......

I haven't said anything in here in a while.

I haven't played anything but Hearts, Solitaire, and Mahjong for three months. I'm just a few games away from hitting the 100 mark in Mooshu tiles. Uh..woohoo?

[Faith]

 Mooshu tiles? O.o
What's Mahjong? ':D

[Fox]

Mahjong is this thing with a bunch of tiles sitting around..and you try to match 'em the clear the floor. Kinda.

Mooshu is what it's called in After Dark Games. XP

[Faith]

Try to match 'em the clear floor?... O.o ? ? ?
That statement has lost me, I'm afraid... ... ... >.<

[bloodreaper]

You kind of got to see it, but I'll give this a shot.

It's like Japanese solitaire, but with tiles instead of cards, and variant rules for multiple players (which rarely appear in computer renditions).

The tiles are arranged in stacks, which are arranged in rows.

You can remove pairs of tiles that have the same symbol, if they are on top of their respective stacks and on the ends of row. Usually there are four tiles of each type, so it's not always best to remove tiles just because you can.

It's easy to learn, but hard to master.

[Dragyn]

Also, it may make more sense if you read Fox's statement as "Remove them to clear the floor," instead.

[Faith]

Hm...
Well, this is the first I've heard much of it.
I'm not sure I follow, entirely, however I think I understand for the most part.

I don't know how the whole thing moves from having stacks of tiles to taking tiles from the stacks more than just once, though...
I might help if I actually played solitaire. ':P

[bloodreaper]

No becuase tou can't see any of the tiles in a stack except the top one, and you can't move tiles that are covered. It's like having several boardgames on top of each other, but you can't play on the second board until that part is no longer covered, and you can match tiles from different layers, so long as both are playable.

It's much more three dimensional than solitare.

[Faith]

Huh...

I'm too much nerd to fit in the real world and not nerd enough for the computer-world. >.<

[bloodreaper]

Don't sweat it. Majong is the sort of video game grandmothers play, mostly.

[Faith]

*Snrk.*
So even the grandmas know more about it than I do.    XD

Meh. I'm too busy, anymore, anyway.

[Fox]

Video game? Mahjong started as a board game. The computer versions just popularized it. The only reason I don't have a real set is because I can't bloody find one. D: I found one in National Geographic, though. It's $100..but it's definitely on my Christmas list.

And I'm playing Spryo. The original. 'Cause I haven't played it since 1998. *sigh* Insomniac didn't know a good thing when they had it, obviously. HOW LIMITED IS IT NOW?? T.T

[Faith]

Insomniac didn't know a good thing when they had it? Who/what?

[Fox]

Insomniac made the original(and best) Spyro the Dragon games. They sold it after Year of the Dragon, which, in my oppinion, was a mistake. I was reading somewhere that they quit because Spyro's movements were so limited, which was why they started on the Ratchet & Clank series.

The Sierra trilogy has sold more than the originals, and even I must admit that they gave Spyro some neat combo moves. However, they ruined the entire Spyro saga in the process. I just hope the people at Insomniac are beating themselves over the head with a baseball bat for giving up on it.

[bloodreaper]

I've started playing Disgea again on mt PSP.

Must..Level...up...more!

Must... never leave house again lest lose... leveling... time....
...

Help... Me....! Can't... Stop ... Leveling.... up...!

There's just so much stuff to do in this this game it's insane, and every one of those things levels something up.

Steal things and sell them? Buy things? Your country's econmy levels up, allowing you to buy better items.

Want to fight a random dungeon full of loot and mosters? Pick an item; every floor you clear will level it up. Killing the bosses every 10 floors nets you a hefty bonus to your item's stats.

Want to fight a super powered boss, 190 levels above that of you toughest character? Expect to reap a pile of characte XP, and level up your ability to recruit that boss... or ... you know...die.  

Want to send a single character to fight against a team of crack duelists? He gains XP, and his political level increaces, allowing him to attract more powerful senators to your political machine.

Want to pass a law requiring item shops to stock better weapon, or to carry a new class of accessory? Perhaps you'd like to fight stronger foes, by legaling mandating a level increace for all random battles (and bosses)? --or simply declare war or Planet Earth? Successes increace your clout, allowing you to pass future bills easier. Until you get on a roll, expect to bribe a lot of senators.

This game is so warped, but it's just too much fun to put down.
