Haha, yeah it’s pretty much the best box to toggle (that and disabling “allow quick join”). I think it’s a lot of fun, and I am enjoying my playthrough immensely. I’m still up at 2:00am for hell’s sake.

I plan to do more single-player stuff for the time being but my battlenet id should be on facebook for when it’s time to kill diablo with friends.

I’ve yet to install it and play (will be playing by tomorrow), but I’ll be sure to check this out when I do. for the amount of credit you’re giving this feature, it is pretty damn hidden.

I remember playing this a long time ago when my dad got the demo off a Mac Addict trial CD. He was super pumped because it is apparently based apon a movie called “DeathRace 2000″ in which a collapsed United States entertains the masses and curbs the growing population with a ridiculous cross country race in which the drivers try to kill each other and everything else around them. The main character is a government stooge named Frankenstein.

Yes this movie is as awesome as it sounds. The only thing that made him more excited was when we ran over the flag guy who starts the race- Something that we had been wanting to do since every racing game ever. And on top of that not only did the game allow us to do it… it gave us EXTRA points to do so. Thanks Carmageddon.

Here are some debates, but Roguelikes are a subgenre and have a smaller following than many other game types.

This is the Berlin Interpretation, it’s a list of standards agreed upon by attendees of the International Roguelike Development Conference. You bet they discussed that.

I think this is the discussion here (4 years old, though):

This wiki even has a special category for Major Roguelikes:

I think a lot of people have opinions on this, and if there’s something about Roguelikes you want to debate go ahead, lol.

I love me some Roguelikes. I may be terrible at them, but I love ‘em.

I did a post about them a little while back with some further recommendations:

I have something of a soft spot for Angband, which was the source of one of my favourite “emergent narrative” moments of all time. Three levels down into the dungeon, I ran out of oil for my lamp and had no torches. I had to fumble my way in the dark (literally, by running into walls to find them and mark them on the map) in order to get back out.

“A thing attacks you.” I had no idea what it was. Could have been a kobold, could have been a big dragon. I ran like hell. Genuinely terrifying.
