Age of Empires was an amazing game.
I used to love Sim City too. After buying Sim City 4 though, I got bored quickly. :\

I used to play a load but I've uninstalled all my games to have room for my computer to actually run at something approching running. Online pap I'll still eat up happily, and I forum and research a bunch still but I've fairly recently discovered my body's really god for stuff as well as my mind and began to move around much.
I'm not sure weather to be ashamed of looking at pictures of naked people or not, not that I'm sexually repressed.

Can't get away from the damn things
World of Warcraft: Stormrage, Maccy the lvl38 undead warrior, Maccus lvl11 Night Elf priest
Counterstrike ID: Puresock (But I rarely play)
UT2k4: Puresock
I used to play on Xbox live a lot but I don't these days, thanks to WoW. My tag is Puresock there, too.
Feel free to add me to your friends lists if you want.
Aside from online stuff I play a fair bit of Warcraft 3 wth my housemates and I'm into Silent Hill 3 at the moment. Between me and the rest of my house we have almost every console worth having and we play them an awful lot
Tekken 5 is the current game of choice. I suck at it.
I like games.

ohh, me too! Warcraft 3 rocks my world (sad git that I am).
Age of Empires is amazing, and got me into RTS's. Actually that's a lie, Warcraft 2 got me into RTS's... Anyone seen AoE 3 yet? :dribblesmiley:
Battle.Net name: Egress
But I only play custom games cause I get hammered every time I try to play normal ones.
I'll start playing shooters again any day now...

Fantastic, good to see some gamers out there. but for some reason you all seem to be into RTS's, everyone to there own i suppose. But in a way that is a good thing, and u'll descover why that is a good thing soon enough. ne how i'm personally a fan of FPS's the games that push the PC to it limits.
Did you know the home computer market is advancing so fast because of PC games. Games push developers to bring out faster CPU's and better graphics cards. tis the only bed thing about PC gaming, your always having to upgrade!
Any how, has anyone thought about writing about the games you play, ahve you ever wanted to tell the world how good a game is or how bad a game is? have you ever wanted to publish you veiws on the internet? tis another thing i'm interested in (bare with with me a point will become apparent). Have you ever wanted to get legal! free games for just writing your oppinions?
can't say i ever got into counter strike, bit slow, but UT 2k4! best Multiplayer FPS in my view. havn't played any games online for a while though, too addicted to circus skills, donno if its a good thing or a bad thing really.
had my xbox for 3 years and never got round to getting it on xbox live, just really use it for 4 player halo. one of those things that you mean to do for years but never actually get round to it.
also, (how geeky is this going to sound!!!) but anyone like to share there PC specs? or am i the only true computer geek on this site? surly not! (to those of you who are not computer people whill mock this, but those closit geeks out there will jump at the chance to chinwag about there computer, comeone u know you want to. ignore the mocking! they just don't understand!) a computer is just like a very advanced more indepth mecarno kit?

never really been into games programming much, although I did write pacman under playstation 2 linux a while back. PS2 programming is worth it if only to know how to turn your gamepads into vibrators
Counterstrike (the original, now version 1.6) is in my view the best online fps and has been for the past 4 years. The fact it still has a large user base is testiment to this. When PCs started to get good enough to show video clips and companies started releasing games that had stunning (for the time) graphics it quickly became apparent that it was gameplay and original ideas that made great games, not sfx. You can be completely immersed in a game with cheesy gfx if the concept is good. Counterstrike has the perfect balance of realism, unrealism, gameplay, a dev team that are willing to continue releasing free bug fixes and features years after it's release (like 16:10 mode recently for us ponces with widescreen tfts) and people still making new maps.
it doesn't sound too geeky, but it is a bit off topic for the forums. I post on other forums like kustompcs for my geekiness addiction. I'm more interested in looks and quietness of PCs these days, as opposed to specs.

Haven't got anywhere with programming, only got metal balls to levitate, and robots to walk around rooms, but thats all in my course. What i was meaning has anyone wanted to write reviews for games. have you read a review in a mag and thought they didn't have a clue what they were saying and wanted to put them write?
On the couterstrike matter, i know its the biggest online FPS and has over double the fanbase of UT (obviously the original UT is the superior). but that all depends on what you like, the more skilled gamer will play UT because it requires more skill to play and is not based on who see's who first (but thats what any UT lover will say, everyone has there own view)
Never really got into forums very much, even the one i run i don't actually post much on, its really bad! but hay if you would be a stoner!

assuming that you make money from your site and your comments were to encourage people to write reviews for you, i'd say that constitutes advertising, which isn't allowed on these forums (technically having a url in your sig is slightly naughty)

well i was technically only hinting, which is more subliminal advertising... but to say that i made money from my site would be wrong, as i don't, not a penny, dime, or cent. And encouraging people to review for me isn't advertising, but more recruiting. finding people with similar interest. I'm one of those people who plays games, then reads reviews and disagree's with the review and what to publish my opinion, (got my opinion published in PCZone once, was well chuffed). so i started writing about them... although I'm not saying that i wasn't motivated by the idea of publishers sending me review copies of games before they came out for free. I've got hardware for review and been able to keep it. imagine thinking of a peripheral that you want, but can't really afford to buy it, and to get it all you have to do is write a few words on how it works to get it for nothing (obviously the person writing the review would keep the peace of hardware/game, its only fair). it helps them(the companies), and it helps you.
And about the url in my signature, it wouldn't let me put the full https://
etc etc but it would let my just put PCRules.com. so assumed its not really a problem as its not really a proper url link

I like the odd gaming spree. Mainly Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield 2. Am part of a mod team called 'Who Dares Wins'. I work as a skinner.
Played HL2 and a bit of CS Source. Have also recently been asked to join a HL2 mod my friend is making. He's a multimedia developer by trade so should be a sweet mod.
Built my comp for gaming and graphics,
Pentium 4
3.0 GHz
512 RAM (upgrading to 1GB soon)
120G HD
GeForce 6600 256 DDR
Sound card of some description and I have a creative 5.1 surround system.

