    So whats up? This void in games is killing me. Nothing is happening. Eq2 hasn't a clue, wow is losing any clue it ever had. Aren't there a lot of games due out now? I loved Aoe2 Can you say charoit archers? i gave Aoe3 about 2 min before i removed it from my system. You talk about total suckage...

    There is no center in american politics

    What would the center look like? American politics is so extreame at this moment. Extreame right and regilios and extreame left to the point of socialist. We have lost the center. Slick willy is not my best freind in the world, but he was the nearest to the center that we have seen lately. Is...

    What would a system that could deliver water and boots on the ground look like?

    Ignore Katrina, ignore what just happened. Theres plenty of time for blamestorming and that fun will start tomorow. Lets just imagine what a system that could deliver clean potable water and boots on the ground in 3 days or less would look like. Is this something we can afford? 99% of the...

    This is a cut and paste from sfgate. com. I use google news but it begins to tell us who the people that got rescued are. Torres Smith, 42, a machine operator at a New Orleans seafood plant before Katrina hit, was evacuated along with his wife and four children and is now sleeping on a cot...

    This is looking like its gonna be huge

    Lack of gas. In many places in the US there is no other way to get around. Damn what the neibors say if you cant get to work, you wont go and the work wont get done. It isnt the price of gas, its the fact there wont be ANY gas, for fire trucks, for ambulances. If were talking weeks we will be so...

    How can we take our country back fron the coporations?

    I think the root problem is the US takes a corporation as an ententy. I think if only peaple were entitys there would be enough diversity to ensure demoracraty. However, Do you agree that this is a problem? If so how do you see the solution?

    THE BEST HOUR IN COMPUTER GAMING EVER

    I've done it 20, 30 times. I know there are no mobs here. I'm in no danger, yet its the scareiest creepiest moment in comperter gaming ever. A great time to trim the hairs on the back of your neck because they will be standing stright up. This game is pure genus. Heres an interestiong thought...

    Is online gaming dead, because of the children?

    A heads up for my BF2 budds

    From my limited experience BF2AL seems the best server browser so far. The pings displayed are reasonable the number of players seems to be right. I've got my intro movies diasabled so when I click launch I go to log in then im on the selected server. friends list and reasonable filters that...

    Isnt it fun?

    So out of the blue points gained on ranked servers dont count. and the weapons you unlocked are locked again? Another taste of what you get when you are a customer of EA. These guys make sony look like angels.

After an hour or 2 I'm slammed to the desktop or rebooted. this is on low ping servers (ranked) if my ping isnt under 100 I'll look elesware. Any way ive been notching down my vid settings to no avail. Andan settings...

    The summertime blues

    BF2 is inbetween patches as in the community is split as are the servers, EQ2 sounds interesting but perhaps I'm on the wrong server but i can never get a group (with a templar no less), And I just cant bring my self to log back into guild wars ( I've accended 3 characters and groups have...

    BF2 is the bane of sanity, it causes violence in our time

    Having endured the ranked servers untill I made lance corpral and unlocked my street sweeper. I've discovered an unranked server out of chicago with the close in street fighting 24hours a day with frendly fire off no less. Mindless mayhem? glad you asked. I can actually get tired of this and...

    Whats a good hijack this site?

    I'm conserned about internet useage when I've no programs running. Could It be incomming pings? Or could it be that I'm (gasp) a zombie? Ive run spybot, ad aware and ms antispyware and updated antivir and done a full file scan. Still my router is blinking. I feel so unclean here.

    BF2 1 vs 2 Gig of ram

    To second the summary theres been some nice threads in the video forum here about ram and the game BF2. This is just a summary of my expierences vs expectations. I recieved my 2 gigs today and I allready feel comfitable saying that the 3rd or 4th map bug (you stay on the same server after 3 or 4...

    BF2 rambeling

    Ranked servers without openings are rare, i've heard that the unlocked weapons are kinda cool, without being unballancing. Medic is not bad class although peaple tend to be killed or at half life after an incident. But the weapon isnt that bad and the ability to heal teamates and yourself is...

    I want to hate BF2

    I really want to hate the shoddy programming, DOA menu, And all that stuff. But tonight I got on a ranked server with nearly no lag. I blow goats at this game by the way, but I dont buy games because I can own everbody. I buy games to have fun. In some way I have yet to define, this game gets in...

    Thats right. If you want to play a little or a lot join a server then join a squad then spawn with your squad leader and in seconds youre in the thick of it. This game is ready for you when you are. I'm really likeing it and i'm not really good though I see improvement. I did the commander thing...

    Yet another Guild Wars thread

    Yet another Guild Wars post. I know there have been lots of posts about this game, but they have been focused on the 1-20 grind. This game really begins at lvl 20 in the hall of heros. Here are some quotes from GWONLINE that I think will explain. My intent here is to give other gamers a little...

    vampire the masquerade

    I made a reply in an other thread that started a train of thought that I just got to try to communicate. In my humble opinion Vampire the masquerade bloodlines is a game that has pushed back the boundaries of computer gaming. The atmosphere, game play, the fact that you can play as a different...

    Guild Wars

    Would you believe pvp with no griefing, corpse camping, training or ganking? I picked up Guild Wars on my way home from work friday and after a weekend playing I gotta say I'm impressed. There are parallels to Diablo 2 but its not Diablo 3. Some thoughts follow. You can make a level 20 (max...
