Really want to play my FO2 but i's a bitch to make these old games work in newer machines. it lags painfully.


Also, have you guys heard about Wasteland 2 being a fan-funded project. It's really great, I have Wasteland in dosbox but haven't got to finishing it yet.

Good Old Games has versions of FO and FO2 that contain custom made wrappers which work really well.  5 bucks, I think.

Tactics is where it's at for w7 compatibility. That said it always crashed on XP when I first had it. That said most games randomly shat themselves under XP. I reckon if you left minesweeper running long enough it would.

Maybe there's an alien bending cosmics around the moon at my registers.

Is this that little "demo" thing that someone made that was like a super-stylized Legend of Zelda type deal? I have that saved here on my work computer and play it every now and then, it's really decent and I wish it'd be fleshed out into a full game, it'd be really fun, especially if it was on consoles too.
yeah, that thing.

*Insert obligatory Kimoi Girls reference here*
I've read about Starcraft but never tried the thing myself.
Since it's play, not work, play what you enjoy and don't become *frumple*  if you can't do everything. BTW, it turns out "Frumple'"is in the OED meaning wrinkled or rumpled. *Wonders if Orz crinkle up when upset*
Everyone has the right to be himself; wise men know how to,when, and whether to navigate the boundary between their rights and those of others when they collide.

I beat MGS4. I liked it a lot gameplay-wise and I'm the type that doesn't mind a long cut-scene (or hours worth of cut-scenes). But to be honest the story was just OK. I can't help but feel that the only reason it was just OK though was the cheesy and occasionally awkward dialogue making it really hard to follow or take seriously. The story was better in the first 2 games by far. I'd go into more detail other than the dialogue but I don't want to spoil the game for you guys.

***SORT OF SPOILERS*** But I thought the ending (and yes I saw all of it, even the post credits audio) was kind of anti-climatic and mildly depressing.

-----

The next game I decided to give my borthers original Xbox a little attention and play Red Dead Revolver. Which after about 30 minutes I got really bored. The game is painfully repetitive and kind of shallow arcade shooter. Not necessarily because of it aging poorly (it didn't) but overall it felt very lack luster. The game is pretty much

1) short 1-2 second cut-scene
2) you are restrained to a small combat area and have to kill waves of wild west criminals.
3) buy stuff at menu shop for the next encounter
4) repeat.

And the AI is pretty retarded. And there was this boss fight that was ridiculously unbalanced very early in the game, this big guy that moves about 200% your speed that rushes you and causes explosive damage on contact that took about 1/4 of you life each hit and he seemed to be made of near-invincible meat. The only way I was able to kill him was finding a high location where he couldn't reach me and just sniped him to death as he ran around in circles. This went on for 15 minutes straight before he died, and I basically used my entire stock of ammo to do so.

So yeah, not so great work there Rockstar. I'll have to just jump to Red Dead Redemption when I have the money to buy it.

-----

I then tried Kill.Switch, liked the little that I played but then found out its on PC so I'll just play it on there.

-----

Now I'm not sure what to play. I'm thinking Project Gotham Racing, since I loved that game and It's been a while since I'm played a racing game. but I got to wait for my brother to be around so I can transfer it to the xbox from his PC. So now I just twiddling my thumbs, not knowing if I should just start up another game or just wait.

EDIT: Decided to not wait, playing MechAssault, anyone else play it? Its an awesome game.

I'm playing an Oblivion mod called Nehrim. It's pretty good. It's got German voice acting with English subtitles. Although it shares the graphics and skills of Oblvion it could not feel any more different. It's kind a lot more story based and linear and it's much more challenging. I haven't gotten very far but I think it's quite proffessionally done and impressive.

What is it about loosely? I've never heard of it but might check it out.

Also red dead redemption is really good

really really good

I've never played a western game or seen a western movie I liked as much as red dead redemption
 
I'm playing Kotor on my computer when I'm off. Last time I played it I was like 15 and did not really notice as much how well incredibly well written and voice acted it is. And there are a bunch of videos and bits I don't remember I read the comp version had a little more added to it? I like the kotor star wars better than the movies pretty much theres so much more depth to it.
 
The mandalorian and carth onassi. Are those both Baldwin brothers voicing them? Or the same baldwins? Cus I swear carth onassi sounds like alec baldwin. Which is so awesome because he does a great job at it. I think between baldwin and george clooney those dudes are cool. I was watching the fantastic Mr. Fox and he sounds like george clooney, which is also cool as hell.

KOTOR is amazing. Its dialogue and story are DEFINITELY better than the star Wars movies IMO. I want to play KOTOR 2 at some point, heard it wasn't as good though.

I'm already almost done with MechAssault, I spent like 8-9 hours just playing it yesterday, its a real shame there isn't more than 1 sequel. I'd like to see a next or current gen MechAssault. Though honestly it'd be better on PC than then continuing to be on the Xbox consoles.

The writing was arguably better, it's just they cut a lot of content prior to release and it shows. Well worth a play though.

There is a fan made mod that includes a lot of the stuff that was remove from the game(fortunately most of it was still on the disk).

shit, I did not know about that. Now I'm not playing kotor2 till I get home to download that. I don't understand why they didn't already do that officially, its been years. Whatever asshat decided to scrap the kotor series really needs to lose his job.

I like the mmo too but the story is so weak, there is one and its kind of interesting but no depth cus all the multi-play focus.

But I'm not very far into it either so maybe theres more to it. They got some "Children of the dark lord" thing going on where random sith can get possessed by their enigmatic leader dude. Which makes it pretty interesting because you don't really know who the guy is.


I played red dead redemption on xbox. I think I was either the first or one of the first ones that kept saying it was so good. I bought it AWHILE after it came out of sheer luck cus I was bored and its so good. I like the undead version too its alot funnier/quirky.

I assume you were asking me. I haven't gotten too far yet but basically there's a secret society of mages that wants you to be part of their gang and there's some kind of war going on.

Unfortunately, Lucas Art, the extremely poor company it is, told Obsidian to release the game early. And given they weren't willing to wait till the game was finished, they probably weren't willing to pay for a patch or dlc(to be fair, at that time dlc and patches on consoles were new and not built into most games, but that excuse doesn't work for the pc version which was released later I believe).

I wonder if lucas really got into kotor if he'd be willing to make it right?
