Morning Discussion
So what are you guys playing this weekend? I'll give a Call of Duty 4 t-shirt randomly to someone who posts in the thread. Oh, and this gallery should populate itself with some good shacker creations over the next couple hours if you would like to take that in.

geedeck
replySo what are you playing this weekend? Is it awesome? Is it lame? Why? Should people check something out? Is it cool or is it wack?

Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Stranglehold.
-
Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow
-
-
-
I'm playing it now too. Not very far into it but I had played it before (rental) and decided it was worth a buy. It's really fun so far and a few levels have alternate ways to solve them which sometimes makes you want to go back and figure out why you couldn't solve it the easier way. Rent it first at least to see how you feel about it. You can get to the second world in about an hour to an hour and a half, and that should give you a good feel of how the mechanics are laid out.

-
-
probably Rock Band and Beautiful Katamari. Although I was depressed to hear that half the world is empty in BK and its expected to be filled with pay content. :(
-
Crysis, haven't had time to play it much this week. I got a gift card to Gamestop, so I'll probably cash that in tomorrow on CoD 4 for the PC. I liked the demo fairly well, so hopefully the full game is 10x the awesomeness.

-
Rock Band & GH3
-
Zelda: TP, Zelda: LttP, SMG
-
-
-
-
Probably The new Sam & Max Season 2 episode. Its been on my back burner for awhile.
-
Im playing a LOT of rock band and if I can find a wii in stores this weekend I plan on playing the funk out of super mario galaxy
-

Galaxy and S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

This weekend I'll be playing some COD4, some Need For Speed Pro Street, some Halo 3 and a tad smidgen of Crysis (still gotta play with my 8800GTS to see how chewy Crysis is).
-
Oh and maybe some more Ace Combat 6.
-
-
Dreamfall, its awesome so far.
-
I'd play that free psychonauts, but my video card is not up to snuff.
damn, I need to upgrade from my GF4.
anyone throwing a video card out soon? -
TF2, TF2, TF2!
Oh and probably Bioshock in the mornings when none of you slackers are awake :P
I'm sure no-one needs to be told that both of these games are awesome.-
[deleted]
-
-
TF2, assuming I don't repeatedly get fucking CUtLinkedList Overflow errors, or get constantly kicked out of servers due to redirection, WTF that is.
I also sucked it up and reinstalled X3: Reunion 2.0, several months after having lost my saved games in a HDD crashed. Still fun, and I was able to get a lot farther a lot quicker this time around. -
[deleted]
-
Heavenly Sword, Uncharted, and a little more Super Mario Galaxy. 37 Stars and counting!
-
[deleted]
-
Assasins Creed, Mass Effect, Ratchet and Clank future, TF2, Forza 2, shit... too many to list.
-
Ah crap Forza 2 is another I need to get playing again also.
There is just too many good games.
-
-
Galaxy - 23 stars and starting to get really into it now. I love my new Wii and it loves me.
Then I'm going to try and sneak in some WoW or cancel my account.
I've got HL2 - EP2 sitting there (on PC) and not installed yet but my mind is turning to Skate, Mass Effect or Stranglehold.
Oooh need to finish Bioshock, Dead Rising and I've got another 3 Wii games to unwrap.
Ah fuck there's not enough time in the day. -
-
Hey can I borrow those for 8 months?
:(
-
-
Mass Effect, Zack & Wiki, and Disgaea: Afternoon of Darkness. Oh, and more TF2.
-
I'm addicted to Garry's Mod again. I always load it up with the intention of attempting to build something grand, but it never fails and I get side tracked blowing up watermelons or something equally stupid.
So I'll probably waste away my weekend doing that.-
If I have time this weekend, I'll definitely be doing some Garry's Mod stuff.
-
-
-
I will be playing the fascinating game of "Schlep PA and Lighting gear all over the city of Binghamton, NY" - we're busy getting ready for First Night festivities. ( http://www.southerntiercelebrates.org )
(Oh, and playing BioShock finally. I'm hoping it will be cool! Also picked up Psychonauts from Steam, so I'll be checking that out too.)
And on New Years' Eve I'm doing backline audio support for these two acts at the BC Forum kids' show: http://www.fredgarbo.com and http://www.lazervaudeville.com/promovideo.html .
I like doing the kids' venue 'cause the acts are usually fun, wacky stuff and the kids always get a big kick out of them! -

OMG I just started the CoD4 campaign last night, too!
-
-
I'll come play multi with you now! I'll just run in guns blazing yelling "DURKA DURKA MOHAMMED JIHAD" and get blown up really quick
-
and then you'll be able to see where the other team is hiding from the fire from their guns, and you can kill them.
-
-
psh, who needs levels when I have ALLAH on my side?

