I've been trying to get Mech 3 going. It runs well for the most part except a game breaking bug in only the second mission! An objective never completes so you can never move on! *sigh*

Check around to see if there are any console commands or workarounds. For example, with MW2 if you register with the name FreeBirthToad it unlocks all the missions. There is also a cheat code to finish your current mission successfully. MW3 might have one or the other.

I've looked around for cheats and there appear to be none. I'll try again though.

Sigh. I really must see if I can´t get a hold on MW2: Merc...

At first I thought MW2:Merc would be a DS spin-off of MW2 then I reliesed what you meant by MW2.

Whenever I say MW2 here, Impsnob, I always mean MechWarrior

I thought you had MW2: Mercenaries? I have the Titanium Edition of MW2 and Mercs from way back. Of course I had the DOS version of MW2 before that as well. I have Ghost Bear laying around too. If I can find the disc for it...

I imagine that EBay is the only chance to getting it these days. Actually, it looks like its freeware these days. I found it in the internet archive. No surprise, given how old it is. Activision must have released the source code years ago.

And whenever I say MW2 I also always mean MechWarrior 2:Mercenaries. Usually.

Playing Metro: Last Light. I picked it up last night and so far I'm really happy with it. Went and grabbed a copy at midnight and played for six hours so far. Plays a lot like the first game, it's beautiful in a dark and gritty kind of way.

It's been great so far, hopefully it stays good for the rest of it. Very good survival/resource based FPS game.

Can you compare it to another game? Is it more like Resident Evil or more like Doom?

I watched the opening cut scene before having to quit. Maybe more in a bit here.

Opening was pretty cool though with the beasts in the nightmare. I opened fire before I realized they were my friends.

Neither.

It is much like the first game, if you haven't played it go to youtube and get a look at gameplay. Great games.

You've got to conserve ammo and scrounge for supples. It is resource based in the way that you'll need to manage ammunition and scrounge for air filters and medical supples. Trips to the surface are dangerous and you'll have to manage your air supply while fighting monsters.

It is a linear game with an excellent story set in a very detailed post apocalyptic environment. Several of the weapons look and behave like they're home made. It is a pretty unique setting and story.

I also like the book.

Gone back to Assassin's Creed...

Not feeling the love for much else at the mo...*Le Shrug*...

I beat Mechwarrior 2 with my toons. Now Aela's Witches are ravaging the Inner Sphere in MW2: Mercenaries.

Heh, looks like a 'commando.'

Metro Last Light is the best shooter I have ever played I think.

Stop making me jealous, damn you!

I'm currently planning a game of Pathfinder (think a pen and paper RPG along the lines of Dungeons and Dragons) for me and some friends to play over the weekend. Looks to be a lot of fun, so far; mixing up traditional D&D High Fantasy with Westerns, so it should be interesting for my players to be able to tote flintlocks against dragons and undead.

I hate the spiders in Metro though. Holy crap they sit in webs and skitter around much too realistically.


I think I've heard of that game before. Sounds like fun, who wouldn't want to dress like a pirate and kill zombies?

It's a lot of fun, though it doesn't actually involve dressing up; that's Live Action Role Playing, and is a whole other level of sad.

Oh yes, I didn't actually mean that you all were getting into costumes.


There is a 'medieval combat club' at my university and some of them really get serious about the role playing portion. A friend of mine joined and they asked him to make up a character name. He wanted to be called Mr. Potatoes. They did not approve.

Ahh, good ol´ MechWarrior

Damn you, Sub! When I see your pix I want to play it but I can´t!
