Bioshock - The real deal...

Excellent, EXCELLENT, funny as hell review of Bioshock.

With an accent.

Also, be sure to read the creds at the end. Some funny shizznit there too....

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/ar [...] n-BioShock

I was reading an article by Michael Yon and he was talking about how Iraqis also play computer games and do what every kid does. This article is at least 2 weeks old at this point.

I'm not sure of the release date of Bioshock, but the Iraqis already had it and were playing it. Apparently they liked it as well.

I'm at work and been doing stuff.. don't have time.

I created customized network installs of Office 2k7 Standard/Pro. Exciting.

Ok, the video is funny.

I like the wrench part. Ah, but its a different wrench!

The only game I play right now is BF2.

I tried playing CS:S but that game fcuking blows. I can't believe people like that game.

If you still have CS:S, there is a guy on another site that is doing a full workup of the WTC (not in game mode, just model).

From the renderings I have seen it is pretty good. I have not been able to get it to work right on my system though. (I got CS:S with HL2.....)

CS:S blows.. just as most of the Counter Strike series after the original.

All people do is throw grenades for 5-10 minutes.. and when they run they shoot the last couple people alive.

I like games that require more than blindly throwing frags and hoping to get a kill. geez.

I never liked UT'99 either.

Too much jump and random shooting.

I remember mech warriors too. blah.

Duke Nuke'em was good... when you could do the hologram thing.
I was a big fan of Rogue Spear. I liked the slower, more strategic games that were more realistic.

Now games are all the same, bringing nothing new to it. I was a big fan of Warcraft until III came out.. and the Heroes thing, while cool, ruined it.

That was cool...

I'm playing BF2 ATM as well... Well, not RIGHT now, but it's in my DVD drive.

hmm, since we're mentioning online games, have to say red oprchestra is the great. Well not isf you like something as random as bf2, in RO where your gun aims is where the bullet goes, something that the makers of BF2 can't quite understand.

yeah most "battlefield" games suck dick, i mean its cool that you can have a massive force attacking another massive force but the really didnt pay attention to the whole aiming thing, like you said, SS. although i did enjoy the 1942 DC mod, it was pretty good.

if you want to find a different mod thats good for BF2, try "Project Reality"

its all decent although its still built on the BF2 engine.

*hates MMORPGs with a passion, doesn't really play games anyway*

But you LOOOOOVE the nerds that use them.


Irony, meet your spokesperson (It all starts with a name TS!!!! ;P)

I got bored with the game after a couple days of trying it out.

I was playing an office like map.. for nearly 3 minutes they were throwing frags back and forth down an alley kind of way. I went downstairs, got a cup of coffee, came back up, and still had to wait until people ran out of them and started actually shooting.

The so called Flower Grenades won't kill you.. but after dodging them for 3 minutes, you can take some damage, or 5-6 can kill you if you get caught by the other idiots behind you blocking you.

I liked America's Army.. when people started tossing frags randomly or over buidlings, they changed the game that if you threw it into a certain area, the frag would just disappear. That eliminated the CS style of randomly throwing frags.

I like strategic games.. CS really isn't even fun. Though, I found America's Army to be more realistic and fun. Seems like the English all play that game.. only found a couple Americans and then I had to listen to everyone scream into their mics, "Watch the friendly fire from the American."

Which, I admit, I did laugh as I shot my teammates.

The game would be better if there were no frags allowed. Period. I could easily run around shooting and killing people. I just got annoyed by the constant barrage of frags in the choke points.

yeah you played, cs_office. heh. play scout_knives,

Yeah but that would get boring after a couple rounds at best.

ADD.

FFS that's the second time I've heard that is less than a minute. WTF is going on? There are nerds everywhere. I'm off to get some food and possibly hit the battle cruiser.

As for UT, the best part of that game was the community participation.

My favorite maps and mods wee all created by people playing the game, not the original creators.

It made for really good fun when you played maps like Zeitgeist, or a mod like Dr. Strangelove (ride the redeemer!).

You also needed good people to play. You get stuck with a bunch of adolescent whiners or spawn campers (or even worse, hack/botters) that are not out to have fun only to cause trouble and you will be on and off within the hour.

I never really got into CS:S probably for that reason. the community was, generally, more juvenile.

Hopefully with games like the new Far Cry, Crysis, UT3 and the like, we can get some games that have the shoot-em-up adrenaline but that can also have a bit of strategy involved to liven things up for the non button-mashers.

Who knows.

I like games that are more strategic and precise. I liked America's Army because people would get restless after a minute and make mistakes..

Games where you volley back and forth until someone makes a mistake and you take advantage of it.

UT was run around, keep moving until you caught someone off guard. Games where once you're dead, you're dead until the round is over are more my style. CS:S does this poorly though.. its a fast paced game intended on getting more rounds in while giving up quality of play.

I'd rather play a quality game than play more rounds of a crappy game. Except that Arrow Masters game everyone got hooked on. haha

UT also had a LMS mode (last man standing) Rise.

It all depended on what server you were on.

Also, games like CTF were usually spammy, but had more of an underlying plan of action associated with them.

Mods like Team Fortress were also fun to play.

Oh, if you want more strat in a futuristic game, you may want to see if Tribes is still running. That was a tough one to play as a spammer. You had to pick your armor type (Light, medium, heavy) and your loadout depending on your selected armor.

You had guys that could deploy supply stations, and turrets and the like, snipers, mortar, just about everything. And your guy was FAR from invincable.

It was a tough one to get the hang of though..... And if you did not play with people you were used to/teaming with, you got wiped by more organized groups....


If you want more realism, try the Rainbow 6 group. LV was nice.

I played Planetside for the first month.. it was cool for a bit but there was no point in what you were doing. You gained nothing.. then everyone quit playing and no one was around.

It had a nice concept though.

So that's why I never get to talk to you on AIM or MSN anymore then Mikey

Oh hell yeah, enough of that talk now or the screen will start getting blurry

I'll say nothing then about his glistening helmet pushing deeply inside you [/unfair]
