What's to say? I love games, my wife and kids. I sleep when I must, I work when I am supposed to, and eat whenever. I watch some TV shows: 24, Battlestar Galactica, The Shield, but I prefer gaming. except for those shows.
At least for now, I still have the twice weekly built-in gaming sessions. As has been the case since 2000 or so, shooters are on Monday, and strategy is on Wednesday. It will take a LOT to bump BF2 and Civ 4 from their perch as my game of choice.
I'm hard pressed to say enough about this game, and trying to write it down is damn near impossible. The basic premise hasn't changed since Battlefield 1942 - kill your enemies, capture the flagged positions that allow your teammates to join you in the battle at that location. This time, they set it in modern times, and based the battles on USA vs China and USA vs MEC (Middle East Coalition). Honestly, the biggest change, aside from really nice graphics, is that now you can create and join squads, and spawn on the Squad leader. You would be amazed at how much of a change that makes. Anyway, it is a great game, and I love recruiting new members. Check out the stats page to see how you measure up to the group I play with from Raytheon.
It's Civ. Number 4. It's great, but that is redundant with the Civ name. They tweaked the graphics and sound, and added working multiplayer. The sound is immediately noticeable. The game has one hell of a great soundtrack, with some really good stuff at the title menu, and it stays good during the game. Since they upgraded to 3D graphics, you can now zoom with the mouse wheel. Even better, the zooming is useful! When zoomed out, you can see national borders, oceans, large geographical features and at least some larger cities. When zoomed all the way in, you can look at what improvements are in cities and how large they are just by the picture of the city. Mousing over a tile now shows you what resources are there, what you would add to your city if it was to be worked, and there is a small hut shown if a city currently has a worker on it. They really meant it when they said that you would not need to enter the city view if you didn't want to. All in all, it is just great. Buy it, let me know, and we can get a game going.
Mario Kart DS - Wi-Fi Mario Kart. Hell yes.
Advance Wars DS - No Wi-Fi, but it rules.
X-Men Legends II (XBox) - I prefered the setting in the first one, but the game is good.
Teamspeak - Mandatory VoIP program. Totally, 100% free, lightweight, and functional. Very impressive.
Xfire - Game oriented IM program. Allows people on your friend's list to join the game (or teamspeak server) you are in, can overlay incoming messages on your games, so that you don't miss messages, or get forced into an Alt-Tab situation. Again, good stuff.
This is my DVD list, the sort works, but slowly.
