Been a game player for many years and I think every format has it's time and place, I love FPS's and indeed still play for a Wolfenstien Enemy Territory clan. I still play NeverWinter and Guild Wars when in the mood and Empire Earth and the like still make me giggle, specially when you send a load of cybers against rock throwers:D. as I say, depends on the mood, sometimes I'm happy to sit and struggle my way through a game (one section on Q4 on nightmare took me about 2 days) other times I like to ramp up the cheats and go in all guns/swords/axes/rockets (delete as applicable) blazing.
On a cautionary note... DONT HAVE CHILDREN IF YOU PLAY GAMES!!! So far i'm addicted to Disney's Toontown, Lego Star Wars (the new one is awesome), Runescape and a vast collection of shockwave games...not good for married life when the kids go to bed and the wife keeps saying "you coming to eat with me?" and your reply is "yeah, I just need to beat these last 10 cogs to get my next gag, be there in a minute" As we all know, a gaming minute = about 3 hours real time. I'm sure I'd be divorced by now if it wasnt for the fact that the kids keep asking me to help when they get stuck
I like the "upto" 24mbps in the UK, reality is that only a small percentage of inner cities are currently enabled for that sort of speed. Dont get me wrong it's coming to the sticks but I live in a field and I want it NOW!!

This was inevitable. The only thing that amazes me is that people genuinely thought this would go somewhere
But I have to say, "it turned out nice again".
See in Scotland we dont have Ipods yet, but ukele and banjo crime has gone through the roof
