You should play deus ex too, great great game! I love the music of that game
my problem is that i keep playing games in a cycle
like ill play them for 3-6 months straight then stop for like the same amount of timeâŚ
my skills have decreased in a few games because of this
I hear ya pr. Back when I was in HS, I used to play games all the time. I donât have time to do that anymore. Good thing for summer breaks. After that I need to find myself a job similar to what most of you have here where I can surf the forums from work also
I work full time (design/IT), go to ASU as a full time student (15 cr/sem), cruise forums, design in my spare time, and STILL have time to get a good hour or so a day into gaming.
kirupa,
funny thing is, is that Iâm in HS, and all I do is play video games
Deus ex is awesome⌠I love it how a mission failure doesnât end the game⌠life goes on but deus ex 2 had an fps of 4 on this pc (gettinâ a new one in a few days⌠hopefully) and didnât look that good⌠gonna try again whe ni get my pcâŚ
it takes a good job position to be able to surf the forums and not worry tho k-man lol -
man i love dues ex !!! its the best the story line, the choices thhat you make in the game !!! man it got everything !!
[:ninja:EZEkiel:ninja:]
I play too much battlefield '42. I gotta get a job. :beam:
Thatâs what I did also in most of my computer classes Nothing like UT on the network.
Just finished Half Life. This game rocked! Such a shame I didnât play it when it came outâŚ5 years earlier
Congrats! Now youâll be more up to speed when you play HL2. Good luck with whatever you decide to start out on next⌠(Deus Ex?)
Probably I have a lot of work on the site and other stuff I need to wrap up before I spend a whole week on another game.
Haha!
I just opened up my steam app today, to play some counter-strike, I just noticed that I have HL! I never really looked at the games that came free with steam, and I started playing HL, and man this game is great for being out for so long!!!
opens up HL
Steam is cool, but they need to fix it before they release HL2. Fortunately, Valve hired Bram Cohen (creator of BitTorrent) to help them improve the distributed net-code.
i never played half-life up until about 2 months ago. i got it to play CS also. i must admit it was quite entertaining for being an old school game. the last couple of levels were fun!
Hehe Half-life indeed rules
Iâve got this video with a speed run of half-life, this dude finished the whole game in only 45 minutes!

You should check it out, itâs really funny! (some think itâs a rape of half-life though )
Greetz, ScHAmPi.
That video was amazing. Itâs really cool how he was able to pretty much skip an entire stage by using trip mines as a ladder
Kirupa, you should get Opposing Forces (The Half Life Sequal) and play it also.
HL has been and will always be my favourite game of all time, even when HL2 comes out. Itâs the game which helped me âboost it allâ. Starting by duke nukem 3d, going into starcraft, then into half-life, my mapping career was really fun.
Go check out the powernode series on svencoop.com, itâs the only thing i ever released. Shi-t, you ask me? I can do slightly better now --but not that much better :P. Like, I donât map Natural Selection-worthy maps. Thatâs way ahead of me.
I attempted to map serious sam because it was one of the first engines to allow really huge landscapes without slowdowns, and also masses of enemies, but it was really hard to catch up on (so much that I didnât ever produce a playable map).
Once I get ahold of a good PC to play Farcry onto, you can be sure iâll start plopping down some worlds! That video of the engine (with the guy mapping in a breeze) looks inspiring.
I played all of the HL episodes, and now, my favourite mods are The Specialists and Svencoop. I also experiment Contra Force and its derivate, Contra Strike Force, both on thaigamenetwork (or is it thaigamingnetwork?).
If anyoneâs up for some modding of FarCry in a teamup, a mod which we could host on a cool flash site (isnât this the purpose of kirupa.com?:)), well contact me @ [email protected] and Iâll reply and further the project once i get my new comp (which should be within the next two weeks!)
A coop mod already exists, but what if we add complete overhauls (and new maps which are not only the usual jungle-and-beachesâŚ) like urban environments, new weapons, perhaps some highly alien or âhorrorâ creaturesâŚMy head is full of ideas, but of course, like anyone, itâs the determination that counts when trying to mod. Not just the ideaâŚ
