Evening Reading
by Nick Breckon, May 15, 2009 5:00pm PDTPlayed a decent amount of Killing Floor, the zombie survival mod-turned-retail game from Tripwire. It certainly still feels more like a mod than a retail game, but I sort of like it with the right group of people.
I do wish that you could build actual barricades in both this game and Left 4 Dead. I have a gaming fetish that can only be sated by piling random objects in front of a door and playing hide-and-go-shoot. This explains my intense love of Resident Evil 4.
And the nominations for Most Interesting News of May 15 go to:
- Activision, for new Guitar Hero 5 details
- Activision, for Tony Hawk features full-scale skateboard controller
- BioWare, for new Mass Effect 2 trailer
- Take-Two v. 3D Realms, for more pre-trial craziness
- Valve, for TF2 Spy update shenanigans
And the winner goes to.. Valve. A truly brilliant twist on an already entertaining marketing campaign.

I've been posting away in the MD like a doofus. Seems like we've got a few guys who think they can be the neighborhood bullies trying to throw their weight around. Let's see if we can't gear up and teach them a thing or two.

I just launched a major attack on giantfish's capital @ (773,258). My attack consists of 13k warriors, 8.7k archers. It will put a mighty blow on the enemy. However, it will not fully plunder him -- and perhaps not even kill him.
IT IS IMPORTANT THAT OTHER SHACKERS HELP FINISH HIM.
To do this, time your attack to arrive mere minutes -- or even less than a minute -- after my attack. Send plenty of troops in case I do not fully kill the enemy, but also send transports/workers to carry loot. HE HAS A LOT OF LOOT. My last scouting report says he has 6k warrors, 10k swords, and 4k archers defending. That's a lot. He also has 7k swords in a nearby city. This will be a bloodbath, but IF WE ATTACK TOGETHER, WE SHALL PREVAIL.
My ATTACK ARRIVAL TIME IS 2:58am (and 30 seconds) CENTRAL TIME -- repeat, CENTRAL USA TIME.
Time your attacks to arrive near then. You all can finish him off and take all his stuff!
Be warned, you may have to send workers with your attack force, to satisfy food carrying requirements for the attack (if it's a long march).
His neighbor city is at 776,259. It is possible he may retreat units or resources to that city to spare them. Keep an eye on it with scouts and adjust plans accordingly.
I AM GOING OUT for the evening, and may not be back in time to see this attack go down. Good luck!
