I used to get that in FS2_Open too, until I updated my graphics drivers. :D

I'd say the yamato reminds me more of starship troopers's capital ship (especially the big rings).

I played it, it wasn't bad, for a generic Diablo-esque hacker. Not sure if I ever finished it to be honest, that was back when my Graphics card would overheat if Direct X so much as looked at it...
Its awesome. I think you can find it and its expansion bundled together now adays. Thats how I got my TQ:IT. The physics system is pretty cool too.

I'm playing a real old title called 'Freespace'. Not many have heard of it.

...

Okay, yeah. I'm playing through Jedi Outcasr.

Boystrous 19 year old temp at work slapped me in the face with an envelope and laughed it off as playful. So I shoved him over a desk and laughed it off as playful. It's on camera so I can plead reasonable force.  Temp is now passive.

Been playing RA2. Too much RA3 leads me to right click a lot, and I keep holding down the alt key cause I think it'll allow me to way point. I also have to remember Tanya has no TimeBelt. Which I forgot multiple times. :(

Played Raptor again yesterday. I've managed to get through Wave 3 of Outer Regions on Elite difficulty, losing only one Phase Shield in the process, while at the same time shooting down most of the ships. :D

Wave 4 is going to be Hell when I play it again.

Did you nail all the ships in the last group (the stuff after the beam ships)? I remember it being particularly difficult to get every single one of those without using a megabomb, although it was possible.

Wave 4 is easier than 3. Apart from the last one, 6 and 7 are quite hard. 4, 5 and 8 are fairly easy.

Due to Fallout 3, i dug out my old copy of Fallout 1, and saw the preview for Plansescape Torment... I've never played it, seen any gameplay footage or even a screenie due to my lack of interest in magicky wizardy-ness (apart from Hermione Granger now she's "growing up"....

Any comments on Planescape? Worth a look?

Yes. Absolutely. In terms of quality-of-writing, it's probably the best RPG ever made.

Is it more Diablo or Baldurs gate? :confused:

I'd check on-line but work-net is locked down tighter than a ducks butt-hole. ;7

I've had Planescape for years but never finished it. Awesome, but you've really got to commit to it.

Very close to Baldur's Gate.

 
Ok, so i have 1000 wiipoints leftover from my birthday. I've looked at several games (Yes, Super Metroid is on my list, but not right now) and i'm thinking of getting one of these:


  • Metal Marines
  • Military Madness
  • Harvest moon (uhhh.... yeah. very unsure if that even should be on here)
  • Actraiser

So, can anyone tell me which is the best, or if theres other really good games i should look at, and maybe a good rating and review site (Well, gamespot is dead, and i'm using IGN atm, but that's not the best, i'm sure.)
Sig nuked! New one coming soon!

gamespot's reviews for old games are still good. it's the new ones that are borked.

 
yeah, but a lot of them have been added recently. Metal Marines got really good though.
