I like Midway, too! Chances are, you've pwned me several times over (I go by relatively generic player names).

But let's be honest, guys: video games are time killers. So what? Sometimes you need to kill a little time. Just don't let it ruin your life. Remember that your successes in any game are rarely transferable to the real world. If there's anything you can take at all from playing video games, it's that tenaciousness and persistence can yield success - put that ethic into effect in your real world, and you'll be set for life!

Beware! It's the armchair-comfort and do-overability that's so attractive about video games. Even Hugh Hefner was addicted to Pac-Man. Hugh Hefner! Can you imagine? All those hotties and cash, and Hugh's playing Pac-Man! If Hugh can be lured away from his life by the siren call of video games, what chance do the rest of us suckers have?

 

Not so popular tactics? ... I'll reinstall it...it never liked my computer. Random lockups, etc. Compatibility mode does nothing. Ever do Desert Combat? I'm a beast at the helicopters -- can do hovering captures, etc with the Apache . However, my joystick recently died. Still recognized on USB, but no button input works. Checked the connections; they're all still fine. Any ideas?

WoW does suck the life out of you. One of my best friends is raiding right now (3 or 4 times a week) so he's completely unavailable for 3.5 hours. I am thinking about buying it and playing with him, though...

Well I used to go by Captain Crunch, now I go by my name here. Captain Crunch was often hated by the really awful players and some good players too.
I like to throw Plane campers (who can't fly) overboard, I like to beach the Fletcher and use it as a shore gun. Can't fly too well but I can shoot down planes and sink most ships easy enough with the tank. Got my moneys worth on BF1942 (and no monthly fees)

spam as in everyone throws their grenades in very small maps. The game isn't that great. Not to mention all the n00bs spamming through walls. battlefield 2 and 2142 has taken most of my game time.

 

I don't find it to be a problem. Play on hardcore servers with rules about that.

 

I too am a BF1942 nut. Best game ever. My favorite map is Wake Island. I also like Invasion of the Philippines. I don't mean to brag, but i am a damn good sniper... At lan partys, i just hide in the "bushes" and get shots from across the map. Good stuff.

I can't play online, though. I have satellite internet, so the latency is way out of wack. My pings to google are like 2 seconds long...

When i do get to play online (right before we have lan partys at places with fast internet), i usually go by the name Lord_Marks or Marks256. But that is very rare.




I also like Half Life 2, BF Vietnam, and a few others. I actually really like the WWII mod for BFVietnam. The maps for BF1942 look AMAZING! On monday i am going to download the expansion pack for the WWII mod (it has ALL the bf1942 maps in it. THe one that comes with BFV only has 3 maps)

yeh sure harcore... it's still a n00b game, just like counter strike.

 

n00b game doesn't matter. Make up for it by having a life.

 

Well considering there isn't much fun to have while off work that won't get me into trouble, and being as how i'm single, with no kids. It's either bonfires and beer, or video games. Now that's what I call life.

 

How can you consider that being "living"?

Not to mention spamming the forum

I love HL2, WoW and CSS. I love Garrys mod 9 for HL2, so much fun!

My WoW character looks like TEH PWNT, lvl 14 (almost 15)

As for Counter strike, I have my gaming moments, I will do good one moment then bad the next
