A lot happening today, so I’ll be quick! (Is it possible to procrastinate quickly? Do any of us want to?)
Dicewars will once and for all expose to everyone how easily I am confounded by strategy games.
At least, I think this is a strategy game.
It is, isn’t it?
You start out with a map that’s divided into territories: yours and those of your opponent. For some reason your opponent ALWAYS gets to go first, which I don’t think is fair, but then what do I know? Apparently being good at strategy games means you get to CHEAT.
Anyway.
When your opponent is finally through with eating up most of your territory, you get to go, and the best I can figure out is that somehow your opponent tossed all your big number dice way in the back, where you can’t reach them and are stuck fighting this onslaught with such a pitiful number that even Napoleon would weep.
Outgunned, that’s what I was.
Still, it’s kind of addictive, in a masochistic sort of way.
Evil, evil time sink.
Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. My head hurts from thinking so hard.
Great link, Bonnie, but too wicked for this chaos chaser.
Bonnie,
Want another distraction? Check this out. It made me an hour late for a meeting with Chris Rock.
They call it Vector Park It’s all about balance. And you can ‘win’ according to some one on the world wide webbish.
Thanks for the link, Bonnie. I’ll send my enemies there to make them feel like losers. đŸ˜€
Here’s a less strategical procrastination game. Hangman! for Halloween! http://dedge.com/flash/hangman/
I WON! Not sure how, but I beat out two other dice rollers! Woohoo.
Kristen, it isn’t too wicked for me… it’s just too hard. My brain is useless.
Portnoy, that’s an interesting game, but how far can you go with it? I was running out of space and reorganizing things constantly. I like it, though.
Heh, Honey! That’s how I felt after playing it… like a big ole’ loser. Mainly because I lost.
Erika, that’s a fun little game for Halloween! I like the skeleton’s patter: “Eeewps! Should I tell Vanna you wanna buy a vowel?”
Dang, this is addictive. I won again, beat 3 others this time. It’s all about knowing when to quit your turn and let the dice pile up.
