Title: What reasons do you play Trem for?
Post by: Conzul on August 13, 2010, 08:42:32 pm
Just wondering. Since the discussion seems to be in the air. I play because I like aliens. I also like the color scheme. Just so you know.

I play because of the rts and fps feel.  I also enjoy how building heavily influences gameplay, so every game can be different (other fps games like cod depend fully on who's playing).  I also enjoy how aliens are so different from humans, but still are quite balanced. I also love how it's opensource, with a great community. :) Hurray Tremulous

Variety. Trem combines several great elements into one awesome delicious free package. Both 1.1 and GPP are drastically different, which is even better.

I play Trem as a way of relieving boredom, stress and the sense of frustration I get when I can't jack off properly.

A Spork has been questing in multiplayer, hoping that one day, the Magic Increadibly Stupid Glasses would drop from a fallen enemy.

 He would savor the moment as he stooped to pick them up, the feeling of euphoria as he slid them onto his nose...

And he would be complete.

I saw a link to Trem on the Minecraft (also a fun game) forums under the topic of "Awesome Free Games".  I decided to check it out, because reading the about page, it seemed pretty amazing.  I like the fact that it is both an FPS and a bit of an RTS at the same time.

The models and graphics remind me of Turok, another game I used to love to play.

The only game I play is Tremulous. No other games appeal to me. Occasionally I might play Monster Hunter Tri for a bit. And also my clan mates are pretty cool people to chill with.

So I can tear people apart while I wait for the time when I can do that in real life to real people.

You should probably seek a game with a better physics engine.

Have you considered the medical profession? Specifically, you could be a surgeon. Then you'd get payed to tear ppl up

I started playing because it ran on linux, and looked pretty decent. There was humans I could start on, then graduate to the more complex gameplay of aliens. I play now 'cause I haven't found a suitable replacement (and I'm getting reasonable at aliens now)

The people and community are cool.  and it's open source

The industry is changing. Unfortunately, just because code is open-source doesn't mean you have the right to edit or redistribute it. Google's lawyers are proving this right now. The terminology we need to start using is "Freedom Software".

That is pretty much the definition (http://www.opensource.org/osd.html) of open source.

The terminology we need to start using is "Freedom Software".
Or just use free software (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) which has been used for over 25 years.

I should have said that the meaning of the term, open source, is changing. I'll try and get some bibliography.

Actually, free software may not be open source. "Freedom software" is both free and open source.
