Yes, I will get a couple of those windows decals. Are you also getting some mac decals?
Thank you!Happy anniversary!
I used to love games like that... I rarely ever play video games anymore though. I was addicted to games when I was in college. My favorite games back then were Deus EX and the original Counter Strike. It was awesome in the dorm when I was a freshman. Half our floor would be playing Counter Strike with doors open shouting at each other down the hallway. We'd never cheat and spy for each other.
I haven't played any Valve games since Halflife2 and Counter Strike Condition Zero, but I'm half tempted to give Portal2 a try sometime... It looks like fun, but I just don't have time anymore to play games. I've barely gotten a good start on Epic Mickey and I've had it since Christmas.
I am an old school computer gamer. After my C64 days I moved up to a Commodore Amiga 2000. Once I left my parents' house and joined the Air Force, I bought my first PC - a 386SX Packard Bell. This helped feed my flight simulator cravings. I upgraded to a 486-DX solely for the purpose of being able to play Falcon 4.0.
Soon after that, FPS games started becoming more prevalent. Some games that I remember spending countless hours playing (in no particular order): Doom, Quake, Rainbow 6, Tribes, Tribes 2, Quake 2, Quake 3, Unreal Tournament, Unreal Tournament 2, CounterStrike, Half-Life, half-Life 2, Jedi Knight, etc.
When the co-op team-based multiplayer war games came out I was in online gamer heaven: Battlefield 1942, Battlefield Vietnam, Battlefield 2, Combat Arms, the Call of Duty series (loved CoD4 Modern Warfare!). Then I started playing more console games (PS3) because I couldn't keep up with the hardware necessary to play the newest games with the highest settings (I got married and had kids, so my priorities changed for the better.)
But I am seriously thinking about upgrading my PC so I can play the new Battlefield 3 - that one looks awesome. Even though I picked up a FragFX Shark for my PS3, I still prefer the good old keyboard and mouse for FPS games - and that means PC gaming. But I give big kudos to RockStar Games for Red Dead Redemption - that is a game I am just now starting to play on the PS3 and it is stellar!
I doubt it would work for you timewise. Depending on how lights, trains and traffic are, it can be a pain to get from the Interstate to campus and back. You'd be looking at probably more extra windshield time than that place is really worth.
Well, when I was playing sports on a competitve level, to me it was all about the "W." In HS I played 1B on a baseball team with a guy a year older than me and another a year younger than me who both played 1B at the college level. We had a very strong program and I while I didn't get to start many games at 1B, I was always happy to DH or fill in somewhere in the OF or do whatever was needed on a given night to help the team win. We had a very good team and won a lot of games and that's what was important.
Now, as I'm approaching 30, the leagues I participate in aren't as competitive, and while I want to win and give 100% effort, I want to be in the game. If I'm participating in a softball or basketball league and I'm not on the field pretty much the whole game, my mindset now is that I have more important things to be doing.
Looking forward to Lego: POTC.
Hope it is as fun as Lego Harry Potter...spent 2 months getting to 100% on that one.
Just now starting on Lego Star Wars III...the Clone Wars.
