[Dragonpaco]

our dear rogue has been sucked into the world of free online japanese role playing games. i think it's time to hold an intervention. any thoughts?

[LittleTaz]

Hey... as long as it's free, no harm, no foul.






Of course this advice comes from the person that is completely addicted to Facebook farming apps... :lol:

A nice diet of Fallout 3 will be nice. Feels like I've been playing for years and I think I'm just half way done.

[Fleck750]

No help here. I'm getting the bf to build a computer just to run the original Sims. :D

Anybody got any good hacks?

Is that why she's been so quiet lately?

[Dragonpaco]

Is that why she's been so quiet lately?

if by quiet you mean completely gone except for work and the occasional every 3 week phone call then yeah.

[karl_1052]

What is wrong with role playing with japanese chicks?:?:

In that case my wife needs you to harvest her crops!

[Kaneman]

I was just going to send Rogue a text this morning asking where the hell she's been.

most good MMOs are not free. which one is she playing? i lost a good three years of my life on MMOs that i still think about and wish playing sometimes. fucking things are the devil , i swore them off. money making machines.

That just sounds dirty.:lol

Paco, you're funny. :P

I've recently been sucked into the world of Mabinogi by my kids and my roomies. Everyone in the house is playing it. :lol: It's pretty cool and really fun to be able to play the game with the kids. :D There's nothing like showing your child you can still kick their asses in games :dthumb:

I have been a Diablo junkie off and on for years. Aside from the occasional DDR'ing or playing Guitar Hero, I really don't play video games.

I've also been spending lots of time with the kids. :D Mini-Me just turned 16 too! Where did the time go?!? :panic:

Mabinogi is free but has certain limitations. You can still play the game in it's entirety free, but being a premium member makes gameplay better. :)

don't listen to her; she's all hopped up on her game dope

Damned video game hippies!

You haven't seen the Matrix have you? I think we'll have to physically unplug you soon. :lol: Good that you found something new to do with the "little" ones. Sounds like they have the coolest mom :bowtome:





I played a couple MMOs for a while, but they got boring once you finished all the free quests. They're just a time suck, and there will always be a bigger, better one you'll have to catch up in when everybody moves over.

[smileyman]

If it helps you relate to your kids, do it! As long as you can unplug when they move on to the next bigger better challenge. Me I have so many honey-dos that I dont have any spare time. I steal my entertainment by running off on two wheels. 'Member that scene in Top Gun where Mcgillis is trying to apologize and Tom just keeps revvin' that Ninja?

That's one of the reasons I'm acquiring parts to build my new ubersystem now.
:wink:

[AquaPython]

how much is it gonna cost you to build something decent nowadays ?

I just got a TigerDirect flier in the mail. When the hell did DDR15000 come out? A 2tB solid state drives?

[AquaPython]

i want my next rig to be all solid state drives! fooking balls.

I keep waffling on some of the parts, but the finally tally will be in excess of $1200, I'm pretty sure. I'm going Core i7, DDR3 1600, GTX280 video (single to start with, might add a second later)... that kind of stuff.

i want my next rig to be all solid state drives! fooking balls.

I was wanting to do that, myself. However, the sizes available and the $/gb difference between SSD and conventional makes it impractical.
I'm probably going to get a small SSD (64-80gb range) for my OS drive and then a 300gb VelociRaptor for my games drive. If I want more storage I can just put it on the home NAS or get an eSATA outrigger.
I'm not a movie downloader and my music library is on the NAS already so there's really not a lot of need.

just FYI, the largest SSD device Newegg.com lists is 256gb, and the cheapest of that lot is $500+ Noooooo thank you. :whistle:

Yeah, I've never seen one larger than 512GB. That was at newegg and was $1,500+. Too pricey for my blood. I'll trade a little speed from the HD and pay for the rest of the system with the difference.

And even then, the 'speed' really only comes in if you have the OS and system configured to use the SSD correctly.
I'm glad I didn't jump on that bandwagon early on... they're only just now fixing a lot of the performance issues.

...now if they'll just drop the price on the Core i7 3.06 sooner rather than later. :rolleyes:

[Apoc]

Me too! I'm getting impatient, damnit! :lol:

expect another 2-3 years. Blizzard is notorius for lengthy development times, and 4-5 delays before release. Starcraft 2 just got pushed back to mid 2010, your your looking at late 2011 before they look to put out diablo3.

Hell freakin' yeah, meeeeeeeeeeeeee too.

I played Diablo and then Diablo II in college until all hours of the night. I can't wait for DIII

I've lost whole weekends to that game....with no sleep. :lol: I start playing and when I look at the clock 12-14 hours have passed. Holy fuck! Where'd the time go????

I've never lost track of time playing games before until I started playing D2. It didn't happen again until I started playing Guitar Hero. Now it seems to be happening with Mabinogi. :screwy:

[smileyman]

Damn I am so ancient. I have and still play my Sega Genesis and Playstation one. Road rash, Kawasaki Superbike, Army Men 3D, Gran Turismo, Honda SBK, Nascar 98, all still like new. Looks good too on the big TV if you either squint a bit or drink while playing....

[AquaPython]

some of the best games were on sega genesis! my old xbox was modded and i had every genesis, SNES and NES game ever made, US and Japan. that was great.... ah i wish that thing didnt die.

I have a PS2 that I never play.


I tried digging up my wife's Nintendo the other night. I couldn't find the power cord. I know it's around somewhere...I played that sucker in college.

[smileyman]

I am still pissed my brother hawked our original Nintendo for beer money 10 or 12 years back. We had alot of games.
But living here in the south we dont have alot of bad weather to keep us indoors so all my resources go into bikes, atvs, racing whatever. I keep video games around for sick days and icy weather...

I bought Tecmo Super Bowl on eBay for like 3 bucks in college. Love that game. And Tyson's Punch Out.

[Yamerhaw]

[AquaPython]
