First-Person Shouter

Seeing as I’m about as poor as everyone else, I’m sticking with games I already have. Rock Band 2 and FFVII for me this weekend. Also a cool mod for Half-Life 1 called The Trap.

Maybe some Bioshock on the PS3, if I can find the time :)

I couldn’t be arsed to wait for the download, so just went right ahead and bought Burnout Paradise. I’m literally going to install it now, and I’m quite looking forward to it to be honest…

Really nice idea I must say, though you don’t seem to get all the comments you need and more than that even without encouragement :).
Anyway, all those recent posts about fallout 3 has made me want to pick it up again. I’ve gotten to L19 with two characters (one energy-weapon goodie and a melee/fatman bad guy) but have never been bothered to finnish the main questline as I really dislike what generally happens when you complete quests and therefore aren’t drawn into taking them. I’m also going to continue on my small personal mod pack for the awesome indie game Cortex Command (linked in my name). If anyone doesn’t know what to play for the weekend, please give that one a shot.

These comments are certainly easier to read.

I have Fallout 3 as well, trying to be the nicest bastard out there. Saved Megaton, opened Vault 101 for the better, spread word about the Good Fight, and so on. Going to keep playing through that.

MGO and L4D is on my horizon…

I’m planning to not really play any games at all, and focus on a different hobby for a bit. But I’m likely to say “ah, forget it” and play some L4D VS, maybe some TF2. If I’m feeling ambitious, I may fire up Fallout 3 again. I love the game, but kind of got out of the groove when I had some crash issues. I think I made it to level 12 or so, and I never did beat the final quest. Sad, given that Fallout 2 is my favorite ever… Your posts here inspired me to start playing again, though.

Love the idea of a annual friday comment-athon chris.

As for me, i don’t have a Pc capable of playing any decent games, so i’ll be trying out the Halo Wars demo as well as putting in some Left 4 Dead TF2 and possibly starting over again on Fallout 3.

It looks like I’m in for some more Fable 2 this weekend, as I can’t find a reasonably priced copy of Fallout 3 anywhere ($70? Still?) and I can’t find Left 4 Dead at all in this city. :(

As for me, I’m getting a new PC! Whoooo! it’ll be powerful enough to handle any new game on max settings.
Need to get some games, though. Any recommendations would me much appreciated.

Well in the UK it’s been snowing, there’s at least a couple of inches out there so naturally the country has ground to a halt. An ideal time to stay in and get to grips with a low tech game requiring the patience of Job. Called ZangbandTK, it’s apparently a Rogue/Nethack style of thing with a mild graphical do over to make it less ASCII. Know nothing much about it other than what I read on Rock/Paper/Shotgun a while back but apparently it’s good at building up your character and confidence in your prowess to the point where you think nothing can stop you then finds a way of handing you your head. Never really got into these type of games when they were state of the art but it’s never too late to try something new.

I’m planning to put a bit more time into my evil unarmed only character on Fallout 3- I made him as ugly as possible to justify my wandering the wastes and punching the heads off anything good. I imagine a bit of TF2 will also feature.

I’m gonna be playing Fallout 3 (which you convinced me to buy with your posts about it) - I only bought it last Friday so I’m still on my first play-through. Also, I’m going to be playing outside [gasp]: I’m from England, and we’re snowed in here, so there’s lots of fun to be had outside (it’ll be like Operation Anchorage, I guess).
@ Alux - if your computer can handle it, I’d recommend getting Crysis, not because it’s a brilliant game, but because it’s worth it just to see how gorgeous it looks on medium/high settings.

Painkiller. Lots of it. Gotta finish at least the main game with expansion until Necro Vision comes out.

Some deals this weekend I may take advantage of if I can get paid.

Impulse (impulsedriven.com)
Titan Quest - $4
Dawn of War: Dark Crusade - $4
Defender of the Crown - $4

GOG.com
“Kingpin: Life of Crime and Redneck Rampage Collection that includes Redneck Rampage, Redneck Rampage Rides Again: Arkansas and Redneck Rampage: Suckin’ Grits on Route 66 in a bundle for only $9.98.”