Jeez if all these fuckers with CoD4 actually played we could have a freaking Shack Ground War game.

I'm playing go to Hawaii and lay around drinking. I hear the graphics engine is even better than Crysis'

I got a DS Lite for Christmas from my parents. My girlfriend hooked me up with Mario Kart, parents got me Brain Age 2, and I got the DS that comes with Zelda. I've been playing Brain Age 2 every day since I got it, and I played some Mario Kart for a while yesterday. Waiting for a time when I am alone and it is quiet to start on Zelda, which may happen this weekend and may not. Either way, Brain Age and Mario Kart are a blast, so it doesn't matter.
I know, I know, welcome to 2005 right. It's new to me! :D -
Kane&Lynch on the PC. I liked the game a lot until I got to Havana. All the tension and
excitement was gone. I could as well play Ghost Recon: Advanced warfighter... Nothing wrong in that game but not what I wanted from this one.
The controls are quite sharp. Apparently they aren't in the other versions and it plays well in most ways.
What a nosedive after the good beginning. Well... Guess I have to finish it sometime soon.
(Oh yeah! I played Hitman games too. They're extremely badass!) -
I just got a 360 for Christmas and I bought a bunch of games with Christmas money. So I'm playing Crackdown, Dead Rising, Forza 2 and Halo 3.
I'll probably also play some COD4 online on PC. I really thought TF2 was going to be the best multiplayer game this year, but I love me some COD4 multiplayer.
Oh yeah and I'm just about done with my play-through of Deus Ex this year (I'm on Area 51) -
HULK ULTIMATE DESTRUCTION BITCHES!!
-

-
I'm playing call of duty 4 and rock band. Yes, both are awesome and no neither is lame. Yes you should already own them.. Both are super cool...and if it was wack why would ya play it??
-
Get the last piece in Z-Dub already, though I might revisit Ep2 for a couple achievements I missed.
Wack games, I do not play them. :[-
Oh, and geedeck, I've had the game since day one and should've put it away by now, but Galaxy came out when I was like half way through it. The Box, came out within a week or so before it's release, as well. So yeah, it still worked out as it became the perfect game to play in between rounds of TF2 and acquiring Grand Stars in Galaxy. I've finished Portal, Galaxy, and Episode Two since I started playing Z-Dub and am now 16 out of 17 inches pieces deep. Still McLovin' it.
Zack and Wiki. Wack, it is not. :[
-
-
CoD4, WoW and maybe some Portal.
-
[deleted]
-
CoD4 and R6Vegas
-
-
Getting back to Stalker is going to be hard since I'd have to remember the controls and what I was doing and al.
Mass Effect, finish Dead man's hand, Tomb Raider Legend (free on gametap), Marble Blast Ultra and of course try to make Painkiller work on my vista comp (the joys of games for windows) -
COD4 on the 360 >:)

