TF2 re-downloaded? Check. Kyle not accepting my friend request? Check.

Ergo, I will shoot Kyle first.

I'm mostly playing Heroes of Newerth (which is now open beta!), but I occasionally sprinkle some FFXIII in there. I just don't find it exciting/interesting enough to play for more than an hour or so at a time. It feels like a chore.

I also got a beta key for Starcraft 2 today, so bring that on!

ETA: I also play BBC2 sometimes when my real life friend or HoN buddies want a break. Steam ID is leron13 or something. lol. I can't remember. :\

my first computer game was Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, black and white, no sound. I had to have been about 3 or 4. I have since played it in color with voice overs, and finally beating it was huge triumph.

Indiana Jones and The Fate of Atlantis was pure gold.

Multiple way to solve the puzzles, great dialogue an amzing script. LucasArts did masterpieces back then.

As much as Telltale works well, that golden age is never coming back. I weep.

I think Alex Kidd in Miracle World was the first game ever I played properly. It was built into my Master System, which was great but meant that I came to associate it with my cartridge not working.

SALES!

Direct2Drive are having a spring sale and, in true D2D style, they make it as confusing as possible with regions. UK, US, Yurp. You might be able to use other region's stores (and currencies), I'm not sure.

This week's deals are, in screencap-o-vision:

Highlights are King's Bounty: Gold Edition (both games!), RollerCoaster Tycoon 2: Combo Pack (best of the series from the guy who made the great Elite), Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth (atmospheric, interesting sanity system, bit buggy).

On steam, Zombie Driver is 50% off. You drive at zombies.

On Impulse, the Civilization III and IV Ultimate bundle is on sale for $an amount. I cant see what it is because of regional restrictions, US and Canada only.

Oh wow. I'd totally forgotten about that game. Well played, sir.

Aliens vs Predator Classic 2000 (as opposed to Aliens vs Predator Terrible 2010) is on sale for £2/$2 (33% off). Great game, absolutely terrifying!

The Commandos Collection is also on sale for £4.99/$5 (75% off). WAR! PUZZLES! HARD!

Currency conversion is for nerds.

Mine was one of James Pond's Aquatic Games, Elite: Frontier, or the original Prince of Persia. All on Amiga.

Can't remember which games we had on the Speccy, I was too young.

[TheInfamousBiGD]

I knew this is not exciting anymore but, I just got my copy of GTA IV anyone that's still excited add me

[rhesusattack]

I just got Splinter Cell in the mail yesterday. I would love to check out some co-op sometime if anyone on my friends list is playing, or you can add me if you want. I'm not even close to having a full friends list.
