A few thoughts on this.

Does anyone have defcon? (available on steam for not much)

I think we should begin with what we (probably) know, which is probably some variant of Half Life/CS type game... throwing all those games into the fray isn't going to make organising this very easy.

I'll play the original Unreal Tournament. And I could aquire HL1/CS I guess.

I've got a CD with HL/CS1.3 (and some extra maps).

Can make some copies and send to people if wanted.

You have ages to organise getting hold of one of these games.

 

The idea is to encourage those that might not normally play HL or CS to join in.

Forza 2

I'd second that. Along with Tiger Woods 2007 and Gears of War.

But my laptop can't handle any old games. My 360 can though!

If anybody wants to download airfix for a quick blast later
it can be found here

and the patch can be found here

Nice thing is it lets you blast up the res to modern standards.

Don't know how well online will work but let me know if you donwnload it and we can give it a try.

Forza Motorsport 1?

Never played either?

 

Is one a PC game?

 

Can most people locate it and play it?

 

If yes then why not?

 

:D

How about we book a chatroom and all touch ourselves?

Ohhhhhh <Shivers>





"You Dirty Old Man!"

I second Defcon.

 

Also the usual FPS - I would play CS:S, HL2-DM, UT (any version), DOD:S, STALKER (if we could get it to work) and a bunch of other similar things.

 

If other people happen to have Project Gotham Racing 3 and an XBox360 I'd play that.

 

Otherwise there are a myriad of other titles I would play, but it's all a question of what other people have. Ah, another fun FPS is Aliens vs Predator (2).

How come Fozza gets away with making posts of nowt but giant images, but trig got stuck in the sanatorium for it?

 

Or is Fozza actualy trig?

I'd suggest ~

a~ Fozza's post had a point to it
b~ Fozza didn't do it repeatedly
c~ Fozza would stop if asked (though he already did)

I'd reply ~

 

a~ As did many of trig's ,and equally a link or text would have done the same job as the image
b~ I've seen loads of posts with big images in them from Fozza
c~ He's already been asked or already stopped?

 

I'm not trying to get at Fozza, I couldn't really care less about the images. I'm just remarking on the seeming double standards.

 

Talking of which - I'm pretty sure you edited a post the other day to remove a link to a torrent, but no one's mentioned Fozza's post up there <points> with direct links to pirated files.

The Game was abandonware so therefore not pirated.
I may have advocated finding jim lad versions of stuff for games nite, which I grant you was naughty, but I did say to get rid after games nite or buy the game.

The big images thing tbh Had no idea it was a bone of contention .
I never read much of what Trig wrote and ignored all the disccussions surrounding what to do about him. I just thought he was mainly argumentative for the shake of it and always trying to push people for a reaction so I ignored him.

I am of course more than happy to resize images but in the modern days of fast pipe broadband I normally just copy the urls and stick em in, and think no more about it.
If it is more polite I will take the extra 10secs and resize it.
(although don't we have an automatic resizer now as standard in Beehive?)

I do think having the images in the post rather than a link is better though. (Mainly cos it adds a bit of colour and I'm personally too lazy to click on the links)

Same applys to Youtube stuff, I'd rather it was embedded in the post than having to go to youtube for it.
Also it allows you to maintain the flow of the thread, look at the recent favourite kids tv thread.

Would have been much less interesting if you had to keep following links to you tube come back move down the page follow the link etc etc.
