System Shock 2 is well worth seeking out (I got mine for NZ$5 from Cash Converters.) Sure, the models look poor, but the story and atmosphere are incredible. Known bugs: Some regions of the ship seem to spawn more monsters than elsewhere (e.g. the corridor on level 5 leading to the tram - there always seem to be two arachnids, one assassin, a midwife and kamikaze protocol droid hanging around. Not fun when you need a recharge.)
Half Life: There's a "Game of the Year" edition out with OpForce, CounterStrike and Team Fortress bundled with it. Try getting Poke646 as well if you're going with HL, it's well worth the download. if the low quality models mean that much to you, there's an ongoing project to make hires versions of all ingame models... it's been inactive for a while now, and not all monsters are replaced, but i definatly recommend it if you pick it up.
search for "system shock rebirth"... tsk tsk, a fair weather friend . . . where will you be if Nazis (this time, Undead Nazis!) start knocking on their door?
But I understand the sentiment -- like in the Final Four, which ever team from my state gets there, even though I'm a Chapel Hill Alum, gets my support. NCState was robbed! Chapel Hill alumnus? Cool. I was listening to the radio today and I found it quite amusing to hear all the Chapel Hillians and UNC folks say they were going to cheer for Georgia Tech instead of Duke, just because of the intense rivalry between UNC and Duke. Apparently you're not like that, though, so I can't laugh at you.
Well, I have already played: Half-Life 1, Soldier of Fortune 1, Max Payne (on PS2), Unreal (but didn't have a chance to get too far, probably worth revisiting)...
thanks for all the insight, Call of Duty seems like a sure bet. ... and LOL half hour later when I thought about it again.
I needed that. http://www.spawnpoint.org/wads/scampie_test.txt 3 days ago I got a phonecall from a friend of my older brother's who works in Sunnyvale, TX as a dental assistant. He went to high school with my brother and he hadn't seen him in some time, but they were great friends in HS.
My brother wasn't home so I told him he'd call him back, and that it was good to hear from him. We talked briefly since I had met him a few times, and I asked him if Sunnyvale was near Dallas. He said not really, and that it was just a small town a few miles east of Mesquite, which was the biggest city nearby. The name struck a chord, and I realized it was where id has their headquarters. So I said, "Hey have you ever heard of id software? They made Doom, Quake, etc." He said it was funny I should say that because he was at a bar the other night in Mesquite meeting a woman he met in a personal ad who was from there. Apparently he had an issue with a guy who was trying to talk to this woman at the bar, he was interested in her so he didn't wanna let it go so easy. Things eventually settled down between them, and the other guy felt bad so he wanted to buy him a drink for being a good sport. They got to talking and he told me it was "Christian from id." I thought that was pretty cool, so I asked him if they talked about Doom 3. My brother's friend isn't really into PC gaming too much, but he had played the original Doom a few times, so they talked about that a little bit. He said Christian told him that they were coming out with the latest installment of the Doom series. My brother's friend out of politeness said he would check it out when he was heading to Wal-Mart the next day to pick up some other stuff. Christian then told him, that it wasn't out yet, but would be released in "about a year, year and a half." Stunned, I said, "are you sure that's what he said, because I've been following the game a bit, and it was supposed to be out soon" He said he was almost 99 per cent sure that that's what he said. We talked for a minute or two more, and then I hung up. I had totally forgotten about it until now, and I still can't believe it, but I can't see any reason why my brother's friend would lie. =( you talked to a guy, who talked to a guy who said he was...
w00t, I smell a new urban (internet?) legend sprouting! You heard it here first folk's! /Someone's dog eats ice cubes Yes, that's what I read in most of "specialized book".. They all said that Doom3 is not yet ready at all... and no one knows clearly when it will be released...
Taking a look at the trailers, you have an overview of the game play... and it seems to be really really good !! I've also heard that some "unofficial" demo can be found... but never I found one... The mystery remains... Car kills teen mooner
A TEENAGER was run over and killed as he mooned at passing cars during a boozy night out, an inquest heard. Student Alexander Edwards, 18, and three pals stood in the road exposing their backsides while walking to a party. Motorist John A�Court was blinded by headlights and ploughed into the lads �like they were skittles� the coroner in Wells, Somerset was told. He said: �I think about it every day but cannot think of anything I could have done about it.� Police said Mr A�Court was not to blame. Verdict: Accidental death. I'll shut upnow It is all too true. Sure I'll root for an ACC team like GT and Maryland when they are playing outside the division since divisional dominance makes the hometeam look even better, but Duke is just 28 miles away from Chapel Hill (which I guess explains the intensity of the rivalry), and Coach K is a class act to ever really boo while putting your heart into it (like say, for instance, Bobby Knight).
