Games

Created a HeadCase group on steam. http://steamcommunity.com/groups/headcase Come one, come all!

Since the old thread seems to be gone, here's the new one to post what games you're playing! I'm still on my Final Fantasy XIV binge, because there's so goddamn much still for me to do in it despite the countless hours I've logged playing it. When I'm not busy just being the prettiest miqo'te in the game, that is.

Hello Head-Case. I've setup a dedicated KF server. Server details (Moved by request.) Also taking map requests, whitelisted mods, anything you desire. Could setup multiple admins if one of you would like admin powers. Happy KF'ing!

http://www.theverge....-gaming-console Disclaimer: There isn't a hell of a lot of concrete data or sources behind this article. Take it for the overglorified rumormongering that it is but I personally think there's a grain of truth to the overall broad concept being suggested here. Obviously if GDC and E3 come and go and we see and hear nothing than it's a bunch of crap and we move on. Valve were ambitious pioneers with Steam way back in 2004. This has the potential makings of being another ambitious and possibly pioneering move by them yet again. If basically set themselves up as the Android of the entire gaming world that's huge for them. If nothing…

So I've got the wife's approval on this but I want a rational full run down of why I really should do this. The list that I can come up with goes like this: 1. BluRay player, probably the best of the bunch until Oppo comes out with theirs which may not be until early 09. - Now the question is how is it as a BR player? What sort of remote options are available? Will my Harmony be able to control it? 2. Media center. I've heard rumors about this capability and I'd like to hear more. I seem to remember something about the 40gig (only version currently availble) not being as good as the 80 in this respect. Thoughts? 3. Good gaming fun of course. So have at it, se…

Anyone try the Beta? I liked it a lot, despite the bugs. They did fix a lot of them during the Beta, so they were certainly working their asses off at DICE. I played the XBox 360 version, but the frame rate is too slow, 30fps and slower sometimes. I really want that silky smooth 60fps. Also the PC version looks soooooo much better. I've loved Battlefield since the original 1942 and BF2. I've not been a fan of the Consoled Bad Company versions, though. BTW, the PC Download version is for sale at Amazon for $42. http://www.amazon.com/Battlefield-3-Limited-Edition-Download/dp/B005Q47M56/ref=dsvrt_myd_asin_block We can get a Head-Case squad going as well. …

http://www.ign.com/wikis/xbox-one/Xbox_One_Price_and_Bundles $499 seems about $100 too much but I went ahead and plunked down on Amazon. I figure I can always cancel later if I change my mind. The TV integrated features seem pretty damn cool.

I am just finishing up Mass Effect for the first time, and immediately wanted to replay it as a different character. I love RPGs that have really high replay value. I think ME will be good for at least another good play through. This got me thinking about other games I've owned (specifically RPGs) and whether or not it was fun to replay them. IMO the grandmaster of all replayable games is Oblivion. Not only because of the huge amount of mods available, but also because of the many different ways you can play your character, and the ease with which one can RP. Then there is the flip side, Fallout 3. Fantastic game, but after I finished it I just wasn't compelled to…

I'm normally a run and gun kind of player, but after repeatedly playing Firing Range map so much and losing to the biggest camping whores (lying down in the garage, hallways, etc.) I decided to show them what REAL camping is about. Here's a video of a match from last night where I went 37-0. Attack Dogs + Chopper Gunner = Massacre. Follow through click to the Youtube link for the 720P version. -Ed

I bought this game a while ago and only last night had a chance to play it and it is fun. The single player that i've played feels like you're in a battle. Enemies are smart and take cover in a way that feels realistic your teams mates are on par with the enemies. I'm glad I spent the money and haven't ever tried the multiplayer yet. I'm going to get some friends over here this week and give it a try.

Is anyone else playing? I figured I'd keep the other thread clear so we don't have to listen to @Dreadhead whine about not being able to catch a Magikarp. Zoe and I have been playing daily (nightly?) since the Friday before last, and she is having a blast. She's even a couple levels ahead of me. This game has gotten a very anxiety ridden teenager out amongst people 5 to 30 years her senior, and occasionally we run into her friends from school she hasn't seen all year. I'm having a blast bonding, and having a fair bit of fun with my catch-and-release Magikarp program. Currently I'm 19360/25000 XP on level 18, and Zoe's deep into level 20. Where are you? **BRENT**

Which is better and why?

