I love the plague. It's been crazy fun terrorizing Shattrath with the rest of the zombie horde. It's also kinda neat to talk to horde when you're both infected. I wish a form of this would stay permanently

Are they really that hard up for space because of all the penis creatures in the game?
You would think they would have this problem well in hand when the situation arose in the first place.

/penis

Hah, I've spotted a Fark reader!

l2 background download/unblock ports

This has got to be one of the most annoying things I've read all day. The whole L2 meme or tardism is old, annoying, and played out. You're not cute.

/edit long day at the office, probably a good idea to tone it down

Blue, thank you for continuing to make Bluesnews the enjoyable site it's always been. 12 years. Wow!

kxmode, you got me interested in this Bloodymare game.

How is it similar to warcraft? Less of a Lineage2 style grind? Screenshots look good

I thought RF Online was okay, but it lacked polish and focus. I had no idea what the point of the game was when I played it.

The free private servers were infinitely more fun than live.

definitely good to see these back!

I think that makes sense.

Personally, I'm getting it on Xbox anyway. As much as I love my PC, playing games on the couch on my big TV is just more appealing nowadays than sitting in my office playing on the PC.

Preference of course.

Article mentions the PC version only, saying that the console versions appear to still be on track.

Raven has always released solid, entertaining games. Can't wait to see what the new IP will bring!

Ironically, even though it's not a Raven game, this thread has me thinking fondly of the old Strife. Such a great game, too.

One of the only games I'm looking forward to this year. Looks amazing

I'm a Mac user (and Microsoft professional), and my only observation on the PCMech article is that it reads as though the writer is a 5th grader.

Happy birthday, Doom. Thanks for setting me on the career path I still enjoy today!

Not normally a comic fan, but the Godmode one is pretty good.

Duke 3D is still one of the best ever. RIP. Needs more Live Arcade!

Something that could finally show Sony is a good light is marred by upper management yet again. Perhaps the fate they're cruising towards is well deserved...

I hate how people get so doom and gloom about things. Personally, the only goof on Blizzards part in the past few years (aside form initial stability) is the damned small shoulders on orcs they let slip through the cracks on the last patch.

I am a beefy green face melter with these itty bitty shoulderpads. Argh.

Hot damn, 11 years. When was Blue's Quake Rag founded?

I remember anxiously looking at Wedge and Choryoths site for the latest updates on ACBeta and Quake Kart, or the numerous hits to impact.frag.com for the latest on Quake Rally.

Seems like yesterday.

British Hacker link is directing me to a BBC 404 page.

Hmm, I wouldn't be pissed off about Halo 2 taking so long to port. The Halo series is mediocre at best. Now, what I am annoyed with is that Mass Effect will be a 360 exclusive for at least a year

I thought the same, being a PC First Person lover. I threw Halo 2 in the closet about 3 days after buying it for being such a disappointment, but recently found the motivation to beat it.

The game isn't technically the best ever, with tons of graphical glitches and sometimes repetitive gameplay... but the storyline in part 2 was fucking awesome. It really saved the game, and has made me look forward to Halo 3 in a BIG way. I wasn't even going to bother picking it up, but now I want to see the conclusion of the story pretty badly.

I doubt I'll ever buy into the PS3. Overdone Japanese RPGs don't really excite me (or perhaps living in tokyo has jaded me) and 599$ for a video game machine is retarded.

This Christmas my family popped open the Wii and we bowled, boxed, golfed, and played baseball for hours. My 60 year old parents who haven't played a video game since the Intellivision were hooked... and that's saying something. Even the sister in law, who despises video gaming, was having a blast. At work, the buzz is all about the Wii and how their kids were all asking for it for Christmas.

At 599$, with no killer-app currently or in the near future... I don't think the PS3 will last too long... Jaguar 2.0?


And on the subject of Xbox 360: I've been fairly hesistant to buy one for the past year, but picked one up as a birthday present to myself and haven't been happier with a console. I find the only game I play on the computer anymore is World of Warcraft, and I can't stomach raiding so even that is played sparingly. I've fallen in love with it. Gears of War is rock solid fun, Perfect Dark: Zero was an unexpected treat that reminded me highly of Goldeneye, Doom on XBLA (Doom over the internet without punks crashing the servers, omg!), Rainbow 6: Vegas... all good reasons to own the system.

I'm done ranting. Playstation 3 was Sonys biggest mistake, and launching early at a loss was Microsofts smartest move. Nintendo has the gimmick/innovation to generate buzz and introduce non-gamers to gaming... PS3 really has nothing but a high price.
