I miss playing my Gamecube. PC games are great but I miss that "Nintendo touch" The weird thing is I'm never bothered to play Gamecube.

Hehehe...sorry but that's common newbie talk (the bit about CS anyway :P) Now I'm not going to say that ET doesn't require teamwork (since it obviously does) but CS also requires teamwork and tactics. It might not at first glance or on publics but if you get into a decent clan then you'll see what it's all about. It's not simply run around and shoot people and try to plant the bomb...I doubt that's why the game has lasted 6 years. The fact that its got alot of depth makes it my favourite game. I'm not taking anything away from ET of course and I can only make a fair comparison once I've tried both.

Interesting...looks like Uni is on your mind alot. And Niamh. But that's natural since you spend alot of time with her.

Nope, I have to be able to finish the year, they cant after a semester. Id say its gonna be one of those "how much is hospital stuff really affecting you" type of things.
> Havent played it yet.
You'll have to download the ET pro patch do you have that too? I'll have to explain a few things to you when you decide, because I was a little confused when I first started playing.

I got in a fight with my ex because she wouldnt try it and would rather play counter strike. I told her that it's the same old thing capture the flag, team death match. It's boring, in ET you have to do things and there is far more teamwork. I cannot build the bridge to get the tank over to blow anything up unless there are snipers keeping the axis away, or covert ops leaving covering me with smoke and field ops clearing the path with airstrikes and medics keeping me alive :)