I love weekend deals…

oh… other than maybe grabbing some of those games I have a feeling I may be away from my computer all weekend.

I think I need some older games for my POS laptop (what runs on a 1.2GHz Celeron w/ a 16mb ATI card anyway?).

I’ll most likely be playing TF2 after new realizing just how nice it looks and runs on my laptop last night, and I plan on buying Mount & Blade. Oh, and I agree with JeCa that everyone should try CC. I may play a bit this weekend myself.

I’m gonna try to finish my video Let’s Play of Commander Keen I (the second island is left), then do some more World of Warcraft playing (I’m so goddamn slow in that game compared to my peers). If Commander Keen I gets finished, I might do a video walkthrough of Day of the Tentacle.

I’m also gonna try to squeeze in some progress on both my hobby Operating System aswell as my Tic-Tac-Toe videogame project with undefeatable AI and enough music format support to rival WMP.

So yeah, good times.

Wait- who says good guys can’t be cannibals? I mean, you’re gonna be killing people anyway. Is it a conflict of interest thing?

I’ve been looking online but can’t find any help so I thought I’d try this. On Fallout 3 I have both Jericho and Dogmeat as companions and have been working through the main quest. I got to the point where you get captured shortly after getting the G.E.C.K. Having escaped, I returned to the vault to see if my companions were waiting but they’re not there. Is there a way of getting them back or will I have to restore to a previous save? I can’t use codes because it is the PS3 version :(

I’ll probably use most of my time playing Saint’s Row 2. If for some reason I need some “change”, I may complement it with Rainbox Six Vegas 2, Sacred Gold, or Stronghold Crusader.

And congrats on the new blog!

This weekend I will mostly be playing….

The Dawn of War 2 Beta. Having immense fun with it, I’m in love with this new style of gameplay. That and the fact that the Space Marine Botlers actually fire like they should, as opposed to someone letting rip with an AK-47 ;)

On top of that I think another play through of the Killzone 2 demo is in order, and hell probably a bit more F.E.A.R 1. Need to get it finished before number 2 comes out.

Mr. Brit: According to the Fallout 3 wiki, if you lose Dogmeat he will show up a couple days later outside Vault 101. Not sure about Jericho, but he may have gone back to the saloon in Megaton (if it still exists).

Well, I will probably be playing L4D and HL2 Episode 2 the most. I might reinstall Fallout 3 to see how it runs on Windows 7 beta though. (been on my to do list for a little while, lol) Other than that I might switch it up a little with portal and HL1… Is it 3:00 yet? ;)

I have finally bought a new computer, and I have been buying new games and making my collection for this very weekend. I will be playing Far Cry 2, Crysis, Assasins Creed.

I’ve been planning to waste my life in front of the Xbox hopefully all weekend. My plans include playing L4D (trying to play it the every-one-for-themselves with my buddies, sounds like fun), playing Fallout 3 and trying to get my character to the next level by doing a bunch of quests, and that’s pretty much it.

@The Defenestrater- You lose Karma when you cannibalize.

Just got a new PC so I’ll be playing TF2 if Steam ever decies to finish downloading updates.

Work and homework for me this weekend :’(

But I’ll probably be jotting a few hours in TF2 nonetheless.

tamick88: I’m running Fallout 3 on Windows 7, and it’s working pretty well. There are crashes, though, but that seems to be a universal issue.

Well, tonight I’ve got a little Dead Space lined up, which i plan on playing in pitch blackness with a strong gin drink at my elbow. Once I’ve had my fill of that, It’s back to Fallout 3 to try out the Classic Weapons mod, because I often miss the grand selection that the old fallout games had. IT really improves the current one, in my opinion. Then its T42 and L4D until i wander off in a daze.

None. God damn it.

