This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: fbnaulin on December 10, 2024, 04:55:02 PMI just completed Tactics Ogre Reborn, I completely felt in love with the game. So much, that I'm starting Tactics Ogre: The Knight of Lodis on GBA.

I've never seen it confirmed, but I'm dead convinced that series owes its existence to Queen. Yes, that Queen. The first game in the series is titled Ogre Battle: March of the Black Queen. The second Queen album contains both a song called "Ogre Battle" and a song called "March of the Black Queen". Fun fact.

I'm playing Gloomhaven on switch right now. Its just alright (the game isn't very performant)  but at least I don't have to set things up or invite friends over to play.

For Christmas, I got the Atari 7800+ system. and it's fully backwards-compatible.  I searched around and found about a dozen of my 7800 cartridges, and I'm playing those.  Some of the titles include Joust, Winter Games, Crossbow, Galaga, Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Jr.,  and my favorite: Xevious.  It came with a new title: Bentley Bear's Crystal Quest, a platformer based on the characters in Crystal Castles.  Pretty fun.

Currently playing Risk of Rain 2, now that all the bugs from the new DLC have been patched out. There are a few more updates yet to come, so hopefully the rest of the balance issues will be ironed out.

I've been itching to also try out Mouthwashing, it's got that retro horror aesthetic.

That's awesome.  Wonder if they have any plans to fit "Seven Seas of Rhye" and "The Fairy Feller's Master Stroke" in there?

Warplanes: WW1 Fighters on my new Meta Quest 3S.

I now finally have a flight simulator that matches the dream I've had since I first saw a flight simulator an a computer on an episode of Mr. Wizard a lifetime ago.

Funny thing is that I have the same game on my Switch and played it a bit, but I can't get enough of this one in VR.

It's been way too long since I played it, but I remember Tactics Ogre: The Knights of Lodis for the Game Boy Advance having some things in it that reminded me of lyrics from "Seven Seas of Rhye". Supposedly all those songs were based on a fantasy novel Freddy Mercury was writing at the time. Information about it is extremely scarce though, so I doubt it was directly used as a basis for the Ogre Battle setting.

Just learned this though. The first Tactics Ogre game is subtitled "Let Us Cling Together" which is the subtitle of another Queen song.
