What are you playing right now? V
 

Do tell.

I haven't been playing all that much lately. The occassional level of Osmos on my phone is about all I have time for.

Usually the counter increments with the new thread :p

I'm downloading Warsow 1.0 because I'm sick of Quake Live and there are a few guys from Aus who play it. The new QL update leaves free players with a rotation of maps rather than the fixed system before. The drawback is that we can no longer change maps before games and the duel maps in rotation are fucking awful. Give me Furious Heights or ZTN any day over Sacellum. I'd pay for it, but lots of Pro users in aus struggle to find games.

Shouldn't this be the fifth version?

To answer Mac's response to the last thread. No. I'm not a fucking hoarder. That makes me sound like a messy git who has no life. Well it is true I like collecting Games and Consoles, I have my limits. I am also not sentimental over DS games or any games for that matter either. (Well maybe over a few that I've had since I could remember) So saying that, If money is tight or I just can't find a good price for that certain game, or I just can't find it at all! I probably will try out a R4 card. I just won't like to. :)

I just like to buy my games genuine. What's wrong with that? Lot's of people do that. And besides, I usually buy pre-owned games which don't cost all that much.

Anyway. I've been playing Ratchet 1 recently and remembering how awesome it is. And also been playing a lot of TF2's Mann VS. Machines with some friends, It's a great additive mode and it's really fun trying to get the most overpowered weapon there is using the upgrade system.

Good point.

I haven’t really been all that taken with it. It seems like a solid game, but I just don’t feel like it has quite the same character as Insomniac’s Spyro games. Maybe the sequels improve upon that, though.

Burnout Paradise The Ultimate Box.

I forgot just how fun the online side of that game is, even though it's a tad glitchy.

The sequels are without a doubt better, You should definitely try out them out.

I agree with Crashpunk, I like to own physical copies of games, but only games that I am passionate about, like Resident Evil, Portal and Oddworld ect.

I just finished L.A. Noire. I was a bit disappointed with the Black and white effect, because it misses the Noir palette and effect. I did liked the bogus names on a certain Mission, though. "The Set Up".

Thinking about getting Penumbra: Overture. Has anyone played it?

Been replaying Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations.

It's pretty fun but there are a few characters who just completely break the balance of the game. I'm looking at you, Masked Man.

I agree with Crashpunk and Nep. Owning physical copies of anything, be it a CD, movie, or game, is infinitely better for several reasons.

I've been playing, uh... Tetris. Got to 390,000. Booyah.

Also started playing Street Fighter IV again, since my brother picked up the Super version (more characters). Of course it's amazing, it's Street Fighter.

So alot of my friends have been making a big fuss about League of legends, at it wont download on my pc for some reason so just wondering,
does anyone here play LOL

I play it a bit, but I'm not very good. It's pretty fun though, worth trying IMO.

Yeah, Penumbras are cool

It's made by the same guys who made Amnesia and uses the same engine.

It's basically the same game, just with zombies and guns.

what

It has evil dogs and you can use a pickaxe as a weapon, that's about it.

Yeah, I extrapolated everything I "know" about that game from the trailer.

But then... it's just Amnesia but not scary. You couldn't use weapons in Amnesia, that's why it's so terrifying, the fact that you have them in this game probably takes all that fear away.

Penumbra is scary. At least not less than Amnesia. And it has much more variety in the game mechanics, which is cool. I don't remember interacting with that many things in Amnesia. And killing in Penumbra is really hard. You usually run away

Finished Rayman Origins 100%. Land of the Livid Dead was fairly difficult, but the majority of the difficulty stemmed from human reflexes being slower than the rate at which objects appear on the screen.

Overall, I enjoyed the game. The controls were my main gripe with it initially, as they felt too loose, and whilst I did become accustomed to them, I still feel like they could be improved.

One thing that surprised me was how much I enjoyed completing the speedruns. I left them all until the very end, but I wish I'd done them after completing each world. It was only at this point that the looseness of the controls felt "right".

I found the speedruns really fun, too. The controls were right at home when you were working towards that fluidity, whereas the fine control needed to get lums at some points was fairly lacking.

I wasn't a particularly demanding child, for the most part I was content with a box of constuction tools like Lego and such to lose myself in (literally, sometimes; these were big boxes). However, what my 10-year-old self wanted more than anything was Pokémon Emerald for GameBoy Advance. However, glances of enthrallment over the shoulders of my contemporaries were what I had to settle for.

Seven years later, through the wonders of emulator technology, I played it yesterday. I even dug out the joypad I almost never use. Suffice to say I am now an extremely happy 10-year-old boy.

That said, the intervening years have given me a good pool of pop-culture references to draw nicknames from. Note my Wingull called Kehaar and my screaming Whismur called Gorrister. Also my Magikarp called, for complex reasons, Ms. Fish. If anyone knows what that's a reference to, do say.

Yes, it's true that the entire series is pretty much the same game. Since I'm just going to play one or two of the later ones, why does that matter? It's all one game, but it's a good game.

I was going to say "Why should I pay for that? Isn't it free on Newgrounds?"...

I have been going through a very similar thing. Silver Version was the first Pokemon game I ever owned, and Crystal was the last.

That generation was great, and now I’m reliving it all through SoulSilver, complete with “witty” Pokemon nicknames (like a Haunter named Whiskey).

I'm still working on Darksiders 2. I really, really like it. Much more open world, and centered around doing mostly whatever you want than the first.

"MM, you're acting like this is the first time you've played a Pokemon game."
"It is."
