WHAT ARE YOU THINKING ABOUT RIGHT NOW?

While reading up on coding I created a reference pun that I am overly proud of;

Xor! Mathematicson! Hero of professors! Ready to calculate! Your integers await!

Set to the tune of Sabaton's version of Twilight of the Thundergod.


(Xor is the mathematical equivalent of 'exclusive or' as in 'this or that, but not if both' http://mathworld.wolfram.com/XOR.html )

Repeat after me, I need a vacation!

I remember getting Wake of the Gods, a fan-made mod for Heroes 3, some time ago. Maybe fooled around with the "scripting", and used the "destroy building" feature just for the novelty of it. The "level 8" creatures were a nice touch, but, totally unnecessary. I suppose it just didn't do a heck of a lot for me, in the end.

ModHomm3 was actually what I was looking for. It can extract various data files from the LOD files into TXT format. It was something of a risk at first, but, setting Armageddon to have negative result did the same thing it did in Heroes 1 and 2. Which is really all I want from a Heroes game since I discovered what that did in 2.

I've played 4, and wasn't particularly enthused by it. 5 was better, but, I was still not enthused by heroes having their own turn. Though, that felt more like it was a feature of the CTB in that game more than them physically being in the battle (Hi, Heroes 4).

It does not surprise me that the setting for M&M 10 was whatever world Heroes 5 (6 and 7?) is in. I mean, Heroes 1 and Heroes 2 laid the foundations for the world in which M&M 6 and 7 occurred. They occurred in the same time-line (multiverse?) of the older games, on a new world computing, as always. However, they needed a new threat since the big-bad of the older games has (finally) fallen. The answer they came up with may be a cliche onto itself, but, it worked. M&M 8 seems to be set in that world too, but, it just felt so detached from everything. As for and 9...

...Er, whoops. I'll stop ranting now.

I read that as ''my car's breath smells like cat food''

Instead of speaking normally, I will be speaking in Simpsons quotes from now on. Kind of like Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra, but with Simpsons.

the cat's breath one is shorthand for "people are speaking about things that I don't understand"

MM8 still took place on COLONY/Enroth, just on the continent of Jadame. Unfortunately the game was kinda rushed and is very short if you know what you are doing. And some classes are completely broken, ie the Dragon. Still its fun.

MM9 was set on a new world and was going to be the next phase of the MM series. Unfortunately 3DO basically said, 'Use this new game engine! Its completely 3d! It doesn't matter if it lacks functionality, support, and is very difficult to use! Its cheap and thats what programmers are for, right?!' So there was delays on top of delays, buts out the wazoo, oh and 3DO was going bankrupt. So they pushed the game out at a minimum of 6 months ahead of their current schedule. Which is why the game is completely broken, the story doesn't make much sense, large portions of the game are missing, and everything is janky. It can still be fun to occasionally play, just don't expect MM6 epicness.

MMX(10)...disappointed me. I knew it was going to be turn-tile based, but they introduced a lot of mechanics that didn't work well. Notably 'taunt-tanking' and if the enemy was immune to taunt they'd just backhand your casters and they'd die instantly with a crit. Also the story sucked any reference to the old MM stuff and lore was gutted by Ubisoft high ups. They did manage to sneak in a few references to the Ancients, but not much. It too felt like the upper management screwed the game over from what it could have been.
