night?

i just sent you all a text about the plan

age of empires 3 - copland will buy them, just put the cash in his account


so...
the big question
when will we do this
let me start the ball rolling by saying that I have a small group at my house every other wednesday night, so that's no good for me. Thursday is probably not the best either...

in order of preference i'd go...

tue
mon
thur

cool... lets get a consensus, get the game, and get rollin'

hello, old friend?

hey peoples...

it would appear as though our old friend, guild wars, may well have thrown its hat into the ring to be considered - at least in the short term, if not the long...

here is the announcement and release of the 4 year anniversary content
check it

things to note...

the big one is the new zaishen quests
each day there will be 3 new quests (but you can only have 3 uncompleted ones in your quest log at once)
cool rewards are on offer

there are also some other cool things like
extra storage
a new pet menagerie
ability to makeover characters
upgrades to the hall of monuments

anyways... it may be enough to respark interest
check it

Gettinbg back into it...

Hey boys!

So, I've spoken to Caine and Ian about getting back into some sort of game.

The game I'd really like to try is called Fallen Earth, a post-apocalyptic sand box game, that is yet to be released. It'd be nice to get in on the ground floor of a game. The only problem is that it has no posted release date - could be any time???

The other idea I had was to play Age of Empires online against each other. Its a simple game, not too expensive and it'd be fun to try it, I reckon.

Thoughts???

Sorry, I'm out...

Hey boys, sorry, but I'm out for tonight. Feel free to do whatever and I'll catch up. Also, this is just an idea... what about a hiatus for the next few weeks?

There's a lot going on (for everyone) and so I was wondering what you all thought about taking a break for about a month and then getting back into it about half way through January - either with Call of Duty or with Guild Wars (or a combination of the 2).

So, let me know what you think. I think it might revive us all a bit and get us back into it, plus I know Caine and I are out for at least 2 Mondays in January anyway (Youth Camp and District Assembly).

I'd suggest we come back on the 12th or 19th January. Thoughts?

Things to do list...

Next week I think we should hit the Borlis Pass. Ian, is there anything you have vanquished that we could do without you?

Who's with me!?

Gamespot CoD:WaW Review

If, however, you are hoping for an exciting campaign, fun cooperative play, and engaging multiplayer action, then you'll find a lot to be happy about in World at War.

they give it an 8.5 which is great
the full review is here

I'm particualrly excited about perks.
you can equip 4 at once (1 which is vehicle specific). These wil help us defien our styles. They range from one that helps you swim faster, to one that lets you climb trees and one which i'm sure i'll use often called "play dead"

The weapons list it also extensive - you can see perks and weapons here

What's in a name...

Think of what your online name will be for Call of Duty. Think now!

Sorry guys, I got it wrong...

Hey guys, I know we've been discussing the new game, but I got it wrong. I thought you guys were talking about the new game put out by NTC, "Call of Judy". Its a real-time strategy game where you play as Judy Giesken, living at NTC, taking care of 4 boys and being the wife of a lecturer, while taking on the tough quests and scenarios that come your way...

* Will you go to chapel this week?

* Can you just drive past the office or do you have to go in and have a chat with Jess?

* Should you help out at the college working bee?

* If you hit a wallaby coming home one night, drunk and don't tell anyone, what happens?

Call of Judy - Can you handle it???

More Random Pics

All my early pictures are on my other computer's hard drive but here is my Kind Of A Big Deal pic.

I have a bit of a way to go before I get to this guy. This is the last in the 'kind of a big deal' title track, over 30 maxed titles!

Kind of a big deal

















This one speaks for itself










Random bees pic

This one was taken during halloween...have a look at the amount of districts there were! on the top left!

Tuesday's Gone

Just confirming that we are Monday bandits from now on. Also, I felt someone needed to post something new as the cool factor of those bees was starting to wear out.

Anyone got some cool games ideas other than GW?

Are you keen to keep doing missions in hard mode?

Copland... please come to Sydney! 1 night only, catch up with some old friends, meet new interesting people, say goodbye to Kiel who's going to London in January... Whaddaya say???

PS name the band (from the post title... and the Adam Sandler movie it is in)

Last night...

Last night while Caine and I were doing some running around we came across these...

In case you can't tell, here they are highlighted...

no me tonight

got school awards night this week
camp meeting next week
we switchin to monday or what?

the other end of the spectrum

whilst a first person shooter would work
i found an MMORTS (Real Time Strategy) that looks interesting.
its called Saga, and here's the intro site

what are we looking for anyway?

so...
the question is... what is the criteria that will meet our desires for a new game

my thoughts are

• meets all our system requirements
• can play together (with each other) or cooperatively
• no monthly fees

i'm happy to go for a fps, because the options are so limitted
there's a wiki article here on all known co-op games... the list of pc ones with 4 or more players is not long...
