Ha Skree, "in a decade". They still haven't gotten the first game to come out for the gamecube to work correctly. Luigi's Mansion works but has no audio.

I got Sins of a Solar Empire for my BDay a little while ago. I'm practicing with the Vasari on small single player maps. It's fun, but I've yet to complete a game. XD I'm thinking the one I've currently got saved has a better likelihood of being played to conclusion.

My problem is that I don't build enough ships. I can repel an enemy incursion, but i can't chase them down and destroy them. Last time I was playing against a TEC AI, and it had like 18 carriers and a bazillion little repair vehicles; so I was stuck in a quandary- concentrate fire on the repair bots and take fire from everything else, or concentrate on the others one at a time. BAAAH.

This latest game I'm playing against the Advent, and I built a colonizing capital ship early, so I was able to quickly expand. I think this time I need to just constantly be building ships so I can built up a force. But THEN I get stuck trying to decide whether to build up my defensive forces or concentrate on building up my attack fleet, because when the fleet leaves, my positions become vulnerable to attack from an ENEMY fleet. The Vasari can build jump gates from planet to planet, so I think I'll try to utilize that feature as a precaution.

I'm excited to try playing on the internet, but I left the box at home, so I'm going to have to ask my parents to read the key off to me.

And if you haven't played Sins everything I just said won't make a lick of sense. XD It's a cool game.

I have SoaSE, It is fun but it is quite different than other RTS's. The gameplay NEVER stops. I am used to the send your men to a certain area, encounter an enemy force then go to a battle map but this is different. I like it but I don't play it that often.

Have you not played it before? How has it taken you seven years to play one of the greatest games ever made? o_O

He lives in Brazil and from what I've heard, It's really hard to get games there.
Well, I'm happy Bananneh finally got his MPT, he's been crying about wanting it for ages on the IRC. :roll:

It's not necessarily hard to get releases (I saw MPT at a game store today. Twice the price I paid by import), but older titles are harder to come by, especially since I don't have a GCN memory card and this can be a bit expensive around here.

Also, Steamlord, I had played it, but never finished it.

Just finished CoD 4! :D

Ending is god damn epic.

And I've purchased MPT as I've probably repeatedly said to a lot of you on IRC, but it's yet to arrive. Had better arrive tomorrow, don't wanna go another weekend without it. :(

Awesome games.

What's 'actual completion', and why does 100% give you only 25%?

I've been playing a lot of CoD5 Nazi Zombies. Mostly due to my dad now being obsessed with that game, and frequent calls of 'You wanna kill some Zombies?" "*Siigh* I suppose so" :P

I've gotten up to round 14 on my own, and round 12 with my brother. Ray Gun + Browning FTW! :awesome:

I don't own COD5 myself but I play it a lot when I'm at my friend's house. We're astoundingly good at Nazi zombies and can make it to round 20 with just the 2 of us. And yes, Raygun ftw, but my favourite combo is the Thompson and Revolver. It's epic win. :awesome:

Meh, I think CoD5 was better than CoD4. But I don't play it at all.

Games just don't really appeal to me anymore. Dear god, Valve stick with what you have been doing and please do not try to do what everyone else it doing. That is why I love your games...

Resident Evil 5 on PC.
Controls a lot easier with a mouse, nothing like the PC version of RE4.
But most of it's elements still suck major dick.
Inventory, Sheva's AI, length, the shop, Sheva's AI, too many special effects, ridiculous hazards and obstacles , have I mentioned Sheva's AI yet?
One weekend ruined.
