Gaming Goodness

Posted by michael on from the itchy-trigger-finger dept.

Let's shoehorn a few gaming submissions together: tabby writes "For those not in the know here's the most amazing game I've played in ages. Its a Half-Life mod called Natural-Selection. Try to imagine CounterStrike + StarCraft. Its essentially a multiplayer First Person Real Time Strategy game." real_b0fh writes "I'm surprised no one mentioned it here yet, but Silicon Ice Development has released the beta 2.6 for their very cool Quake 3 Arena mod Urban Terror. Have played it a bit and it features cool things like better weapon hit model, some anti-cheat features, improved maps and some new nasty bugs. Well worth a try if you are into FPS games." And on the lighter side, LSDsmurf reports that there's a patch for Doom III Alpha. Yes, you read that right.

    Does this mean that I might actually be able to get positive FPS now?

    So are these bugs bugs, or are these bugs features?

    Checked out Mr HOSTBOT. Seems cool, but I was a little disturbed by the fact that they sell a Mr HOSTBOT thong in their online store.

    Honestly, people. A thong?
