I think i'm going to start playing Gunbound. been about 3 year aways liked games that almost play like worms. But sadly lot has changed more bots and cheep items lol.

brown, are you really going to medical school?

no sir changed my carreer path 2 1/2 years ago or so.  Im pursuing the path of a Chemical engineer hopefully one which will land me a job in the petroleum industry near where I live, otherwise I will be shipped to alberta/bc in order to fuck shit up there. This september is my 2nd year into the 3 year program although I am given a chance to do one 3rd year course as well!

I just discovered MAME. Been playing through Metal Slug in coop. So awesome.

MAME is amazing! one game I recommend is GI Joe. coop on it is fun,. you can get it from romnation which is dot net.

i just finished playing all the games in Yahtzee's Czho Mythos series. that includes: 5 Days a Stranger, 7 Days a Skeptic, Trilby's Notes, and 6 Days a Sacrifice. they were all fantastic, and anyone who hasn't played them definitely should.
now i am currently addicted to Rune Factory 2 on the DS. it is THE best Harvest Moon game ever. it's pretty amazing. in fact imma go play it riht now bye

i think i remember hearing it was one of the worse harvest moons


while not being the worst

I enjoyed Rune Factory 1 for a bit, until I realize that the farming was totally pointless and the action-adventuring was mediocre at best.

Rune Factory (the first one) was pretty awful.  I mean it was great.  It was so great that if anyone wants it, I am somehow managing to sacrifice it on ebay right now.  Drop me a line.

Well yesterday I finally picked up Fallout 3, I've never played any of the Elder Scrolls games (well besides like 10 minutes or so at friends') but I had a general idea of how these games work. So far I'm really enjoying myself and have docked in 8 hours already. Also blowing up Megaton... AWESOME

Assassin's Creed... It's not that bad but hella repetitive. Actually anticipating the sequel though just because of that new footage they showed at E3 looked really promising.

Holy crap I bought that just 2 days ago too! Only I can't seem to get into it much yet. Hours of Oblivion have spoiled me.

I started with Morrowind so I'm more used to it, just not used to playing a character who doesn't go into the unlocked Scyda Neen housesand kills the people indoors XD

Just realised from trying to play Arena on DosBox, that pretty much all Elder Scrolls gamed start with you as a Prisoner, but can't be certain, never played Daggerfall so no idea what goes on there.

Kinda addicted to FFX tho', currently clocked over 25 hours at the Calm Lands. Don't like what boss is coming up though, but I beat Seymour Natus with little problem, due to Grand Summon -> Bahumut draining more than half his HP with Mega Flare. Unfortunately Yuna died before I got Auron to use Shooting Star and finish him off so she lost her chance at EXP.... whoops lol

ahaha, yeah, in daggerfall you don't start as a prisoner. you're shipwrecked in a cave (although you're nowhere near water). what's awesome is that since daggerfall's dungeons were all randomly generated except the really important ones, you can find exact copies of the place you start out in, even down to the debris of the ship. that's pretty good.

I just rented and beat Assassin's Creed. Like the comment above, it is pretty repetitive, but the actual end of chapter assassinations had some variety and I kept pushing myself to get the perfect kill. Hopefully a lot of things will be fixed in the sequel which I am now looking forward to. The thing that got me in the most trouble was the controls. Many times during a heated chase, or when I was trying to make a fast blindside approach to one of the archers, I'd rebound off the wall, fatally jump into a body of water, or Altair would simply refuse to climb up even though his chest was already over the lip of the wall. The comment made most during my playthrough was "Well done Altair, you really ought to drink more."

I also had a minor geek-out moment the first time that the quote "Nothing is true, everything is permitted." came up. I paused the game and added "Hassan I Sabbah, the old man of the mountain..." Of course then I was disappointed that they didn't use Alamut as the Assassin's base, especially since I believe it translates to "Eagle's Nest" and they run the whole Eagle thing pretty heavy with Altair.


Daggerfall, if memory serves, does not start out with a prisoner. Instead you are some trusted agent sent out on an Imperial errand or two. You set out for your destination by ship, get caught in a storm, and wreck - conveniently showing up at the tutorial dungeon to kill/incinerate/sneak by some skeletons. I haven't beaten the main story yet because of the raw number of game killing bugs in it. It seems the npcs generate randomly, and I've had times where the npc I needed to find to finish a quest no longer existed in the game for some reason! Strangely, (maybe from having to dosbox it) the swimming never worked for me - so if any main storyline quest has an aquatic compliment...oh well.

you swim the same way you levitate - using the page up and page down buttons, which is terrible.

I know how it is supposed to work, but my character always got stuck in the water. It worked when I played it on an old 486 back in the stone age, so I figured it was just a problem with the dos emulation.

Picked up Mass Effect once again; played it for a while like a year ago but then I forgot all about it for some reason (I guess I started playing some random MMO or whatever). I've just left the citadel and started to explore all the random solar systems. Too bad finding minerals / doing side-quests is kind of boring + the fact that I'm too much of a completionist to ignore it. Either that or maybe I'm just too spoiled and demanding when it comes to rpgs nowadays.
