Hrm, I was juggling 18 credit hours in college and end up having to drop Physics because the load was too much. Still ended up having trouble in school after dropping it because it was already halfway into the semester. Didn't get a job going into summer break, which led to my parents badgering...

I saw a discussion on Final Fantasy games in here and I want to say in 1, 2, 4, 5, and 6, backtracking to get better items wasn't how you could easily screw up...What ended up screwing me was usually being underlevelled and not being able to go back. You could go without several of the...

I never tried the mods for STALKER, playing it completely vanilla for SoC and CoP. I tried playing Clear Sky and that was such a buggy mess even I couldn't tackle it. OT, I play games vanilla at first and then if something interesting pops up as a mod, I go and get it. For example, the Misery...

Looking back, I think this game was ahead of its time. Very innovative, but also very limited. Still a great shame seeing it die out.

I remember trying this on one of their free weekends. It was a pretty cool experience to say the least, but my computer couldn't handle it due to a low-end graphics card. That and the lack of diversity in weaponry really weakened the overall game. Whether it gets going again depends on the...

I think you're missing a pretty good opening sequence. MechWarrior 3 "It is the 31st century, and mankind is once again, at war. The battlefields of the future are dominated by huge, robotic war machines known as battlemechs. Piloting these awesome weapons of war, are the elite of the...
