    What's the oldest game you keep going back to play?

    Legacy of the Ancients (C64) - The game felt ahead of its time and had decent minigames for gambling and stat boosting, bank robbery and some cool dungeons. It also had some rather draconian copy protection. I don't know if there's a legal way to obtain and play this game anymore. I...

    Dragon Age Franchise?

    Somewhere down the road, if you get a chance and haven't done so already, try playing as a mage with Morrigan, Wynne and Alastair, then later replace Alastair with Oghren. Three mages in a party is pure badassery and the dialogue between the two tanks and Morrigan/Wynne can be hilarious. I'd...

    'EVE Online' Player Stories Will Turn Into TV Series

    /s The Goon/BoB drama alone filled up a giant thread in the gaming section here for a time, and resulted in the dissolution of the(?) biggest corporation in the game. Goon induced drama and espionage alone is good for some pretty tall tales. I wonder if the movie will show anything about...

    Another Just Cause 2 MP open beta coming up

    When I was on there were vehicles sitting around that would respawn periodically. There were a couple hundred people on and finding transportation wasn't a huge problem as long as you avoided the teleport points (like the main airport.) It was a mix of mostly empty area (huge game world), a...

    Another Just Cause 2 MP open beta coming up

    It's been in development for awhile and it's been mentioned here from time to time. The first public beta was July 1st, 2012. I only caught the last couple hours and didn't participate in any real testing. There's a little lag here and there with models but overall it played pretty well and...

    Looking for first-hand [H]-user opinions of Windows Phone 8

    Good call, that's definitely a problem. The select/delete functions from Photos would be a huge improvement to email. Heh, that would make Joel Spolsky article.

    Looking for first-hand [H]-user opinions of Windows Phone 8

    The Lumia 920 seems to be the popular W8 phone. I picked up the HTC 8X last week as my first smartphone and the UI is amazing. The only reason I chose this phone was because of its shape; it's very slim, fits my hand well and comes with a rubberized back (yay for no bulky cover.) [edit]...

    Fucking arr4ws!! :p There doesn't seem to be much in the world that I haven't seen already but it's been fun exploring. I keep getting the feeling that the Langoliers are going to show up any minute and devour this dead world.

    The Official [H]ard|Gaming Minecraft Server

    That's probably where I got it from; you linked to it in a post on this thread or the other big hardcraft thread. I wasn't clear what I mean by calling it your 'save'.

    Not that I see. I remember seeing a screenshot of this pyramid once. BabyBlue and DyNamiC. have labels in this. I think this is one of Nick's old saves. http://i.imgur.com/qCx4Zk5.jpg
