favorite video game

I will be a bachelor for the next two months. What's a good video game to occupy my time?

What system?

Windows Vista.

Right on. I don't know to much about what's going on with PC games. I play on a PS3. The new Battlefield Bad Company (online) is pretty awesome. It may be out on PC too, I don't know.

Just go buy a Playstation or X-Box.

I still play the hell out of Warhawk on PS3. For whatever reason Call Of Duty online doesn't work for my ISP.

Better yet Pete, since you don't have a sailing season as long as my pecker, (ie really short), why don't you get some more boat time, maybe fix them gurgly trunks?

That sounds like work! I really meant at night. I don't watch a lot of T.V.

Pete:

Mahjong Titans that comes with Vista games is fun. Keeps the mind sharp and it is free.

Isn't anyone going to post that South Park video where the kids get addicted to "World of Warcraft" or what ever it was? That was some funny sh!t and kept me from ever playing video games, just the thought of that addiction was enough to scare me off!


Watch out Pete, this could happen to you!

Mass Effect 1 and 2. Epic.

JW: Watercooler? Nice.

I'm not a big gamer but picked up a copy of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and it really is a great game.

There a quite a few free games that are really worth playing:
Battlefield Heroes
Quake Live

Even one of the best sailing games is free, its online community is very active.
Virtual Skipper
And of course SailX

A good single player game is Fallout 3. Pretty fun game.

Don't get sucked into the MMO's :P I play EVE online and it quite honestly will end my soul.

I like real time strategy games with a historical background. "Ages of Empire" was great but it no longer has a following. The algorithms amazed me.

They're scary really.

how about online chess? my friends created a really cool chess community called Chess Jam...

I played chess seriously for thirty years. Perhaps too seriously, in the end I had a "melt down" and only rarely play. Chess went from something I lived and breathed to something I can barely tolerate.

wow... hope that never happens to me with sailing...

Don't take it too seriously, take frequent breaks.

i take a break every time i capsize..

Capsulier arent ya? Where do you fly? You can find me around Juunigaishi, Ikao and I roam Jita for PvP.

OMG!

And I played fallout 3 extensively. I installed a few mods that made the game so much sweeter than it is.

Jita has herpes. I stay away from there. We just got back from a jaunt in Wicked Creek that went nipples up - but was fun at the same time. We're in Gosalav, 4 jumps from Amarr. You can look up my corp - Exploding White Mice.

If you live in the basement of your parents house, Please rasie your hand.

I flew on a Freelancer mod (Asgard) for a looooong time. Most of my guys went to Eve but I hung it up. My PvP was never great and all the gankers out there just wore me out. All I wanted was to poke around and see the awesome coding, but every half hour or so there was another punk missile-spammer in my face.

Kinda hard to get ganked in high-sec unless you're in a hauler with lots of shiny bits in the cargo hold. Missiles are FTL now too so don't worry about them so much.

When was the last time you tried it?

This is the trailer to the latest expansion- Dominion. While they kinda fluff up the details, this doesn't stray from reality to much.

or wish you did, please raise your hand.

i must have changed my browser default language.. i thought this forum was in English....

Gee Pete, this post will surly make you want to run out and get this game (i guess you should get some penicillin ahead of time?)

Funny that this video game thread came up now...

Scroll to Turn off, tune in, trap out!

Not what I had in mind. The military academies and war colleges must be doing something with video, anybody seen it?

Excellent job, Jamie.
You definitely have a knack for that.It's nice to hear a little good news about the Jr. programs.

And Karl's right again.

Good one Jeremy, so we need to get some company interested in coding "Waterwarz" The game where 133t sailing skillz let you earn linden dollars in 3d so you can buy missiles to finally blast those darn PWCs to davy jones' locker!
Or just get them kids out on the water! (Our club has a very successful youth training program BTW) We have plans to launch a couple of into days where people can come for a sail for free. Should be fun!

I finished her up last fall. She already wants a divorce.

Funny I didn't think anybody would be on EVE. When I'm not in a Worm Hole I am based in Poinen. Pulling out of the WH soon since it has been used much lately.

Look me up sometime under "Quarath Fin" or "Hugo Longfellow"
Corp: Black Slag Authenticated

I gave up EVE a while back when I switched roles and ran out of time to muck about.

Mass Effect 3 is out next week. Preordered the collector's edition.
