Hey, I found his 'caught with his pants down' 1st post amusing, but still contemplating whether the internal chuckle it raised is worthy of wasting a Funny mod point.
Hmmm...not sure the control freak type-A OCD in me will like that. Wish I could give it a try somewhere. Someone must rent PS3s with games here in Melbourne:).
Yeah, played most of those. FC1 was great, I agree. FC2 just couldn't warm to the setting & the constant attacks of Malaria were annoying. Crysis 2 I preferred over #1 (that had the really annoying alien levels at the end I didn't like much - similar to Half-Life back in the day he he). Yet to finish C2 - about 1/2 way - tx for reminding me! Deus Ex I never liked, as much as I tried to - the latest one I played a couple missions & haven't gone back to it. FEAR was just too hard on my nerves so I stopped a few levels in.
No AI to speak of, but I loved Serious Sam - pure mayhem & carnage!:) Best FPS for my money in recent years would have to be either Bioshock (I came to it late), or Stalker, or, going back a bit further RTCW, which I played through about 4 times, twice on the hardest setting. The new Sniper Elite V2 isn't all bad either.Some of the CODs/MWs are palatable, but nothing like the impact MOH:AA had back in the day. I must be on e the few who liked Timeshift and Singularity. Medal of Honour Airborne didn't grab me, same for the new Wolfenstein & Syndicate. Metro 2033 looked promising, but my system just wasn't up to the busy fights (ATI 4870, bleh). Online it's Wolfenstein:Enemy Territory (+ original to some extent) - tried many, many other online fps, but none will ever grab be like this did, and with just 5 maps & free to play! Of course, there were dozens of good fan maps back in its hay day.:) Lots of other great hybrids (e.g. Borderlands, Dishonored) as well as squad-based shooters & fps rpgs. An interesting fps if you haven't tried it: E.Y.E Divine Cybermancy - not for everyone though.
To be fair guys, they aren't really counterfeiting it, per se. More like laundering it repeatedly as they adjust the value in their favour. Only problem is, as every housewife knows, you can only launder shit so many times before it falls apart!
Hey, you can even pay off foreign governments to let you arrest people on false charges, at the same time as you seize all their domains & assets, both business & personal, as well as 3rd party IP & data as collateral damage. Just ask Kim Dotcom. Might is right & there is nothing mightier than the almighty dollar, as we al know:).
I think 'due process' in the US got a major rewrite during the Clinton era. Justice is for the just and the poor only it would seem. If they can seize human beings & detain them without any substantive evidence required, then I don't think web domains are high on the list of human rights violations you should be concerned with. Just sayin...
Can anyone recommend an 8K ultra hi def system with 22.2 surround sound for under a grand? I also need a list of filthy Asian pr0n that's out in this format. TIA!;)
1. This guy in Jersey - he's a licensed exporter/freight forwarded with a customs license I take it? 2. Isn't there an assumption that most other countries outside the US even know what 'NFL' stands for, or would want to watch it, much less buy junk paraphernalia related to it..?
BAH! I never left high sec space & thus was never at risk. But then I saw the writing on the gankfest wall after a couple month & that I could only progress if I sunk to the lowest common denominator the game was aimed at i.e. sociopaths, narcissists and other red-headed stepchildren.:) Seriously, you could only get so far & continue to enjoy this 3D excel spreadsheet, without getting into a clique, or taking risks in lower sec space, which I, as a proud mmo carebear since 1995, was not going to fall for. Therefore, I win MUHAHA!!!
WoW was a huge success commercially due to 3 main factors:
1. The Blizzard name 2. you could run it on a toaster 3. it appealed to non-gamers, who didn't even know what 'mmorpg' meant & was aimed at them as an online gaming entry point; housewives who's sum total gaming experience was Tetris on a dumb phone fell in love with WoW, for various reasons (another whole discussion)
Heh, you have to feel sorry somewhat for an AC who would say something like that. Unless he's trolling of course:)...proud non-raider with over 20 years of mmo gaming. Haven't raided once. Can't even stand to hear the term.
That level in Doom would have been the ultimate risk vs reward scenario/dilemma , except you couldn't bypass it in order to progress, from memory. The Pavlov's dog in me had to have that new shiny weapon one way or another!:)
