Mucking around with Civ 4 this weekend.

I miss that feeling in University. Course, sitting in the lab cursing yourself does make you look insane. To some.

Don't forget Bofors and Saab. Edit : Well ok, I mean the military Saab, and Bofors is owned by the British, hm. Stupid me

What, sliders ? I wish they had left naval transports in, never really found them to be an enormous problem. As for racials, I think Suleiman's (sp?) is pretty garbage.

Modern Warfare was just hard due to facing an unending horde of Arabs/Russians. I must have killed an entire company in that Pripyat level, heh. Regen'ing health is fine for games like COD, but it's terrible when it finds its way into games like Rainbow Six.

Thanksgiving here, I should have taken Tuesday off, but I figure I'll take next Friday off. 3 day work weeks are such fun

Weird, can't really get hooked on this game.

I concur with Operation Flashpoint, it was something fresh aside from other FPS games. Shame the fools at Codemasters keep pumping out garbage with the OpFlash name attached though.

Funny to think of it as a young person's thing when you look at the ages of the members of the groups. Wonder what effect publishers dropping all their DRM would have anyway, other than saving RELOADED time.

Alpha Centauri. They need to make a sequel to that

Right now listening to some Sabaton. Cheesy-ish music at times, but can't beat subject matter like Simo H

Legionnaire is one of their best, I find.

Matrix Revolutions. But I concur with the statement her husband is one lucky SOB

Oh it's not bad at all, but I'm in need of a fiction book to read anyway. Interesting writing style too, telling a story and then notes on what he learned from it. His notion of digging in if you're hanging around in an area for more than 10 minutes seems pretty obvious nowadays with hindsight, likewise the "don't bunch up in an open field" during an artillery strike.

The NFO files are sometimes very helpful, seen some that provide links to the tools needed, etc. Although it is amusing to read the comments sections and boggle at how many people are failing to RTFM.

I love the squeaky voice guy that yells "Victory is ours!"

Instead of working, looking up books to read. Well trying to read Infantry Attacks by Rommel right now, but figure a good fiction book will also do well to have on the go.

I'm still not liking the global happiness, nor being able to adjust my tax, science, etc. spending. The finite resources is a nice touch though. Really wish that instead of doing away with the stacks you could form stacks of limited size, so you end up with a force that's linked. Also, wonder why there's no foreign trade, would be a nice addition to the diplomatic system - it could stand with some. All in all, it does remind me of Civ 3, new concepts but still in need of tweaking.

Can I get your autograph ?

Yeah Arenas are just garbage, the game could do without them. I really do miss the old AV, hour long struggles, using the cavalry, etc. Ah well. I'll have to avoid getting suckered back in by my friends who need healing

Spent 5 years playing that. Eventually got bored. The game was kind of fun before Burning Crusade, pvp at least for my Pally. But eventually got boring even as IRC

They really should make an RPG where you are a courier.

Really ? I've seen lots of discussion go without flaming or trolling. Loose as those terms can be, you can define trolling as someone making a snide joke about the subject matter as trolling if you try hard enough. All in all, just text on a screen so HTFU

But it's good to let people act like a jerk, sure beats enforced politeness.

Claptrap DLC, pretty fun so far.
