Ah, I'm glad we have you're permission
Anyway if we're going to talk about games; anyone had a chance to play Overlord yet? I'm dieing to try it. It sounds like Pikmin (a fun game in it's own right), without all the minerature teletubbies! Plus, you get to be EVIL! Sounds like a winner, can't wait to see if they pull it off.

Yea I usually try to make it a point to avoid words like "pwn" and "w00t", especially after 5 years of playing EverQuest...but sometimes it can't be helped lol.

FPS PC games for me, though I've never played online. Love them. No thinking. Just blast the bad guys!

Cool Games

My favourite game I think is the Hitman series. My favourite hitman game is Himan Blood Money. My brother has completed it. If anyone has it, can you give me a few hints for A new Life.

I get bored of the hitman games after the first couple of missions. too much trial and error. I beat Blood Money, but only by turning on godmode and killing everything in sight (I think the last one I completed sans cheating was the one in the mental health place). I was really impressed with the New Orleans Mardi Gras level, that one was a blast.

I play a lot of Counter-Strike: Source. I played World of Warcraft for months, was up to lvl 62ish, but grew tiresome. I haven't signed on in months; I'm sure my guild has booted me for not being around. I need to cancel my subscription so they don't charge me anymore.

I played WoW for about a year and a half, quit just before the expansion came out. I think I just got sick of MMPORPG's after 8 years or so of playing them (everquest, then guildwars, then WoW). Now I don't really play anything.

Has anyone played Call of Juarez. That is really hard. My brother has trouble with it and he's 16 and the game is a 15

Haven't played "Call of Juarez", but it got decent reviews.
Any HL2/Counterstrike players tried out the Insurgency Mod beta yet? It's pretty cool. Lotta things to improve before final release but defenately promissing.
