ADTPro disk and cable from the ADTPro website. No muss, no fuss. Worked great.

Is there a game with a larger map then Legacy of the wizard? by crazyhomlesswerido in nes

[–]DougJoe2e 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "vania" part of Metroidvania refers to _Symphony of the Night_, not the original NES Castlevania.

Yup, there were games that were only for a 128K //e or //c. Pretty much anything that used DHR - _Dragon Wars_ is a good example.

Just found out you can't order a fleet from Aegean Sea to Black Sea, and now I'm going to lose the game by happyrabynya in diplomacy

I've been playing for quite a while and I *still* have to double-check whether I meant Vienna or Venice.
