"PC GAMING - Longest thread"

Yep that's right, there's been scores of these starting up, but all have failed. Let's make this thread a place for PC gamers to chat. Post anything you like in here, comments, reviews, but no spam please.

OK, lets keep this going gamers. For beige box and country!!
Or something like that. :)

Hasn't happened to me yet...don't think it will anytime soon either.

I've done that a few times when I've been off playing games in the hope it will ignite the spark again. Fortunately a few months later when I've gone back to playing they've been played to death so I've got my moneys worth.

Nah...don't bother. What will happen is you'll buy a game and then play it for 30 minutes and never touch it again. You'll regret buying it soon after since it was a waste of money. Happened to me twice now :(

I've been off for probably a year and a half... how things change! I would now be getting back into them, that is if I can be bothered with actually buying any.

Hm...maybe I'll be like that...I've been off games really now for at least 1 month.

I tend to go through phases where I'll play a couple of hours a day for a few weeks and then go a few weeks without playing at all.

It wasn't actually necessery to read it all but it covered EVERYTHING. So it was useful just to look stuff up.

Two or three hundred? Bloody hell!

Don't think I'll be picking up Civ 4 any time soon if that's how complex the last one was! Then again, the Age of Empires Gold manual was massive, but that was mostly explaining about different empires you can command... and that wasn't very complex. And it had some damn funny cheats!

I don't know anything about it at all, but Civ3 stole many, many hours of my life away. Pure awesomeness on a shiny circle.
But it took forever to get the hang of. And the two or three hundred page manual was slightly offputting too.

It sure looks impressive, and quite a step from the other Civ game I have, which happens to be the original from 1992!

> Government and politics huh... sounds like fun.

Not particularly, though did I take part in a trip to the Houses of Parliament in September. It's full of gold paint and so on, pretty cool... despite the fact we were treated to a Q&A session with Jack Straw, the rather dull Foreign Secretary.
