Luxor 2

Sega Superstar tennis (whatever it's called)

Feeding Frenzy

is what I'm working on until Thursday night!

Luxor 2.... :angry: I just finished playing that game for good so that I could bring balance back to my gamerscore. Thanks the OCD in me, I couldn't accept a score that didn't end in 0 or 5.

It's sad, I bought puzzle fighter just because it had a 7 point achievement for the same reason. OCD FTW!

gotta say both Fallout 3 and Far Cry 2, although very enjoyable games, are lousy for achieves...oh well, i may not make 30K as planned by the end of the year. let's see if 28K is possible. any news from other people?

With Mirrors Edge, World at War, L4D, Gears and a few others, you'll make it. I don't know how many of those you plan to play, but I expect to be well on my way to 50k by the end of the year. I'll make my "40K by 12/1" goal very easily.

welcome, Andrew, and thanks for joining the club.

rookas, i thank you for the encouragement, let's hope you're right. of those you mentioned, only L4D isn't on the list...yet. tuesday should be the last batch for me...COD, Mirror's Edge, Red Alert 3. so you're thinking 50K for you by year end? wow, ambitious, i like!

and congrats to DM for finally making 12K. i think last time he turned a digit we were still talking about Bioshock.

It probably was yeah lol. I have a pile of games to get through since then :/ and not enough time..

great hearing from you Jordan, you should post and help rally the troops more often. and welcome to Brad, although not sure about that avatar...oh well, sack boy's pretty cute. but that name...

time is always against us. there's never enough and we're always running out. so can't help you with that jonny - just think of it like this, in a hundred years, our collective gamin days will be long over :cry:

forget that and just focus on all these great titles we have here. like i told munky, this is a freakin gamegasm.

so no matter how many points you contribute, it's all good - the holidays are almost upon us!

Jesus, I am completely smashed, I spent the entire week-end playing Gears of War 2 but I crawled back to 13th

The worst thing about that I ordered GoW2 from Amazon.co.uk because I prefer to play my game in English (and I really hate those French traductions made by school-boys and 3rd rate voice actors).

It turns out that UPS has somehow lost the package or it fell from the truck.

On Saturday, I bought a game from a local store and it turned out that the English track is also on the dvd sold in France, so no need to bother ordering from the UK and the game is almost welded in the drive.

Still, I am so going Hammer of Dawn Style on UPS butts.

Gosh, I really need conselling.

no counseling needed my friend, you're entitled to your fun, this is the festive season after all. congrats on 33K btw, and didn't know the French versions were done by schoolboys heh heh.

anyhoo, 13th place is pretty good - look at me, stuck there below neyo, that never-poster. arrrggghh.

seriously, i was this close to giving up on it - it's so trial and error, you need to do jumps fifty times before you get them right...but it's a gorgeous game anyway.

have to say this is the most gaming bliss i can recall - there's so much to enjoy, i'm pretty sure we'll still be playing all this come Easter.

At least, I doubt I'll even get to Far Cry 2 by then. I've still got Mirrors Edge and Left 4 Dead to pick up, and gamefly finally shipped Dead Space today. My PS3 is getting ignored right now, and I recently bought 3 new games for it that I haven't played yet. I've probably spent around $300 in the last month on games. I don't know why I have to buy them when they're new when I know I won't have time to play them all, just a compulsion I guess.

I remember everyone saying that the 2007 lineup could not be topped, but personally I think 2008 has been a much better year all round. There's just so much to play.

jonny the jury is still out on 2007 vs 2008. i think it's just that this time it's over a shorter span - pretty much everything came out mid Oct to mid Nov whereas last year it took four months. however, for us Gears 2 is a deciding factor which wasn't there a year ago, while for those with the other console Resistance 2 fills that niche.

Rookas, why are you feeling conscious of this? it's not like you're buying heroin off a pusher, they're totally legit entertainment products. don't feel bad, you're not addicted, it's called being a hobbyist and it's a good thing. at least we're passionate about something.

    • Never had a problem with TPM and started using that many years ago in Win10. Through several motherboards and OS versions, it just does what it does without complaint. My games library doesn't even know it's there. Secure boot does a lot more than support anti-cheat, as it came along long before anti-cheat software. I've used it religiously since before I started using TPM, and I always liked it for being able to nullify virus contagions that try their best to come in underneath the firmware during boot, so that the OS doesn't see them, etc. That is its purpose, imo. I'll never understand why people who elect to use another OS feel compelled to run down Windows... I guess they need to do that to feel secure about their choices? I run Windows because it supports all the software (including games) natively that I want to buy, and I've never had to run down another OS to make me feel better about it. (Although it's certainly possible to do that, of course...) Win10 is on a ventilator atm, and Win11 is very close to being free, and I finally got to stop running StartAllBack as I moved to the Experimental/Dev channel and my 26300.8553 build supports the moveable taskbar and it's running fine at the top of the screen! Finally, my last major dislike of Win11 is being rectified! So, I'm not at all surprised to see Win11's share of the Steam survey hitting 70%.
    • I can answer about the Linux bit. I only used AMD GPUs. I currently have a 9060XT (8GB) that fits my needs, I'm not a gamer, so I don't need that much GDDR. But lately, NVIDIA has grown a lot in the recent years. Oh, the horrors of NVIDIA drivers not working. But they have been getting better. I know a lot of members onm here that are running cachyOS and other distros, and are fine with a 4090/5090 variants. Really, though, I would stick with AMD variants.
    • Everything they say you can already do yourself on the registry by changing some things.
    • Artist's renderings are so much nicer to view than the real thing, don't you think?
