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

Ahh, good ol´ MechWarrior

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

Well download it! Or buy an old copy off Ebay or Amazon. The big trouble is getting it to work on a modern computer. MechVM makes that easy - doing all the configuring of DOSBox for you. I could not get Mercenaries to work on my Windows 7 box, even with MechVM. But it does work on my Windows XP box.

I knew I should have gotten XP for my latest computer and not fall for 7

XP=Best Windows evah

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

Same here. Last Light is excellent in almost every way. Despite having paranormal activity and giant monsters, the game still manages to feel like it's set in the real world.

The story was good, this game was definitely built for patient gamers. If you rush through shooting you won't get the most out of it because you'll miss important bits...you'll still figure things out but it won't be as satisfying.

Stealth is key and on the Ranger Hardcore setting, necessary to survive. Ammo is insanely scarce and it is difficult to survive.

I'm going to try "Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning" Later on tonight.

I'm just playing with the normal settings. I haven't played a shooter in a long time so I want it to go easy on me.

I have not played a whole lot. All I need to say is damn Pavel.

I tried that one a while ago.But the camera just drives me nuts, and I found it impossible to use ranged weapons. I gave up after about an hour or so.

Is it that bad? I get motion sick easily.

It is not so much motion sickness, but its placement is too close for you to see what is going on, and it tends to aim down at the ground. I seem to recall it had a weird habit of jumping around to the worst possible viewpoint as well. Basically, it made it hard to see the game I was playing. The aiming with bows was just terrible. There is no first person option, and I could not hit anything at all in third person, thanks to the camera. Google "Kingdoms of Amalur camera" and you will see tons of complaints.

It took some getting used to but KoA is a pretty good game once you get into it. The world is huge and the factions are interesting. Most complaints are about the camera.

It does get repetetive at times but most large open world games do.

The devs of this game went bankrupt shortly after releasing this game so sadly it seems that a sequel is unlikely.

Sad that more unique game makers like this fall into obscurity while ridiculously shallow and mindlessly watered down RPG companies do great. (Lionhead Studios I'm looking at you)

[McBadgere]

I sunk some quite considerable hours into KoA and I bought the two DLC packs as well, so I guess I enjoyed it a teensie bit... ...

Though, I did play a magic-knight Templar type so maybe I had it easier to play than some classes...

I really really enjoyed it...It doesn't do anything flashy, but it's definitely good enough to get lost in...(for me anyways )...

It was a damned shame there's no sequel...

Playin´ some WinBrick on my old Compaq 520. Just the demo with only five levels, but sooooooo addicting!

Also on the same computa, some domino, chess and Wolf3D. And this is just today!

[SubRosa]

Aela is piloting an Atlas now, and is investigating a mysterious new menace from beyond the Periphery.

Nice shot I don´t remember though what my favorite Mech looks like.. I think it´s the one from the cover.

First session of Pathfinder was runwith me and my (very small) group. Eve, bow-wielding Half-Elf rogue, and Gettysburg, greatsword-toting fighter, found themselves clearing out quarry filled with zombies. The players did good; holed up in an office, lured the zombies into a building, set it on fire and then jumped out of a back window. Brought the whole place down on top of them and got away largely intact (Gettysburg took a bit of a beating, but not before he took out a good five zombies with that sword of his; for a character who was level one, he kicked a pretty significant amount of arse).

Now Eve and Gettysburg are off to track down a rogue necromancer...
