As a (supposedly) responsible adult and small business owner, I probably shouldn't even be doing this, much less play the amount of vid games I do. But given my now two-year obsession with killing things digitally, and the amount of knowledge I've acquired (as well as the knowledge I will soon be seeking), I felt I needed a means for all this, and more.
What I intend to do here is share the knowledge i have, the knowledge I will require, and provide a means for me and others to vent, rant, rave and inquire - a kind of video game dialogue (a game-alogue?)
So - in that spirit - let me begin by posting a few random thoughts, wishes, queries and such. Many of these will be explored in future postings in greater depth. So I suppose this is a preview of what this game-alogue will be like.
- What in the FUCK is with playing Painkiller online? Everytime you try to log on you get shoved off, with odd error messages. Every once in a while, you can get in to one, but there's usually no one there. And these instances are rare. When Painkiller Resurrection first came out, I was able to get onto a few of those servers, but that seems to have abruptly stopped.
anyone know of a fix for these?
- What happened to playing Quake 3 Arena online? In the course of a year and a half, I've had it on four different computers, and on only one did I find other servers showing up. Then that hard drive tanked. Otherwise, the game seems to have disappeared. Anyone know how to get those servers to show? I mean, even the original Serious Sam still shows up online (wow too....cuz that puppy is ancient...but fun).
- You know that part of Quake Enemy Territory where you're a Strogg, and just before a map starts it says "30 Earth Seconds Remain"??? I've always thought that would be HILARIOUS to say in that voice when you're with a woman and you feel the big moment coming on. Hee hee.
Yes, I have a filthy mind.
- My new addiction these days: half-life death match and the server "new for 1979." OMG what a freakin' kick!! It never ceases to make me laugh when the robot "sportscasters" berate you with "Insufficient postage - you suck!"
- Star Trek Elite Force. Yup....i know it's ancient...but it's cool in my opinion. If i try to play online, no servers show up. Anyone know anything about find those servers?
- What a bummer about the LOST video game....boy did it suck. Well, actually, maybe it was ok....but it was so buggy i never got past the initial four or five moves. I'll try it again on my newer BIG PC...but hopes are not high...and i've gotta be pretty damned bored to give that a shot. No road-crippling snow storms are in the wings here in portland, and that's probably what it would take for me to try it again.
can NOT wait for the new season!!!! holy shit. What IS Jacob?? and the mysterious Man in Black that is his enemy? Is that really him inside John Locke's body? My whole theory about the thing is that the nature of the island lays in the distant future.