Agree completely with your last paragraph. I witnessed the pinnacle of dumb AI with Load Runner on the Apple IIe *blush* back in high school in the late 70s lol! The 'AI' behaved according to discrete, predictable rules (ala Pacman), but was still more & more challenging as you got to later levels. This glut of shooter 'AI' in the past 20 years, starting with Wolf/Doom hasn't really gotten any smarter at all. Here's a big tip devs: random AI better AI, or in fact 'intelligence' at all. The last time I saw any intel in a shooter was Wolf:ET against online power-gamers:). I guess we're still a long way from any game passing the Turing test, even in their limited environments.
Is there an age range/limit for anime porn masturbation...?
Or is there a list somewhere to acceptable people/objects one should masturbate to? Really, I'm curious. I may have been doing it wrong all this time.:-/
After watching videos of Journey I almost went out & bought a PS3, just to play that one game. Without knowing if it had the depth of gameplay I usually prefer in my games, or was just an immersive 'exploration of the senses' type game. But it looked awesomely different, so even for just a few hours play time (and a half-ddecent Bluray player!) I thought it would be worth it.
But then I shook it off when I realised that I would no longer be able to call myself an elitist, die-hard, PC-only gaming grognard, but rather put myself in the console cretin crowd category, so I quickly put that idea to rest by falling on my testicles instead.:)
Ahhh, a passionate gamer after my own heart! Even though I skipped the whole EQ era, your expose reminds me of the finer moments of AO and SWG, in spirit. I did play a lot of EQ2 & unfondly remember defecting from the good to the bad side, where near the end of the betrayal quests I had to camp a mob that only spawned every 9hrs or so. Well, after a week of camping I *finally* saw it, but someone else tagged & bagged it (ask me how happy chappy I was?;), but I got it on the next day with some guildies who had alts in Freeport, though the guild was based in Qeynos. Really ridiculous after all that, as I hated the Freeport look & feel & relegated that necro to being a guild sage making spells/scrolls for all the guildies, eh.
I have a weird mmo history, given that dial-up was very flakey down under until well into the 90s. I played a bit of M59, + a lot of Quake locally on my ISP/peers, then kinda skipped the UO/EQ eras & jumped back into online gaming early 2000s with D2. After that my mmo career really exploded with later games like CoH, LOTRO, GW & others. I flat out refused to reward Blizzard with subbing to WoW, for what they did to D2 & how they treated the fan base during the mass exodus. I finally caved when my guys at the previous job (who knew my utter disdain for all things Blizz & WoW) bought me the base game as a piss-take more than anything. Well, 6mths of 'happy' gaming later I finally took my finger off the WoW-trigger & fell back to earth...*blush*
Of all the mmos worth mentioning that I've played to a significant extent, the one that I would say for my tastes was the most satisfying & enjoyable (grind aside), would be a toss-up between CoH or LOTRO, with GW2 now fast taking the mantle/title. Those 2 in the early days, if you were a part of them at the start of all the buzz & hype, were something to be seen & experienced, indeed. Great gameplay, great communities, great fun! OTOH, much anticipated mmos like SWTOR left me wanting after just 6 months & bemoaning the lost opportunity.
I guess the question is, will any true gamer or game lover say on their death bed 'I wish I had all those hours back', or will they fondly recollect the many virtual worlds & friends they spent so much time with...? I'm hoping mine will be the later, or else I will be one very sad & lonely old man otherwise.

Cheers dude. Quick question: can you only play with companions online, or is there a split-screen local/LAN option for 2 players?
What's wrong with playing Diplomacy or Risk is you want to understand conflict better? ;)
I also liked the ATITD mmo the couple Tellings I played, but that's more a social simulator than a mmo (plus it's *very* grindy).

Wow. You guys are so fucked!
So basically, DHS protects stoopid ppl from themselves by circumventing Darwin's principles? Got it.

I have a couple questions:
1. This guy in Jersey - he's a licensed exporter/freight forwarded with a customs license I take it?
2. Isn't there an assumption that most other countries outside the US even know what 'NFL' stands for, or would want to watch it, much less buy junk paraphernalia related to it..?
They are jeopardising the payola big content needs to pay off the politicians who control the DHS officials. Even I know that & I'm a skippy! ;-p

Playing The Sims is void of meaning. My head nearly sploded when I saw that the trilogy holds the #1, 2 & 7 spots of all-time best selling PC games.
Tautologies are the most tautological of all compound propositions...? Ahem.
