The Secret World Options

[P-girl]

Heh, that's the best way of doing it really. Be a tourist. Take in the sights.

Finally got to Egypt. I try to only proceed with the story when Tenchi is around, and because of our time difference we can only play at certain times.
That being said, have you been keeping up with Moons of Madness? They have an ARG going. They're giving away 2000 keys for The Park, Moons of Madness, and the Black Watchmen. Grand prize goes to NASA.
They only have 2 puzzles so far, coming out with more as we get closer to launch, but I won a key for Moons of Madness. So that's pretty cool :)

The ARG can be found here if you want to check it out.

I'm also on that. (Though I admit I'm kinda cheating.) Also got a key. Yay!
Looking forward to Moons of Madness. I like the mixture of a high tech environment with some nice Cosmic Horror.
(TBH I feel kinda bad since I gave up and asked the answers on the SWL Discord which netted ME the key.... but not the one providing the answers. Whoops.)

I cheated on the "Photon Sphere" answer. Though, I would have hit it soon after I looked it up. The site I was on mentioned it, and I was just typing in key words at that point.

I was a bit disappointed with the newest one because the first answer was kind of spoiled for me because I had the wiki up by mistake. Quickly closed it and solved the next gates on my own.

[P-girl]

The last one had me stuck on the most embarrassingly easy part.
I'm so bad at these....
Yet I still won TWO keys. (One to MoM, one to Black Watchmen, which I already owned, so I gave it to a pal.)

Nice! I only won one key. But it was for MoM, so I'm happy XD
Totally doing a lets play of it when it comes out.

[Ranma]

Have you solved the fourth puzzle yet? I was going crazy until I realized that it was unsolvable for a while XD
Once the ending was "opened" I solved it rather quickly.

[P-girl]

I did but yeah, I was a bit confused until people started talking about the RL part of the ARG.

[Ranma]

Yeah. Unfortunately, I had to work that day. Berlin is about a 5 hr drive away from where I'm at. I would have loved to go.

[Ranma]

Now that it's over, did you win any other games from the ARG? I got the black watchmen and another copy of MoM.

[P-girl]

I got a Black Watchmen key. That said, I had all the games they gave away besides MoM (I really like Alice and Smith and of course, the Secret World.)
That said, it made me play Black Watchmen a bit more and that was a ton of fun. The first 'Season Finale' was pretty amazing.

[Ranma]

I haven't played Black Watchmen, but I'll have to check it out. It looks like a lot of fun.

[P-girl]

It is. That said it's HARD. Totally worth it since the story's interesting, but there's some real brainbusters in there.

[Ranma]

That's cool. I don't mind hard. It'll just make it more satisfying when I solve something.

[Ranma]

Trying to get people into SWL is like pulling teeth XD
Everyone says that it looks interesting but they'd rather play WoW or LoL.

[P-girl]

Sheesh.
I tried but they're either not interested or already playing.
(Still, don't quite grasp the appeal of LoL as a game.)

[Ranma]

Most of the gamers around me only care about competitive play. That's why people like LoL. It's highly competitive. It also has one of the most toxic gaming communities I've ever seen, which is why I stopped playing it.

[P-girl]

Which is really too bad because LoL does have some fun Lore and characters. And all that is wasted on a game that doesn't use any of that.

[Ranma]

Yeah. In the end, the lore doesn't matter. you're not really immersed in the world when you're playing the game. I guess some people don't care about lore, but it always adds to the experience when I'm playing a game where I can really feel immersed in the world.

Hey, I wanted to ask you a quick question. I'm having a dilemma while editing my current lets play for moons of madness. They finally dropped the F bomb while reading text. Do you think I should edit out the word when I say it or just leave it in because I'm just reading what's already there in a mature game. I always try and keep the channel family friendly, but that's a little hard to do depending on what the game is. :/
