This is either the least subtle dick humor I've seen in a while, or this is some severely wacked out phone posting. Either way, I giggled. That was a nice video. I was worried it would spoil stuff, but he barely glances at two pages of automapped map, and only sees one creature: A GIANT SPIDER! I'm so excited!

This funny thing is that I've seen Swype actually make errors like that.  That reminds me, is there a feature for replacing Spiders with other critters for the people that are scared to death of them? I forget if it was asked earlier. I'm not too worried for myself, but when I see spiders in video games I automatically think of the mods for other games that people have made to remove them.

Should I go around demanding a purge of snakes from every possible place that I might see even so much as a virtual representation of them? Fears are not overcome by running away and pretending they don't exist.

Are you afraid of snakes or do you have a phobia of snakes? And why would it being a depiction of a spider and not a real one matter if the phobia isn't rational in the first place? (Most) spiders aren't dangerous whether they're on a computer screen or in your house.

I never played Dungeon Master, but have seen several comparisons with LoG. In a discussion on another site, I found that there have been fan remakes of Dungeon Master. I haven't tried any of these yet, but plan to give the Java version a try. Dungeon Master-browser version Dungeon Master-Java (site 1) Dungeon Master-Java (site2) Dungeon Master-Java with some additions Not sure what differences if any there are in the Java versions.

Giant spiders are in like literally every RPG ever made.

I just had to pre-order it after watching the Kotaku video. Something about that pushed me over the edge. I bought it from the dev store so how do I access the goodies? Or are those not out yet? (I did redeem the code on Steam)

The email you receive has a link that takes you to a Humble Bundle page. The main portion is the "click here to redeem your Steam key" part. If you look at the first paragraph, however, it says " Please enjoy this preorder bonus package". The words "preorder bonus package" are a link to the download. If you save that email, later that page should have an option to download the full game. OrganicAnkleSocks fucked around with this message at Mar 29, 2012 around 00:15 |

Fayk posted:I like turn-based as much as the next guy, but (based on inferences and having played DM) these people are sadly full of it if they think that 'real-time' = arcadey or removing strategy. There were entire mechanics (crushing enemies in doors, etc) in DM that wouldn't even work (without big changes) in a turn-based context. If mobs move around the map and attack you while you're not, it's realtime.

Wendell posted:Wow. People are ridiculous. The sudden demand for arachnophobe-friendly settings didn't exist until Rock Paper Shotgun mentioned a Skyrim mod that changed all spider spawns into bears instead. I'm still not sure if the notion isn't just some joke/meme/troll. Considering the vast majority of RPGs I can think of included some kind of spider, how have arachnophobic RPG fans survived the genre up until this point?

I can almost guarantee its an extension of the  "NOPE" meme, where people post pictures of spiders and mock extreme phobia / disgust.I know some people have severe arachnophobia, but it can't be as widespread as "the internet" makes it out to be.

The point I was trying to make is that maybe people should take some personal responsibility and seek help for their problems, rather than expect the rest of the world to bend and bow to their hangups. Anyway, got my pre-order in!  Has anything else been said about other platforms? Having this on my Transformer Prime would be the greatest thing.

If implementing a no-spider mode is gonna get them some good PR and not be a pain in the arse to do then I think they should do it, can't hurt considering how small they are. Should a person overcome that fear, if it's that extreme? Probably, yeah, but I don't see why it should be Almost Human's job to make people do that or something.

So you guys are so scared of spiders that you think those things with crab claws and crab legs and crab shells are spiders? Or is there a different promo image floating around of actual spiders?

Just preordered the game directly and have never used a Steam key to activate a game. Do I plug that in now, or do I wait until I have the game installed after it comes out and then enter the key?

You need to wait impatiently until release, just tried it myself ordering from the devs.

You can add it to your library, but of course you can't do much other than view one additional entry in your games list. On the Library tab in Steam there is an "Add" button in the lower right. That will give you an option to activate a new Steam title.

I said come in! posted:How many different dungeon environments are there? There's three environments. And the arachnophobia mode has been discussed here and elsewhere before (even before the skyrim bear mod I think) and we have seriously been considering of adding the feature but unfortunately due to time constrains we haven't had the time for it, at least for now.

Preordered because this looks like a Good Game by a bunch of Cool Dudes. Also, got the Lands of Lore bundle from GoG. Aught to be worth it for the first one at least. EDIT: Yup, it is pretty neat! Unlucky7 fucked around with this message at Mar 29, 2012 around 06:49 |

Funny thing is that this actually was subject to discussion with the devs right in this thread. This is what j.peeba had to say about it: j.peeba posted:Well, we've already had a few individual requests for an arachnophobia option and we'll have to put it into consideration if there's enough need for it. In either case it probably won't make it into the initial release. So there you have it.

A simple model edit that adds a party hat and jaunty wellingtons. No-one could be scared of them then.

Some handicaps are worth patching in support for; some are signs the end user needs to seek help. Let's compare the cases of the quadriplegic versus the arachnophobe....

How are characters created? I always loved the way Dungeon Master did it, where you clicked on portraits of pregenerated characters as you explored a minidungeon before the actual game. You could find hidden rooms that had some pimped out starting characters. In Chaos Strike Back they even let you create your own character via a special portrait. It doesn't sound like much but this was one of those things that made those games one step beyond the run of the mill crawlers. Will buy this on PC, but i'm really excited of the potential of pure awesome on the uber highres ipad3. It puts my pc to shame.
