    November '08: What are you playing?

    After resisting for a couple years, my friends have finally convinced me to check out some of the Online computer RPGs. I spent about 2 weeks looking at Guild Wars, and now I am in my second week of WoW. The experience is far better than I expected it to be. I think having friends ready to...

    September '08 - What are you playing?

    Anybody here play Monster Hunter Freedom 2 for PSP? I read an article recently that praised this series for its complexity (and mentioned a phone book size strategy guide). I like the sound of this. However, I have no idea how the game plays. Anybody out there who can give a rundown of...

    September '08 - What are you playing?

    I was finally able to get past my original distasteful reaction to the D&D Tactics (PSP) interface. Now that I can get past the UI and am getting immersed the story/action, I find it to be a pretty fun game. Plus I get to play as a Psychic Warrior, which is pretty cool since we never get use...

    August '08 - What are you playing?

    Here is new question for all of you Oblivion players, past and present. Everytime my character hits level 2 (hey...I just started), the program crashes. It doesn't crash after I adjust my stats (as I have seen some reports of), but crashes right after I get the message about how I feel "like...

    Do powers reduce combat originality?

    I think your players just need a little more time to get comfortable with the new rules & system. Once they have got a good feel for the "box", it will be easier for them to think outside of it. I'd also suggest not to be too obvious about the potential benefits of certain stunts or daring...

    August '08 - What are you playing?

    Yeah, I have ended up doing the exact same, a quicksave and a normal save each time. And the funny part is that it is so inconsitent. Sometimes the quicksave won't load. Sometimes the normal save wont load. Sometimes neither of them will load and I can only get the game operational by...

    August '08 - What are you playing?

    Out of curiousity, do you have the issue where: a) the program never exits correctly (always errors back to Windows) b) half the time, the saves don't load properly. I assuming its one (or more) of the mods causing this, but man...so frustrating...

    Books - The Traveller by Johnny Twelve Hawks

    I'm completely with you there. In another version of the thread that got eaten, that was a book that I compared it to. I completely agree with you about Cryptonomicon. I give a copy of that book to everybody that I know that is a book reader. I think I've bought about 30 of them so far...

    Books - The Traveller by Johnny Twelve Hawks

    I read this book about 2 years ago. It was truly one of worst written books that I have ever read (outside of teen-target fiction). Problem is, once I start a book, I can't stop until I finish it...so I powered through the book and by the end I resented the author quite a bit. However...the...

    Where I've Been: DJing

    That's great stuff. I'd definitely show for those tunes. The only thing that I see you missing that I'd love to add in would be some Slick Idiot. Oh...and I'd play more Pigface...just on principle. Glad to hear that you are connecting back with your love of music. I just reformed my...

    (PC) FPS game recommendations

    I've actually played both Max Payne games on my PS2. I enjoyed them quite a bit, though I have to admit that even though the sequel looked better, it felt "off" as far as controls went. Are any of the "horror"-y FPS worth looking at? F'rex Condemmened, Manhunt, etc... I played Clive Barker's...

    (PC) FPS game recommendations

    I remember hearing a lot about that game a while ago. It does sound right up my alley...thanks for reminding me. Did it get a lot of mod-content created for it, and if so, what should I be looking for?

    (PC) FPS game recommendations

    So, I spent most of the last 2-3 years playing old PS2 role playing games and ignoring the PC game market (with the exception of repeatedly playing my beloved Jagged Alliance 2 and Fallout 2). I recently upgraded my PC, and find that I have an itch to play a good brainy FPS. Here are a list of...

    [PSP] D&D Tactics - Thoughts?

    Its a very thorough and accurate turn based D&D 3.5 game. The interface is clunky, not necessarily bad design, but because it has to do A LOT with the 6 button the PSP provides. I like the concept of the game but it is hard to really play a game that requires that much time spent using the...

    JA: Deadly Games running on DOSBox

    Just dusted off my old copy of Jagged Alliance: Deadly Games, and got it installed an running using DOSBox. I am nearly tittering in retro/nostalgic glory. Now just need to see if I can use Hamachi to impersonate a LAN connection so that I can play it with friends over the internet. Ah...
