Video games sucks. The world is a playground, sitting infront of the TV is missing all the fun

Ive been at uni for about a month now and im rearly missing the PS2 that i had to share with my brother (only way i could get one at the time) and have had to leave at home.

 

I do have my new PC though and i cant get enough of GTR-FIA GT sim racing.

PS3 is going to be fantastic when it comes out next year (better than Xbox 360) and MGS4 is going to blow all games into the weeds!

Spending more than I should on Prog since 2005

Although I currently only have a 19" LCD, I'm planning to buy a 30" display for my computer. I also use it as a TV set, with Windows MCE. I'm really looking forward to playing Counter-Strike: Source at 1280x720 on a 30" display ...

So I suppose your PC isn't equipped with a state-of-the-art graphics card?

One of our puters is a brand spanking new HP.I just don't like sitting at the computer playing games.I like kicking back in the easy chair and playing games on my PS2 and flatscreen tv.



I'm the same way- I thought my console days were over after the SNES, I was determined to only play on PC...and then my wife got me an Xbox. It's just so much more comfortable & convenient to play from the sofa!

Though I still maintain my PC gaming, off and on. There's some PC-only games (stuff like RTS and MMORPGs, mostly) and some games that just do more on PC (lots of Morrowind mods, and I love state of the art graphics...I'm just foolish enough to have a copy of Morrowind & Doom 3 for PC and Xbox ). My 2-year old Radeon 9800 still has plenty of life left in it...I can play Doom 3 on full res with no problem.

BTW progtologist: So far, I like Darkwatch a lot. The only thing is that I've heard that it's kinda short.

I used 2 be a hardcore CS 1.6 gamer... 2 years gaming... (inc one pr0-clan year)... After that I bought HL2 & started playing CS:S quite a lot... If anyone want a match post in the CS:S thread!

I'm also a big Blizzard-fan... Warcraft 3, Starcraft, Diablo 2... love these games 2!

X360 comes out in a month!!!

Are you getting it immediately, though?

I would like to, but unfortunatly as of now I only have $800 of my desired $1300 to $1500 to buy my guitar rig. I can't decide if I want just a guitar, effects processor and an amp, or a guitar, effects processor, head and a cabinet. The latter way will be a bit more expensive. But if I can't get the XBOX360 at launch, I'll get it by Christmastime for sure.

Besides, I don'y think Oblivion will make launch, and PD ZERO is going to be a letdown I think, so It might be better to wait anyway.

Cyggie...what don't you like about the battle system in Tales of Symphonia?

Just asking because I was seriously thinking of buying that game this weekend.

It not that it is bad, it is actually a very good system. I'm just more inclined to the turn-based systems.

Yeah,I love the turn based battle system.That's one of the reasons I liked Final Fantasy X so much.

One of the reasons why I've completed FFX about 3 times.

Haven't you played Spider-Man2?That game blows the first Spider-Man game away.It is open ended and free roaming and you have the whole city of New York to play in,ala Grand Theft Auto.Besides the story missions there are a ton of side missions and secrets to find.The detail is amazing.The first game was very linear and you couldn't even go down onto the street.
