Amen!

I just beat Half-Life 2. Great game that delivered for me. Can't wait for 3 (we just know there'll be one).

Later today, I'm going out to buy the original Baldur's Gate, because I only played the second one. Once I beat it, I'm going to import my character from it to Baldur's Gate 2 and play it again (it's my favorite game, after all).

RollerCoaster Tycoon 2. Saw the three-disc box set in a shop and bought it. It's almost identical to the original (which I completed a long time ago), but with new scenarios and rides, and one or two new ways to do things.

Well you tolerated Halo 2's ending, right? ;)

I changed my mind about Baldur's Gate and got Final Fantasy VII (I still had my old PlayStation collecting dust). I've never honestly beat a FF (though I've gotten far into almost all of them, ironically). Well, after VII I'm going to check Media Play for VIII and IX--and perhaps even Xenogears and Chrono Cross, but that's wishful thinking.

I've been alternating between Goldeneye: Rogue Agent and Mafia. Both more fun than I expected.

Harvest moon kicks arse! I downloaded a gameboy emulator and played it for hours until my sister wiped over my save. Then I played for hours again with a new one, and it was almost back to its former glory when my sister wiped over my save again.

I haven't been able to bring myself to look at the game since. It's just like when I got to the final boss on Jak II and my brother wiped over the save, I don't know what the ending is now because I'll be damned if I'm playing the whole game again.

You let other people access to your save games? Heh.
I finished Jak II... the ending was actualy very predictable. As was Jak 3, but less easily transparent.

Beat Half-Life 2 a few days ago. Just re-installed Doom 3 and playing it again. I might get the expansion pack, once the price goes down.

Hehe, you're welcome

GUILD WARS HAS BECOME MY OBSESSION

I played in the last Beta Weekend Event this weekend...and...it's all I did.

It's why I've been so gone.

It's that good.

Oh god, it's so good.

I played in the World Preview Event and E3 for Everyone, but it's gotten so polished by now, it's heavenly. I can't wait until I can pick up my copy on the 28th. Even though I'll be able to play it two days prior to that.

It's the best online game ever. Everyone here should play it. 8O

PK - one of my friends raves about GW. Think I might give it a go.

I'm waiting for BG1 to come in the mail. I'm really excited about taking a character all the way from Candlekeep to the throne of Bhaal.

In the meantime, I just found out I could register the first Half-Life and its expansion on Steam, which means I now have Half-Life, Opposing Force, Team Deathmatch Classic, Day of Defeat, the original Counter-Strike, Deathmatch Classic, and on and on.

It's great because it's so organized; all the game are on one menu, and Steam updates thems instead of me having to do it manually. Heil Half-Life! HEIL!

PS. Your Foultar really whips a cheetah's ass, Loremaster. I congratulate you.