I have thought about doing reviews in the past, but only with the view to make money, so if i were to i'd make and host the site for it.
I gave up collecting computers a while back and dejunked my life. I have access to enough (perhaps too many) PC/linux/unix boxes at work anyway and this way I can concentrate my money better. I currently have 2 laptops, desktop, HTPC/fileserver and a 1U colo server. My main box is:
Barton XP 2500 running at equiv to 3200
1Gb Crucial DDR400
Gigabyte GA-7VM400M Motherboard (SATA, Raid etc)
200Gb SATA drive
1200Gb IDE drive (for backups)
DVDRW Dual Layer 12x
7in1 card reader
Geforce 4 Ti4200 running at equiv to 4600
Audigy 2 ZS Soundcard
Hauppuge Nova-T Digital TV card
802.11g Wireless Lan
Sweetspot SVideo/Component Capture Card
Akasa AK-MCHC mATX Transparent Case
SilenX <14db 520watt PSU
SilenX case fans <20db
Dell 2005FPW 20" Widescreen TFT
Logitech MX1000 mouse
Coolermaster Aluminium Keyboard
Creative 5.1 Surround Speakers
Sennheiser RS120 Wireless Headphones
I plan to replace the gfx card with a geforce 6800 soon and add an lcd within the next month, possibly going for some water cooling of the cpu/gfx to keep the whole rig below 20db. I'm not too bothered about CPU speed at the moment. A fairly recent picture of my desk can be found here.

Probably more of a gamer than most, as I go to LAN parties occasionally, and have far too much spare time that needs filling. I've played Call of duty and Call of Duty: United Offensive beggining to end, then done it all again. The last month I've done Deus-Ex (Damn good game) and Deus-Ex: Invisible War (crap, but I found out about Kidneythieves who did some of the music)
It's more fun playing a team game with actual people, and you can play drunk without getting beaten too badly, safe in the knowledge that everyone else is in a similar state (plus there's the satisfaction of hearing your opponents screams )
My rig has been neglected as I've been putting so much money into file / web / mail / DNS servers and firewall stuff for an internet cafe (including a sun E450, bet my computer is bigger than yours ), and LED poi.
current gaming system :
Shuttle XPC SN45G
Barton 3200
512Mb (Dual channel at 200Mhz cause I got cheap memory)
ATI Radeon 9700 Pro
200 + 60 GB HDDs
Benq 1620 DVDRW that can burn 16x on nice cheap 8x discs
MX1000 mouse
Want to get:
Transparent case (so I can put my LED poi stuff to use somewhere else)
DFI Lanparty SLI mboard
AMD FX-75
2x 7800 cards.
but I'll probably end up getting an LSI 8ch SATA card (4 drives per channel) and making an even more ridiculously huge file server.
I haven't been to a Lan Party since I joined HoP

You aren't thinking or really existing unless you're willing to risk even your own sanity in the judgment of your existence.

@Flid: Oooh. Preeeeety *drools*
My box is pretty ricey at the moment. can run bf2 though, so i'm happy. Admittedly everything is on low and i'm getting about 30fps, but still. CS:S runs nicely, as does HL2, i can play most (if not all) games on the market, with the exception (probably) of EQ2, but i'm not much of an MMORPGer.
Speccy stuff:
Athlon XP 2600+ (running std, about 2.3Ghz, i think)
1gb ram. ddr 333, i think, but i could be wrong there, it's been a while since i put it together.
geforce fx 5700LE, 256mb ram. Getting a bit tired now, that card. loved it, though.
120+40gb IDE HDD
120gb SATA hDD
onboard sound (yeah. go me
)
Logitech 6.1 surround setup. goes well with the dodgy sound card
LG dvd burner
thats about it, though. If/when i get a job, a new box is going to be one of the first things i get. Leaning towards alienware at the moment, but custom builidng is more fun.

Only got an iBook so don't play on games much (one of the reason I got an iBook).

Why let your body be a temple? When it can be a theme park?

I just upgraded
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ Venice
Abit AN8 SLi nForce4 SLi (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard
Corsair 1GB DDR
ATI Radeon X800 ICEQII TURBO 256MB DDR3
Western Digital Caviar Special Edition 250GB SATA
It's so beautiful... Fixed it all up last night, jumped into UT2k4, and whacked all the detail options to full. Yum. Same with WoW - very, very pretty game.
UT2k4 is, in my opinion, the best multiplayer FPS around. I don't know why so few people are playing it online these days
CS bores me, it's way too slow. And all you people who play anything other than CS:S are wrong, wrong, wrong Feel free to stick me on your buddies list, I'm going to be playing it online more these days I think.

Giants: Citizen Kabuto is absolutely hysterical, it's such a shame that it got almost no sales.
Deus Ex is my favourite game *ever* hands down. It's the only game I've ever gone out and found a player for the music for. I now have a CD with all the best music from it.
yay for pushing the boat out! I knew there were some more geeks here

After much consideration, I find that the view is worth the asphyxiation.
