I saw X 3 in Wal Mart yesterday. But as I am going to the land of OSX next week, I am holding off on new PC games.
Its out in the US.
I bid you an early welcome to the land of OSX. |

I'm seriously thinking of purchasing it. I've finished FEAR and I'm getting bored in X3, so I thought a wee ps2 game would tide me over while the other half is killing Ragnaros or whatever the fuck it is this week.
But I'm hearing that they're NOT zombies ?
Omg ?

I was so disappointed by X2 that I can't bring myself to get 3. Anyone want to give a comparison?
For you and Others : THERE IS NO COMPARISON. IT'S THE SAME GAME. If you hated X2 you're going to hate X3. It's that simple. |

I played quite a bit of X2. Its a huge space sandbox with some fighter style combat.
I can see how it's not for everyone and that it's quirks take some accomadation. But it's pretty much the only thing around doing what it's doing and for that they get my support.
I'll be picking this up as soon as I get some free time.

I'm playing WoW again...
What is truly terrible is, I sold my old account when I quit (lvl60 dwarf priest) and now I'm being forced to make a dwarf/priest again. Because that is what we need...
I hate my life.

It's odd - every dwarf I run into is an asshole. It's like they are all roleplaying. Only they are not. |

It was like that with halflings in EQ for me. Oddest thing.

Halfings and gnomes in EQ.
I hated them both, but at least with gnomes you could always emote a "punt" on the gnomes. The halflings I just tried to ignore.

My new game is my Mac which showed up today.
iMac g5 1.9 ghz, 1 gig of RAM, Mighty Mouse, Radeon X600 video card, built in speakers, built in iSight camera, remote control, built in mic, 17 inch monitor.
Ive been messing around with it and I am so far disgustingly happy with it, even if the games I ordered from Amazon Black Friday (the day I ordered this machine.
101 bucks off!) just shipped today and some other tiles from another shipper is in transit. I suppose I could install the Mac games I have from multisystem packs:
Quake (came with the 1996 ID Collection), Diablo 2, Warcraft 3 Battlechest, Starcraft Battlechest, and WoW...
Its almost SILENT though. Its fucking scary. In fact the only noise in the house right now is the clacking of the keyboard as I type. (And get re used to a full type
keyboard after 2 1/2 months of laptop keyboarding....)

If I understand the Mac commercials correctly your IQ should have shot up 15 points just opening the shipping box, and by the time you powered it on you're standing in sort of sun-god robes on a pyramid, with a thousand naked women screaming and throwing little pickles at you.

Actually I was in my undershorts for most of the unpacking process. I knew some package had arrived at the door while I was asleep so I wisely checked up on things before my shower.
I did everything but turn it on before my shower. Setup was disgustingly easy. Unwrap everything, plug keyboard into computer, put power cable in, put mouse USB into keyboard.
Turned it on after the shower (since it was cold outside I didn't think some time to get to room temperature would be a bad thing.
Turn on and initial OS setup was super quick, though it took a good 30 minutes for about 200 megs of downloads. (For a computer that came out in mid October.)
Apparently I am running at 1440 resolution according to Nanosaur 2. Its PRETTY.
Im getting used to Safari, though I miss my forwards and backwards thumb buttons on the mouse. The Mighty Mouse is ok, but it sort of looks like a big suppository. Not sure how it will
game perform though. (Apparently there was no Quake on that Id set, just Doom saga and Wolf 3d. I wonder if the Tenebrae Quake port has a Mac version since I now have a video card
capable of running that sumbitch..) See to right click you can't leave your left click finger on the mouse. It KNOWS WHERE YOUR FINGERS ARE. (Apparently this is fixed on the bluetooth
version, but Wireless costs money and I don't like wireless too much. Some things are better with cables.)
Front Row kicks ass. It turns the Mac into a stupidly simple media center with its teeny tiny remote.
Things I still need to learn: How to read PDF files easily. If Yahoo Messenger for Mac has a go to Yahoo Chat option. How to burn CDs and DVDs not intended for Itunes and such so I can save all my Blizzard game Mac patcher programs. How to exit OS9 apps and not slow down the system when running them.
Sadly I have not become a turtleneck wearing pretentious emo art snob yet.

That's what they named it. The Mighty Mouse. I call it a giant suppository with a lovely scroll wheel I can't stop fondling cuz it feels so darn nice.
I'm apparently the only person on the planet who doesn't mind using it for gaming though. Hell, button 4 is 2 side buttons that have to be pressed
at once and I can do it relatively easily. Was intentionally rolling under death beams in Jedi Academy this morning just to show off. In WoW I
set it to autorun which is ever so handy.
Its not entirely better than my Intellimouse Explorer, but its not bad at all.
However I wished Logitech provided actual support for their gamepads on the Mac though. Telling me to jump in and hope OSX likes it, and
if I don't get full functionality to go buy some dude's 3rd party gamepad button mapper program isn't my idea of quality support.

You had better be some sort of graphic designer/filmmaker...
Mac's are pretty and all, and they have some niche uses, but they are not for gamers.

I love that "niche uses" bullshit...
I do pretty much everything on my Mac but play games. If you call everyday work a niche, then hey...

I'd call every day work a niche. If it weren't for gaming I wouldn't have a computer newer than ten years old. Maybe five years if I really just wanted that fast intarweb luv.

Depends, most of my work revolves around my laptop, so it's more than a niche for me. I'm on my machine all day most days, the fast interweb love is just a bonus.

Second branch of Radiata Stories.
Dungeon Siege II.
HL2DM. Last DM I played was once or twice with AvP. I need another trick besides "circle strafe" but I am getting better.
Silent Hill. Yes, the first one.

Still playing SWG. Just finished Resident Evil 0, going to grab RE4 after the Holy Days. Then I'll be playing through Gothic II again.

I'm playing Zelda: Windwaker again after a year of not touching it at all. I'd forgotten most of it, which is fun.

MTGO, Civ4, Quake4 demo. I also need to finish my replay of Max Payne 2, and my first trek through Dungeon Siege 2.
I'm done school for about 9 months starting Tuesday, so I should have the time....

Back on the WoW teet. Figure to be there for a while.
Almost beat Legend of Heroes, but it's got a boss fight from hell. 30+ minutes into the fight and I wipe to pure cheap shit antics.

Finished second ending of Radiata Stories. I could run through the bonus catass dungeon... but I won't. Even though it started off funny.
Most other games are going on the back burner because of my bastard friends and associates luring me into subscribing to both WoW and EVE. Thanks a lot, fuckers.

That game drove my will to continue into the ground. Problem is I really really really liked it.

Tokobot very good. Prince of Persia very not good. But easily one of the best looking games on the system. I mean, it's not bad. But it's not good. It just is. |

Digital Devil Saga 2 - I may never finish this. I love it but play it very sporadically.
Exit (new PSP game).
Age of Empires DS, which rocks.
Tamogotchi DS, which is more fun than it should be.
And an unchosen survival horror game. I'm sure I'll pick one soon.
