Anyone here play Team Fortress 2? They update it every couple of months with new achievements, weapons, maps, game modes, etc. This month is an update for the Heavy. Every day, starting 5 days ago (and for 5 days) they reveal something about the update. They are supposed to reveal something today, but it's going on 7PM, and we still have no update. I checked again, maybe 10 minutes later, and it changed from "Monday" to Monday-ish". Subtle, and funny.

Step 2. this client will be at patch 2.0, we need to get you to patch 2.33, I will post later the patches to a site, but in the mean time, if you know how to do it, do it. Also, do not let it auto patch, it will patch you up to high and you will have to revert. Step 3. Text Edit the realmlist.wtf file in the root of your wow install two lines should read when done "set realmlist 12.206.218.99 set patchlist" Step 4. Contact me to set up your account <email or text> That should be it for now, dont expect this info to stay up for long, soon I will have it on its own web site with links to all files needed.. This can be shared with friends, but remember its free and if I need the banwidth, I may take it down from time to time.. but if you want to play, text me and i am sure I can put it back up... |

[quote]Posted: Friday, May 2, 2008 at 6:50 pm EDT
This game looks awesome:Real life, as if its a video game. Someone should enforce a content rating system on this thing! I've been outside. It's overrrated. Traditionally Outside receives extremely high ratings by those who like to see others play it, and these people are in many cases comfortably ensconced Inside themselves. Outside was released many years ago, it was in fact the first massively multiplayer game, and yet it has always managed to avoid the double-edged Retro tag. In its favor, continual user updates have kept Outside current; there are always new things to see and do Outside. Participants are permitted, to some extent, to modify their own areas of Outside, which is a large part of the fun of the game. However it seems that in the end one is modifying Outside largely for the sake of it, and having done it, there is a distinct feeling of "now what?" In terms of the traditional target age content metrics, Outside is remarkably high in sex, violence and challenges to traditional values, despite the strong child-focussed marketing it receives. Many would go so far as to say that for a child to develop the ability to cope with Outside is essential, as long as the harm incurred is not too debilitating. Children injured playing Outside are usually comforted by parents, and soon encouraged to go Outside again; this leads to the conclusion that somehow Outside has escaped any and all of the usual moralizing that surrounds the videogaming industry. One might say that Outside gets a free pass from the Jack Thompsons of this world. That aside, how does Outside actually rate? The physics system is note-perfect (often at the expense of playability), the graphics are beyond comparison, the rendering of objects is absolutely beautiful at any distance, and the player's ability to interact with objects is really limited only by other players' tolerance. The real fundamental problem with the game is that there is nothing to do. In terms of game play the game sets few, if any, goals: the major one is merely "survive". What goals a player sets, are often astonishingly tedious to actually achieve, and power-ups and gear upgrades, let alone extra weapons, are few and far between. Some players choose accumulation of money, one of the many point systems in the game, as a goal, but distribution of this is often randomized and it can be hard to tell what activities will lead to gaining points in advance, and what the risks will be. Other players choose to focus on accumulation of personal abilities, the variety of which greatly exceeds the capacity of any individual to accumulate; again, the game requires players to engage in years of grinding to achieve any notable standard with a skill or ability. Players are issued abilities and characteristics largely at random, and it is entirely possible for a player to be nerfed beyond any reasonable expectation of being able to play the game, or to be buffed to the point where anything he or she does is markedly easier. Unfortunately over time, player abilities tend to degrade, unless significant effort is made to keep skills up. This reviewer cannot emphasise this enough: Outside requires a huge time investment to build up player abilities, exceeding any other massively multiplayer game on the market by some three orders of magnitude. Players are encouraged to focus on social interaction, which can be engaged in in a variety of ways. In fact it's extraordinarily difficult to solo anything whatsoever in Outside, apart from basic skill and knowledge accumulation quests. One of the major forms of social interaction in the game is based largely around the addition of new players to Outside, and is both complex and, in comparison to the storyline-driven romance quests of, say, Baldur's Gate or Mass Effect, they are immensely difficult. Dedicated players of Outside, however, report that the romance quests are among the most rewarding the game has to offer. The game world is immense, perhaps unfeasibly so. The sheer amount of resources that went into development of the Outside environment is staggering to consider. Outside is a world of tremendous size, containing examples of every known real-world terrain type and inhabited by every known real-world animal. On the other hand it is somewhat lacking in the traditionally expected, more interesting, zones where the developers would be given the opportunity to show off their skills in varying the physics and graphics of the game. There are, for instance, no zones where gravity varies to any significant degree. The respawn rate of objects and players is ridiculously slow. A dead player can expect to wait for years to respawn, and will be set back to zero assets and a tiny, nearly helpless form. Death is hardcore, and resurrection all but impossible. Outside is not a game for the QQers out there! In terms of the social environment, almost anything goes. Outside has a vast network of guilds, many of its players are active participants in designing the game's social environment, and almost any player will be able to find company to undertake their desired group quests. On the other hand, gold-buying is rife, the outskirts of virtually every city zone in the game are completely overrun by farmers, and the developers have so far proven themselves reluctant to answer petitions, intervene in inter-player disputes, or nerf broken skills and abilities. Indeed this reviewer will go so far as to say that the developers are absent from the game entirely, and have left it to its own devices. Fortunately, server uptime has been 100% from day 1, despite there being only one server for literally billions of players. On the whole, Outside is overrated, and many gamers will find themselves forced by friends and family to play it against their will, but it still deserves a high rating. I give it 7/10, and look forward to improvements in future patches. |

