Favorite PC Game

[frigidweirdo]

I still play spades, used to play on MSN, but it always messed up so you couldn't play it. Now I've found a new place, the only problem is you can't put people on ignore so you never play with them again.

Mplayer was the best set up for Spades that I have ever played. You could play games that where people had to play a card in 5 seconds or a card was played for them. There were tournaments, the interface was awesome. Not sure I could get into it again, I have not found a format I like as much (and really, I'm not a great player anyway... )

The one I'm playing you can choose 5 minute boards, 7 minutes or 10 minutes. If you run out of time, you lose.

Well it's been a long time, and, I don't have time to get involved in Spades again! Most of my free time is spent here on USMB (free computer time that is) -

Oh, well.... I spend a bit of time here, I play maybe one game a day of spades. I have some time to spare, especially as it's getting warmer and I'm getting lazier.

It's not like I have this rocking social calendar! I love games - I could play them all day on line if I was not careful! Drives my husband crazy that I like the internet so much - and I do - so I have to make myself not spend time on it.

But spades isn't really playing games online, it's just spades, haha.

I'm downloading NBA2K16, the thing is 44GB! 44 Gigabytes. I remember playing Links386 on pc and you had two or three floppy discs. The hard drive on my first pc was 2GB.

44GB! For one game. When will a game break the 100GB barrier or has one already done this.

The largest game I ever installed was TESO with 60 GB. But in fact it was TESO x2, one for the European sever and one for the American Server. Your characters are bound the respective server. I played on the US server only to avoid pigs obfuscating my playing fun.

Wow, I should have posted this earlier.

Dealing with a sinus infection, and too much head ache to post much.

That being said, I have gotten a year or two worth of gaming purchases done this week for the family. At least till Yuletide, if not later. This will take some time.

I just wanted to alert anyone still following this thread, now is the time to get your new games if you haven't already.

Is that German?

 

[Bleipriester]

Yes,
Heck, many items fell through the surfaces when I loaded the game the next time. The alarmer even fell into the ground floor.

 

[Bleipriester]

Weired stuff happened to some items. Some even traveled upstairs. I searched long for the Mr. Gutsy model. However, the alarmer, the folded US flag and some other items vanished completely. I am now making a new house, this time from scratch, no prefab house.

 

[FA_Q2]

Games like this are always plagued with problems like that. To many items intersecting.

 

[Bleipriester]

That´s really annoying. You can even build our own homes and put a lot of furniture in it but when you try to put some life into it, the game screws up. You have to drop an item from your inventory and then place it in the workshop mode. Quite moronic. But great game though.

SimCity is pretty interesting, for a while.

Dirt Rally vs Project Cars

Which do you like better? I know, the games are hardly comparable because of their entirely different settings but in terms of overall quality and fun, a comparison is OK. Personally, I don´t like the tracks in Project Cars so much. They are focusing on Formula 1, though some nice tracks along the US coast, in France and even the famous Nordschleife are present. There are interesting cars, too. There is not so much content compared with Gran Turismo but the quality is far better.
Dirt Rally clearly features more and more interesting tracks. Highly detailed off-road courses make fast driving a real challenge compared to the rally games of the recent years. ​

Some Acts Of Aggression. Watch me zocking a skirmish...

So you resurrected it ... .

I am old school.

I like chess, backgammon, poker, and solitaire.

No action.

Lots of thinking.

Good for your brain.

Heagemonia - Legions of Iron

For if you liked this 2002 space RTS: It is available for mobiles!
As usual, the controls are tricky (imagine to scroll within 3 dimensional maps) but the solution is acceptable and you can always pause to issue your commands and fit the view.

Haegemonia - Legions of Iron - Android Apps on Google Play

StarColony. It is a free, browser based game.

What do you think about Minecraft?
