What games are you playing?

Re: What games are you playing?

Spicoli,

Nah... Diablo isn't a shooter game like Doom. It's more of a roll playing fantasy. Your view is from up above and you move your character along on their quest. Along the way you can gather armor and tools to help you, and you fight some pretty gnarly looking creatures. Keith usually plays the Sorceress and can conjure, I have played a few times and I played the Amazon with a bow and arrow.
It's actually pretty cool. Careful though, it can suck your life away. [img]/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img]
I'm serious too... Keith got addicted it to it real bad a few years ago. So bad that I had to destroy his old game to get him back to reality. [img]/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Games are fun and all, but I just cannot understand playing them for hours and hours and hours on end. Much like watching television or surfing the internet I suppose... it sucks your life away. Get outside and say Hi to your family once in awhile. Pick up your guitar!

Whoops! Sorry for the rant! Hahaha!!

I was hooked on Diablo II for the longest. Just started getting back into it. God knows how many hours of my life I wasted on that thing. When I think about it, if I were playing guitar for that long, I'd be a Steve Vai by now. How depressing is that...

Ain't that the truth. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Diablo II is considered a MMPORG(?)...mass multi player online role playing game...something like that. You're online with all sorts of people and you see them on your screen. Kind of like chat with action figures. You can get together and go on quests and fight some pretty hairy monsters. You can fight each other if you want. You increase in skill level and pick up some cool armor and weapons, etc.

But Diablo II is supposed to be old school now. The new one is called Warcraft. Same company I believe. Same concept, but the graphics are mind blowing. And you can get a 1st person shooter perspective unlike Diablo II where you're watching/controlling your character from a remote perspective (like watching pieces on a chess board is the best analogy I can think of).

There was an article in NY Times about Warcraft. It's supposed to be setting the MMPORG world on its head because it's so intense. But I'm staying away from it. I got addicted to Diablo II to the point where my arms were hurting. No more of that.

BTW, if anyone wants to read the NY Times article about Warcraft, PM me, I can send the text to you, but I can't link to it (subscription required).

Re: What games are you playing?

I wanted to try Warcraft, but my PC is considered old now (it might still work, but I hate having a half assed system with choppy graphics). Another depressing thing...I spent a lot of money to max everything out and now it's dated. Gonna build the next one by myself and hope it's cheaper.

Re: What games are you playing?

PS2:
Devil May Cry 3
Tekken 5
Metal Gear Solid 3 (beat a few times, going back for all the "Goodies")

Xbox:
Thief 3 (in the Insane Asylum/Orphanage and keep turning the game off cuz it's too spooky [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] )
Halo 2 (for the billionth time [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img])
DOAXVB - Yes, the hacked Nude version [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]


PC:
3D Live Pool - you can change the game's textures (pics on the walls, tv screen, balls, table cover, etc) to whatever you want. So far I've got a Jackson/Charvel setup with catalogs on the wall and Jenna on the TV, a Skully 8-ball with C/J cue ball, and a "hottest nude chicks I could find on the internet" setup, with Karen MacDougal on a bear skin rug as the table top. Makes it damn easy to miss easy shots [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

I bought it cheap because 2005 is coming out excellent control not a button masher and you really need to set stuff up it is pretty realistic. I just came out punching with Lennox Lewis vs Roberto Duran first fight and Duran knocked me out 1st round LOL... You will literally just tire yourself out if you go nuts.. It is like real boxing and a lot of the fights go for decision

Probably easier to go out and say hi to people when it's not 30 degrees and snowing down there, eh? [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] I'm so full of excuses it's sickening I tell ya! LoL, oh man Em, my sister did the same thing to me. I was hooked on that game so bad she took it right out the computer and cracked it in half [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]. Good thing too, made me go outside and see the sun, got a nice tan, make a new friend, lol. Ah well, think I'm gonna take the advice now and go play some guitar or something. Lata all!

Hey Irfaan!
Ummm... yeaaah. Whoopsie! I forgot it's still winter today. [img]/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img] [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] I suppose it would be kind of inconvenient to shovel your way out of your house to look for a non-existant sun. I'd rather hole up and be comfy inside too!
Here's to your great sister for helping you out of your rut: [img]/images/graemlins/toast.gif[/img]

Warcraft... oh yeah. We have that one too. A few of them, I guess there is more than one? Keith (back in his addict days) would play a bunch of his squadron buddies over the internet at night and they were wicked serious about it.
One dude had a slow connection which slowed everybody down. You can chat while you play, and everybody else would laugh at him telling him his little guys were so slow they had to use walkers. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Alright, I'll shut up now. [img]/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Re: What games are you playing?

-Sierra's SWAT 3 over LAN with my brother, takin' on the terrorists and saving the hostages together. Game was released in 2000, and it's set in 2005. We're still playing it and we've caught up to its year when all countries are supposed to sign a nuclear abolishment treaty. Awesome game.



-Sierra's SWAT 4 is coming out in a few months and I had the chance to play the demo recently. I'm definitely going to buy it to replace SWAT 3!



-And of course, online poker, like Illumina said above. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Re: What games are you playing?

SWAT 3 is that old already? Man, I played the ARSE off that demo when it came out.
