That wasn't my intent. I was just stating that I'm a twitch gamer at the core, and expressing my distaste for MMOs, especially the crafting games within them, "mining" for example.

What about RTS or TBS, or a combination of both. Whenever i got a bit bored with FPS, i played one of the Total War games.

I was hooked on Shogun: Total War for nearly a year, it's still one of my all-time favorites alongside C&C: Red Alert (plus the expansions) and Total Annihilation. And I still play Diablo 2 and StarCraft from time to time, but I think my twitch nature has something to do with Sonic the Hedgehog, Quake 2 and Unreal.

At a local GoodWill (donation store), I found a copy of Guitar Hero III for the 360 for $10. I'm going tomorrow and trading it in at GameStop for $30. It'll be nice if I could get something to turn around from there too.

They had a copy of the Orange Box for PC for $8. I would have bought it if it had the key. Chances are some guy bought it, used the key, then donated the game and wrote $50 off his taxes.

I also bought Golf for the NES for $2, and a PSX/PS2 AV cable for $2. That place can be really great sometimes image

Edit: Dammit. I just found out that though today GameStop was doing an additional 30% in trade deal. That with my card would have yielded 40%, or an additional $12. So, it would have given me $42 in credit.

It would work miracles if people used it efficiently. In Counter Strike, no one ever rounds a corner and jumps back shooting and then says "1 on the left, 2 on the right". Usually people use it as a tool to annoy people (ring ring ring ring.....mute).
I'm sure it's a great tool if your in a clan though. I imagine they use it much more efficiently.
You need the right community. Frosh year of college, when CS was still in the betas, we got that kind of action on the private server on the campus network. Likewise, for the NS comment above... before the addition of deathmatch maps, NS had a fairly classy playerbase. You could vote out a commander you didn't like and there were players who tended to specialize in commanding. Even on the better pubs, you typically got a competent commander who was at least trying his best. And honestly, the games where you didn't never lasted very long.

I'm sure Gwil will agree, it is a great tool in games like tfc. For defense, your first defense line can quickly inform the flag defenders which way the offense is coming in, etc..

Without a doubt - voice communications are indispensable for certain games, TF2 being the current prime example. I agree about needing the right community for publics, I only tend to speak on my regular servers. Having said that, speaking on DoD: Source yesterday seemed to wake up the server and lots more joined in when it had been silent before.

People only understand me when I slow down, and when I smooth out my accent, which can be difficult in the heat of battle.

I'm thinking about giving Cabal Online ( http://www.cabalonline.com/ ) a try during the upcoming winter break (looks a bit WOW-like). Also very nice that it's free.

Anyone tried it?

everyvideogame.com - classic NES-era video games emulated in Java, playable right in your web browser. I recommend playing Altered Beast if only to see the hilarious nut kick animation.

"RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE!"

Altered Beast owns. We had four copies for the SEGA 16-bit. Don't ask why!

np!

So does it seem good? I've a friend who played it quite a bit. According to him there are services that you can pay for, so if you want to enjoy the game fully you'll have to pay.

I think I'll give it a try this weekend. I'm so looking forward to the winter break, when I will let myself become a complete nerd and play all day (more likely all night) long.

I found this site. Looks like there's quite a few free MMORPGs out there.

Goddam Altered Beast was fun. Do you remember how muscled the powerups would make you look? The last stage of buffness was hilarious, you could barely see his head over his pecs.



Reckless disregard for childrens well being, women and nothing but utter contempt for other cultures.

I'm downloading Cabal Online right now. Hopefully it'll be playable on my current crap connection. I'll let you know my first impressions...

Alright.. took all day to download it, just to discover the file was corrupted <img src=" SRC="images/smiles/sad.gif">. Anyway, it's downloaded and installed. I've exams comming up, so I might wait until after them to start play.

I'll let you know as soon as I've started playing. Are there any benefits/differences between the three different servers?

Just heard of this site: www.chilirec.com

I'm just trying it out myself. It seems to be a website where you can create your own music list by recording almost 600 online radio channels. The tracks are then added to your profile where you can search and listen to the tracks and download them if you want to. Apparently, if you record all channels, you'll have more than 50,000 tracks in a day. I have 352 tracks after just a few minutes.

I'm not sure if there are any catches, but seems like a nice, free service so far.

[EDIT]

The interface is a little bit clumsy. You can't browse through all tracks, so you'll have to search for songs. And obviously tracks, genres and artists aren't as neatly organized as you'd want to. This site will come in handy when I hear a track on an online radiostation and want to listen to it again, of if I want to listen to music at another computer than my own.

Half-Life 3 (as in a sequel to Half-Life 2 and not more episodes) has been confirmed by the Lombardi.
