I prefer Spider and ofcourse Vista/7 Free Cell, just cause it's easier...I didn't know you were into that kind of thing...
hmm maybe it's why I liked Drug Wars on my palm...

In other words you're playing older games or console ports.
There are only 4 bigname titles exclusively for the PC coming out this year. StarCraft 2, WOW Cataclysm, Civ V, Shogun 2.
The Future of PC Gaming:

Farmville2
Console Port
WOW Ten

Pssst..... Don't tell anyone but I'll probably buy Shogun 2 too. I'm a Sucker for Samurais.

final fantasy if you think this pic is mine
Angry Birds. My only gaming keyboard is a touch screen. My typing keyboards are all mechanical.
Here, behold: http://www.digger.org/download.html
Hey my 5150 I think has a CGA card -- it would be fun to play digger on that in its original form.
I played the civ 5 demo today, ended up buying the full game.
I'm waiting for the Left4Dead and Left4Dead 2 updates that are supposed to be coming tomorrow.
I played the civ 5 demo today, ended up buying the full game.I was up until 4 am conquering my continent. I still have to get across the ocean. Just entered the industrial era.
I'm replaying Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl with the Complete 2009 mod. It's like a brand new game now that most of the crashes and AI goofiness have been eliminated.
Mostly StarCraft 2. Sometimes TF2 and UT3 as well, when I get tired of Terran BS on ladder etc.
How's Starcraft 2 ladder, by the way? Is it civilised gameplay or the same hit and run micro and cookie-cutter macro from Warcraft 3?
Being in the bronze league since placement has banished me from ever playing a good game. 6/10 games are total cheese (SCV rush, 6 pool, cannon rush) 2/10 are just incredible noobiness (complete turtling, mass marines/zerglings/banelings/etc.), so that the 1 game out of 10 that is actually half decent, I'll win probably 60-70% of the time. Obviously I'm not advancing anywhere with that kind of track record. It really sucks too, because I'm in silver/gold in my 2v2 rankings with friends (it makes you have new placement matches with every new friend team you play with).
Man I wish I could re-place myself.
Moral of the story is USE ALL 50 PRACTICE GAMES BEFORE PLACING!
Lol, that sounds oddly familiar :)
Problem is that the practice matches suck donkeyballs. 1) you play on those stupid novice maps with rocks in front of your entry and 2) the people there are just ultra, ultra, hardcore n00bs. I was planning to play a bunch of training matches first but stopped at 5 or so which I all won except 1 mega cheese.

Yeah but the problem is that if u get placed in bronze, silver or even gold that it gets tough to evolve a solid macro game cuz u constantly have to deal with all kinds of useless cheese. And more often than it should be you will even loose to that stupid cheese because you were focusing on training for a solid macro build.
If your build can't deal with a bronze or silver level six pool, cannon rush, proxy barracks or other cheese, then it's not a solid build. You need to learn to deal with those kinds of strategies because they occur at all levels of play. TLO six-pooled Huk in one game at MLG in Dallas and even Fruit Dealer used a six-pool in a semi-finals match in GSL season 1. Cannon contains are very common at all levels in PvZ right now.
Once in a while:
Age of Empires III
Sid Myers Pirates
Hope to play when I have time (i doubt):
Monkey Islands
Grim Fandango
Dracula 1,2,3
Mafia I & II
I just bought a 5670 for my spare computer to get back into WoW with Cataclysm dropping soon. I said I wouldn't. But it's like heroin.

Wasting my time on Black Ops.
I dont have the stuttering issue others are facing, so i'm enjoying the game alot.
Played through Black Ops, they sure did crank up the corny in this game. Modern Warfare 1 & 2 are still superior to this IMO.

Stuck on Fallout: New Vegas atm
Been getting back into Dune 2000 myself lately.
Ah, Westwood, before the EA rape era...
Are those first three Amiga versions, by any chance?
(As an aside, "War has never been so much fun!" What an earworm...and shame on whoever made the PC port for removing it!)
Anyone else play BF2 still, for me it is still miles ahead of any more recent releases ?

I haven't played it in a while, but out of what I played, it has the best infantry combat, though BF1942 and possibly Vietnam still come out ahead in vehicular combat.
BC:BC2 was a bit of a letdown for me; kind of wish I hadn't spent $20 on it so soon.
I've been gaming for the majority of my life practically. I guess you could say I've wasted most of it!
Games I am currently into are:
socially:
L4D2
BF:BC2
alone:
Oblivion
Just Cause 2
I'm about to go through Mass Effect 1&2 again I think.
If you're into single player games, you should try Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas.
Just Cause 2 is one beautiful game in Eyefinity:
GOD I want to play Recettear so bad but I don't want to buy it either. Everyone says it is worth it but I dunno.
ATM I play SC2, just stopped playing League of Legends and like many others resisting the urge to play Cataclysm -- though at night it beckons to me, whispering sweet nothings into my ears as I sleep dreaming of slaying the Next Big Bad(TM).
The masturbation of the gaming world...
Now I got Battlefield Vietnam since my friends were bothering me. Not bad but not that great either. Gameplay is a bit different, there is much more hiding going on and stuff. The copters are way overpowered though I feel.
I just bought Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee and Abe's Exoddus today because those games were some of the first I ever played. Still just as amazing as they were in 1998. I challenge you to find a better platformer/puzzle/idk game.
God investment that. From the facts on paper I couldn't really make out what the difference to any old shooter with some up to date graphics was.
1) destructible environments
2) vehicles
3) LARGE maps
4) Classes that allow you to actually do things besides KILL
all that creates:
5) real teamwork
idk
I think in BC2 they did a great job with the "forcing teamplay" not only because of XP. I mean yes, until u are a certain level and have unlocked all the schtuff, you are hogging XP which is also why there are so many medics with low levels. But once you have all that stuff, they managed to balance the classes in terms of weapons so well, that there is always a reason to have a good mix of classes because the medics just like everybody just have certain types of cool guns. Always having different classes and not everyone playing with 2 or 3 different types of weapons (CS ...) is a big point in Teamplay.
As a result of this and the XP thing and the fact that you can have negative K:D ratios and still get the Ace Pin for best player in the round by always repairing your teammates vehicles, healing them and all that good jaz have resulted in a certain vibe within the BC2 community.
That vibe is that a dude who sits at 32:5 but effectively doesn't do **** for the team cuz he is mostly concerned with getting a 32:5 K:D ratio is not seen as "omfg, that guy is such an uber pro!" but as "omfg, what a stathog..." which in my oppinion is quite healthy.
Also more and more (but still too few) ppl do actually applaud a Recon guy who is moving forward with the rest of the team throwing motion mines (or moth balls as we like to call them) and subsequently not getting such a great K:D as opposed to a Recon guy sitting way back in a safe, elevated spot with his x12 scope and occasionally sniping someone who gets into his area...
My Favs are Descent and Super Metroid!
