Are there any gamers in here?

Starcraft is a great game, but I lack the multitasking required to play it. I prefer older games like Stronghold for RTS's. Allows me to build up a nice little castle like defense and build up a small army instead of getting rushed in under a minute

nobody on steam ?

 

[Pug]

I have steam Formant, user name Pugsley.

I have steam, but since I installed Windows 7, I never got around to reinstalling it.

@Pug, its the multi tasking that I like about it, it has so much depth and ways of playing. But yeah I also hate getting rushed after 5 mins. Im at gold to platinum standard now so Im not too bad, Im still working on Diamond tho. Thats the goal. And maybe then Master league, we can all dream. My beat making has taken a huge knock since I started to play that game.

I also just started playing Black Ops again after a 2 month hiatus, I got the new map pack and Im trying to get my moneys worth. I still kick much arse on that game.
<<<<< Likes to blow his own trumpet.

Im seriously considering going into the gaming industry as either a programmer or designer.
In an old man at 36 years old but still cant get enough of my games.

@2good Ya man, I used to like the multitasking a while back with games like Age of Empires 2, but I prefer games like Civilization 1 (not the recent one), more turn based type of games. I guess I'm more of a slow chess player! haha.

Haha Thats what I was like before I got onto Starcraft 2, just poodle along and slowly build my shit up, and I really did get my arse kicked when I first played multiplayer on starcraft. But I eventually saw the light and got my head around it. The rest was history, lol.

 

[Pug]

@2Good, right on man. I was totally getting into RTS's, I started learning all the hot-keys and that, but realized quickly that I sucked compared to other players, so I stopped and moved on. These days I'm getting into Blood Bowl, dope game, but has a bit of a learning curve... still, there's nothing better than tackling an opponent and causing a casualty, or having an opponent try to tackle you and they fall on their asses. Great great game.

My Mortal Kombat Tournament Edition came in today... oh man, this game is sweet, and the arcade stick is just icing on the cake... loving it! Anyone else pick it up yet? I'm sticking with learning Baraka, that dude was the shit back in MK2.

I was a beast on MK2, I had the counter for every move and would just wait for them to attack. My friends stoped playing me in the end, they got the hump with not being able to hit me. Wasnt as good on SF tho, but i still pissed people off.

Playstation network is so ass right now. im glad i also have xbox live. psn is so unreliable. its always down. now its goin on a week since it went down. i guess you get what you pay for. they tryna say that there was an external intrusion now but the truth is when they unleashed steam on their network it crashed. not a good look for sony right now. im glad my playstation plus ran out a couple months ago.

Yeah i know, its a cunt, Ive just gotten back into playing some Black Ops, was looking forward to some games this easter and the fucking network is down. Its pathetic that they are trying to blame hackers, when its obvious the network cant handle steam.

Im not a big "online gamer" so that really doesn't bother me. Whats pissing me off is, I have to be signed in the PSN in order to get NetFlix and thats a kick in the groin. I think PS should reimburse my $8 monthly NetFlix fee. I don't care why it's down.

On another note... The new Mortal Kombat is SICK!

not true. keep trying to sign in after 3 or 4 attempts you will get to the front screen for netflix. i tried it.

 

[dacalion]

Yeah, I get to NetFlix but then it says..."you have to be signed in the PSN". When you try to watch a movie it loads about half way then stops and sits there.

 

[dacalion]

Kratos is the man!

 

[Pug]

The great thing about the new Mortal Kombat is that each character has the potential to be devastating in combat if used properly. The game has a steep learning curve with all the combos, but the rewards are great once you start to learn a character!

 

[dacalion]

Yeah, Noob used to my fav in older versions but Kratos is NO joke! I can't do anything with Shang Sung using Noob but I can take him out easily with Kratos. But I agree, once you master a character, they have the potential to destroy!

i have been gettin on mine. no problem. it turns out that somebody figured out a way to get psn games for free and it made the rounds through the internet. not being able to fix it sony shut playstation network down until they can find a way to update. im so glad that i have xbox live. thank god for microsoft and their military grade security. been with xbox live since the beginning and i cant remember 1 outage. except for 15 mins on the original xbox live every 3 months.

^^^ update;

1. Geohot jailbreaked the ps3 enabling it to run other OS, they busted his ass. On top of that, you can create fake cc's and buy a gazillion games (but at least theyre not warez lol). Rumours immediatly pointed to Anonymous, but theyre not that stupid to pull something like that off even though they're backing Geohot.

2. Sony shut down the psn network/Qriocity because data was taken from their network. The data contains all personal info incl. usefull creditcard data, which is the intention of the intrusion. Hacking isnt stealing, this is though. Sony's been really stupid by not securing their traffic and even including cc payment info to their servers, this was an issue in Februari. A hacker notified that Sony illegaly sends the CC payment info un-encrypted over the network which is absolutly not allowed under European law.

I honestly dont think sony can update this problem, from the technical side they're going to rely on OEM parts much more to seal off any adaptivity thus that problem is only resolved with a PS4. But, if Sony doesnt even encrypt such personal data(legal or not) they'll be likely to lose customers for being very unreliable, unconviced to buy Sony's best solution; PS4...
