Sooo, how many of you are avid gameplayers? Maybe we should sort something out, like a channel9 gaming night.

I personally play most games on steam(cs,dod,etc) And I also have a new character on World Of Warcraft.

Anybody else?

I'm quite the WoW player myself. I have a 60 Tauren Shaman on Tichondrius but I've left that server to join some friends on Blackhand. I'm re-leveling a shaman there (Mogoran) and a mage as well (Kanejin).

As we all know, Horde is way better than Alliance.

As far as other games go, I don't play much on PC or XBox nowadays. I'll probably pick up Dungeon Siege II when it hits the company store (I didn't like the first one that much but I have a strange optimism about the sequel). I'm eagerly awaiting the X-men Legends sequel as well as Fable: Lost Chapters for X-Box.

I'm a demo fiend.  I'm too cheap to buy a bunch of games... not only that but I'd really prefer not to spend too much time gaming my life away.  Right now I'm playing the Battlefield 2 demo.  Nice graphics, and pretty decent gameplay considering the variety of vehicles and weapons.  Oh and playing on a really big map is cool.

I recently discovered Pocket Sarien, which is an AGI emulator for the PocketPC, allowing me to run old Sierra games such as Space Quest 1 and 2, Police Quest 1, King's Quest 1 through 4, Leisure Suit Larry etc. on my PocketPC. That, is just incredibly cool.

Edit: Do some of you remember the name of a tank game? By now it's probably more than 12-15 years old. The view was top-down and you had to drive to the enemy base and shoot everything. I always played it in 2 player mode against a friend (on 1 computer).

Sampy, yes you are correct Big Smile Horde do rule. <- LVL 12 Tauren Shammy on Burning Leigion.

So if we wanted to organise some kind of channel9 gaming night it would have to be either CS: S, BF2 or UT2K4

I really don't play much either. Occasionally I will play Empires or CS if some of my friends are online.

I prefer the small addictive games nowadays as well like Katamari. I am actually looking forward to the Revolution so I can download the early Nintendo games since they did not take a week to get started with everything.

Is that the AGP version? Get it with an Arctic Cooling NV6 VGA Cooler. Alt. get a nice SLI motherboard and get the PCI-E version and get them on SLI.
You could also get a nice 7800GTX as well.
Perhaps a 6800 (AGP) modded to a 6800GT or Ultra? If you do that, then get the right Arctic Cooling VGA cooler for it.

The casual game market is growing very rapidly. I usually find myself playing arcade games on the net. As a designer of casual arcade style games I like to keep up to date with what's happening in that genre. There's always something new to try, and they're just plain simple fun.