I just bought Fallout 3 today, so I’m going to spend the better half of the weekend playing that.
other than that, probably playing Left 4 Dead some more, or trying to finally beat Kane & Lynch Dead Men.
(all titles listed on PC)

This weekend I don’t think i’ll get around to much gaming D: The Six Nations starts tomorrow and i’m at work 9-2, Ruggers starts at 3 soooo i’ll probably be far to hammered to play anything. But if I do play it’ll be a combination of CSS, Fallout 3, Football Manager 2009 (Finished 5th with Coventry City in 2nd season :-D) or Medieval 2 Total War. M2TW is the only game in recent years that has kept me coming back, and rarely go a few days without popping in to murder some peasents and arabian chappies.

I wouldn’t bother with the Burnout trial. It took me 45 minutes to download it, 10 more to install it, and only 30 to get kicked out in the middle of a jump. .

Valkyria Chronicles. It’s a console game, yes, but it’s a PERFECT console game. On the PC side of things, I just figured out how to run Steam on my school’s computers, so naturally some heavy-duty procrastination is in order. Just me, a mouse, and…Peggle University.

Augh, screwed up the HTML in that one. Just… Click the period that should have said “I freaking HATE time-limited demos.”

Update:
http://teamfortress.com/

@Christopher, thanks, I’ll look for Dogmeat there then. Megaton’s gone unfortunately but hopefully Jericho’ll be nearby.

Playing TF2 and CS:S with some friends tonight. Yus.

Probably go to my brother’s a play some Wii bowling/golf/baseball/pool/tanks/fishing/whatever. I’ll do a couple rounds of TF2, a couple hours in Mount & Blade (it was on sale a couple weeks ago), and I’ve had a hankerin’ lately to go back and fire up my racing sim. I obviously have some big aspirations, but i’ll probably spend most of Saturday watching movies or downloading pron.

Oops. I need spellchecker.

I’m going to get myself back into Team Fortress 2, got bored in it a few weeks ago. Need to get warmed up again before the Scout update.

Also, I just got my Far Cry 2 Collector’s Edition from the mail. I’m loving it so far, and will definately play it some more this weekend.

Maybe I’ll try Operation: Anchorage.

This sounds fun.

All right, so I’m probably going to drink a lot.
I can’t play anything at the moment, I need to buy a new graphics card, so fallout and l4d are out of the question. TF2 is also pretty dead.

I’ve rediscovered gmod, so loads of that on my horizon. Also Audiosurf and Mount and Blade. Plus drinking. The End.

I got mirror’s edge a while back and am yet to finish it, what with GTA IV and Far Cry 2, as well as Gears of War, and as well as re-playing Alone in the Dark (2008) im a tad busy.

burnnout for me.

I’ve been playing a bit of the Dawn of War II beta, which is pretty darn good. Also the F.E.A.R 2 demo, which is also pretty good.

I’ve been playing through Fallout 3 a second time, and in my first playthrough, I was involved with much do-goodery, being as helpful as possible, hell, I never even went to paradise falls the first time. But this time, if I could, I would’ve achieved the title of “Wasteland Asshole”. I looted, then blew up megaton, I massacred big town, I enslaved many people, fried Vault 101’s water chip, killed the overseer, killed Amata, obliterated Three Dog, made Tenpenny suck a bullet, slit Dukov and his whore’s throats, downloaded the killable children mod, did my business in Little Lamplight, then proceeded to murder all the little brats. And you know what? I ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE OF IT.

I imagine I’ll be stressfully studying for midterms, amongst rounds of TF2. I’m loving the new crit system, takes a lot more skill, and crit rockets aren’t making me as angry.

I WOULD be playing L4D or Team Fortress 2, but unfortunatly my computer has hit its end. I don’t have my copy of Fallout 3 because a friend is borrowing it (for 2 weeks >:[ ) So I just plan on playing whatever I got on the xbox :[

*unfortunately
Damn I need to check the red underlines.

I’m one of those WoW geeks, so I’ll probably spend my time in Azeroth. Hopefully I can finish the last Lunar Festival achievent before time runs out. (Lunar Festival is the WoW “version” of Chinese new years celebration thingie event, and it’ll end next week.)

TF2, Magic: The Gathering (Trading-card game) and maybe some Fallout 3 after I download those mods you’ve mentioned earlier! :)

I’m probably gonna mix it up with several different games of varying types.

