Ah, I should have made my other post from future projects here.

I am beginning to feel the effects of age on my gaming. I can't press buttons fast enough to be competitive as I was years ago, so I have settled into Simulations mostly.

Started out with a no-name console from S. Korea my uncle brought me in the mid 70's. 4 versions of Pong (squash, hockey, etc) and a setting you could draw on the TV. Then on to the C64 games off of cassette drive. 11 minutes to load Blue Max.

My first purchase on a credit card was the original NES and Legend of Zelda. Goonies, Bases Loaded, Excite Bike, Ring King...Super Nintendo gave me Gaia, more Zelda, the desert storm tank game...,Top Gear

I then hopped over to Playstation & PS2. Favs from that era include Need for Speed, Gran Turismo, Virtual Fighter, Ace Combat, Final Fantasy.

My son then bought an Xbox. Spiderman, Halo, Grand Theft Auto...Finally the red ring ended that.

As I already said in another thread, he and I played WoW for 7 years, and helped build an all-tauren guild called Thunderhoof Clan. He was a virtually unkillable druid, and I played a shaman. I was average at PVP, so mostly focused on the community and playing my role as one of the leaders of the tauren tribes. We had a confederation of Horde-side RP/PVP guilds which was quite powerful for a few years, throwing huge server-wide battles. The 'Hooves still run strong as ever today. Nothing looks as cool as 30+ tauren lined up and ready for battle.

Other great PC titles we played: Rollercoaster Tycoon, Command & Conquer series, Jane's WWII, Flight Sim, IL2, Sims, Starcraft, Warcraft, Diablo. He is now into League of Legends, and I occasionally still take out an airplane. We both played Diablo 3, and it was ok.

I am trying to focus on recording now, so stop talking about games! :nervous:

Seriously right?! Hahaha! I was waiting for a gaming thread to pop up sooner or later...I was actually going to start one myself. V0RT3X beat me to it.

I love me a good game...but these days I'm so focused on music I only use my game time to decompress...when work tires me out and I'm too tired to be creative...and let's face it, if you're tired scrolling through a bunch of soundscape presets on Alchemy ain't gonna help the situation!!! :zzz:

Word is "Far Cry 3" came out today and it's badass...I might pick it up. Then again I might not and I'm sure my music (and my fans) will thank me later!!! :angel: :rotf:

Just purchased Super Mario world and have it almost beaten within 3 days of purchasing. I remember when this game used to cause me some serious torment.. lol

Over the past 48 hours I've become ridiculously distracted by this mobile game called "Pumped BMX." I know right? I actually ride BMX so it's kinda that "daredevil" side of me coming out...I need to put my phone/iPad down every once in awhile just to keep it together!!! HAHAHA! I exaggerate...but it's fun.

Oh yeah, and rumor has it "Santa" hooked me up with Far Cry 3 after all!!! Nice. :tu: :maniac:

GOG.com

You can get the classic DOS shooter Tyrian 2000 for free when you sign up to Good old games!

Tyrian is one of my favourite arcade games! It should have been a true arcade game, however I think it was only released on the computer. This is the full version too you get for free! It is absolutely a blast!

Has both OSX and windows games! Most are for sale, but some are free ;)

Been playing the Brutal Doom mod, which basically enhanced the gameplay of classic doom by like ten! It is incredibly gory.. and while playing it 1440x900 it glitches up my computer like a older computer might.

I have been playing this while listening to Aubrey Hodges Doom Playstation soundtrack and whoa this is a very creepy experience.

It is INTENSE.

Here is a screen shot from one of my sessions.

As I mentioned earlier, I'm a warcraft geek. I am Minister of an all-tauren guild on an RP/PVP server (role-playing, player vs player), and we love to create a spectacle by all appearing somewhere. Tauren are the largest playable race in the game, and seeing an all-tauren guild is really rare.

Here we are marching into our faction's capitol, Orgrimmar during a recent role-playing event.

I am just amazed that 30+ people can organize.
