Violent video games worked for me!

A few years ago the Sony FD Series monitors were pretty much the best you could buy. I have a GDM-F500R that is a 21" flatscreen with 0.22mm dot pitch and very good convergence and focus out to the corners. It has served me well.

But... That was a few years ago...

If you want a game with more teamwork (though less realism) Natural Selection (a free mod for Half-Life) is awesome.

GTA:SA? Considering I lived my whole life in LA during the 90's, it really is fun to think they made a game patterned after 90's Cali. The drugs, the drive-bys, the gang wars. If you check some of the euro forums on GTA, they love the game because europe is actually to boring for GTA. They admittedly love America and it's image (projected by games and hollywood) and cant imagine GTA coming to Europe: no guns, no freedom.

There is only 3 weeks left until the game is out. I cant wait!!!!

"Doom III rocked"

Music to my ears....thanks. I still pay Doom2 with the Doom95 launcher.

Blue owns all the power nodes with a Levi camped at the last node, ugh, hate when that happens (If I'm on the other team)

[Nowhere Man]

Is your username based on the short-lived TV Show of the same name?

It is my "handle" on the CB radio, I remember first using it in the 1970's. Back then, I wasn't sure what I wanted to be in life, heck, I still wonder to this day, long story there. B-) So since I was heavily into the Beatles at the time and the song "Nowhere Man" came out in 1966, the year I was born, I settled on that as a CB handle. Several months ago, I found out that "Nowhere Man" was released on July 8th, 1966, my birthday, I thought, "man, that's weird." B-) I also liked the show "Nowhere Man," too bad it didn't last too long.

Redneck Rampage

I used to LOVE playing Redneck Rampage. Not only was the dialogue hilarious, but the characters were a hoot.

Does anyone know if they ever came out with a Windows version? The original was DOS-based and doesn't work very well on the newer machines :(

It's interesting but I wonder if violent video games don't make a population MORE peaceful. After all the thrill of going to look for a fight and violence inherent in men can be released emotionally by just going on a killing spree in cyberspace with online combat games.

Maybe it's psycho-B$, but I think that violent video games are a good thing.

This actually happened to me once:

Aryss clipped Player's head off in a Manta.
Aryss: Right between the eyes!

My nephew was playing a game called Driv3r yesterday. It was kind of funny to watch.

I just turned 35, and I'm a video game junky for sure! The more violent the better, as far as Im concerned. Somehow, through all that, I never lost touch with reality and went on a killing spree. I even keep a close eye on my guns, lest they jump up and start hosing down a playground.

Obligatory DOOM3 pic:

Or if they actually released their games instead of making up excuses like "a hacker stole the code"

That's why dawn is my favorite map. It remains a back-and-forth fight for longer since the game isn't effectively over as soon as one team gets a solid hold on the last node.

GTA:SA?
Metal Gear Solid 3?


*YAWN*


You're not a man until you've soloed Halo on Legendary :)
