as soon as you let 'em know that you have no gag reflex they get clingy. 

So CZG forgot his log-in details again... 

hmm, should i delete that phone number? is that a gay chat line or something? 

 

sometimes the admin just has to take the plunge....

And if we are talking about a gay chat line, the above sentence just got 2000% more worrying :D 

mam = man, or another cunning gay joke? you decide! 

Just started Prey. Rather good really. Nice to see an FPS that is unashamedly about FUN and ENTERTAINMENT rather than technological breakthrough X or advancing the WW2 counter-terrorist teamplay genre Y or whatever. 

lol, you need to play it some more i think :} 

i hate how prey advances the ww2 counter-terrorist teamplay genre. 

Is it me or are the Necrons totally overpowered?
I am playing the Campaign with the Tau right now. The second mission is Necrons for me, Strength = 3. I have no chance... Any tips? 

or WW2 game.

Anyone? Feels like I haven't played any good FPS games in ages :( I still haven't played HL2 ep1, but actually I can't be bothered whilst I've still only got a paltry 512mb ram.

Actually, I still haven't played Prey, so I will get that if it comes to steam.

what's next? 

Good point, apart from HL2E1 and Prey it has been a bit dry recently. The former was good and the latter is good so far so that's something.

Otherwise it's better to be into RTS or RPG I think!!

The one thing I'm looking forward too is Dark Messiah, FPHackEmUp rather than FPS though. 

Ummm... dunno. If in doubt, turtle??

Or look for an online walkthrough - I found a good one for Winter Assault so I assume there will be one soon for DC.

One thing, maybe the Necrons require different tactics given they have quite a different race / base structure - any subtle weakness you can look for?? 

there is a competition to get into the closed beta over on eurogamer at the mo... but I lost the url (or am too lazy to dig it out... you decide)

definitely looking forward to SC big time. I was a fan of Total Annihilation, and SC seems like it will be similar, so it should be good. War on a massive scale with an interface someone ACTUALLY FUCKING DESIGNED REALLY WELL (probably, if it's anything like as advanced as the TA one was in its day) that lets you effectively direct the battle.

Anyone else got a hardon for SC? 

Call it supcom. SC is reserved for an almighty RTS that will probably still be played in 2010. 

yeah "supcon" looks awesome, ive preordered dark messiah also and ET:QW.

Apart from that the pc fps at the moment looks rather bad, discounting sequels and ww2 games ofc :)

There is still always stalker =) 

i hate how prey advances the ww2 counter-terrorist teamplay genre.

laomo poned :{ 

Hrmm, Project Offset? Bioshock? 

I wouldn't hold your breath for that one. Is that still any more than a wishful tech demo that has no chance of running in real-time on a realistic system? Do they even have a publisher yet?

Looking at their website I see they've managed to expand to more than three people though, so something may get made in the end... 

A friend of mine is talking with them now and apparently they are going to be doing a huge round of hiring early next year. 

/me starts updating his CV... 

Agreed there is exciting stuff on the horizon for sure....but still on the horizon... 

A Fagpad 2.0 yet?

Well I've just rescued the dippy bird with the effete walk and big ears, and it hasn't changed much in terms of gaming fun except a slight preponderance of coloured lighting and taking a while to get some varied enemies...
