Any Gamers Here?
It appears that I am the only World of Warcraft junkie here since no one replied to my other post. But how about video games in general?
Any play Halo or other Xbox game? Guitar Hero?

Re: Any Gamers Here?
Well, not Halo or WOW or Guitar Hero...but I play Fable and Morrowind and FFVII and FFVIII and will admit without shame that I love DDR and completely suck at it... I've been looking for any good RPGs for XBOX, you know any?
....O.o I don't know whether to be disturbed or amused that I just found a bit of the aspen bedding from my snakes' enclosures on my spoonful of ice cream.

Oblivion is probably the best RPG on the 360. FFX1 sucks mightilly.

Re: Any Gamers Here?
I played WoW for a long time but stopped about 3 months ago, I felt a little old for the majority of the crowd. I do play 360 a fair amount, I played halo for the MLG for a year or two(I'm just THAT cool :rolleyes: ) but I don't anymore. Oblivion is as good as an RPG can get, as I hate the FF series.

Re: Any Gamers Here?
You could say we're both gamers! (my partner and I that is). Although I play PC games such as the wonderous ZooTycoon2, and live action RPG's (currently gaming D&D online since our group lives in three states), my partner is the mega gamer. Not only does he own a PS2 with which he now is playing God of War II and PsiOps(sp?) and finished FF12 recently, but he is schooling now to be a game designer. :)

Re: Any Gamers Here?
Oh, and since you're a WOW player, and I can never resist a little dig at WOW... You might appreciate it (or maybe not! :)) here's a parody of Hamlet's "to be or not to be" soliloquy which I wrote last year for my AP Lit class.
The W.O.W. Addict’s Soliloquy
To pee, or not to pee—that is the question:—
Whether ‘tis better for my game to suffer
The pain and discomfort of outrageously full bladder,
Or to leave WOW against a sea of protesting comrades,
And by leaving be abandoned by them?—To quest;—to be part of the group,—
No more; and by a bathroom break to say we end
The belly-ache and the thousand natural twinges
That flesh is heir to,—‘tis a consummation between posterior and porcelain
Devoutly to be wish’d. To leave the game,—to sit upon the throne;—
To pee! perchance to ruin the game:—ay, there’s the rub;
For in that room of porcelain god what doom may come to characters untended,
When we have shuffled from the computer room,
Must give us pause: there’s the respect
That makes a calamity of so long playing WOW;
For who could bear the lashes and bites of a level 39 Bloodfen Lashtail,
The traveler’s bane, the lone fighter’s nightmare,
The hardships of the lone wanderer, the help’s delay,
The insolence of n00bs, and the spurns
That leavers of the computer must take,
When he himself might his comfort make
With a bare bod-kin? Who would the discomfort bear,
To grunt and sweat under a heavy bladder,
But that the dread of something happening after exit,—
The undiscover’d dungeon found, from whose depths
No traveler returns poor,—puzzles the logic,
And makes us rather bear the pressure we know
Than to fly to the toilet and leave unguarded our prize character?
Thus fourteen hour game-play and ten cups of coffee makes fools of us all;
And thus the native thoughts of tactics
Are sicklied o’er with the yellowish tint of thoughts of potty;
And enterprises of great import and danger,
With this thought, the success turns towards failure and potty,
And we lose the title of Group Spellcaster.

Re: Any Gamers Here?
Oblivion is my game. Haven't played it in awhile (haven't really had time, unfortunately) but I love it!
Also enjoy Grand Theft Auto... I can't wait until the next one comes out, though I'm very disappointed that it's only coming out on PS3.
-
Re: Any Gamers Here?
I tried WoW and just wasn't that impressed. I do play City of Heroes/City of Villians, Magic Online and a plethora of other small games.
We also have a Game Cube, PS2 and Xbox that see use for all different types of games.
Lately we've been into playing board games. Current favorites are Carcassonne and RoboRally (can't WAIT for this to come out as an online game).

Re: Any Gamers Here?
i mostly play sports titles. i have a ps2, old xbox, wii, and a ds.
i just watched a trailer for the new resident evil game for the wii. it looks amazing. i can't wait.

