The Cysko Kid Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 I wouldn't have time to run Linux, and it winter, I play video games that wouldn't play... ...and tons of firewood splitting await, etc etc etc etc. Linux is actually ridiculously easy to run. So much so that even some root beer drinking hillbilly farmer could do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Wait, you're just not getting around to HL? What in the actual fuck, Cal. HL and HL2 are top 50 games of all time. The latter probably a top 25. yes, I know. But I've been really busy. lol. Haven't played many games for a while, everything went went wrong with the big garden.... etc etc etc. My old half life crashed, wouldn't run. I deleted it, and bought another one at a garage sale, it won't even install. ah well, have Windows 10 now. Have to go buy a new state of the art game... I really liked the old "Far Cry" games...

calfoxwc Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 I had steam once, on Win xp, it screwed up stuff - and I deleted it. May have been tainted ... This winter I'll be playing some good game. I don't do the demon stuff, but If I can crawl though a jungle, or dense woods, and take out the enemies.. oh, I'm a video game sniper zealot. Sneaking up on zombies seems so stupid. Like sneaking up on a rock... not fun. nazis, terrorists... they fear me. Have tons of work to do on the farm, taking part of today off, close to time to start frequenting our woods to watch for anybody poaching. and, I'm going squirrel hunting for the first time. Finally got the squirrel population back up. Back in the day, poachers pretty much wiped them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cysko Kid Posted August 22, 2016 Report Share Posted August 22, 2016 Linux by nature is owned by no one and everyone. Does the nsa have their own brand of linux? I wouldn't be the least surprised. It's incredibly powerful. Hence the nsa being attracted to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gftChris Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Top five games of all time: go. Games or franchises? I never really played things like Bioshock, Fallout, HalfLife, or the MW versions of CoD (an M1 and a couple of grenades is way more fun). For me I will basically buy and play any new game in these franchises - Total War, Diablo, Football Manager (soccer...), Elder Scrolls, probably a couple more I can't think of. Of those, I'd pick Medieval 2, Diablo 2, you don't care about FM, and obviously Skyrim. Going back a bit, Goldeneye/Perfect Dark, Zelda on N64. I don't do a lot on PS (never owned an XBox), and what I do is mostly single screen multiplayer games like Little Big Planet and Rayman. Oh, and you've obviously got Mario Kart on the Wii.

The Cysko Kid Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I've got: Resident evil 4 The Elder scrolls: skyrim Final fantasy 7 (tough call for me between 6 and 7) The legend of Zelda: a link to the past Super Mario world All these games have massive replay value. Some runners up: Bioshock (1 and infinite. You're missing out chris) Mass effect 1-3 Grand theft auto: San andreas Red dead redemption Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cysko Kid Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Other games I still love and play through the magic of emulation: Super punch out Mortal kombat 2 Tony hawk pro skater 2 Wwf smackdown Street fighter 2 Super castlevania 4 These games are still fun but I'm more of an adventure /rpg guy so action games can never make my mount Rushmore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bbedward Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Idk about the best games of all time, but the ones I've had the most fun playing: Half-Life everything (+Counter Strike) Metal gear solid series Goldeneye N64 GTA San Andreas Super mario world, but pretty much every mario game is great. -- I've played a lot of oblivion awhile back, and I played a small amount of skyrim. Never really had interest in zelda for some reason. All those huge lengthy open games like fallout/skyrim I just can't get into because I don't have time to sit around and play for hours at a time which I feel is kinda necessary. I haven't even finished MGSV yet, been working on it for like 6 months at pretty much one mission here and there. And I just don't really play video games much - especially in summer time.

gftChris Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I don't get a lot of time for video games, particularly real-time ones, compared to when I was single. It's a cliche, but true. Turn based things like the total war series get a lot more traction as a result, compared to skyrim, for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cysko Kid Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Fellas i've got three kids 5 and under. After 10pm is my time so I can play video games. I'm in the midst of replaying skyrim for the 3rd time and it never gets stale. The humongous open world assures you'll never do the same thing the same way twice. Unlike a metal gear or a mario bros or even gta you have complete freedom. I'll spend hours just literally decorating my house in skyrim and not consider it wasted time.

gftChris Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 Skyrim is brilliant for that. And never mind even the different classes to give you different ways of doing things. I'll sometimes be in the middle of a bandit cave raid and just sit and read about dwarven mining techniques or whatever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cysko Kid Posted August 23, 2016 Report Share Posted August 23, 2016 I guess not everyone has the sort of imagination that would be stimulated by such a game. There's always call of duty "bro". Chris I'm surprised you've not tried fallout 3, New Vegas, or 4. They play exactly like elder scrolls but with its own distinct and equally as rich world and lore. If you've not played mass effect I highly recommend. It's pretty fantastic especially if you like rpg hybrids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
