The Drunken Lizard Pub

Hello everyone! Long time no see! Hope you're all doing well.

A post from a few years back has kind of stayed in my mind for a long time - I've been really curious about the idea of speedrunning all three games. Getting a new (actually, quite old) gaming PC up and running was the perfect excuse to ...

For a turn-based game I think it makes more sense to score a run in turns rather than in time. I don't suppose the game tracks how many turns have elapsed?


Sorry to resurrect a kind of dead post. But I haven't been on in a while apparently.

Anyway, I feel like the game does keep track of that ...

I don't know if any of you have played an old side-scroller (kind of, anyway. Not really sure how to classify it) called Cave Story. I think it's a wonderful game. Anyway, throughout the game your character gets more health by picking up "health capsules," which are finite in number. So of course a ...

Ah man. This is a good subject - thanks for bringing it up Leezar.

I frequently find myself humming or whistling Eschalon music, and it always brings back strong emotions. I end up using it as ambient music for DnD campaigns quite a bit as well.
The harp music especially makes me remember such ...

I'm ashamed that it's been so long since you made this post and I hadn't seen it yet. But, maybe the problem is that I was too used to camping in the first place, hahaha.

I find myself checking about once a month or so, just praying that there's some lovely discussion that will spark some nostalgia. We're still rooting for you BW!

In Book II I did all three of the above, haha. I ended up getting Elemental for Lock Melt, and a carried around the dagger that I started with just... 'cause? By even mid game it was pretty useless.

I think that it would have been possible with a pure, but I wanted the loot too badly.

I think that's one of the beauties of these games - Basilisk Games (i.e. Basilisk Wrangler) has created something that we can feel homesick for. Something that to me, feels like a classic, something I want to revisit every now and then. I think that a vast majority of recent games do not have that ...

Well. After being away from two years, it only felt right to play through the Eschalon series again with something I hadn't done before. I chose a Divination expert, though I found pick locks was critical without Lock Melt or Unarmed Combat. Honestly, this has been one of my favorite playthroughs ...

Hey everyone! I thought I made a post like two years ago saying: hey, I'm leaving for two years. But I couldn't find it if I did.

Either way, I just returned home after serving a volunteer mission for my church in New England.
Decided I'd check out Basilisk Games and see what the latest sauce was ...

At this point id buy a game from BG even if it stated i was just going to watch paint dry.
Yeah, I think I might as well.

For what it's worth, I've used Unity and Unreal4, and while I personally found Unreal4 produced a more desirable result, Unity was much easier to work with. I also much prefer ...

Thanks for that advice a lot actually! I'll check that out for sure!

I had considered it, but ultimately ruled it out because I did not know the extend of its abilities. Thanks for the advice though, it sounds like this option is much more viable than I thought. I will certainly try that out.

Do you have copious amounts of free time? I'm sure you do - who doesn't? Here's the deal. I don't actually like any other forums because I find that I make an account, make 1-2 posts, follow it until I have my answer, and then forget about it entirely. This forum is literally always open on my right ...

I had hoped that it wouldn't come to this - when I first joined the forums 4 years ago he was super helpful and had genuinely intriguing comments (amid several small pranks). He just slowly got less and less tolerable, to the point that I too felt I wasn't gaining anything from these forums. I had ...
