I really haven't played many video games however I had a friend tell me to try Wargame a couple weeks ago, It's honestly the first game I've played for more than a week and not gotten bored of and my first RTS game.

If you want to use up plenty of time you really need to check it out, it has something like 750 units and from what I hear plays a lot differently than most other RTS games.

I can't play online because the uni I'm at blocks me for some reason however I've been told online is definitely its best part. Despite not being able to play online I get the chance to play a couple of skirmishes against AI every week between schoolwork.



Also a note, both those trailers are fully made up of gameplay.

leave it to pussyfatfuck to assert himself and his other-worldly knowledge if you only run 8GB ram on your computer.

this is called the "nerdy shit thread". What were you expecting? If you were not expecting an argument about computers in a thread full of nerds, then you probably don't belong here.

Used to play hours upon hours of COD2 and B2. Once went 50-2 in COD2. M2 Garand was my shit or a MP-44. Lee Enfields were underrated too.

I've been into tf2 a lot lately and its addictive as fuck. Something about all the classes being so fun and stylish, you never really seem to get bored. And then you have the whole trading thing, I keep seeing new items every time I log in its crazy. I'm absolutely hooked right now.

That game got old when I pickpocketed everyone everywhere and they didn't even have clothes. Plus I had a bounty in every city because I killed a lot of people

Holy shit is that your play time or mine? I'll check tonight but I'm super close to there for hours, at least I think so. I used to play some highlander as a spy but it's been a year or so since I last played and I'm fucking aweful... Right now I'm just playing solly, demo, or dead ringer spy. My account is Cheese Bagel, with a sad skier frog icon.

world of warcraft.


2 time gladiator and on a top 50 world ranked guild,


these were my glory days in 2nd and 3rd year.


when my friends were slaying fresh uncharted poon, i was slaying illidan, securing myself a set of warglaives so that i could rape face at 3s. rogue4lyfe.




i think when i quit my total time played was in the 350 days range.


so roughly 1 year of game time. or 3 years worth of 8 hour a day playing. or 6 years with of 4 hours a day playing. and that doesn't count all of the time i spent online, googling, youtubing, planning, thinking, dreaming this game.



i had a disease. and thankfully im fixed.


i do frequent the noob slaying at bf4 though, but 250 hours later (split between me and my brother) i'm pretty much done with that.



fuck.

CLEAR YOUR SCHEDULE! This kept me alive during my 3 hour religion class (I go to a Jesuit University, blow me). Its a fairly long blog post about why the two trilogies should be watched as IV, V, II, III, and then VI, skipping I entirely. Called the Machete Order. Very interesting and proves episode I was a serious POS that can be skipped. Well worth the long read.

MEH i hate people that shun ep 1. Star wars is great jar jar or not (also impartial about that) and to me, every bit counts. Also, qui gon shouldn't be missed and midi chlorians are arguable but i'm not sure what to think of them.

Read the full post from the link I put, it raises valid points, qui gon is not really that relevant, to the development of the anakin/luke relationship other than telling obi one to train him. Midi chlorians, what the fuck was george lucas doing? They are mentioned like once, and play no part. Episode 1 had very little stuff that actually mattered and was vital to the series in my opinion.

As i said, any bit of screen time star wars universe counts for me. Yeah there was a lot of random stuff in there but i disagree about qui gon. He's really relevant with Yoda later on. But I can see where this is all coming from.

Hoping I can get my spy wheels back. Got way better at soldier than I was like a year and some ago, but I really like spy. It's got a sick dynamic as demonstrated by stabby.

Stabby is pretty rad. I've been getting into pub spy a lot more recently and have been enjoying it. Mainly did it to learn the meta so I would stops getting stabbed by them. Still can't trickstab very well though.

I watched all 4 seasons but for some reason didn't like Dr. Who even though Torchwood is a spinoff. Then I watched all 5 seasons of Fringe and both seasons of Continuum.

I'm reading an ecology book by Paul Hawkins called Ecology of Commerce. Cuz fuck yeah nature.

I can recall the scientific names of most trees before the common name.

My name is ThaLorax on NS and I made a custom icon for myself on a skiing website.

I've definitely been watching Star Trek the next Generation while at work...

...it's way too easy to just watch and never really pay attention to at all until someone says 'set phasers to kill' or something sweet.
