Still haven't tried it but I am about to install Black Light Retribution which is free to play and is supposed to be a lot of fun.

Me too, downloading.

I'm playing the PC version of the original Metal Gear Solid and Campbell just told me to switch my controller from port 1 to port 2... And I was like

Unfortunately the mind-controlling/reading part from Psycho Mantis' scene, one of the most memorable moment of the saga was cut out of the PC version

I didn't know there was a pc version. It's funny though, in the ps3 version you have to actually change the bluetooth channel on your controller and make number two. I was wondering if they would do it. Also, the part where you have to change your disc you also have to do, from the ps3 menu.

lol?

Tribes; Ascend, shiiiiiitloads of fun. Anyone else playing?

I hope this game is awesome. Really interesting to see how it has progressed. I check this blog every couple months and the game looks better and better. Seems like a vastly different kind of game than Braid: http://the-witness.net/news/

I'm still not certain what the core gameplay is really supposed to be like, but it looks pretty epic.

Oooh totally forgot about that game. Yeah looks interesting even though, like you, I don't really actually know what it'll play like at all !

I recently started playing Shenmue on Dreamcast.

Best. Voice. Acting. Ever.

I've been thinking of playing through Shenmue 1 and 2 again recently.

So much love.

Yup, been playing it with a few buddies for the last three months, so glad they brought Tribes back in class.

I feel like it's the hardest game I've ever played, it's so hard to get really good at it and so rewarding as well. I haven't played the original tribes but I'm going to waste a lot of time playing this one.

Yeah it requires a lot of skill, which is one of many reasons why it's so great and never really should get old. A good old healthy learning curve is missing from most games these days that are always trying to appeal to noobs. Tribes plays completely different than any other shooter out there. They were smart to realize how much it's been missed.

I've been playing I AM alive. It's a bit shitty, but I have a soft spot for this kind of thing.

finally came into a bit of disposable income this week and i also have three days off all of my jobs!!! i want to buy Skyrim but I still hear awful things about the bugs for PS3 users.

alright, so considering that my purchases of Fallout 3 and F:New Vegas didn't have any notable bugs/problems, I sucked it up and bought Skyrim for 30 bucks...god it took so long...got my 10 oz. old school Coca-cola, just ate a breakfast sandwich, no work for two days. Lets do this.

you'll need more than 2 days man!

I'm 80 hrs in and pretty much nowhere near finishing it.

hahaha...i dont plan on finishing it...im notoriously slow at these games. im just now escaping Helgen with that idiot imperial guy. The marksman aiming stuff seems much smoother than Oblivion so far....im sure on a PC mouse it was no problem but on a PS3 controller its impossible to line up the reticule with sprinting skeletons.

also, its annoying me that I have to take time out to carefully line up the reticule to grab shit out of wagons. i spose ill figure out how to make it easier, but now whenever i try to grab shit i knock what appears to be a 1/2 pounds wagon 10 yards down the screen.

But im loving my character so far. Picked a Nord, figured it was straight enough...gave him a bad eye and a scar to match, and since he looks like some old Goth or Celt leader, I named him Odoacer. Awesome.

just got out into Skyrim proper....the textures of the plants are a big disappointment...they look far worse than the ones in Oblivion did...maybe because of the color contrasts? the ambient music is awesome so far. sorry if i blah on too much in this thread for a while, i enjoyed the shit out of Oblivion and ive been looking forward to this one for months

Skyrim snuck up on me. My first hour I wasn't fussed much. Then I strolled into a stream and saw fish swimming about and the level of detail made me fall in love.

the exact same thing did it for me and Oblivion....I think wandering through the forests down from the mountains and came into a huge clearing when this track came on:

it was such a perfect (albeit brief) moment of immersion.

The bit that blew my mind in Oblivion was walking out of the mine into the world for the first time. A game had never been so grandiose before that point.

Amen to that - In game-time terms it was early evening and after getting out of the lake I walked up the hill and at the top all the deer started to run off in the distance towards the setting sun. Just beautiful !
