Do you game on PC or console?

What console if so?
What genre of games do you like?

XBOX 360 and PC for me.

Racing
Shooters
Action
Sports
Strategy

JohN Dee · 23rd January 2008, 12:23 PM

I game on both PC and Console.

My gf bought me a Nintendo Wii for Christmas with Super Mario Galaxy, Mario & Sonic Olympic Games and Need for Speed pro street. The Wii is great. The graphics may not be as good as the 360 or ps3 but the gameplay leave the other 2 in the dust.

Gaming on PC... I like RPG, Adventure, First person shooter and Strategy(fave).

The games I've played/play (favorite ones)

RuneScape(MMORPG) - Played this for 5 years from when it was first released. Everything I know about computers and my typing speed all comes back to this game...

Realms of Kaos(RPG) - Played this on and off for the last 7 years. Great game all about PKing...

Counter Strike(Firstperson Shooter) - Played this for the last 7 years on and off since version 1.2. Love it, wanna vs me at awps eh? Every now and then I'll go hit up a LAN to tear up on it.

Warcraft 3 DotA (Strategy) - Played this for the last two years since map 5.84. Current map 6.49c. I don't play warcraft itself just this map in particular. I'd say I'm pretty dam good at it but don't get to play it as often as I wish I could...

azrael · 23rd January 2008, 01:10 PM

This is Azrael's son, just thought I'd put a little post in (mostly in reply to JohN Dee)

Imo, Nintendo and PC are fantastic. I'm planning on getting a Wii soon.

As much as I hate to admit it, I was a member of Runescape for about 2-3 years. It was a good game, but then I got hacked. Added to that when they would release an update every weekend (WITH THINGS LIKE FARMING, WHAT SORT OF SKILL IS THAT?!), AND it would take at least a month to get to get a skill to level 99 I got sick of it.

I've never played DotA, all my friends rave about it. Just seems like another way to play Warcraft 3 (which is a fantastic game).
HOWEVER, World of Warcraft is where it's at. Possibly the best MMORPG out there, hands down.

Also, when I've got my Wii it's gonna be Mario Galaxy, Metroid 3, Zelda, Super Smash Brothers Brawl AAAAAAAAAAALL the way.

DBS · 23rd January 2008, 01:16 PM

i messed up on my own poll.... AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

i ment for xbox 360 not xbox.

John Dee... you play Wow? What is your character name? and what server are you on?

The Wii looks like sooo much fun to play.

JohN Dee · 23rd January 2008, 03:58 PM

I never played WoW on the official server except for the "illegal" beta testing. Didn't really turn me on... DotA is heaps more fun...

After Runescape went from runescape classic to rs2 (PKing was never EVER the same) it was hard to get used to... Then I did get used to it and had alotta fun (not as much as on rsc). Then one day I thought.. I'm not gunna waste anymore time on this bs.. So I slowly stepped away from it...

Yeah I got Smash Bros brawl preordered

. That is gunna be SICK on wii. I've been following the nintendo consoles my whole life and have owned each and every console they released. NES, SNES, N64, Game Cube and now the Wii. The best part about the Wii is that you can download all the oldschool games from NES, SNES and n64 aswell as play the gamecube discs..

Therrin · 23rd January 2008, 04:10 PM

PC gaming only.

The Unreal Tournament series, True Combat, Wolfenstein, the rogue series, team fortress, battlefield 1942 and the Desert and Jungle versions, Counter Strike, etc etc... most of the shooters.

Used to play Warcraft 2 like a madman, then Warcraft 3, played some starcraft and AoE, old school Civilization, and Myst =)

Solitaire's cool too ya know

Eric Frei · 23rd January 2008, 04:57 PM

1st person shooter, just switched to xbox360 from PC.

Call of Duty 4 is primo.

Steve Tipton · 23rd January 2008, 05:46 PM

I have enough fkn trouble writing an invoice or lookin up porn!

Therrin · 23rd January 2008, 05:50 PM

Quintrex, just think how much better you'd be at doing invoices and finding porn if you polished up on your skills a bit and played some first person shooters?? You'd practically be a pro =)

shaggs · 23rd January 2008, 06:41 PM

Eric Frei · 18th February 2008, 07:33 PM

Some day we'll hook up for a live game of whoopass, that's if it aint too laggy. sometimes I cant hook up with my USA mates, the whatever gadget inside the box says too laggy and wont allow the connection.

I'm Ekka007 on the box, chuck us on ya friends list.

RandyMac · 18th February 2008, 08:12 PM

I have been playing Stronghold Crusader for over 4 years, it suits me. We play games at night (we work 6pm to 6am) on the county's intranet, sometimes for several hours, with time outs for work

It is a fairly simple game, except for the human unpredictability factor.

Love them adventure games. I know it's suppose to be a dying genre, but I love point n' click. Here are two that some of my students did ages back:
Student Adventure Games.

I used to be uber sick at CS down at my local lans... Then DotA came along and we were all like, pfff CS is in the past lol

.

Having said that I don't mind playing it everynow and again when I'm at a lan, that CS: Source is good!

Look at this: MarioKart: Source Mod - News That looks so sick, if you search for it on YouTube you can see the preview.

The race is on between Mario Kart Wii and Mario Kart Source. Both online, one real, one aftermarket.

Therrin · 25th March 2008, 09:10 PM

Hey that sounds pretty cool, I'll pick it up next.
I ended up getting The Orange Box cuz you get 5 HL games all in one, and wanted to get familiar with it again. Never played in the remade oldschool maps till just recently, it was deja vue.

Seeing the outlines of the older map through all the clarity and detail of the new ones was awesome.

I was trying to find an old glitch from the DE_Nuke map, if you hopped on a spot and jumped on someone's shoulders you could "pop" up through the ceiling layer and run around on top of the map, shooting people but not falling back through.

Therrin · 3rd July 2008, 10:40 PM

Joined a new clan. They run the server I've been playin on alot lately. Good group of folks. I even drove down and met some of em.

Made it to Rank #1 in the server (out of 912),
and ran at the top of the map rank for quite a run. Got some good screenshots.

Eric Frei · 3rd July 2008, 10:59 PM

I been playing Battlefield Bad Company ... it's OK online too.
