    What game are you playing?

    I've been having trouble picking a game to play. Its been a little Battlefield here and there and some Desert Combat, some Midnight club 2, and KOTOR.

    Maybe I'm developing some sort of attention disorder or maybe I'm just getting older, but I'm having trouble getting into a good game.

    I love it when I find a totally submersive one player game. I keep playing level to level to see more and more great cut scenes and great stories, but its been a little while since I've played a good game.

    So I was just wondering what others were playing, maybe a recomendation to get me jump started again?

    P.S. I can't wait till Battlefield Vietnam and UT2004 are out. I was gonna get them today, but to Semper Fi's and my dismay....

    i've worked through the regular vietcong and before that through vietnam - line of sight. and both of those really sucked me in.
    at first i didn't like vietcong for the graphics didn't match with those of vietnam los, but once you've been doing tunnel-rat work, you're totally immersed - at least i was. so i'm now waiting for my gaming rig to get back to playing on a fast sys. vc fist alpha is waiting to be worked through. besides those i don't really remember many games that really sucked me into total immersion.. splinter cell comes to mind, and before that vagrant story and metal gear solid (both on psx). max payne2 was ok, but not that immersive and also way to short anyway.

    so atm i'm looking forward to the sequel to splinter cell - pandora today, maybe stalker. right now i'm playing a lot of demos.. far cry for, colin mc rae 4, painkiller (real fun) and some others i don't remember, lol...

    I was playing splinter cell on my x-box untill my house got robbed. They took everything except my comps. I guess a water cooled rig won't get you much crack on the street. I work a lot and I think some one in the neighborhood ws watching me come and go. I live in a ghetto neighborhood in a bad part of Sacramento, CA.

    I should move, but rent is awesome here for northern Cali. I live by myself in a 2 bedroom townhouse/condo thingy for only 600 a month.

    The room they broke in to had 3 comps in itat the time. They didn't even touch um. HHHMMM, I gues it wasn't any of you



    So, I got renters insurance now and all my windows are locked.

    farcry is supposed to feature day/night cycles aswell - and seeing the videos they have on the official homepage, i'd really like to see that for real on my rig. the first demo was fun, tonight demo #2 (research) is about to be tested

    and yea.. stalker.. it seems to rank up there with doom3 and hl2 when it comes to postponing and rescheduling

    What game is that stoned penguin?

    Anyways, I'm playing BF1942 still (haven't played original in a long time though, I play DC, Forgotten Hope, and I've been doing some Galactic Conquest lately). Got UT2004 pre-ordered, should get it later this week or next week probably.

    I've been playing some Baldur's Gate II as well, recently, and some Kotor, but I think I'm done with Kotor now that I've beaten it three times.

    It's Star Wars Galaxies, my current addiction.

    I have a couple of hundred screenshots that I need to get compressed and uploaded at the moment, I'm going to sort out some kind of gallery thing, there's some real gems in there, including me in my hotpants.

    Bah, this is where the lack of finding anyone I know on here who shares the same SWG server as me.

    Farstar-Europe

    I did consider starting up on a US server when I got the game, but decided to go with a UK server in case I was going to get crappy ping or something, but if by some freak occurrence, you happen to play on the same server, fire a /tell to stoned, if you fancy a Rancor hunt...or two.
    I've heard it all, I've seen it all, I've done it all. I just don't remember any of it.
