Demigods of the Sift
Have any of you tried the new videogame Demigod?
I just bought it last night and so far it's been hella-fun. It's a mix of warlords battlecry with Defense of the Ancients (warcraft 3 mod).
I know there are some gamers here *glances at NicoleBee* so it would be cool if ya'll would come play with me.
Or else I'll just have to play with myself, as usual...

I have not played this game - I'm not into RTS, but I wanna say it's great that you bought it. That's more than most players can say.
Explain to me a bit more in a PM and I'll look into it.
As of right now i've seen a review on ign, but didn't really get the premise.
^Wardell is a pathetic whiner.
That is all.
The premise is relatively simple. At heart it is a multiplayer game. You control a hero (demigod) which you move around a map with friendly and enemy heroes. You have to complete some objective, as a team, for instance destroy enemy heroes X times or capture more bases than the other team.

You have your hero unit, which gains levels during the game - up to 20 - and you have skill point you can distribute on a skill tree, which gives the hero different abilities, both active and passive. (Much like Warlords Battlecry)
Then you have summoned units, which your hero summons with an item you can buy at your base. At the base, you can buy several different items at varying costs. You earn gold by killing enemies and capturing flags and so on.
You can upgrade your hero with these items and you can upgrade your base by buying "items" for it. The base basically runs itself, and by capturing points you get access to the buildings that are in that little zone, for instance a better item shop. (This is much like the Old School game "Z".)
More over there is a steady flow of "reinforcements" which are like a general flow of very low level troops, which can mass over heroes - combined with your own hero, this can be lethal, but on their own they don't stand up to much punishment. By upgrading your base building, you can make these reinforcements more varied, with healers and stuff, so they are more of a threat.
And that's basically it. A huge arena fight.
NERDS!

Oh snap!
I've got it. Very fun game, but it is a direct ripoff of Hero Wars (a warcraft 3 mod) that has been fleshed out a little better. Msg me and I'll add you to my Impulse friends list (wish it was Steam, how many friends lists do I need?).
Warnings for anyone thinking about getting it: it has pretty steep system requirements (it's the first game I can't run on highest settings) and a rather long learning curve. Lots of replayability though.

Can I run it on my TRS-80?
Have you ever heard of the game, "Don't misuse Cross Post". It's simple, but fun when played right. By the way you lose.
^Cross post is for posts that concern videosift or its users. This does just that. I win, you get herpes.
I died of dysentery...

Maybe if you overclocked.
