i see. that sucks. sort of. mac has never been a gamers computer.
i don't really know why. they're more than powerful enough, and the
video cards they stick in 'em these days are absolutely the coolest shits
this side of the "so i fucked my cousin" thread
I recently checked out a game called EVE: Online it is one of those MMORPG, but it is in space and there is only one server.
The first time I logged on there was 16,000 + people playing on it! You can fly anything from a little one seater space craft, to a giant battleship (like the star destroyers on Star Wars) and the game is HUGE!!! I have been playing for four hours and still have olny made it half way through the tutorial!!
its pretty fun, and I have seen some crazy ass space battles in my short time playing. there was an intersting artice I found about how far people are willing to go to achieve certain thing ingame...
as for the size here is a map of the entire universe, every dot is a star, comple with its own planets, spacestations and other uniqie things.
and the map is 3D so some of the stars are stacked so that means that not all of the are shown
after my recent escapades that have landed me in the drunk tank and other undesireable places, I decided that it would be a good idea to stay in and conserve the cash for awhile....
this should do nicely
oh yeah, you can download a free 14 day trail at fileplanet.com its only a 500meg download...

is prey really good. i have that shit rotting on my computer because my dvd writer doesnt currently work.
I wasn't to impressed with it, although the game is visually stunning, and the level design would have made Escher proud I got bored with it in no time at all.
Although there are some moments that I thought were pretty cool...
When the aliens arrive at the bar your character is at. Blue Oyster Cult comes on the jukebox right before they start fucking shit up with the giant green lasers...
and when you are on the spaceship in the early stages you start hearing Art Bell on some radio, talking to people who are seeing said spaceships all over the world...
at least give the demo a try, the level design is fucking unreal...

in some of the later game play, you come in contact with the jukebox from the bar.
it's crazy because you can hear it echoing through parts of the ship, then you come up
onit in some pus filled chamber....totally crazy
I can't believe that their is gonna be another Shadowrun!!!!
I remember when you finish that game that they say to watch out for Shadowrun 2. That was a long time ago, at least 13 or 14 years.

YUP! Prey is great, haven't tried the multiplayer yet because I have it for the 360 and I haven't bothered with a Live account. Single player is great for an FPS game, but if you don't like playing those games single player then you're not going to like it anyways. It's 3D Realms back in top form ala Duke3d.
And speaking of the 360, I've been playing the ever-loving shit out of this game, it's so awesome:
Hopefully some of the hotlinks work. Seriously, I spent 10 hours on this game the other day. I even got the acheivement for killing 53,547 zombies (population of the town), twice, because the first time I didn't finish the game and couldn't get the Megaman gun. The Megaman gun pwns. Hard.

it looks awesome indeed but does anyone remember the game state of emergency it kinda reminded me of that.. i havent been playing shit lately. i should get on it.

Yeah, I've heard and I see that comparison. It's really more like GTA, though. It's a continious, fluid environment with missions and mini-missions. It's like some crazy fuckin' mix of GTA and Resident Evil. And there are literally hundreds of zombies on-screen with no slowdown, and in the maintanence tunnels there are thousands. It's absolutely fuckin' wild and the only downside is that there is no "free" mode, where you can just run around and kill stuff. After you beat the game (72 hour mode, takes about 10 hours), you can unlock "infinate mode" but there are some serious disabilities, such as you lose health every 5 minutes and food doesn't respawn.
It also manages to be really, really funny while also being creepy and disturbing. Plus, you can stick shower heads into the heads of zombies and watch the blood pour out of the shower.
Also: lead pipes, bowling balls, potted plants, parasols, scythes, hedgeclippers, chainsaws, small chainsaws, machetes, cleavers, machineguns, benches, golf clubs, hockey sticks, baseball bats, katanas, swords, battle axes, rocks (sick), barbells, dumbells, novelty masks, giant lipstick bottles, sledgehammers, and many more.

No need for the HDTV, I'm running it on a 27inch CRT flatscreen, big ol' backend television, through component inputs, it looks sweet. The 360 is money, though, but I had to buy it after I played COD2. Still, cheaper than the PS3.

And I would say that if you REEAAALLY like zombies and you can deal with getting over an early difficulty curve, it's worth it.
