Now there's an unexpected sentence. It's bliss when they start hitting you with artillery.

I should have explained myself better; the game really captures the visceral punch of war well. Buildings shatter and craters form when artillery shells hit. Soldiers fly like rag dolls, and tanks collapse. It's amazing.

Quake Live, baby. Play Quake 3 free in your browser. It works great and is addicting me to CTF games all over again. It's just too bad there are no Threewave maps in the game, that would have been truly awesome.

Get Opposing Fronts. It is very good.

I've never tried Opposing Fronts, just the original CoH, and da**... it was hard! Fun, though :)

As for Quake Live... Why would I play Q3 when I could play the infinitely better UT2k4 or UT3, both of which I already have?

Am I saying you should? You're not trying to reanimate the old UT vs Quake debate, are you? Go back to the nineties! ;-)

It's more a question of playing a 9 year old game, when I already own both a 5 year old game and a 2 year old game in the same genre :)

True, I also own Q4 but I love the sheer rush of Quake 3 online, especially in a nice team game. Never mind that I'm not very good at it ;-)

Just acquired the GBA port of Gauntlet. Yes, Gauntlet. It also came packaged with Rampart, whatever that is.

I am playing Vampire: Bloodlines for the third time. An excellent roleplaying game.

Is that the first or second Vampire game? I loved the first one, but never played the second. You are making me want to replay it now. I remember the controls being a little clunky, but so much fun to play.

Hmm, sounds like an interesting game. I'm being pushed to join a real Vampire campaign. That would be a good thing, but I don't like the people involved. :(

I always had a little more respect for how the Vampire game worked. Less dependence on dice rolling, more on roleplaying. Then again, I guess it depends on who is leading the thang. I also used to love Top Secret for nearly the same reason, although I'd say dice came in a bit more.

I broke down and rented Guitar Hero: Metallica. Worth it for the Kyuss and AiC tracks alone.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”
