• We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

Well, simply put, we have a lot of computer geeks and gamers here, as we've already addressed in our previous thread. Rather than completely hijacking the thread, I figured I'd start a new thread...

Simply put, with your beastly machine, what do you play?

I'm currently playing the following:

CoD4
Left for Dead
World of Warcraft. :)banghead:)
FarCry 2
Assassin's Creed

Various other steam games.

Everything of course at 1920x1200, on a 24" widescreen. :D

World of Warcraft for me.

Occasionally I'll play COD4, Diablo/Diablo II, DOOM3, ...

I'm waiting for Diablo III to come out next year.

Still running a P4 3.0 but the 3GB RAM/XFX 8800 GTS/and 24" LCD makes most games run ok.

Currently on Elune. Alliance: 80 Human Pally, 80 Draenei Hunter, 75 Human Lock, 70 Draenei DK (and way too many alts in the 1-40 range). I'm an oddity, I don't raid and I no longer PvP. I basically level a character and either delete or shelve it.

I only play one or two nights a week now.

I can't wait for COD: Modern Warfare 2 to come out in a few months. Rage, and a few others look awesome too...

I don't do any PC gaming, but I've got a 360 and will occasionally play on my PS3. Currently playing CoD:WaW and TF2, and impatiently counting the days until Modern Warfare 2 comes out. Speaking of CoD, am I the only one who liked 5 more than 4?

I did like 5 for a while better than 4... maybe I still do, not really sure. WaW has so many bugs and unfriendly features.

Like I'm one of the few million people who have the server refresh error. Where in order to be able to connect to servers online, you have to refresh the server list, completely exit the game, go back into the game, and then you can connect to servers. If you don't follow this process then get you "Server Authentication Error" all the friggin time. This happens on both my laptop and my desktop. I have the latest copy and its through Steam so its constantly updated.

Additionally, the little stupid bugs drive me nuts in that game. Sometimes when you name all your classes the game just randomly decides to delete them. The server filters are horrid and buggy. Just a poorly designed game overall.. but still fun to play.

I now feel insignificant in my playing of CIV: IV Beyond the Sword and my XBOX 360. I mainly play sports games on the XBOX.

I also like shooters, but not so much on the CPU. I like them better on the XBOX.

I'm your exact opposite. I don't really care for sports games, and shooters on consoles with joysticks are terrible..

Your so much more accurate and controlled with a keyboard and mouse. The gameplays a lot faster too.

But racing games.. I hook a gamepad (ps2 style controller) to my pc for racing games..
