What's Adventure Quest like? Anyone played it? It's advertising it at the top.
Did you give up on Nethack, GK? *stern voice*: Stick at it!!!

I have some of the most beautiful graphics in adventure games known to nerd - I really do owe those games a little more of my time.  If I'm having a low tech day I'll go back to Net hack - although the version I have is extremely brutal! My tip: if it's advertised in a banner on proboards - avoid it! (although I was intrigued by a flying fairy warrior one) -If it's the one I'm thinking of the whole thing looks like medieval Pokemon (monster A vs. warrior B) with simple vector graphics, not sure what the "community" feel would be like in a game like that. |

I briefly played Retpon (Balderdash) last night. It's a downloadable "widget" for the Opera browser - along with Tetris and Missile command. widgets.opera.com/ |

^^ Hurrah!  Do you get to second base with Princess Zelda? Brought quite a few games with me to mums. Much deliberation is spent over game selection.  |

Oh Diablo! How much fun the first few levels are. |

I didn't bring the box for Halo, which is a bit dim of me because it contains the installation codes.  Nearly 20th level in Diablo though! |

I'm still hunting bandits in Baldur's Gate. Can the characters die of old age?  |

Finished it. Must be a sort of record for me. Only bought it on Friday afternoon.  Erm. Unsatisfying climax -and lame ending. Fun though, mostly. There's a few locations which might be straight copies of ones in Quake 2, which is nice. Of course I started playing it from the beginning again, but this time as a leff/loo-tennent. ooh feel the burn! Plays without the disk (if DAT500 wants to borrow my copy when he gets back ) |

That's a good point, now I can get back to Oblivion, Fable, Morrowind, Baldur's Gate I, SW:KoTOR. |

STALKER is in my English abode, I hope April goes quickly.
At the moment I'm replaying Zelda: Wind Waker, which is lovely and I'm in a debate as to whether I prefer the cell-shading to Twilight Princess.

I got a free 14 day WoW trial. (Came with The Times.)
I've never played before.
Should I take advantage of it for 14 days or will it suck me in?

What do you mean by good? Space, operating system, speed?
I wouldn't start it til next term (mid-April) anyway, as I can get on the computer more when I'm up there.

I just mean are the general specs up to standard to play WoW - I'd check first, or it could be a lot of fuss followed by disappointment. (I only say this because I've spent the last few years of my life scouring the backs of games boxes ... or living in a strange retro world where everything only runs in MS-DOS ) |

I dunno. I have the CD here, but I don't understand the more complex stats on here. Maybe it's just more trouble than it's worth.

Jack of Blades is wupping my ass.
(It would help if I could remember the keys. Never take a break from a game!)

I'd forgotten that Wind Waker turns into The Legend of Capitalism about half-way through!

All you need is cash! Which bit do you mean? Have I seen it. Went back to playing Morrowind last night - been fighting goblins in sewars and getting poisoned by the Dark Brotherhood ... must level up, must become powerful! Had one of my gaming hangovers today. |

They are two very fine games! Totally addicted to Morrowind now. Kill, go shopping, training, killing, shopping, complete quest, sell stuff, shopping, kill more monsters, sleep, train, level up, shopping. |

STALKER is incredible. Just breathtaking in scale, ideas and the sense of vulnerability - like Deus Ex meets Operation Flashpoint. The day-night cycle is also implemented flawlessly.
Today! Call of Juarez and Prey arrived. The former is fantastic (Far Cry with cowboys!) and the latter is very, very shiny.
