Am now well into Half Life : Opposing Force (should be done by the weekend).

Then it'll be onto Half Life : Blue Shift, then probably the two STALKER games I have.

Nearly finished Opposing Force . . . . Sammy's working both Saturday and Sunday, I have no money and genuinely nothing I can be doing so it looks like I've got a SOLID weekend of gaming ahead of me.

You need to start playing with other people (online) - it's much more entertaining

With a son on the way I'll say never again !!

online

I used to in non-competitive games (I used to play DAoC) but when it comes to playing against others online I know I'm crap and getting my ar$e handed to me doesn't appeal.

I dunno. Maybe I just need someone to hold my hand.

Cunning Plan · January 13, 2011, 10:14:22 AM

If / when I get to play games, it is usually online.

I currently like GT5 on the PS3 and a bit of ol' Skool Counter-Strike:Source on the Mac.

Both I start playing for a bit, but if there are ridicuously good people playing, I start to mess about. GT5 is funny as you can park your car with the hand-brake horizontally against the pit wall or something which turns any serious race into destruction derby!

I can't remember how you add friends on steam - think my name is monkeyonabike or monkey0nbike or cunning plan - I can't remember, but if you add me, at some point we may be able to join the same server and shoot some terrorists. Failing that, it is always fun to run around chucking grenades at stuff

Roadkill · January 13, 2011, 10:21:03 AM

But it's all so scary.

I'll cover your back big man

If you download CSS ready, I might be able to have a few rounds about 21:00?

Have a quick go to get your keys set etc

Remember, save the hostages and defuse the bomb!!

Sorry - only just saw.

Don't tend to go online at home much (I use the 40" LCD in the Lounge).

Plus there was alien ar$e to kill.

Roadkill · January 14, 2011, 04:08:25 AM

On a sidenote I've now completed Half Life: Opposing Force.

It was a good game - alot easier than the original HL and I found the baddie at the end a piece of p!ss to kill.

Bit disappointed in the end.

Am now on Half Life: Blue Shift . . . . . The plan is to complete ASAP as the basic graphics are really starting to irritate me.

I've got the STALKER games still - plus I'll look to download CSS over the weekend.

Graphics on CSS are super good. And there is a real physics engine, so you drop a grenade and it rolls down a hill - same as HL2

I've got the STALKER

I bought this on my steam account a while back, I think I still have it, although it isn't supported on the Mac. But, I didn't get into it as it is more of a RPG FPS. It defiantly gave an impression of 'nuclear wastelands' though.

Yeah - have just been reading about it.

People online usually use it to block door entrances with barrells etc, as you shoot the barrels and they fall over in the door way, put a few together and people can't get in without shooting them again - which reveals where they are on the map.

On CSS, CS_Office is a good map. The terrorists have hostages in an office building, if you choose to be CT (Counter-Terrorists) you have to storm the building and rescue the hostages by leading them back to the rescue point. However, you need to protect the hostages as they can get shot too, so you need to work as a team with someone infront and behind the hostage rescuer to clear the corridors.

If you are on the terrorists team, you have to obviously have to stop the CTs getting in. In the boardroom the second set of hostages are kept, as a T you can throw a grenade behind the filing cabenets in the store room which explodes throwing the cabenets blocking the door entrance. You can then wait and unload into the door way to stop the CTs.

Fun Fun.

yup played the original CS for aggggggggges and every now and again (although not for along time now) i'll fire up CSS!

Cunning Plan · January 14, 2011, 05:31:11 AM

"Awwww who team flashed."

Roadkill · January 14, 2011, 06:36:32 AM

Hmm . . . can we get a squad together ?

Roadkill · January 15, 2011, 07:57:15 AM

Have now completed Blue Shift . . . . in about 6 hours . . . a bit disappointed as it was easier than Opposing Force.

The ending was pretty damn simple,too.

I think it's just the STALKER games left,now. And GTA4, too, obviously.

Will have a look on steam now to see how much CS:S is at the mo.

EDIT - CS:S is £13.99 a the mo - that'll have to wait until after payday.

Roadkill · January 15, 2011, 11:24:42 AM

Just been playing STALKER for just under three hours . . . . . I still have no idea what I'm supposed to be doing or what it's all about.

I haven't given up on it but it's definately hard-going . . . .

Not sure I'll be going the distance.
