So what's everyone playing?

I'm playing the Empire Earth Beta. Stephen Caldwell Blackfission, CEO http://bf.steffc.yi.org:81
What is it like so far Stephen? When I first heard about Empire Earth on GameSpot it sounded really awesome. Only problem is that I do not have a 3d graphics card so I could not sign up for the beta. I hope it works out and does not cock up like the other MMORPGs being released. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge "In other words, the developer is dealing with an elephant, the accountant is dealing with a bunny rabbit." by Stan Shannon - 16/10/2001

So I guess your alter ego in the computer world satisfies itself by playing games for relaxation. What's everyone playing? I tried Max Payne recently and must say, though it's fairly one dimensional, the graphics are jaw-droppingly gorgeous. On the same note, I must say I also tried NOLF (No One Lives Forever) and found that it wasn't all that it was cracked up to be. Most gaming magazines almost called it similar to Half-Life. Hah! I don't think so. Anyone played NOLF yet? What are your views? "Sunlight: that which makes a monitor difficult to see" - Valve.
Shogun : Total War A nice blend of boardgame mechanics (think RISK/Diplomacy) with real-time combat. :-D

Oh man Worms is just a riot. Having four friends huddled around one computer watching a sheep bomb trot over to an enemy just rocks. I have not laughed so hard in a game as I have laughed in Worms. Kamikazi rules! Bonsai! :laugh: regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge "In other words, the developer is dealing with an elephant, the accountant is dealing with a bunny rabbit." by Stan Shannon - 16/10/2001
Five of us at work, and we stop work for an hour EVERY lunchtime to play it over a network - just as much fun. The idea is not to win so much as to gain retribution at ANY cost... Did I mention I have the Beavis & Butthead sound set and someone else spent an afternoon creating one for Monty Python and the Holy Grail ? Christian After all, there's nothing wrong with an elite as long as I'm allowed to be part of it!! - Mike Burston Oct 23, 2001

I love NOLF, the best game I have ever tried :-) - Anders Money talks, but all mine ever says is "Goodbye!"

Sheep bomb? "...the staggering layers of obcenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001
Sheep bomb? The funniest weapon of mass destruction you have ever seen. Imagine a pockmarked battlefield. Worms to the left, worms to the right, even worms udnerneath you! Some worms lie lurking near a tunnel entrance. You skip past your bazooka, chain gun, dynamite, kamakazie, banana bomb till you reach *gasp* the sheep bomb. A cute looking furry white critter of a sheep. You hurl it, it bounces tither and hither. Each mound it hits it bounces back, bleating as it goes. Eventually it finds the entrance to the tunnel. Worms shreak, your enemy screams in denial. Then *boom!* the sheep explodes killing all within range. It is hilarious. You have got to play the game John. With your sick sense of humour and love of goats you will can yourself silly playing this game. As Christian says, it is all about retribution, not winning! regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge "In other words, the developer is dealing with an elephant, the accountant is dealing with a bunny rabbit." by Stan Shannon - 16/10/2001

I have not played the new Worms World Party. I am from the old school "huddle around one computer" Worm playing community ;) You are dead right though. No other game so effectively encourages you to find the funniest, biggest and most ludicrous way of revenging the death of one of your worms. Hence why I die laughing every time I use kamikazie. for Monty Python and the Holy Grail ? :omg: that must be funny. I think just for that reason alone I will go and get a copy of Worms World Party and try out the Holy Grail theme Monty Python and revenge killing worms... wooohooo! :laugh: regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge "In other words, the developer is dealing with an elephant, the accountant is dealing with a bunny rabbit." by Stan Shannon - 16/10/2001

- Can I go multiplayer on my LAN? 2) Do I have to buy a copy of the program for each player, or will it let me do it with only one copy? "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001

I have not played Worms World Party. Back in high school though we used to play the original Worms and Worms 2. Good fun. Maybe ask Christian about those questions. Otherwise you can find out about the game here at the official Worms World Party site. (turn down your speakers as the menus have a loud voiceover!) Apparently it also has internet play as well so you can challenge Chris to a death match and see if he is man errr worm enough. Be warned the humour is quite british and the voice overs are also british. I find it hilarious but some players think it is daft. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge "In other words, the developer is dealing with an elephant, the accountant is dealing with a bunny rabbit." by Stan Shannon - 16/10/2001

Alas I have not spent the neccesary cash on 3D graphics cards to stay up to date. But if I had I would love to try out Anarchy Online right now. Sounds like good fun. I might just buy a 3D card though expressly for the upcoming World Of Warcraft which sounds, and looks, stunning. A few games I have tried out though on friends PC's lately are Serious Sam (kick ass fun, reminds me of Doom days) as well as Max Payne (seriously cool, slick game. made me feel like an action hero from a movie!). right now I am downloading Worms World Party to get a heady mix of Sheep Bombs and Kamikazie back into my system :) regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa "The greatest thing you will ever learn is to love, and be loved in return" - Moulin Rouge "In other words, the developer is dealing with an elephant, the accountant is dealing with a bunny rabbit." by Stan Shannon - 16/10/2001

I have an ATI Radeon 8500 on order. It won't ship until 11/8. I still have time to change my mind and get an nVidia Ti500... Decisions, decisions... "...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001

I am playing Alpha Centauri and Revenant at the moment. I am in a cash crunch and so I'm playing and finishing all the old games that I never got around to finishing. I also play Freespace2 and Baldur's Gate often. "A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.

I know it's kind of dated, but I am still playing Unreal Tournament online. I've gotten pretty good at it lately too. I also play Quake III Arena but it's kind of lame compared to Unreal. I guess I need to get over to EB or Software etc. and get something new :) Brigg Thorp Software Engineer Timex Corporation

Unreal Tournament is still my favourite. Every Wednesday I get to kill a few work mates. NOLF was pretty good but I'm not too keen on the sneak about missions. I prefer a good fight to all that sneaking around. Michael :-)

We created the Holy Grail sound set, if you get WWP LMK if I can email it to you or FTP it somewhere. Christian After all, there's nothing wrong with an elite as long as I'm allowed to be part of it!! - Mike Burston Oct 23, 2001

1/ You sure can 2/ Strictly speaking each copy requires the CD, so that depends on if you're asking a licencing question or a 'can I burn a copy and it will work' question. You also need to download a patch before it will work over the Internet. It's a half price game, and I only found one copy in Hobart, I intend for us to buy a few copies over time so we stop using burnt ones. I guarentee every player will get their monies worth.
