I ran across the card game Egyptian Ratscrew today. According to the site it “has nothing to do with Egypt, rodents, or screws.”
Most intriguing is the following quote, based on three sixes being played in a row:
which results in everyone losing, and mandates that the deck be completely burned by midnight and that no one else can play Ratscrew until the next day. This isn’t superstition, this is pyromania.
Card games with the possibility of fire. That’s good entertainment.
Well looks like they’ve disabled some things if you’re not a “subscriber” now. Doesn’t matter, I still love the game, and will fork out the $9.95 to subscribe. Game addiction is a terrible thing, and must be alleviated.
The game kicks pigu, though, and you really should subscribe. Play on Shulgoth server with me, I’m Wonko.
I don’t usually post video here, but frequent-commenter Glen mentioned this to me and I thought I’d look for it—it was easy to find:
I finally picked up my copy of Hellgate London. It will rock. Demons will die. I will be entertained.
BTW, Shulgoth is where you’ll find me.
One more day…just one more day and it will be here.
I haven’t played much by way of computer games for the last 2+ years, I really haven’t had a lot of time, but Hellgate London is looking like it’s going to pull me out of “game retirement”—I got the demo and man is it cool! It’s going to be released on Hallowe’en.
It’s a combination of an RPG like the Diablo series, but also has FPS elements with a little MMO stuff on the side. It looks like it will be a lot of fun.