I’ll probably spend this weekend playing around with this blasted GFWL thing, I want to try DoW: II but Live wont sign in in it, yet it works fine in GTA IV.

I think I will play some Fallout 3, maybe install O:P. I might start an evil character, so we will see how that works out. I’m also gunna play some L4D with my friends, as I have already done today, and maybe I will play some Track Mania. I just made a giant kick ass track that takes like half an hour to do, and its like a maze. I guess thats all I’m doing this weekend :P

I’m going to play tf2, like I do every single weekend. And football (soccer). Sport. For once. Thanks for asking! Hope you have a good one too Chris!

My weekend will involve some Guitar Hero: World Tour, maybe some Civ 4, and most likely a lot of preparations for the upcoming test in Chemics next monday.

O WAI, that last one isn’t a game. Well, getting the answers right is always some kind of gamble…

I just bought Burnout: Paradise on a whim. Well, considering how recent Need for Speed titles didn’t live up to my expectations I was in the market for a decent arcade style raciing game on the PC. And after hearing such great praise for Burnout on the consoles, I figured might as well give it a go. Haven’t actually played it yet, but will post my impressions later.

And the questions arise “When will he put up a twitter picture?”

You can now tell Alex from Alexander by our Websites.

some Far Cry 2 again, TF2, Fable 2 and Im gonna go back to GTA IV.. it is soo great if i play it now.. :D

I’ll probably be playing the RE5 and Killzone 2 demo’s, along with some Lumines Supernova and Tekken 5.

Eh, I’m just going to miss my friends who left town for the weekend. Might play some TF2 to kill time I’d usually spend with them - I don’t really play much else than TF2 lately.

I am spending my time in Fallout 3, hunting the last three behemoths and getting the firelance. I also intend to find The Republic Of Dave and kill this Dave I hear about, and to finish up I will go find dogmeat.

TF2, L4D, and Quake Live. Maybe a little bit of Fallout 3 or Oblivion.

It will be Guild Wars for me with maybe a little Natural selection thrown in there too.

If you guys haven’t heard of it check out Natural selection. it’s a HL1 Mod and it rocks. The NS team is making great progress toward NS2 as well. check it out: http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns/

Well I just spent a couple of hours in Burnout and its the best time I have had playing a racing a game ever. It’s so very different for the occasional need for speeds that I was used to. I love it.
I do have to say though, you’re far better off using a 360 controller for windows (or any other gamepad) rather than the keyboard controls. Not that there is anything particularly wrong with the keyboard controls, it just feels much more fluid with a gamepad.

I’ll be going through Fallout 3 as an evil character this time. Although even on my last, “good” playthrough I had the cannabilism perk. Being right and just is all very well, but survival is survival damn it and if that means chomping down on some choice raider limbs then I’m game.

Gave the FEAR 2 demo a spin the other night. Fun stuff! A very nice next-gen graphics treatment to an otherwise solid formula of incredible gunplay and creepy Alma sections.

Also tried GRID. A mildly entertaining racer with some neat real-life touches like brake lock-up.

Otherwise, I’m still playing Project Gotham Street Racing since October. I can still suck another 4 months out of it easily given my work schedule.

Afterwards, I’ll probably get back into Ninja Gaiden II.

I’m gonna be giving Lord of the Rings Online a try. I decided to download the client BEFORE starting the trial ’cause damn, 10 gigs to download…

Oh, I forgot to specify PGR4. Not the first one, or anything. That one sucked. PGR2 was the best of the bunch.

Deus Ex and Mirror’s Edge for me.

I’m going to play Left4Dead this weekend. I’m also working on Stalker Clear sky. I really enjoy this idea, by the way. It’s interesting to see what fellow readers enjoy playing.

Gal Civ 2 for me. After i… erm “replaced” some core game files i finally got round to re-installing it :)

It’ll be Chrono Trigger DS, Left 4 Dead, Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia, and maybe even a bit of Fallout 3 if I can squeeze it in.

