    Yo, you can’t just usher in a new age like that. Give a guy some warning. What are you some sort of sea person?

      Time to again plug Eric H. Cline’s “1177 BC, The Year Civilization Collapsed”

      He analyzes a lot of theories linking the Sea Peoples to various destruction sites, though mostly shows how we lack evidence for who caused said destruction in almost every case. I’m still reading it, but quite like it.

        Great book! It doesn’t offer any easy answers, but it does a great job of showing how complex the situation was. It’s also a great look at how interconnected the bronze age was.

        Sounds like you’re some sort of Sea Peoples sympathizer…

      Wow 10 minutes? You are damned fast. By 10 minutes I was still fumbling my way through the abhorrent UI and terrible graphics. The graphics and gameplay were dogshit even for a game back in 2004 so it’s amazing you could accomplish anything in the first 10 minutes.

        OSRS genuinely has one of the better UIs in gaming to this day, and the graphics are only “bad” insomuch as they’re low fidelity, which is the complaint people fall back on when they have no actually valid reasons to critique a game.

        There are more modern versions of runescape, but tellingly no one plays those…

          I also mentioned that the gameplay is dogshit. Chopping trees and making camp fires for hundreds hours or fishing or literally any activity is just a click fest. As you put it the game has no fidelity. Not only do the graphics have no fidelity but neither does the game play.

          It’s a bore fest. Most people who talk about playing it call it a background game.

      Sounds like a good deal!

      One question: What is a Po box? Is that the altar?

      Wait- two questions: who is Nyny? Is that the name of the god you sacrifice the children to?

        Should be some kind of box, right? That they put things inside?

        Also, what are those funny letters after the box? Are they the box name in some distant language?

    What should we call it? Topper? Coppin? I mean, it has to be something good. This is going to define our Age.

      Sounds catchy. I’ve been calling it the Holy Metal of Enmebaragesi, the king in this very city of Nippur, built the House of Enlil.
