Wow, that was brief (yeah it says half an hour, but I was on the phone for half of that).

So: good to be back! Glad to see I still know how stuff works - sort of - and good to know I can still sorely underestimate the Chained Court. It does appear the cacos have either gotten stronger or better AI; both in HA and the CC I got surprised by their attacking behaviour (cornershooting-ish behaviour when I expected it to move, charging into combat when I expected it to shoot).

At first I had some issues with the sound (think it was the music engine), where halfway through a level or 2 the samplerate for playback sounded like it suffered from a heartattack and everything - including gameplay - started stuttering. Readjusting the music/sound volumes halfway through has, until proven otherwise, fixed this. I think I occassionally had the same problem with 0996 as well.

Bonus points on the random name engine. With a first draw like this, I'll be honoured to bear anything the RNG cares to slap on me :)

Let's see how long it takes me to score a win this time around...

Glad to see another person getting back into the groove. :) Out of curiosity, how do you let the game select a random name for you? Do you simply leave the name selection blank? I've edited the config file to always choose my name, but it would be fun to try out the random names maybe.

Just leave the name prompt blank. The random names are fairly hilarious sometimes.

Didn't know that worked, too - you can set it in the config file as well:

AlwaysRandomName = true

[Isasaur]

One of the random names is Derek Yu, lol.

Derek Yu was around for quite some time.
Now, "Linuxusers Buy Games", that's what made me ROFL :).
