SYSTEM WARS MONTHLY July Issue (Post E3 Aftermath, SW: The Comic, GS Wide)

Is the hermit in the comic supposed to be SoulReaverCross or CaseyWegner? Also - where is the drawing of the manticore who argued for your freedoms :P

subrosian

They weren't in the script.

I think GS Wide should be even wider. One that fits my 1920x1200 monitor natively would be awesome!noswear

That is WAY too wide.

Then you're ignoring that the hermits also argued against these rules, and that the only "hermits" arguing for them were mods :|

CaseyWegner is far more of a hermit than a lemming.

The animals aren't supposed to be any real person. The only time I used real people was on The Game, and that was because they wanted to.

yeah, i can see where your coming from not using any names and leaving it to imagination. avoids any potential issues with other users.

I need something to justify the purchase! :cry:

You can also use a zoom function if your browser supports it! Makes everything bigger!

Yeah, well, World in Conflict does look kind of uber on it. :D

Willy, I would like to thank you for making System Wars the game.

Other then getting stuck in places(your party blocked you), it was flawless. It was also hilarious too!

It was one of the best free rpgs I ever played. Thank you Willy!

I have an idea.

Why don't you seek out people that have played the months biggest game(s) (Bioshockowns usually buys 3 a month). Advertise the fact that you are seeking reviews for a particular game to lure in potential reviewers. You could perhaps have more than one reviewer, post three different reviews and make an average (Eurogamer did this with Forza 2, they got a hardcore sim fan to review it and a casual racing fan to review it, in this case, get a lemming and a sheep to review a game). For next issue, you could have a STALKER review or a SCIV review from SW posters, perhaps you could even get a LBP review by SpruceCaboose when it releases? Or a Left 4 Dead review by me :o?

This way, you get easy articles without asking a posters dedication (the idea of writing an article a month is daunting). What do you think?

gingerdivid

OH MY GAWD

what a great idea

take a look at the last post of the last page willy...

the next big thing for this mag could be rewiew wars!

where two people from two of the fanboy fractions will rewiew a game and have different thoughts, or hell just the game rewiews from a couple of people so that all the platforms are covered.

darkspineslayer

If you take gingerdivids advice about the reviews, I would love to write some, I plan on getting Resistance 2, Red Alert 3, Left 4 Dead on launch.

hey where can i download this system wars game?monkeyboss1

see below

You can download the game over at Gamespot Games. Willy105

When I say advertising, you could just literally put a message in your sig *Post a SCIV review in SW Monthly!* with perhaps a link to a user created board where you can monitor the requests?

Expanding on the "one off idea", perhaps it could be the same for articles? Perhaps short, recorded web podcast would be a step forward, where the staff and others discuss big games and news monthly? I know that the GUFU do podcasts.

There's plenty of things you can do. I personally think that you should get Kevin Van Ord to review SW the game, you've already interviewed him, that seems like a logical step forward. :)

I agree with the reviews.

Send me your reviews, anyone that wants to make them that has played the game long enough to have an educated view on it, on a PM, and I will give you the invitations to our big secret union!

Have your opinions up in lights!

Willy, I would like to thank you for making System Wars the game.

You are welcome! Good to know the ten months I spent making it didn't go in vain!

gingerdivid

We were thinking on doing the same thing, but we kept backing out for many reasons, mostly for embarrasement. But if enough people think the game is decent enough, maybe we could tell Kevin the game is worthy of a small exclusive review for the mag!

He has his own fanbase.

The comic was the best part :lol:rybe1025

Great comic.

Question for SW game players: I just started today and played for a bit (it's great so far) and I'm up to the part where you add the 'annoying' Animorsfan (not verbatim) to your party, then you go talk to that king, and then animorsfan pops out and says something about going to meet some guys next to a blue house... where the hell do you go after that? I searched the whole town and found nothing.

Check the whole town for a house with a blue roof, the biggest one is the one.

[spoiler] The blue house is south(maybe even the southermost area, on the right and you enter from the side. [/spoiler]

Oh crap how did I forget SW the game.... I got to that part in the early version where when you got to that one part the game was slow for the rest of the game glitch, and was too lazy to redownload it.

downloading now.

The manticoren (yes thats the correct plural) should be represented by a scorpion.verbtex

apparently a manticore is some sort of duck/beaver thing, or at least says SW the game.

though a scorpion would be sheer win :P

It should be a giant flame-spewing octopus with wings and a belly button ring.

I designed the manticore to be a Platypus:

It's part amphibian, part mammal, and part Kangaroo like. In other words, a mammal that lays eggs and keeps them in his pouch.

Because it's a mix of different species, I thought it would be a good contender for Manticore.

There should be a System Wars MMO with a pvp system allowing you to gain and lose territory :Plettuceman44

Expensive.