I have two free 10-day passes to play World of Warcraft (not the most recent expansion, but the $20 store version). It's really quite fun and I honestly think it's worth the $15 monthly to play. Lots of room to explore (unlike DDO). It's outside, in cities, underground, etc. You can choose to play in on a role-playing server (which I do) and PVP is entirely optional. If anyone is interested, shoot me a message or call.

Chef Boyardee's Charles Barkley, Shut Up and Jam: Gaidenyou cant make this shit up...lol...you can download the demo if you scroll down a little The Great B-Ball Purge of 2041, a day so painful to some that it is referred to only as the "B-Ballnacht". Thousands upon thousands of the world's greatest ballers were massacred in a swath of violence and sports bigotry as the game was outlawed worldwide. The reason: the Chaos Dunk, a jam so powerful its mere existence threatens the balance of chaos and order. Among the few ballers and fans that survived the basketball genocide was Charles Barkley, the man capable of performing the "Verboten Jam"... Flash forward 12 years to the post-cyberpocalyptic ruins of Neo New York, 2053. A Chaos Dunk rocks the island of Manhattan, killing 15 million. When the finger is put on the aging Charles Barkley, he must evade the capture of the B-Ball Removal Department, led by former friend and baller Michael Jordan, and disappear into the dangerous underground of the post-cyberpocalypse to clear his name and find out the mysterious truth behind the Chaos Dunk. Joined by allies along the way, including his son Hoopz, Barkley must face the dangers of a life he thought he gave up a long time ago and discover the secrets behind the terrorist organization B.L.O.O.D.M.O.S.E.S. A tale of zaubers, b-balls, and atonement; brave dangers unheard of, face spectacular challenges that even the greatest ballers could not overcome, and maybe... just maybe... redeem basketball once and for all in |

Wizards has a newish 'card' game called Hecatomb. It's ALOT darker than Magic, and has a Lovecraftian feel too it. I want these cards. A pack comes with 13 cards and are about $5. I played Magic, but it's just too fast for me. I collect more than play now because of time. I'm so far behind on it anyway. I stopped at Apocolypse, started again at Mirrodin, but then stopped again. They are 2 set ahead of Mirrodin, and I am just losing interest. These Hecatomb cards are cool, and the game may be fun too. If you guys are interested, maybe we can all hook up and play. Check out the site.

I am playing Gran Turismo 4 right now. Awesome game. Getting the licenses is hard as hell though. Well not really. Getting gold on all the licenses is hard as hell. Over 700 cars to chose from. I saw 2 Chargers in there. I'm pretty excited about that. You can tune your car at a tune shop, or go to the dealership and have it tuned. I don't think it's any different though. The tune shop outside the dealership is for advertising, I guess, cause you can tune your car with name brand parts. There is also a photo mode, grab a car, put it in some pretty scenary, adjust the camera, and take the pic. You can print out the pic too. Not exactly sure how to get it on the PC though. Probably saves it temporarily online for you to snag it with the PC. Awesome game.
