I'm having a few problems with the old "main.exe" error in descent so me and my kid were looking at whats going on gamewise at the moment. I've been out of circulation gamewise for a few years so i'm trying to see whats up.

To test the new comp out we downloaded "gunz", and while i'm not a big fps fan, this free game is quite cool. I'm running up the walls, shooting and doing flips...great fun. Not the best graphics in the world; but great gameplay, which is what i'm looking for.

So what's new chaps?

i think ut2007 is going to rock so if you haven't played ut2004, i would recommend it. best looking maps i've seen in any game ever. great game pace. great user interface and features. until d4 comes out, i figure this is the next best thing. UT CTF is almost as satisfying.

Gets great fps
sometimes lags on the freeways during rush hour
clipping plane is usually pretty far, unless its a smoggy or cloudy, or muggy day.
seems to be able to handle an unlimited number of objects.
extremely high object detail, right down to the atomic pixels
but, no save or load function, or even reboot
but on the plus side, no time warps or rollbacks, unless you live in Mississippi.
no zones, or loading wait times

yea, real life is fun

Hmmm, I may check this one out!

The Iran game has been downloaded in Iran thousands of times, Halper said, and the company has received roughly 300 e-mail messages from Iran. Some criticized the game but others had asked how to get a copy without a broadband connection.

Wulfram

It's an online-only game with complex battlefield-like gameplay, and an effective mmorpg-like leveling up system played in hovertanks with a ton of weapons, action, strategy, and teamplay. Graphics are a throwback to tribes, but it's ok because you regularly find 30-person servers and at that point the graphics start to matter less as you fight to survive.

The best part? It's completely free

Posted: **Mon Oct 24, 2005 11:33 pm**

WoW and Quake4 at the moment, athough the following are loaded...

D3, UT2K4, FarCry, BF:V, CSS, XIII, HL2, GTASA.

Apart from Descent (which I do still play given the chance) the main things I'm into are Mechwarrior 4 Mercenaries and Diablo 2 (expansion). Not the newest stuff on the block but still reasonably fun and at least my machine can cope.

I do also occasionally play Jedi Knight 3 and Guild Wars though. (Although I usually forget to play Guild Wars for extended periods of time.)

Posted: **Wed Oct 26, 2005 12:32 am**

Guild Wars, char's name is Ozymandias Aylomen if any of you wants to play...

Posted: **Wed Oct 26, 2005 12:49 am**

I play GW, but got really sick of it. ive had 4-5 characters with full 15k armor (i delete them after a while), and my main character has a couple pieces of FoW...

I suppose you can befriend Sophias Winletter, N/E, but i dont know if youll ever see me on GW again.

Ive played that game it SUX! so Im playing CSS, UT2k4, Quake4 and some WoW.

Pally couldnt be more correct, UT2k4 frkn rules. I just started playing it again, I had forgotten how much fun onslaught is.

Posted: **Wed Oct 26, 2005 9:36 am**

Not only does it rule, it runs like buttah.

Posted: **Wed Oct 26, 2005 2:53 pm**

Playing CSS? I thought you could only play with CSS...
