hi, btw..

=WARNING: EXTREME PEDANTRY AHEAD=

I hate when games just give things random names…

=END OF PEDANTRY. WE NOW RETURN TO YOUR REGULAR VIEWING SCHEDULE=

I fully endorse this product and / or service.

not been around much recently, so tottaly missed this thread –

Congrats mate!!

PC all the way for me. Had a working 360 for over a year, and the only kind of games i preferred playing on it were Pro Evo and Need for Speed/Gran Turismo style games.. and I only fired it up maybe a dozen times – since it buggered up I’ve not replaced it.

As for the price, I had to replace my GFX card this year, but that was because it died (my fault, poor conditions I keep it in – for reference my xbox has also died, but not my fault, kept it in good nick. Not RRoD either, so no extended warranty for me) – got one for under £90 that does me fine, and have recently built new machines very capable of decent gaming (she uses it for warcraft, so i’m extrapolating with the “decent” qualifier) – built my rig 3 years ago, felt no need to upgrade since.

The biggest thing about the 2 choices for me is the style, and yes, quality of the games available. As stated previously on this thread the most in depth console game doesnt measure up to the engrossing qualities of most PC games. I also like flight sims, and the only one’s I’ve played on a console have felt more like late-90’s arcade-y flight sims (Strike Commander, anyone?) – hard to get a ‘feel’ for the environment at all. There are always exceptions, but by and large, console games do feel like they are aimed at the widest possible audience (obvious really, why cut yourself out of a massive market of people who 6 years ago wouldn’t have classed themselves as ‘gamers’?) – i’m not taking issue with that, I think it’s great to introduce a new generation and an older generation to an avenue of entertainment they would otherwise have missed out on, however, that level of ‘pick up and play’ simplicity just doesnt do it for me.

Biggest example of my bias towards PC games has to be Bioshock. Kinda bought into some of the hype around it before it came out, got it for my 360 and spent the next eight hours dissapointed. Much prefer halflife – million reasons why.
A mate of mine was dead excited, but he’s a console kid through and through..
Played it on the PC shortly afterwards, and it just felt like it was made for a console throughout, with no thought given to how tactile it would feel on a PC. Its my biggest gripe with games in general at the moment, too many console-ports…

anyway.. ’nuff said.

In summary, both have thier place, but for ‘serious’ gaming, PC all the way.

Assuming the series is Chronicles of an Age of Darkness;

From Wiki –

At different times, the novels portray or allude to murder, bestiality, female genital cutting, cannibalism, racism, sexism, speciesism, abortion, masturbation, mutation, incest, inbreeding, constipation, assassination, gambling, drunkenness, brawling, diarrhoea, capitalism, leprosy, castration, slavery, evolution, patricide, regicide, venereal disease, forgery, treason, dwarf tossing, torture, orgies, incontinence, suicide, disembowelment, capital and corporal punishment, drug use, religious fraud, bribery, blackmail, animal cruelty, disfigurement, infanticide, the caste system, democratic revolutionary movements, rape, theft, genocide, transvestitism, premature ejaculation, prostitution, piracy, and polygamy.

So, which of these first attracted you to the series? 😉

and is it any good? The comments about the guy completely changing his writing style from book to book sound interesting…

Its coming that time again lol…

We have 8 days to decide if we keep the server or not, lol, im happy to donate the same amount again lol.

Anyone else? lol
lol

Fixed for lulz..

And also, no. I’d rather see us ditch the current server and look for one thats not multiplay.. someone mentioned a good price on rackable in TS a couple weeks ago? Could have been paddy? Could have been Gonzo? who knows..

But if anyone is planning on spending ca$h on it, then they may want more stability / less lag spikes than we are seeing currently. Could also be why we are struggling to attract passing traffic..

On the other hand.. 7DR server appears solid as a rock.. and is also usually empty.

🙁