Re: Any Gamers Here?
I was hooked on WoW for quite a while, but since I started college I haven't been able to play. My brother was majorly obsessed with the game up until a fewmonths ago. I'm happy to say that I wasn't eve as bad as he was about it :P I still like games...I'll play just about anything. I love the 'Tycoon' games on the PC and the 64 is, IMO, the best gaming system ever!! I got my own PS2 to bring to for Christmas last year, but my brother has all the games at homw, so I'm working on my own collection a bit :P
This is an older thread, but it's a gamer thread too. ^_^ Lots of WoW ppl :D

Re: Any Gamers Here?
I enjoy a good MMO, I just can't stand the WOW crowd. It is a great game, and Blizzard is one of my favorite game designers, but I just couldn't get past the immature player base :rolleyes: . I been playing Vanguard for a while, but just started playing LOTRO and think it is the best MMO to come out for a while.
I used to play a lot of Guitar Hero II, and I still indulge in it every once in a while, just to get frustrated at Hangar 18, or to fail Jordan about 50% through :D .
I used to game a lot more than I do, just too many things going on anymore.....

Re: Any Gamers Here?
I've gamed for years off and on primarily PC gaming as I work in the IT field. There are/where a bunch here who played WoW and some old posts about it. I quit playing ... I can't remember how long ago now and I "encouraged" my wife to drop it at least for the summer so we had one less bill. I play FPS but am pretty sucky LOL, also like RTS most recently C&C: Tiberium Wars awesome graphics especially on a nice big wide screen LCD. A friend of mine has a LAN party every few months where we run little tournaments as well as as just playing for fun a variety of different games. Sometimes they turn out to be more of a social gathering than gaming which is fine...its really just about all of us getting back together.
I am actually getting away from games somewhat and especially for the summer. It got to the point where I would be behind a computer(s) 9-10hrs a day at work, go home have dinner and within an hour or two be right back there on the computer again. I was wasting my life away or so it kinda felt. My wife and I have become much more active with regular exercising and spending more time outside as well as with our animals. This summer I've even gone so far as to leave my computer at work (laptop) so unless I specifically have a computer at home I'm building or working on the temptation is not there. Wow sounds like an addiction doesn't it! I may have been or it may just be my getting older and realizing there is life outside of the digital world! I'm sure once winter hits again I'll spend more evenings in the warmth behind the screen playing some game or working on my webhosting stuff or a forum etc.

Re: Any Gamers Here?
I play everything but mostly PC. I used to be into the WoW and Starcraft group but now i'm more into FPS like counter-strike or day od defeat. I play my 360 alot too but still, PC tops it with fps games and because I can modify the games. Not a fan of Halo because the combat is completely unreal. I just watch my friends play and they jsut jump around and shoot at each other until on dies after 100 clips. Its kinda rediculouse(sp) when the Halo games have futuristic armor and defense but their guns suck when compared. I'm not sure why the clip isnt bigger to easily take down a persons shield AND kill them :rolleye2: . If you want real combat, play Gears of Way. AMAZING

Re: Any Gamers Here?
I am huge gamer. Big fan of Halo, Halo 2, Age of Empires, Command and Conquer, and a HUGE WOW junkie as well :D

Re: Any Gamers Here?
I am terribly addicted to Guild Wars, just can't get enough of it. I have quit everything but Guild Wars, am on it almost every night.
Am I the only one?

Re: Any Gamers Here?
I was reading the WoW website today to see if I should buy it. I have a friend who refuses to leave his house now that his computer's fixed (going on 7 months now). All he does is play WoW, so I might have to check it out. I really only ever got into PS/PS2 Tony Hawk series, Tekken series and the Tenchu series.

Re: Any Gamers Here?
Well, at the moment playing Forza Motorsport 2 on the xbox 360, its ace!

I LOVE Guild Wars, but I played so much that I kind of wore myself out. Not playing very much right now because I'm a full time student and I have a full time job.
I'm also a Game Art and Design major. So, YEAH, I play games. :D

I play WoW. Only 'cause SWG went to hell. But I'm waiting to get the emu version of SWG. I don't really play much consoles anymore. But I was into FF7 big time when it came out.

