Although my choice of first person shooter has changed over the year, Quake 3 has always been a competitor far in the lead. I have to admit however, that for as little I cared for UT 2003,
Unreal Tournament 2004 has grown on me and is a strong rival. I especially enjoy the team onslaught maps where each team must destroy the opposing team's power core through a chess like game of linking their power nodes to unlock access to the core. I put some purdy pictures in the "
more" section of this post for clarification. The thing it really has going for it is F-U-N. Fun is something a lot of gaming companies lose sight of in the race to put out the most graphics crippling effects possibly at 30fps on the dream gaming systems of today that only the few fortunate can actually comfortably purchase. It is sad... but true. So the LAN party I attended yesterday was a big success. I got to see some old friends that I used to work with and generally had a great time. The only suck factor was that the host lives 53 miles from my house in traffic. But hey, I knew the risks. Today, I'm attending (and shooting) Sam's new son's baptism. I need to go get ready for that, so I'll bow out for now. I hope everyone has an incredibly lazy day.
I’m looking forward to some remote fragging soon now that I’m back to operational with a functioning rig worthy of gaming. It’s going to make the occasional freelance gig a little more comfortable too but as I got closer to plunking down the cash I really didn’t want or need to be spending right now visions of Counter-Strike Source danced in my head and made it a *little* less painful.
So, I was walking down the street the other day and saw a space alien and then killed it…
