A misplaced post in breaking news concerned the plot for an upcoming computer game. That got me thinking, are there any FReepers out there that play computer games online or via email, and if so, is it a large enough group to warrant a ping list for those interested in gaming against other FReepers?
I play a fair amount of military simulations, and they run the gamut from turn based strategy (Gary Grigsby's World at War) to first person shooters (Call of Duty).
Since conservatives are by definition more fair minded, mature and sportsmanlike than the general public, it would be great to have a pool of conservative opponents to compete with.
Any other geeks in the house?
Conservative and politically correct at the same time? Isn't that an oxymoron?
You have me there, it should have read "Computer Gaming", or, as we children who want to be taken seriously call it, "Computer Conflict Simulation".
Doom 3, Battlefield 1942, Planetside, World of Warcraft, UT2004, Shattered Galaxy, Half Life 2/Counterstrike Source
Drooling over Quake 4, Battlefield 2
If you start a ping list, add me please.
I've mostly been playing CoD and waiting on CoD2. Have most of the popular 1st person shooters.
I'm not much into online play. I tend to jump around genre's. I would have to say my favorite all time PC game is Grand Prix Legends. It's a race sim based on the 1967 Formula One season. Grisby's World at War, CivII & Rise of Nations is also diverting my attention.
:-)
The Half Life/TFC gaming community I use to be active in is for the most part moderate/conservative.There are a few liberals, but not many. Politics and Religion are usually avoided though to keep the peace.
Just to add though that when I was still playing online there were many liberal idiots on the servers from time to time. It wasn't rare to have somebody use the name like Saddam or Bin Laden and not in a sarcastic meaning either.
(raises hand...); CallofDuty+UO, MOHAA+B, MTW, EUII, and others... what sim do you have in mind?
How did you like the Half Life game?
I play Guild Wars also. Mostly with henchmen since most of the people online are jerks, immature or plain ignorant when it comes to teamwork. I am always looking for a consistent, good group of people to game with. BTW lv 14 Ran/Mes at this moment.
That is the thing about a FReeper gaming group that would be most appealing, in that I really think the average FReeper is more of a Sportsman than the average online gamer.
Oh good, and you are in Ohio too. I am a level 12 elem/ranger. I play with another person in Ohio also, and the henchmen. My player name is "Belle Starr". Add me to your friends list and we will play sometime. :) I normally start around 7:30/8:00 depending on the weather.
DO you play any Xbox Live games? IF you do I would be more than happy to game with you! More into the tactical FPS games myself, though I do play alot of MMORPG's also.
Sounds good. My player name is "Tranh Vuki". Now that summer is here I usually get on later during the weekdays also for a few hours of gaming and on the weekends it also depends on the weather. Hope to see you online sometime!
add me to the list. If anything comes of it, it could be fun
