I’m Back In There Again!

Posted on 11 October 2007 by FoxTwo

Strange as it may seem, I have started spending time in There again.

I thought I had already gotten There out of my system back in 2004, when I quit it to go to City Of Heroes. However, lately I have just been toying with the idea of going back. And, I did (as my Xfire banner can attest to).

Now, I am not “addicted” like I was back in 2004. Yes I have been to Second Life, I checked it out, I even met an old gaming buddy there in 2nd Life. However I don’t seem to like 2nd Life much. I don’t know why. I have checked it out before in 2004. I checked it out again in 2007. I still don’t like it.

Another buddy of mine, my regular drinking buddy, got me into IMVU last year. Same thing – didn’t like it much, plus, it’s like a “lite” version of There and 2nd Life. No “world” to explore. Just “scenes”. Anybody in the group chat can just change scenes at whim. It really interrupts the conversation.

Anyway I still do hang out in IMVU, if only for the friends I’ve made in there. Recently IMVU introduce “groups” too, and it was great. However, as the old adage goes – “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!”

They went ahead and “fixed” it. It wasn’t broken.

Now it is.

Bah.

I need to get back to GRAW….

Call of Duty – Looks Impressive

Posted on 11 October 2007 by FoxTwo

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare Update – PC News at GameSpot

I was just catching up on news of upcoming releases on various gaming sites, when I came across this piece in Gamespot.

Now call me biased, but I have never been a fan of WW2 games. For example, I never bought any WW2 flight sims – all my combat flight sims are modern-era ones, ie with jet fighters, radars, and BVR missiles and stuff.

So it is the same when I play FPSes – I don’t like WW2 stuff, so I never bought games like MOHAA (Medal Of Honour – Allied Assault for the uninitiated) or Call of Duty. I kinda avoided them, although they were popular on gaming servers.

Well what can I say? Call of Duty 4 looks impressive. I might just add this to my “must-have” list. If it’s anything like Armed Assault or GRAW, I could be loving it, although I don’t know if I’ll ever have time for online play. Speaking of online play – I haven’t been on Battlefield 2142 servers in a long time. In fact I’ve been gaming very little of late. If you take a look at my Xfire banner, it doesn’t show “40 hours” anymore, like back in the 0ld days… nowadays, it’s like 1 hour or 3 hours a week… sigh! Sign of old age I guess.

Speaking of games, I still haven’t finished up GRAW2, and I’m still kinda mucking about in GRAW1. Bioshock has been put on ice for abit… I just feel that I need to finish up GRAW2 first…

Not only that, Tabula Rasa is scheduled for release on 30 Oct 2007 – GAHHH!!! I had promised my old guildmates back in EQ2 that I’ll meet ’em there once TR is released… dang I need to get on Teamspeak soon and talk to them – see if they’re still going over to TR…

So many games, so little time!!
