For all you homos who missed it, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines is now available on Steam

 

[Dead Winter]

Already got it...years ago. Cool game.

 

[El Stormo]

Me too, but if someone didn't pick it up, it's more than worth buying

 

[Dead Winter]

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say you're a Malkavian.

 

[El Stormo]

Nope. True Brujah, all the way

 

[Dead Winter]

I was always partial to the Toreador. Artistic people with a knack for controlling people and bending them to do their will, usually ending in extreme pain and suffering.

 

[El Stormo]

Ah, a poseur, are you?

 

[Dead Winter]

I am. I prefer mind-control and the breaking of bones with my bare hands to the overzealous, neanderthal Brujah and the unpredictable, meth-addict nature of Malkavians. My second choice would probably be the Nosferatu.

 

[El Stormo]

"Poseurs" is the nickname for Toreadors in the WoD universe (Brujah - rabble, Gangrel - outlanders, Malkavian - kooks, Nosferatu - sewer rats, Toreador - poseurs, Tremere - warlocks, Ventrue - blue bloods)

 

[Dead Winter]

Aaaahhh yeah. It's been so long since I played. It's a shame that the main guy in Kindred died...not that the show would've won any awards or anything, but it could've been interesting. I always hated the Ventrue.

 

[El Stormo]

I've never seen Kindred. Was it any good?

 

[Dead Winter]

It was ok...typical Aaron Spelling bullshit. It was quite faithful to the story, however, and that fact alone made it worth watching.

 

[Lord Foul]

You mean aside from the part where they forgot the Tremere existed? Or the part where the Gangrel were all really Brujah? Or the part where the Brujah were apparently Ventrue?

Terrible fucking show.

i would get that game because my friend said it was awesome but it only had like 800x600 resolution and it looked TERRIBLE on my monitor.

The main character was Ventrue, what are you talking about? The Gangrel were the bikers, right? And the big jar-headed dude who played in Cobra who did waaaaayyyy too many steroids in his day was a Brujah, wasn't he? Fuck, it was like 5 years ago when I watched that last...

They only had a handful of episodes, I'm sure they were planning on introducing the Tremere later but the guy died. I'm sure he's sorry he died before the Tremere were introduced.

Bloodlines was fun. I need to play through it again at some point.

I think you're thinking of the OTHER Vampire: The Masquerade. There were two games. The second one came out around 2005...I'm pretty sure it had more than 800x600 resolution.

 

[Lord Foul]

Yeah, Redemption is the older game. Bloodlines was the first Source engine game, came out shortly before HL:2. Excellent game minus some glaring bugs and unfinished content. I've hacked mine to run under 64-bit windows 7 at 1900x1200, still play through it every year or so. Worth the small price of buying it on Steam anyhow.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

I really want to give Planescape:Torment another shot. Please convince me one more time Stormo!
