Computer games?

I am either very into Counter-Strike, TFC, or Quake ...or I am completely against them and trying to focus on other things. In as much as I am on summer break, I have been playing a bit of TFC lately. During school, though, I tend to forget about it and focus on my truck and doing well in my classes.

Computer games?

I play:

- Battlefield: 1942
- MOHAA
- RTCW
- Postal 2 (cause it's so damn funny)
- Counter Strike (every once in a great while since that game is pretty much played out)

I will be playing Star Wars: Galaxies later this month when it comes out. I've been waiting forever for this game and I don't care that it's going to cost $10.00/month to play it. I'll pay.

My son plays Counter Strike in tournaments, makes money and prizes. I play a hand of solitaire or reversi about once a month. I never did get into computer games. They just don't feel like the real thing. I need a connection to the seat of my pants.

I can beat pretty much anyone at pretty much any RTS. Though my fav. is probably empire earth.

Warcraft 3 is to unfair with the hero's (run your hero around level him up then go deal death to all)

My brothers have been playing Ultima online for the past 4 years, I used to play but one day I woke up and realized how much of my life I was wasting playing it (and it was affecting school and such as well)

I'd wake up. Check UO, go to school. come home play UO. Goto work. eat while at work. talk about UO. come home...play UO. repeat.

Not good ;/

I used to play MUDS, Evercrack and DAoC. One day I realized life was passing me by while I spent 5+ hours a night trying to get a little experience so that I may too be ub3r and L33t. Now I just sit back and play whatever the latest demo is. Right now I play the Battlefield 1942 demo. It's free, lots of folks still online at anytime. I can log in, blow things up for a while, goof off and log out. I dont have to commit hella hours just to get anywhere. I'm done with the roleplay type games for now, total waste of time. Plus, no one roleplays anyhow. Its all d00d speak and a pissing contest anyhow. Now the old MUDs way back in the day were FUN, people actualy developed a character.

Ok I'll shut up now

It seems that a lot of people fall into the hole...The worst cases I have seen are UO and EverQuest.

I used to be like that when I played Quake 1 when I was like 12 and 13...Bad times I tell ya, bad times.

I used to play SC alot...but I like the AOE style engine better. I'm more into the epic scale...where I can grab say a TON of units and throw them at you

Empire Earth still remains my fav until I'm shown something better.

True, I think it would be nice if you did not have that supply cap...but as Zerg in is almost impossible or useless to reach the supply cap...I mean 200 hydralisks? or 400 zerglings?

Lol,

I can see where your coming from. But think about the wartime games where there is SO many unit choices. Where its more about strategy then knowing which guys can take out which guys.

In EE for example I come in with war elephants + chariot archers + hero + swordsmen + calvary + artillery. It makes for a much more strategic game on a bigger playing field.

Again thats just my choice. SC was a GREAT game for many years and Blizzard is still one of my top 5 companies.


BTW did any of you play Motor City Online? I was a beta tester then came back on months later to find out that it hadn't really gotten as big as I'd of figured I guess it was to technical for some and the guys playing got to good and then it got kinda stupid...

Oh, well if I had time (and when I do) I've cleared Diablo 2 (1 week before it hit store shelves. Then bought it cuz it's a good game and I wanted the collectible edition) MOHAA I used to play, got kinda bored of it though.

All the classics. Never got into the hunting/fishing games though used to have a bass game for SNES back in the day...

+ I have X-Box, PS2, PS1 etc;


;-)


But "Those who have money to get nice things, rarely have time to use them. Those who have no money, have lots of time to use things they dont have"

One of my favourite sayings of all time.