IL2 1946 L4D TF2 maybe some Fallout i have started new character as well and i will try high charisma approach to talk my way out of trouble

I was hoping the new tf2 scout pack would be out this weekend, or the Empire Total War demo, but since both aren’t out yet, I’m lost.

Well, I literally just bought Fallout 3 (it’s all your fault damnit!), so that, plus maybe a bit of Guitar Hero against/with my flatmate, I ought to put some more time into GTA4 and I’m still stuck halfway through Farcry 2, but mainly out of boredom.
Oh, and some L4D if I get the zombie killing urge.

Hurry up and bloody download FO3! (even at 1MB/s it still takes a while)

I hope to get back into Fallout 3 during the weekend, might start a new character. Also, I plan on playing X-Men Mojo World for the Game Gear.

A bit of TF2, a bit of L4D and some Fallout 3 (loving this game)

Mm… I think I’m gonna be playing some good ol’ TF2, then a bit of screwing around in Garry’s Mod.
My roommate will be playing L4D as usual with my system.

I finally got hold of Fallout 3 (at a ridiculous £35 for a pre-owned copy! Damn you BlockBuster!), so I expect I’ll get around to playing with that. Started the vault section yesterday, ut haven’t really decided on a style yet, so I’ve gone with a fairly all-round character thus far.

Got myself a copy of Eternal Sonata for £5, so I might give that a try as well.

I plan on doing a bit of Motorstorm, some Gmod ( Guys, go gm_atomic and go to FalloutRP.IT kicks so much ass.) Some CSS if i can, and maayyybeee some SOCOM: CONFRONTAION.

And Some L4D.

I’ll be messing around with the map editor on Far Cry 2, fathoming it out and generally setting fire to my maps with my infinite Molotovs. Also, thinking of starting a new character in Fallout 3, who exists solely to kill everyone and everything it’s possible to kill. It’s gonna be tough, not having any mates or quest-givers.

Does FO3 still have that unconscious rubbish when you try and kill an essential NPC? I haven’t done a whole load of slaughtering yet.

Oh, and maybe I’ll play some HREF=”http://www.miraigamer.net/cavestory/info_1.php”>Cave Story

Well damn. HATE HTML.

Get some BBcode up in this shit, Chris!

I’ve been playing the Halo Wars demo, pretty fun.

Akirasfriend, yes. Just like in Oblivion.

Also, I just finished Operation: Anchorage… It reminded me of some of the old-school action games. It was a good two-three hours of fun.

I’m gonna play some Fallout 3, watch some films and get drunk.

Y’know what? I can’t play any games this weekend. I have to sit in a theatre from 9 till 6 to work as a stage manager. Gaming is completely out. And my new copy of fallout was just delivered. (the old one was shredded by the xbox a few weeks ago)

Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaap

Tried playing Left 4 Dead again, having neglected it for quite some time. Started an Advanced campaign and was sick of the other players by the end. You would think that players on Advanced would know by now that running into the distance by yourself gets you killed. But no matter what I said, they persisted, dies, and left me and one sensible player to be a light snack.
Given up for now, it took too much of my vim away. Has anyone else had this problem, and, if so, how do you stop it?

very nice, also is it worth buying DLC content for Fallout 3 ? I’ve been wondering it and i enjoyed Fallout 3 very very much !

Haha, I started my EVIILL! character. I killed some people, nuked megaton, lots of evil shit. GOOD TIMES!

needs nondrick!

No matter how hard I try I can’t be a bad Character in Fallout 3, I just Can’t.

I will play some more L4D with my friend who has a 360. It’s interesting to play it both on the PC and the xbox. PC has better aiming and controls, playing on the xbox makes it feel more like a movie, the theme of the game.
Also, my friend is bringing over Fallout 3 sometime soon, and I’m going to try to get it up and running on my comp.

I think I need to put some more money into my computer tho.

Jebus Chris, I have 37 hours logged in FO3.

I got fed up with Tenpenny Tower the other day, and ended up killing everyone in it. Going in I was the Vault Legend. Slaughters later (including one sadistically amusing one where I crowded everyone into a single room and then threw a Nuka Grenade :D) I ended up the Harbringer of War. Whoops.

