    Can you elaborate on your hmmm in a spoiler free fashion?

    It is definitely worth seeing, but I was pulling a wincing face at a couple of pieces of what I think are colossal misjudgements.

    Buy Eclipse in its giant box with beautifully printed card parts and hundreds and hundreds of lovely pieces instead.

    According to the review of iOS Eclipse the setup time and number of pieces involved in the physical boardgame isn't exactly something that tickles my pleasure center.

    Pfft. Casual.

    I played Mega Mall Story and liked it but by the end of the game I was pretty ready to stop playing and haven't felt like buying another Kairosoft game since.

    I watched War on Geminar

    It is the worst anime I've ever watched. I did not blow my wad.

    Tell me more. 8->

    It's a worse harem anime than the original Tenchi. The main character is absolutely perfect and universally admired and even his 'flaws', which amount to simply being spineless and asexual, don't hinder him.

    I think I'd rather watch a hentai anime and just cut out the BS pretensions if I was going to watch that kind of thing at all; in fact, with such things in existence, why wouldn't someone just go buy into that instead? What is even the market for this?

    If it had a good story maybe, but it's looking like it's pretty generic.

    Because hentai is even worse.

    Hence why I don't watch it. But for someone who would want this kind of thing, they'd be better served by going full on service rather then blow their wad on whatever War on Geminar is supposed to be.

    Also, we were mentioning earlier in chat in relation to you being from Nottingham how lots of people must go there because of Robin Hood. Do you guys have any tourist traps or whatnot set up to try and benefit from the legend?

    There was a Robin Hood thingy in town on Maid Marian Way (famously the ugliest street in the city), but it closed down. There's a statue, but frankly they need to pull their finger out and cash in somehow because for fucks sake it's Robin Hood.

    of all the Kairosoft games I have (Dungeon Village, Mega Mall Story, Epic Astro Story, Game Dev Story, Grand Prix Story, Ninja Village) I think Mega Mall is the most shallow.

    I've played it a couple times (like all of them, the "real" game starts after you beat it once and unlock tons of stuff for next time) through but I think the others I listed are better games.

    I think Dungeon Village is my favorite followed by Ninja Village then Grand Prix.
    What you think "makes sense" has nothing to do with reality. It just has to do with your life experience. And your life experience may only be a small smidgen of reality. Possibly even a distorted account of reality at that. So what this means is that, beginning in the 20th century as our means of decoding nature became more and more powerful, we started realizing our common sense is no longer a tool to pass judgment on whether or not a scientific theory is correct. - Neil Degrasse Tyson

    I don't get why developers want to build regular games that are designed for buttons and joysticks on a touch screen device.
    Because a good developer doesn't limit their thought that way, and there are all sorts of ways to control games aside from how we are conditioned to think is the way.

    I've played quite a few traditional games on my touch screen, and some are even better experiences (especially adventure games)

    I am rather surprised they haven't; @japan was mentioning earlier that a bunch of tourists visit there for that exact reason. It must be disappointing.

    Maybe the city is just hesitant to go too far and be typecast as "The Robin Hood city".

    I should do this for when I have family over, my cousins love board games and I'd probably enjoy it more in that format then on a touch screen.

    I haven't played Ninja Village, might have to check it out, I'm definitely with you on Dungeon Village and Grand Prix bieng up there amongst the best ones they have. I didn't care for game dev, and astro was okay but I just kinda stopped playing it.

    dungeon village is really good. I like Astro Story but some people have felt there was a lot to chew on if you hadn't wasted hours of your life on all the other iphone games beforehand.

    on the sportsy side, the soccer team one and the grand prix one are both super approachable and work by the same premise.

    I suppose; I haven't seen any harem anime per se, only fan service laden stuff like Queen's Blade: Rebellion and actual porn hentai. I avoid that corner of Japanese animation like the plague both because it's very bad and because that much concentrated misogyny is a total turnoff.

    Actually, due to me being ill, then drunk, then at @bogart's playing board games, the only photo I have of Nottingham is the statue of Robin Hood, in the distance. It is a nice photo but then it really could be any statue of a man in the distance

    Today's Stardrive game I am taking a different tack. I am playing the Vulfen, slightly altered. The Vulfar/Vulfen are a race that are dumb as bricks, have incredible production and their big bonus is an ability called pack mentality. A lone ship has a 25% penalty to damage. But for each ship it its system/area it gains a 5% damage bonus for each ship up to 50% additional damage. Also their ships are weaker in health so kind of shitty. So you just swarm people.

    Also they are ugly so everyone hates them.

    This has lead me to being very aggressive. The first to fall were the Ryleh my next door neighbors. The squid faces thought they could expand to a system I wanted, how they were wrong. My first fleet of corvettes and fighters hit them so hard it caused their tentacles to spin. I then made some bomber corvettes and brought them in and exterminated the squids. I then colonized the very nice planets I had cleansed.

    Next I met the humans. Again taking a planet I wanted while also being all snobby. They weren't snobby when my fleet entered Sol and wiped the floor with them. Humanity's days were numbered as I bombed Earth and then repopulated it with my Vulfen.

    My current war is verse the Draylock, lizard folks who use holograms. I have destroyed many of their colonies but thanks to their sneaky ways they landed on Earth taking it so I had to cleanse it again only to lose it again and this continued till I just dropped an army on it. I also control their homeworld and all but two of their colonies. They will fall soon.

    Next will be the Opterius. The mechano bugs will fall before the Vulfen pack. We shall crush all.

    Also going a completely different design tactic this game. Since my ships have 25% less hit points I have ignored armor and shield and just put as many weapons as I can. One dying isn't a big deal when you have 50 more to replace it.

    When I was a kid my standards were pretty shit, so I have seen a few harem shows and tried some animated hentai. I didn't have an issue with the anime, since low standards, but even I thought the animated hentai was complete shit.
