Card Hunter

I've gotten to the point where the female character has started DMing the campaign, because of course the pizza delivery lady who the previous DM had a crush on plays the game and is perfectly willing to hang out with two losers. I don't know, the story of this game is silly. The game is still pretty alright though, I guess. For a tactical game.

Card Hunter

Card Hunter is now on Steam, which mean it loads a lot faster and actually works pretty well. I should probably get back into Card Hunter again. It remembered all my gear and stuff too. I got hung up on a series of missions in which the final battle has you fighting skeletons, who are immune to slashing and piercing damage, and blobs, who are immune to crushing. This was a tough fight to gear to, and I only survive because my priest was packing a far amount of unholy damage. Still like the idea of this game, but really sad that my idea of "a set of cards that must be added to the deck you are building as a single unit" is now pretty mainstream. I guess it wasn't that unique of an idea.

EVE Online, Card Hunter

SO....I may have restarted my EVE Online account. I tried to figure out exactly how to play again, they changed how scanning works, and it's a lot less tedious, but they added another layer of weird on top of it though, in which you have to hack the device through an easy minigame, and then the device spits out these rewards that you have to quickly grab before they disappear, and the majority of time it's garbage, like carbon. It's really confusing.

Oh, and also while I was running courier missions, some jerks hanging outside a warp gate blew up my ship for no reason. People are dicks!

Oh also, hardy endorsement for this game Card Hunter, which is a "deck-building" game that does it really really well. You play a D&D-esque party, and they each have a deck that is determined by what equipment you have. Your weapon gives you six attack cards, your boots give you three movement cards, etc. And then you go on old-school First Edition adventures, with your character represented by standies and a bunch of old nostalgia stuff, but the gameplay is a light but fun tactics game. I like it! You should check it out! Card Hunter! (The only issue right now is because it just launched, the servers are kind of shaky, but otherwise, good fun.)
