Hello… Yes I’m still here. Blog was off-line for a bit, sorry about that, some hosting\/server troubles. <\/p>\n
Whoa, where have the last 2 months gone? <\/p>\n
I’ve been away… Spending (too much) time in Rapture, City 17, White Forest, and within the Aperture Science Laboratories. <\/p>\n
I’ve been doing a lot of killing! *evil laugh* Whohahahahaaar.<\/p>\n
Yes, PC games. I’m having a heap of fun playing all these FPS (First Person Shooters) PC games: <\/p>\n
BioShock<\/b>
\nHalf-Life 2<\/b>
\nHalf-Life 2: Episode 1<\/b>
\nHalf-Life 2: Lost Coast<\/b>
\nHalf-Life 2: Episode 2<\/b>
\nPortal<\/b>
\nMINERVA: Metastasis<\/b> a mod for Half-Life 2<\/b><\/p>\n
I’ve also got these other FPS PC games that I’m yet to jump into: <\/p>\n
F.E.A.R<\/b>
\nF.E.A.R: Extraction Point<\/b>
\nS.T.A.L.K.E.R: Shadow Of Chernobyl<\/b>
\nFar Cry<\/b><\/p>\n
I’m really looking forward to buying\/playing Crysis<\/b> (the demo is awesome), and Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare<\/b> when they’re released shortly.<\/p>\n
PC Games huh? <\/p>\n
Yes, whilst my younger sister and friends are having babies (congratulations Nat & Stew, Paul & Heidi) I’m getting back into playing computer games… Mid-life crisis? Wanting for my early teenage years? Refusing to grow up? Yes, probably.<\/p>\n
It’s an exciting time for FPS PC games. Some fantastic games released this year. Probably the best FPS games to date. Huge advances in enemy AI, game-play physics, large, open, interactive environments, amazing realistic graphics, immersive atmospheres and storylines. Lots of satisfying game playing fun to be had indeed. It’s fantastic to have a beast of a PC to be able to enjoy all these new games on as they’re released, and playing at full settings, with no problems at all.<\/p>\n
I’ve been having a blast. <\/p>\n
Portal<\/b> is a really unique and fun game, such a clever concept. The cake isn’t a lie! Yum! \/me sings ‘I’m still alive…” LOL.<\/p>\n
It’s fun being back into computer games again. It takes me back to my Commodore 64 days in the 1980’s. <\/p>\n
Speaking of Commodore 64 games… I came across this the other day… Valkyrie17<\/b> (1985) one of my favourite text\/adventure games lives on… The original creator has made a free Windows version, awesome! It really makes you appreciate just how far computer games have come looking back at this.<\/p>\n
