OT - Intense Sitting

[Mr Stubby]

Spent the night at home playing a mix of Team fortress 2 beta, Call of Duty 4 beta and the new Sega Rally demo. And i must say, one game is as awesome as the next, im in a tizzy of nerdy delight.

I also bought a chatpad for my xbox 360, it rules.

I thoroughly enjoyed myself and I'm glad i can do it all again 2moro.

I think I'm gonna have to get one of these 360 thingies soon.

[WAY]

Get a farkin PS3. I was playing with GT5 the other day, some sort of preview. It was awesome! Had Ferrari 599 too.

[IML337]

You only have PS3 so you can watch Dirty Dancing on BlueRay. I don't want to do that, so I'll take an XBOX 360

[WAY]

Did you buy it for me? I am dying to watch it on HD so that I can see the moves clearly. How else am I going to learn to dance like Patrick Swayze???

[IML337]

Sega Rally - One of my all time favorite games.

A group of us, use to go down Timezone, kick all the kids off the sega rally machines and play 6 at a time.

Oh to the good ole days.

You didn't do this about 10 years ago in Canberra by chance?

Perth Timezone.

Good to see it's a classic everywhere. We used to go down during lunch when I was an apprentice, dam that was to long ago. Pretty funny seeing 40 mechanics from 5 dealers waiting to play

its insane, has a cartoon look to it and feels and plays more like quake era game with crazy strafing jumping and of corse rocket jumping which is cool since most fps's these days are too focused on "reality" which tends to make them kinda dull imho

Its really well polished (which it should be for almost 10 years in the making)... I havent had time to play all the classes yet or to be honest even figure out how some of the game modes work but it plays great.. tho to be honest i kinda prefer COD4's create-a-class system or chosing weapons, attachments and perks over tf2's fixed classes

But yeah the animation of the characters and the different abilities of each class are really neat.. i'm finding i prefer cod4 slightly atm tho.

[VDUB2C]

just had a look at the COD4 website...
Looks urneal!
Grphics look amazing, and the create a class looks promising,...
I can't help thinking it's a bit of a ripoff of BF2 though..
is COD4 story based like the rest of the COD releases?

hahaha TF2 sounds like some old skool style FPS ganking

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C...Story

A Russian nationalist by the name of Zakhaev is set on returning his homeland to the Soviet times. Zakhaev knows the United States would never allow this to happen, thus he funds a coup in the Middle East, organized by his ally al-Asad, to draw attention away from Russia. The two men and their seconds-in-command gain the nickname The Four Horsemen. However, the British and US governments have been monitoring Zakhaev's activities and discover his real intentions. The story is told from a perspective of a British 22nd SAS Regiment operative in Russia and American 1st Force Recon in the Middle East.

The game also features a flashback mission set 15 years ago in the Chernobyl Zone of Alienation, which features a new incarnation of Captain Price from 22nd SAS Regiment, the only character to appear in both of the first two games of the series. He needs to assassinate Zakhaev, but his mission fails because his Captain gets wounded and he has to get him out of the Zone of Alienation.[5] Whether this new Price will be confirmed to be a relative of the WWII era Price remains to be seen. It is also believed that the assassination attempt had left Zakhaev with only one arm.

Thanks for that

Looks the goods

Can't see anything about having a multi-player story mode though - that sucks.

[steve2gtis]

One day my life will be over, and I will remember all the happy times I spent with my friends... jks....

I dont even have a super nintendo.

I get my copy of Halo 3 tonight. 4 player coop awesome.

DiRT is not a sim it's arcade. The car feels very floaty but the gfx are sensational which makes up for it.

[samps]

I played the COD4 beta and loved it. Was waiting for that SEGA Rally demo but my 360 finally bricked - red ring of death! I say finally because 3 out of 4 mates have had theirs repaired under warranty as well.

There must be some serious design and/or quality control issues with the 360, but if you have to choose out of the 360 or the PS3, the 360 is going to give you better value in the long run. If/when your 360 dies just demand a loaner before you send yours back in. It will come back with another 3 yr warranty regardless.

And they come in black now, to match your B&O hifi gear.

It is arcade, but compared to games like Motorstorm, Sega Rally, Ridge Racer etc...it is very much a sim....

starcraft 2 intense sitting this saturday

[Buccaneer]

starcraft 2 intense sitting this saturday

Starcraft II intense session NOW!

Progressing through the main storyline - been saving more dirty, no good colonists rather than raking in the dough for the Mobius Group .

Oh and for those who don't know anything about Starcraft, heres a amusing 5 minute summary:

[VDUB2C]

what's the Mobius Group?
Got a fefw buddies coming around on saturday for beers and starcraft 2 action sucks we can't do LAN play any more... stupid battle.net.

[Saxton Hale]

I really wanted to play StarCraft 2, 10 years ago.

[Buccaneer]

what's the Mobius Group?
Got a fefw buddies coming around on saturday for beers and starcraft 2 action sucks we can't do LAN play any more... stupid battle.net.

I found out that the spelling is actually Moebius (Group / Foundation). You might recall in the original Starcraft, there was a certain Ghost upgrade known as the Moebius Reactor, which might suggest that the Moebius Foundation is involved in the Ghost Program, at the very least during the Confederacy if not in the present Dominion-run program.

Anyway, as you delve deeper into the main campaign, this shadowy faction springs Tychus Findlay (Jim Raynor’s old war buddy) and through him, Raynor is offered contracts to recover alien artifacts.

So you are given a moral choice – go for missions where you save Terran colonies that are under attack or explore dig sites / ancient ruins in search of booty.

[Mr Stubby]

It's Friday!

GAME ON!

[djuhn]

hahahaha nice one!!
i'll def be nerding it tonite with some intense sitting....
