Morning Discussion

by Chris Faylor, Oct 14, 2008 6:41am PDT

Hey hey hey, welcome to Tuesday. This means two things.

First, those in North America should be able to find Dead Space in stores tomorrow. I think it's worth a look, as I came away impressed, and a little scared.

Second, we're one day closer to Friday, which, coincidentally, is when my Xbox 360 comes back from ye olde repair shop. Come home soon darling, I miss you :(

Oh, and if you're one of those Diablo fans, you pretty much need to check out the mind-boggling display of Diablo 3 information that Nick has compiled in his Diablo 3: What We Know So Far preview.

Day Of Defeat: Source menz

The admins of Dallas DoD:S need YOU! Regarding the new Dallas server:

What would you like to see changed?
What would you like to keep the same?
Is there a chance we'll get people populating the server OUTSIDE of Shackbattles?

Lots more in reply, I've sorted it by areas you may be interested in.

      If it isn't expensive I'd probably check it out. I like realistic games but I like deathmatch stuff, too. DOD falls somewhere in the balance in a place like CSS which, though I was/am damn good at css, I just am so sick of the way it does accuracy and hit detection, etc.
      
      I might have to go find my copy of RTCW as I can not think of one bad memory from that game. There is always ET:QW... Oh well, I don't play games too often now anyhow.
      
      I've the money to buy new games but am trying hard to save, hence I'm playing dod with you fun folks :D
      
      But thank-you for the recommendation.
