Emergency Medicine Class Matching in 2013

[Loon]

I want to play either Skyrim or Space Pirates and Zombies. But anything will do. I just need to do some computer surgery.

And I want to go to for some retail therapy at any local electronics store. But that's another story.

I vote for Sid Meier's "Pirates!" (Xbox incarnation)

I had the original back on my APPLE IIgs (which should tell you how old I am). It was incredible then as a strategy game, and the updated graphics/cutscenes etc just make it more fun.

Totally gonna play it tonite when I get home.

 

[RustedFox]

Im totally addicted to civilization 4. Sad eh?

Have to share this. Brilliant.

The parallels to Orwell's 1984 are spooky.

No way. About a month ago that's all I played.

Im trying to tackle it at Immortal level. Bloody hard.

Ahh ya I read about that guy's game. Craziness. Nothing but pollution and nuclear fallout everywhere.

Skyrim is pretty awesome, but my computer is too slow to enjoy it. Going to get a new computer soon as match day hits and I know I am safely matched someplace.

Three supernations, locked in an eternal, unwinnable war. Internal factions (guerillas) frustrating the effort.

That is an excellent game. It's so excellent, that I may just pull my XBox out of storage right now...

Civ V is my current vice.

Lots of good basketball on this weekend!

Just read through a bunch of the Comments section at the bottom of the page. I'm literally crying onions and hiccuping at the same time. Incredible.

It really is so great. 1000+ ways to play.

That's awesome.

Where are my FPS peeps? I'm still playing Battlefield 3 a bunch... guess this weekend is as good a time as any to go back to CoD:MW3 or Black Ops 2 for awhile.

Battlefield 4 beta this fall. Pretty excited.

Have any of you had angry orchard?

'Natty Light. FTR.

Maybe Milwaukee's Beast as a close second.

Haaaaaah.

After a long shift, I enjoy a Foster's Oil Can and a cold, frosty pint glass.

MOAR video game talk, please.

Any other people out there that are serious "pinball" devotees ? Probably not; but pinball is a true game of physics manipulation/skill. There's nothing better than a real table and a silver ball.

Not sure if I'm a devotee, but I do love me some pinball. My all time favorite has to be Medieval Madness. I eagerly await the day I can afford a couple machines.

Medieval Madness is regarded by many to be THE best game since the late 90s.

 

[SeekerOfTheTree]

Does anyone remember Chrono Trigger?

Fantastic game. Great system, large colorful characters, a plentitude of weapons/armor/gear.

Sequel, please (and don't say Chrono Cross was a sequel. It was great, too - but it was not a sequel).

Wow, I didn't realize it was so popular. They had it as a pool hall my friend worked at and I would play it every time we went.

I agree with you. Chrono Cross doesn't count as a sequel. I miss the good old days of gaming.

 

[SeekerOfTheTree]

The funny thing is I tried to explain the storyline of Chrono Trigger to someone the other day and they thought I was crazy for liking it.

 

[Loon]

I've discovered that Japanese-style "RPG"s don't really do it for me anymore. The stories are often nifty and convoluted, but there's really only one way to play them and it often didn't feel like that much skill. (Although I beat Chrono trigger and I think the opera house scene from Final Fantasy III/VI is one of the greatest things ever to be in a game)

I tend more towards 4X style games these days.

 

[sylvanthus]

I bought Baldur's Gate Enhanced Edition the other day. Anyone a Baldur's Gate fan?

 

[DreamingTheLive]

While I'm sure the ladies on this forum don't mind the Brad Pitt Chanel No. 5 countdown reference, can I please make a request for a sweet Final Four reference of some sort tomorrow? I'm sure some of you can find some pretty unique/obscure images. Tis the season.

Thanks in advance!

8 bit NES had an awesome pinball game. I used to spend hours playing it.

 

[gimghoul]

Anyone else a big turn-based strategy fan?

Civilization, XCOM (old school, can't wait for the new mac version to come out), and Panzer General are probably my three favorite games.

Dude I was hardcore back in the day. Remember Boo and Minsc? How hid Boo was something I always thought was interesting.

Quakelive is the best first person shooter and it's free on the computer. Quakelive.com.

I love TBS games. Even more if they're 4X (expand, explore, exploit, exterminate) like CIV.

 

[engineeredout]

If we're talking old school PC games, then I gotta say The Command and Conquer series rates as some of the best games ever made. Love the original but especially love Red Alert 2. Generals was fun for what it was but like RA2 more.

Also for old school games, Age of Empires 2 is probably one of the greatest games ever made.

 

[sylvanthus]

Anyone old enough to have played the old school Might and Magic and Bard's Tale PC games?

 

[gimghoul]

4X is fun, but sometimes I just want tactics. XCOM is the best.

 

[EMquest3]

Masters of Orion anyone?

 

[winkleweizen]

You guys are killing me with this video game talk, haha. I have hardly played a video game since Super Mario Bros on SNES.

 

[EmergencyNYC]

Go Green!

 

[Loon]

How about this?

 

[Loon]

dammit. Just got beat. And did it wrong, too.

 

[winkleweizen]

Go Green!

How did the game after that one treat ya?

 

[EMquest3]

There's room for all kinds of "fours"

This is how I'm going to feel until noon.

I hear they're re-releasing AOE2 with updated graphics.

I'm a few days late for the video game party chat.

But I ALSO had Pirates! on my Apple Macintosh Plus. My lord, that game is amazing. Black and white graphics, spent countless hours sailing the carribbean in that game. As I grew up, and my computer's evolved, I was heavily into Warcraft 1, even more into Warcraft 2, and ultimately played even more starcraft. Age of Empires 2 was unreal also once I finally got a PC in addition to a apple. Never got into the command conquer series, but know it was great.

In high school, I played a fair amount of Unreal Tournament and Counterstrike as my nerdiness took over. Sadly though, I had to play all the above games over a 56k modem. Can you imagine?