My karma’s in the shitter and I can’t see an end any time soon. Man, and I was so happy to be a good person. Of course, now I’m in the mindset and end up stealng and killing and raping and pillaging and burning things all the time…

I even killed Billy Creel, who I felt was generally the coolest guy in the game for some reason. :( Eh, I finally found a scoped magnum on him, so it’s not a total loss. And I took his bandana. So he LIVES ON. l:’(

I’m going to download a ridiculous amount of Oblivion mods. I started with the ones you used for Nondrick’s adventures, and I’m going from there.

so far my weekend is comprised of Final Fantasy tactics for the DS and chillin with some friends in a couple rounds of tf2 and counterstrike. i’m also feeling up for a little diablo 2.

im getting an Alienware Area 51 m15x gaming laptop tomorrow. can someone please tell me if this is a really good computer or not?

Less PC gaming lately as my wife got me an Xbox 360 for Christmas. I’ll keep working through building up some gear & stuff in Far Cry 2, and I also hope to get started on Project Gotham 4. Sequels day.

Playing some Unreal Tournament ‘99 and trying to find some more goddamn assault maps.

James still has 1fort in it’s “Favourites” linkin’.

That Francis, I’ve already told him there is a new site.

I’m planning on playing some FO3, I got some of the mods you reccomended as well as an awesome bullet time mod.

I guess this counts as the weekend being over. Anyway, I purchased, played, and finished Operation Anchorage. Shit was surprisingly cash. The shock sword is the best thing ever, no ifs, ands, or buts.

…That’s about it.

So, um. Chris? I was perusing Bash.org, and I found a quote… http://bash.org/?7703

Well, that looks familiar.

Click my name if you forget why.

So, um…

Did you… did you know? o_O

I spelled my own name wrong? Woo, I suck. :D

Ooh, this is an interesting new colour scheme. I gotta say, I’m liking it. It’s not blinding like the pure-white deal you had going on before.

Huh. New scheme is nice.

I do like to brown-ish new scheme BUT maybe a tid’bit more lighter color behind the articles?

New scheme is infinitely better than the scary-white blank one. Me Likey.

This new scheme, oddly, feels like an old blanket. That one that’s always comfy and cozy. I like this scheme. I’m gonna go dig out my old blanket.

New color scheme is surprisingly awesome. Other than the favicon, the site is now just about perfect.

New color scheme reminds me of those army jackets. Also reminds me of Fallout 3.

I like the new color scheme.

Well… the scheme looks like various shades of puke to me. Oddly it manages to be not so bad, at the same time. Reminds me of the Steam website.

Maybe use some hue other than yellow/green as a base though.

Well, it all depends on the banner at the top. The color schemes goes well with fallout stuff, but not with the heavily red ones.

I guess it’s really just all about the top banner that changes every time. With the darker coloured banners like Mouse said, it’s fine. With lighter banners it doesn’t fit too well.

Well, I like this theme, better than plain old white. The banner needs work though.

The new theme kind of reminds me of Americas Army. Can’t wait for AA3!

I agree with the banner deciding the overall look of the website.

like the new color scheme ^__^

Nice new colors for the site! It reminds me of Fallout 3, which kinda fits, considering every post so far has been about Fallout 3.

Phantasy Star Online Blue Burst, on a fanserver. Great game for laptops, as it isn’t mouse-cntrolled. Plus it has ROBOTS

1fort was a nice clean white… Why has this become distopia grey?

Out Reach, surely you know by now that “next -gen” IS grey, green, black and all the other colours of the dirt spectrum?

That said, I stand by my previous comment.

I much prefered the colour scheme previously before, I don’t like the green one particularly…

you still need a good banner though :P

Well, I know what I did over *my* weekend! I got my account hijacked.

…gorramit. Now I’ve gotta wait on steam support to finally wrest control of the account back to me.

You have to understand Chris, getting the right look for this site is harder than 1fort. 1fort had a particular theme, which he could precisely work on. Here, this is a much bigger choice to make.
