  1. @Lelling I have several Ral's, tough Niv-Mizzet is my bae personally. Crazy intelligent, end-justifies-the-means scientist dragon with a love for lightning and blowing things up? I am so in :D Also Shadowrun was the reason I fell in love with the asian cyberpunk aesthetic in the first place, that rpg is just so soo awesome and I am very sad I haven't had the chance to play in ages.

    This.

    As ridiculous as it may sound, I need to think so hard to get anything out of that 12h format.

    I learned a little memory trick that helped me figure out am/pm stuff. The gist of it is am = at morning and pm = past midday. Maybe it can help you as well ^^

  3. Welcome to the forums Vidarr! I'm really glad to hear that you feel at home here with OC. I kinda had the same thing before I found them, not really clicking with any guild or not having a lot of people to talk to online ^^,

    Sadly that is a bit far for me to just pop by for a gig :P But I'll have to keep it in mind if I happen to visit the neighbourhood.

    Yeah I totally understand that! We made it into a week-long trip with the concert as the highlight, and just spent some time being tourists in Amsterdam the rest of the week. It was really nice :D

    Aaaaaaa

    Heroes

    AaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAaaaAaaaAaaaaa

    Heroes

    Heroes of Might and Magic 3 was one of the very first video games I remember playing on Windows 95 (before that we had a DOS computer), and I was always into magic and mythology but that's what really made it for me. It was so goooood

    I loved Heroes 4 too, I know a lot of people don't like it but it's like my little damaged baby that everyone else hates =(

    And when in need of something to listen to while doing <thing> I find myself listening to soundtracks from pretty much all the Heroes games :D 

    I'm yet to try Heroes 7 because that shniz is expensive & not very well rated so I'm going to wait until a 75% sale on steam :P 

    HEROESSSSSSSS

     

    I actually started out with Heroes 5 and I fell for it pretty hard, but everyone told me to try out Heroes 3 and so I eventually did. While I like them both 5 does have a special place in my heart :3 I've never actually played 4 however, it sailed completely under the radar for me.

    And about 7 hmm, I managed to pick it up at a 75% discount pre-sale after the second beta (cause apparently they didn't have enough people testing) but I waited until after launch to play. Personally compared to the other Heroes games I find it very bland. It's not bad, but it has pretty much the same faults and strengths as the previous games which makes it feel like they didn't really consider what they could make better. Instead they just made another one. With the exceptions of the skill system of course, it is very different now, with a skill "pie" rather than a tree. I found it a bit unintuitive compared to the earlier games, but that's my opinion.

    I haven't really tried any faction but necro (Asha uses all!) and I must say I really like their new units. The necro playstyle hasn't changed much though, but that's to be expected really.

    When you get hold of it, I'd love to have someone to play a few games against :D or if you wanna play 6 I know how to avoid the worst netcode bugs ;) by the way, which faction is your favourite?

    Across the pond in Finland :P The water doesn't help there, I'm sure.

    Probably not no ^^" but I would for certain keep an eye out if he's gonna have a concert in Amsterdam again, cause it was an amazing experience c:

    Ooh, that is awesome! I'm kind of short on options to see any of his stuff live, not sure any's ever come by here as far as I've seen :\

    As far as I know he really dislikes travelling, so most concerts are pretty close to the Netherlands. Where do you live? :0

    AYREON omg _(@_@_)

    My own introduction was Into the Electric Castle followed by Human Equation, the first one still probably being my favourite with the latter as a very close second. But all are really good.

    And by the way, everything up to Theory of Everything (which by the way is the most impactful in my experience) is part of the same story :) Electric Castle is one of the Forever experimenting with people from various eras of Earth's history, Human Equation is another using the device from Universal Migrator to experience the story told by said album. It's all mind bogglingly complex and good O.o

    The best starting point might be Human Equation, becuase it gives you a really good rundown of Ayreon's style while being easily approachable. At least is my impression.

    Have to stop before I get started, I could go on for hours @_@

    Anyway, welcome to the forums :D

    I was introduced to Ayreon through the Human Equation and then Into the Electric Castle, so it was the other way around for me xD I still prefer 01011001 the most though cause I love the mood in it :3

    Oh I'm aware they're a part oh the same story, they're just not obviously so, and they touch on a lot of other themes which is why I didn't feel the need to present them in that way since it's not obvious until you've listened to the other albums, and I wanted to kinda leave the wow moment in there ;) But I particulary love the moment at the end of the Human Equation where he goes "Emotions, I remember" after the machine is shut off. Shiver down my spine every time.

    So awesome to find someone else who knows of him! I had the honour of seeing the Gentle Storm live in Amsterdam, and he was such a darling all through the show.

    Thank you :D
