Title: Random Gaming Thread
Post by: Korbman on November 06, 2012, 09:56:52 PM
Sooo...

I play games from time to time. Recently Dishonored and Assassins Creed 3 come to mind. Any of you guys game out? Any specific games or consoles?

Oh, and I know Halo 4 just came out as well. I'm not much of a Halo kinda guy, but I've got a few of those Mountain Dew "Double XP" codes if anybody is into them...PM me and I'll send 'em your way.  :D

Nice! I heard good things about XCOM but haven't really put much thought into getting it.

Borderlands 2, however, is something I've been wanting to get for a while. But, it'll have to hold since BLOPS 2 is coming out next week and I've had a preorder for that since June haha

I would like to play the new xcom but have logged many hours playing the older xcom games.  Its really cheap to buy all of them from steam, definitely a worthwhile investment if you like old-school.

You can also get them free but you should probably run them on a windows xp computer, setting up dosbox yourself tends to make the game touchy and I've never really been happy with the results.  (I'm even fairly competent with dosbox, or I used to be...)

I actually create a Windows XP VM on my Windows 7 machine to run some of the older games I like..such as the original Red Alert '95 ;)

Haha awesome!  I am old school.  I still dual and triple boot several systems.  Hoping to get away from this though, I just need to keep one xp license on a real machine around for running a cnc mill then it will be xp mode and vm's from now on!  I am starting to play eve you try that game out?  Its very complicated but pretty cool idea so far, I know if I get in a fight however I will die immediately and the game is very unforgiving--you die then your stuffs are gone!

It's a great piece of software.  What I find really cool is that you can move files from a windows machine to a linux machine (or the other way) and just run them.  really cool for old games when transferring save files, lol.

I have in the past, and it was very addicting. A friend of mine got me playing, and it helped the he had been in the game for years...he helped to get me some sweet ships and upgrades (and cash) right off the bat, which was cool.

Can't say I've played it since then. Allocating time for MMO games is virtually impossible when you have a full-time job after college haha..or at least for me :P

I was hooked on Skyrim a while back. I beat the game and I didn't even realize it.

Omg, games. If I just had more time to play all of them  ::)

  • World of Warcraft
  • Diablo 3
  • Guild Wars 2
  • Eve Online
  • Minecraft
  • Battle Forge
  • Allods Online
  • League of Legends
  • Might and Magic Heroes VI

No scary games for me  ;D

I'm a pretty heavy gamer myself. Not many old school ones, but I have respect for them.

  • Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box
  • Amnesia: The Dark Descent
  • Psychonauts
  • Hitman: Blood Money
  • Trine
  • Portal
  • The Binding of Isaac
  • Half Life 2
  • Garry's Mod
  • Mafia II (Got way into the game, and found out there's a glitch towards the end that doesn't allow you to progress.)
  • Team Fortress 2
  • Sleeping Dogs
  • Rochard
  • Home
  • Saints Row: The Third
  • Deus Ex: Human Revolution
  • Hacker Evolution
  • Left 4 Dead 2
  • R.U.S.E
  • Space Pirates and Zombies

I just realized I was prepared to list pretty much every game I own, which is around 88. Don't believe me? Just check my Steam account. (http://www.steamcalculator.com/id/borninlyoko) I'm kind of an addict :P And I have ones that aren't on steam as well. But anyways, enough of my list. (For the record, that's basically the list of games I('ve) play(ed) actively (in the past))


Title: Re: Random Gaming Thread

Are we talking about games we played or playing as of today?

I used to play a lot more when hanging out at a gaming club..and some good stuff like
Counter Strike, Half Life 2, Quake III, Unreal Tournament, Doom, Duke Nuken, Hellgate London, Diablo 2, Need for Speed Hot Pursuit / Underground / Most Wanted, hm and more can't seem to remember them all.

But now I don't have anyone to play with  :-\

Lol, easier just to quote/modify your list. Would add Dominions series from Illwinter, everything from Paradox (have played Crusader Kings 2 exclusively for a long time), Nethack, and Dwarf Fortress. Don't spend much time with games anymore, though... When I was very young, my Baptist preacher grandparents would let me play Homey the Clown. I'd never seen the skits and still haven't, but I loved the game. I played it a few years ago and wondered how it was possible I could've enjoyed it. They had a very strange choice of games to let us play when young, including Phantasmagoria. It's weird because these are the same people who insisted their daughters and granddaughters not wear shorts and refused to allow "bad music" to play. My grandma was the type to get out of the car at a gas station and lecture someone dare they use "bad" words.

Amnesia, though, has a special place in my heart. I've never been more terrified in my life than when trying to outwit and outrun something which never shows up on the screen, in that little flooded dungeon with the books. I would have to spend a minute to compose myself before chucking some gore into the water and flailing around, trying to get to the switch. When I finished the game, I watched a "Let's Play" of it, and was still terrified when that area came up.

Oh the good 'ol days. I used to be a beast in CS:Source and TF2 back in the day. I remember when Hellgate London came out during my freshman year in college and we had a Dorm party for it, with all of us on the same server.

I've actually gotten back into the Half Life series of late. Played through Black Mesa Source, Half Life 2, and working through all the episodes now ;) ..damn I can't wait until HL:3

The PS3 and the WiiU are really great consoles. I like the Bioshock series, I really think the story is incredible, and i like Skyrim too. I'm a little disappointed that the PS4 doesn't have backwards compatibility though.

Why, I do believe that I found someone that loves nethack more than myself. But seriously - nethack. If you haven't played nethack, and you are reading this, you are hereby ordered by the Department of Awesome Games to stop what you're doing and play nethack.

Are you playing nethack yet? Why not? Go play nethack. RIGHT. NOW.

Nethack's pretty awesome. It was open-source, so there are a bunch of different modifications to it out there... some give it elaborate GUIs for the "modern gamer" - I think one's even 3D and adds sounds. I've always stuck with SLASH'EM, though -- I was a late entrant to Nethack. Nethack consumes virtually 0 resources... great for tablets and whatnot.
