The "What are you playing?" topic.

So Starcraft 2 drops in America this Tuesday.

I can't wait to check it out :o

never played the first one, but my buddy seems all excited about it. if theres a demo ill try it.

Sad to say, but WoW is indeed one of the best games out here gameplay wise. After having played to most MMO's and RPG's available, I've come to the conclusion that none of them can even try to compete with WoW nervous yet extremely deep gameplay.

As for the players, I've met several dudes who play WoW, have very good jobs and a family. Not everyone there is unemployed, student and living on welfare.

the question is: are those with very good jobs and family vey high level? doubtful, because almost everyone I've ever known who's parent(s) work dont get home until at least 5-6PM, and many get home later. where does the WoW time come in? factor in dinner, shower, and family time, and you probably have a max of 2 hours to play each worknight, and thats assuming that you got home at 6:00.

Your expectations are misplaced, you'll find not all jobs are one in the same in hours, shifts and work responsibility. There was a guy I worked with early last year who boasted he only worked twelve days a month, and that was a busy time for him.

I played WoW on and off for four years. In that time i met people from all walks of life, and yes, including those with "very good jobs" and families. Meneldil is right, not everyone playing has no life, although those players are there as well.

Installed Quake 3 for some mindless FPS action. I almost forgot how much fun this game was, but my FPS skills have diminished somewhat. It's going to take me some time before I get effective with the railgun again.

Bad Company 2 on PS3, Far Cry 2 on Xbox, Age of Empires (1!!!!) on PC,


Far Cry 2 is an amazing game still, but it was weird how it handled the part I just did; I was at like 31% completion, then several blackouts, cutscenes, and about an hour later, I'm at like 48%. still great.

Age of Empires, where can I start? Old school RTS, if you haven't heard of it you must be living under a rock, 10,000 feet below the surface of Death Valley. Still pretty damn difficult though.

Why don't you play Quake Live then?

It's what everyone's playing nowadays, including me.

thats why I said almost, not just plain everyone. one of my best friends, again, plays WoW, and he's not what I'd call a loser. but he does spend too much time on it.
