Well I'm just learning too, I was fortunate to have a few friends of mine playing it too, so I was able to join a fleet and a cooperation, but it's a hard one to learn.

It's like a totally selfcontaining world, with economy, factions who then form coalitions, and spies infiltrating these fleets.

Just make sure you learn your skills fast, and form a fleet or join one, or you will not survive for long.

Good luck playing;D

Been gone for a few months because my wireless crashed and I decided to just stop paying for it so now I don't have it anymore ;)

Bought Uncharted 2 and I must say its an awesome game. I have 84% on the trophies which is no easy task. All I need to do is beat it on crushing difficulty and kill people with one punch after softening them up with gunfire.

If anyone knows how to do that can they let me know every time I get someone one shot away from death I go over to punch them and a punch combo starts so it takes 3 punches instead of one. :(

Unless Boxcutter Baby ~ Love Outside Andromeda is a game I've never heard before =P

I've been playing Rainbow Six Vegas 2 again. Been playing it a lot. I don't know why, even with all its bugs and glitches, I just can't stop playing.

After scouring the depths of the Internet one night, a few weeks ago, I came across an article from EA Games announcing Command & Conquer (Gold & Red Alert) are available as freeware now, the complete full game.

So I downloaded that and have been playing those lately.

As well as Uncharted on the PS3 and Little Big Planet.

I bought a new 360 along with a 60GB HDD, so I have been playing the following:

Operation Flashpoint: Dragon Rising
Left 4 Dead 2
The Darkness
Forza Motorsport 3
Bioshock
Fear 2 (a very disappointing game)
Grid
Halo 3 ODST (mainly forging, but a little campaign and some firefight, as well as multiplayer)

Splinter Cell
Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
Black

I really missed all my games, so I have been playing most of them a lot of the time now.

Nevermind the one punch is so much easier on uncharted 2 then it is on the first one.

Hopefully I will be able to come back to the forums more frequently with an active internet connection by next month instead of posting at other peoples houses.

Buy Torchlight from Steam. People from DII worked on it. Good stuff, just no multiplayer support yet.

I just checked this out yesterday.. It doesn't run the greatest on my Toshiba laptop, but in "netbook" mode, it runs smoothly whilst looking worse than Diablo1 lol..

I just tried the demo, but I think I actually might buy it since it's only $20.

ha I have done the same thing.

Anyway, I have been playing Halo 3 ODST campaign lately. It's a bit different, very different from the regular Halo games. I do like it, has a good story, and I recommend it for anyone who likes the Halo series.

Why do I own a custom built PC?

Because I was playing Mass Effect 2 last night at 2560x1600 resolution with all settings on high, including the 8 or 16x AA and I got no stutter or slow down at all.

ME2 pwnz.

This is boring I guess, but I've been playing Chessmaster on my Nintendo DS. The game never gets old. Doen'st require fancy graphics. Always captivating.

Oh man, that name brings back lots of memories. I remember playing Zelda:Ocarina of Time on the N64 playing all day and night with friends, I miss that game so much! I would buy a N64 again just to play that game.

Just picked up Lost Odyssey to get me in the mood for the Final Fantasy XIV release. I played about 5 hours in last night and let me tell you it's an awesome game.

Which sucks because it's still not out for PS3, iirc. I want it. Maybe for the PC.
