Just feeling the waters to see if anyone out there likes to play when they are not FReeping. Heck, may be one heck of a way to settle disputes.

Counter-Strike, Day of Defeat, and Vampire Slayer are the only games worth playing online...

Medal Of Honor, Jedi Knight II and Bridge Commander are my main games right now. I picked them up to "stress test" my brand new "Uber-DELL" ("Stress test"...yeah, that could work...yeah...)

I do have UT, though and I can pull together 3 or four others who would link up, all with high bandwidth connections. One of them is an avowed democrat though, but like the rest, he can be a lot of fun to shoot, too.

I'd recommend MOH is you haven't played. The Normandy Landing level is right out of "Private Ryan". Get the patch and the "blood pack" mod from www.planetmedalofhonor.com. Lots of Nazi-killing goodness to be enjoyed here.

Jedi Knight II has very similar game-play to it's predecessors. Lots of puzzles coupled with tons of battles with Storm Troopers and Light-Saber wielding sociopaths. It became A LOT OF FUN when I found the cheat codes that activated realistic light-saber combat ("Helpusobi 1" in the console followed by "g_saberrealisticcombat 1"). VERY GRUESOME. I never laughed so hard. It took about 3 seconds to fall to the "Dark Side" after that. Luke would have been pissed.

Anyway, Freepmail me when you have the server up and going.

I play Diablo 2, and I just last week bought Dungeon Siege, which allegedly has wicked multiplayer capabilities. Anyone wanna play a chick game?

Also, here's a thread that you might find helpful. I started it awhile back to find other FR gamers, and was quite successful.

Any FR gamers out there?

If UT is like Q3 Arena, then it seems like you could just notify a few friends to be at such and such server at a certain time and you could take over that map. I might have to check out UT if it's as fun as Q3. I have Unreal, but I guess that won't work too good for network play.

I got out early this morning and mowed my lawn, so now I have plenty of free time the rest of the day. What to do, what to do? I think I'll dedicate some quality time to some Unreal CTF today! That's it! ;)

I've scouted four CTF servers that give good pings and let you vote on maps. I'll probably be on one of these today, come on over if you have the time. The servers are:

1. [PURE]UnrealMafia.com

2. [CSHP] =NFL/Bunnie Alliance LGI-100 {N}

3. [CSHP] (m) }i{nstagiber Clan LowGrav Instagib 135 D-3

4. {OF} East Coast p'way pen

Thanks for the ping - I moved out to the country recently and don't have high-speed access....looks like I'll have to sit out - I think UT over dial-up would fry the line.

Know anything about home satellite connectivity via DirecTV/Honeywell? I might start a thread to see if anyone knows about this....that would put me on the UT circuit again!
