You bad people, I just spent 3 hours gaming!!!!

[mcveigh]

OK this was my frst time doing the onliine FPS arena thing. How f@cking addictive can this get? Return to Castle Wolfenstein BTW...

This is like Crystal meth for addicts. There go my grades for the winter.....




So where are some good sites for more info?

 

[Scouzer]

Omg, if you get addicted to Return to Castle Wolfenstein, which is considered crap by many, your going to be itching to be playing computer when you get some decent games!

Counterstrike (Halflife Mod)
Day of Defeat (Half life mod)
Unreal Tournament

are all good bets

I spend at least 2 hours a day playing "Day of Defeat". This mod is almost perfect.

 

[Geforcekj]

yeah DOD is good, realistic damage...

 

[j0lly]

I have never played CS . My computer will probably have a stress fracture if I load any of today's games.

 

[mcveigh]

OH GREAT!! I discover this stuff when I'm getting married in 7 weeks, How will I explain this to the wife?
Better yet how do I explain why I'm taking a full PC on the honeymoon
:Q

Guess none of you's have ever played Everquest? I seriously lost count of how many people lost their relationships, got divorced, lost their jobs, dropped out of school, just for that game.

My gf is studying the after effects of playing Everquest in her Psychology class. She calls it Evercrack.

My gf is studying the after effects of playing Everquest in her Psychology class. She calls it Evercrack.

I was going to do my thesis paper on the deindividualization effect of people behaviors in games such as Everquest.

So is she actually doing the study or reading up on it? I wouldn't be surprised if there are studies published on that already... maybe i should have a look.

CS is suck....it is like being on mIRC with people shooting at you...and it looks kinda crappy

RTCW will steal many players away come this Xmas


I am actually very down on all the cheating in FPS games of late......I used to play RA3 every day, but the cheating is so, so bad...and its so obvious when you chasecam people.....sad really.....

 

[TranceNation]

unreal tourn my friends, especially instagib

"Omg, if you get addicted to Return to Castle Wolfenstein, which is considered crap by many, your going to be itching to be playing computer when you get some decent games!"

WTF? Crap by many? I and every single person I've played CS with has already moved from CS to RTCW even though their is only 1 map for it right now. It is an excellent team game with multiple objectives and different classes. I'd like to know who the many people are who consider it crapy. I just hope they balance the flame thrower better and make airstrikes either not possible over your own base or less frequent.

"I was going to do my thesis paper on the deindividualization effect of people behaviors in games such as Everquest."

Is this like, when people no longer voice their opinions in EQ (most people seem to voice opinions a lot less in EQ from my personal experiences - scared they will upset someone) or is it how people feel useless in EQ when they are without a group?