How Many 90 Year Olds Could You Take in a Fight?

Any HC'ers want to meet up to crawl through D3 together? Lets use this thread to coordinate. I plan on getting the game sometime next week and I should be good to go if others are interested.

I'm just not into computer games ... I guess I spend to much time at the keyboard and really want to go ride my motorcycles. Unfortunately, I'm starting to think I need to review gaming headphones and I don't want to be completely talking out of my ass ... so I've got to get into some game or other. The one game I did like was Microsoft Flight Simulator. Well ... it's not really a game, is it. And the audio was useless for testing. So, I'm looking for recommendations for a game that's got good audio for testing gaming headphones. I like flying around, but I'm thinking not too many flight games are that interesting audio-wise. Still, that would be my preferenc…

I've been playing this for a couple of weeks and this is one of the more fun physics based puzzle games I've played. And I do enjoy my physics games World of Goo is an indie developed game that has you use blobs of goo to try and build structures that will lead the goo to their freedom by an exit pipe. The game starts off very easy, but ramps up in difficulty pretty quickly. World of Goo Free demo on Steam and the system requirements aren't high. Youtube trailer:

Thinking about buying one or the other for my two sons for xmas. They currently have a PS2. I don't think they would be interested in playing any of their old games, and not sure what newer games they are interested in, though I would guess it would be Call of Duty, etc. I know they used to play the ones where you run around the city being a gangsta of some type, forget the name (keep thinking Sin City, but that was a movie) So, which one to go for? From what I understand, PS3 is free online whereas X-box requires a subscription? Also, any deals out there would be appreciated. Like these two need anything else to distract them from school (where's that double-palm…

We tried this with head-fi but it didn't work well because people kinda splintered up into cliques. Anyone interested in getting in some games on friday and saturday nights? That's when i'm usually available. My battlenet nick is: gdloco and i'm on Azeroth US East.

Shot in the dark here, but would any of y'all happen to be on SRK or something? I'm pretty stoked about the new Mad Catz SF4 TE stick. [ame=http://www.amazon.com/Street-Fighter-FightStick-Tournament-Playstation-3/dp/B001M22WN8]Amazon.com: Xbox 360 Street Fighter IV FightStick Tournament Edition: Video Games[/ame] Probably gonna preorder one for my 360 soon. Let's play Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix sometime.

Someone emailed me this little game. It's pretty easy to finish after a few tries. Samsung U900: Samsung mobile phone

Yes, I have lost my mind and spent an assload on actually getting the Fanatec CSR Wheel, shifter, and Elite Pedals like in this picture (not mine pictured, but I have the same set up, including the stand). Although, I did sell off a few nice knives to fund this purchase... The game looks and feels fantastic. I must admit the collaboration / co-branding with Top Gear has pushed me over the edge with getting stuff for this game. Also, the fact that they support true H pattern shifter, is why I got it. Flappy Paddles and Sequential shifter is there as well. The amazing Auto Vista mode (a spin around the car gallery tour, with a feature narration by Jeremy Cl…

So this game is coming out in a few days and I'm pretty sure that more than a few of us will be getting this game. What system will you guys be buying it for. I'll probably pick it up for whatever system seems to be the majority here and we can make a clan or something.

www.hitman.com http://www.vg247.com...man-absolution/ Q&A with the developers. ^^ Watch this gameplay footage. This is a generous and lengthy video. I think they're headed on the right track so far. I see some shades of Splinter Cell Conviction which is an underrated and overlooked gem IMO and I also see a little dash of Deus Ex: Human Revolution in addition to the obvious Batman like radar capability which I hope doesn't make the game too easy. Overall, I still see things that definitely reassure me that this is a Hitman game. I'm not happy about composer Jesper Kyd not returning but apparently that was due to a scheduling confl…

Anyone else play chess here? I play (very very poorly) at a few websites.

I know it was announced a while ago. But today they released some more news at Blizzard Invitational. Gameplay video and a cinematic trailer. Both available as a Bit Torrent download at their website.