Re: Any Gamers Here?
I'm such a WoW addict I'm playing it right now. :P In fact, I have my own Horde Wildlife Warriors guild on one server, with my Hunter who's pet croc's name is Bindi. :) She's my fave to play. I have a bunch of alts too, mostly Horde with some Draenai hotties for good measure. They and the Trolls are my fave to play! I much prefer Horde, but... Draenai are so freaking cute! :P

Re: Any Gamers Here?
I used to log 40-50 hrs a week on WoW, but that went down a lot when Blizzard released BC which imo ruined the game. People raid less, no one cares, the whole attitude of the game changed. My guild was in Naxx when they released the gear in BC, we didnt touch an instance till BC came out. I was happy when I had a reason to quit WoW.
I moved down to orlando, fl to start school at full sail for Game Development. So I am very easily considered a gamer as I am making it a career to make them.
I am done with WoW and proud of it, will prolly never go back. I have however logged about 70 hrs of FFXII in the past two weeks before school started. My first day is tomorrow, and its a 12 hr day, so my game time is gonna be hit very hard as school avg about 80 hrs a week.
Guitar hero 2 is my 2nd most played game after FFXII, hard is still kicking my butt though. Back in the day I would spend weeks playing FFVII (the best FF game by far), FFVIII, FFIX and FFX. I didn't waste my time with FFXI as it was as exciting as watching paint dry.
Racing games right now are Forza 2 and Need for speed Underground. I got a PS2, Xbox, Xbox 360. Right now the ps2 is played the most, but it goes back and forth between that and the 360. But try and get my computer invovled too as its newly built by me and actually more powerful then the 360 is. PS3, wont give it the time of day, even after they drop it down $100.00, still wont even look at it.
My name is Daniel, and I'm a gamer.

Re: Any Gamers Here?
Wow! A lot of action is this thread since I left it!
I have been a gamer since I first played Pacman and Donkey Kong in the 80's. I currently play WoW every day for a few hours but not as much as I used to.
To those who said they got bored at 50 or so, you missed out on so much. The game doesn't even start untill end game. One of my main problem with COH/COV was there was no end game at all. You hit the level cap then nothing.
The Guitar Hero games are the best games to come out in a while. I've beat both on expert (except the bonus songs). Look forward to the new one coming out in a couple weeks.
I was Halo junkie. WoW took me away from it. I still play on XBL every now and then. Especially when friends come over. HAve had Halo 3 on reserve for a year. :)
Loved FF games untill 11. 11 is to hard core an MMO. Took forever to get anything done. And 12 just bored me to death.
I used to be into RTS games but 1000's of AOE games burned me out. And not to mention no new innovation made since AOE2.
I like some sports games but only the mulitplayer. Love Burnout games in crash mode.
So yeah, I am a gamer and always will be. I'll be playing Halo 33 and my Xbox 14 or playing Tekken 20 on PS15 when I am 90. :)

Guitar hero is fun, but it's weird to spend that much money on a game when you can already play a real guitar. :D

Actually, I do play a real quitar. In some ways GH is easier and in some ways it's harders. Solos on GH are much easier because you only have 5 frets to deal with but some rhythms are harders because they only need 1 finger one on fret of a real guitar but the GH control makes you use multiple fingers and frets.
And GH games are way the heck cheaper than any real guitar. I am just fortunate to have and enjoy both.

Re: Any Gamers Here?
I played asheron's call for years miss it but have to update this computer to play anymore online games. Will look into the online D&D once we've gotten a better computer and may be get back int AC.The best xbox rp game in my opion is the baldur's gate games, why is it that all games are only one player these days as Both jo and I enjoy them but it's hard to find multiperson ones for gaming systems why we both will head back to online gaming at some point.

Re: Any Gamers Here?
I forgot to mention that I was originally on Shadow Council and still have some chars there. However, a friend went over to The Scryers and I moved over too and have a lvl 60 undead lock, Horde FTW! The server population on The Scryers is so low that we are thinking of moving back to Shadow Council. Look me up sometime if you want.

I played EQ started july 1999 when WoW started up I started in Nov then lost all interest in EQ mainly because it didnt tailor to casual gamers that didnt like to spend 2 hours looking for a group so they could lvl. EQ sucks to hard way more involved and you cant solo and progress fast.

I play WoW on a large scale, lol ... When I'm not here, cleaning cages or cooking I'm playing World of Warcraft. I haven't read this thread at all and I'm very likely to be bashed upside the head with a snake poll for playing this game but I love it. If there are any other WoW players on here then... "For The HORDE!"