Finally getting around to playing through Crysis. Need super low settings and it still hitches, but there are some awesome moments in it.
-
ALL MYTHOS ALL THE TIME
-
Orange Box (Can't wait to start). Will also play some co-op Hunter the redeemer with the wife and maybe a little Co-op GRAW2 as well.
-
-
Really? I played it yesterday for the first time and didn't mind the shooting mechanics at all. Now the degradation of equipment, that blows goats.
-
it's not System Shock 2 bad. I haven't had anything completely stop working on me, or even get so bad that it would jam constantly. The armor is probably the worst bit. I try to carry at least one extra suit of armor so when the one I'm wearing is fucked (for me, around 65%) I can dump it and put on some good stuff.
-
But at least in System Shock 2 you were able to repair any damage. In this game I just don't want to use any of the weapons I like because they'll get fucked. It's still early on, but still, if you're going to have degrading weapons in a game, at least have the ability to repair/maintain them.
-
-
-
Like I keep saying, it's not clumsy, it's just completely different from what you're used to. If you're playing S.T.A.L.K.E.R. run 'n gun you'll be massacred. If you stick with it and adjust to S.T.AL.K.E.R.'s ballistics, you'll almost find the game easy. You have to account for bullet flight time and bullet drop, along with learning accuracy. The pistols have relatively correct accuracy with respect to the SMGs and rifles in the game (i.e.: it's hard to hit anything beyond 10-15 yards without taking quite a bit of time to aim). When you pick up your first SMG you'll start tearing through people like crazy, assuming you've figured out the ballistics.
-
The feel of the guns is definitely rough at the beginning. You really need powerful guns and a scope to get a feel for the potential of the game.
-
-
I guess we are a rare breed, I absolutely loved stalker. No piece of armor or a gun will last forever in that zone. And the guy you are controlling is not some sort of muscle bound dude that he can carry every single weapon you come across.
I hated leaving a sniper rifle behind in one of my "stashes" but I had to do it since I was going underground. I swore to myself if I ever made it out of the x labs I will get my sniper rifle back.
See how awesome that is? I guess I just try to put myself in the STALKER's shoes. and I'd pee myself if I ever had to go in a real life x-lab X(-
-
I applied the real gun names mod so I don't know what ones your talking about, haha.
But once I got this gun:
http://www.snipercentral.com/svd.htm
I had no trouble in the long distance battles. :P-
I don't remember the in-game names either. You get the M4 in the same area where you have to help out Kruglov the scientist guy against the Mercs and the G36 is in the hands of some of the Freedom members, is you might want to let one get killed by the Monolith guys so you can take his G36. It's seriously almost as accurate as the SVD up to about 300-400 yards or something, it's ridiculous. You don't get the F2000 until you're inside the Sarcophagus, but it's easily the best all-around gun in the game. Insane damage, super accurate, and it has a grenade launcher. Once you pick one up you won't need anything else. With the F2000, regular 5.56mm ammo does more damage than the 9x39mm SP-5 (the one with the yellow stripe on it) from the VLA silenced one.

Mass Effect. It's amazing. This is one of those games where I can see all the flaws and weaknesses that caused it to only get 8/10 scores, but it does everything I want games to do so well that I don't give a shit. Like Deus Ex, the obvious flaws in the game are more than compensated for by the scope of what the devs tried to achieve.
Plus I made Shepard look like the gayest guy this side of the Village People.-

I'm about to fire up Bioshock. For whatever reason I didn't get into it after about 8 hours of gameplay. (that's like 1 hour of gameplay to everyone else, i am slow and check everything out). I started really liking it after taking a break for a bit, and am excited to finish it. :D

Assassin's Creed, Mario Galaxy and Castlevania: SON.
All are good...AC is a little repetitive, and everything that's not in the crusades is lame, but I'm still enjoying it.-

Pirates yarr
-
Just 2 missions left in Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance. Having never played a Fire Emblem game before, and being a big fan of turn-based strat RPGs and difficult games, I still say this was quite a brutal experience. To get through a mission without any party members dying, stealing all the gear you want, not breaking important weapons, getting all the new members to join your party first time through is punishingly difficult to achieve. A lot of serious strategizing is involved but there are still quite a few things that are out of your control, such as your character's stat leveling, that can tip the balance between winning and losing pretty easily. I still have been enjoying it, but it's not for the weak of heart.
-
Eve Online, and probably Bioshock. Assassin's creed might show up from gamerang too!
-
Mass Effect, just beat it in fact.

I got CoD4 for Xmas, so I may try and get some of that going.
-
assassins creed, mass effect, rock band
-
Castlevania: PoR, Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops and hopefully Rock Band.
-
Drink the beer. Great game that people should check out if they haven't already. It gaming value will be multiplied x100 during the Giants vs Patriots game.
-
Hide the Salami. Yes it is awesome. U know Y. Yes Check it out. It's cool.
-
Deus Ex. Some serious shit has happened since I left off yesterday and it's freaking me out. Also the game is hard.
Team Fortress 2: Im addicted :( -
Mario Galaxy and Stalker.
Stalker has me really shocked, I know it was hyped up and then I just didn't hear much about it when it was released - but so far it's fantastic, really damn creepy and atmospheric... my only gripe is that the mods I want to use seem to break the game and make it crash past a certain point in the game early on -
Super Mario Galaxy. BTW, did you ever send out that Rock Band shirt?
-
-
thats what you get for drinking all those sodas!

Say what you want, but UT3. Running people over on those hoverbikes is just too addictive.
-
I am playing a sidetrack on a well west of Kettleman City.
I expect to eat at Harris Ranch if I get a break during business hours.
If I am lucky this sidetrack and drop back to vertical will only take 2 days and I will be back at my house for the new years Orgy that I have planned*.
* Plans and actual events are subject to change. -
HL2, as playing through the prequels to Episode 2 is a required step towards enlightenment.
-
The Witcher and TF2.... hopefully I don't resort to DotA
-
