I've been abusing the fuck out of Gold Dragons lately. A hero with Spellcasting V, four life spheres and everything researched means I can easily sustain three of them without any magic crystal generators. It's so much fun using one as a scout, finding several huge enemy armies composed entirely of melee units and proceeding to burn them to cinders while they stand around like morons.

I love flying units.

What game is this exactly, that I may look into it? o_o

Sweet.

Is it more like Civilization or Might and Magic?

Hmm...more like Might and Magic, I'd guess.  Closest analogue I can think of, that I've played, is Warcraft.

Since I got a shiny new 1TB external HD for my laptop I moved a good portion of music+DRM-free games over to it. I now have 50GB left to fill on my internal, so that's some nice wiggle room. I can probably download my various indie bundle games now.

So, I have a coupon for 50% off a Rockstar product on Steam. Said coupon expires on the first, and since I will not have the dollars to buy LA Noire for myself by then, I'm putting the coupon up for grabs. Send me a message through Steam if you want it.

I think it's the fact that noone scored anything.  Or that he's alone on one side.

The latter one.  My entire team quit right at the beginning of the match.  This was taken during the match.  I was like "WTF, seriously?"

I had a situation similar to that in CoD4 before...I was in the middle of a match, and my whole team just...buggered off.  We were fairly even in score before then...but, it was 4-to-1, me being the one.

The last minute ended with me in a hangar with a Skorpion SMG, a M1911, no grenades, and only one extra clip for each of my guns.  So, outnumbered and outgunned, I waited in the hangar, and had a bastard come in on the right, I blew him away.  His friend came by just a second or two later, and I emptied the rest of my Skorpion clip and a few M1911 rounds in him.  THEN, both of the remaining enemies came into my little hangar not a few seconds later, just long enough to reload my pistol, and I blow one guy away, take a few bullets, and stick a knife into the remaining guy's head.

This shit all happened in less than...half a minute.  Oh, I also won that round.

[ETA]

Oh, and by the way...this, is the Skorpion, for those of you who don't know:



Yes, it is tiny.  And therefore manly.
