I play on my Xbox 360 when I have time. I don't play this game as much as I used to, but I have been playing an online game called COUNTER STRIKE for about 10 years. It's a fun combat game.

What you guys really need is a BIGGER MONITOR.

I have a Dell Quad Core system hooked up to my Samsung 56" TV and Sony 1100 Watt 5.1 Channel Surround Sound System (using optical cable).

Too bad I only use it for browsing the Internet and reading OpenCarry!

Meh.. my 24" is big enough for me.

Sometimes at LAN parties I use a friends 32" TV.. thats probably as big as I'd ever want my monitor to go. I put it about 4" in front of my face and play RTS's on it.. pretty sweet.

Hey, I figured I may as well join the party. Haven't done much gaming lately, but when I do I usually play:
World of Warcraft - Stormrage - lvl 80 Dwarf Paladin, lvl 80 Draenei Death Knight, lvl 80 Human Warlock, numerous alts. I used to be a hardcore raider but got burnt out shortly before Ulduar was released. I haven't had much desire to play since.
​
Combat Arms - Recently discovered this one, it's pretty good for a free FPS. It's made by Nexon, the same people who made Maple Story.

Team Fortress 2 - Classic, 'nuff said. Check out the Dodgeball maps!

Battlefield Heros - Love it!

​
Now for my modest gaming box:



Specs:
OS(es): Dual boot between Arch Linux x86_64 and Windows Vista 64
CPU: Intel Q6600
Memory: 4GB PC2-8500 DDR2
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 4870
Mainboard: Asus P5Q Pro
HDD: 2x Seagate 1TB 7200RPM SATA Drives
Case: Cooler Master RC-690 - I've had many, many cases throughout the years (including Cooler Masters), but this is by far the best case I've ever owned. High quality, high value.

​
Displays (including my messy desk):
Primary: Hannspree (Hanns.G) 28" LCD @1920x1200
Secondary: Westinghouse 19" LCD @1440x900
​

​
My idea of a custom case mod :)

I played counter strike for two years straight when it first came out. That's the one that got me hooked on online games.

XBox 360 = tvancecantdance

Counter Strike = I have not played ina while but my name on there was

[L.o.M]Bubbles. LoM was the clan I played with called "Lords of Murder". I used the name Bubbles because he was a funny character on a TV show I watched call Trailer Park Boys. I highly recommend that show for a good laugh!

The thing I liked about that game was how realistic the gameplay was. There were servers that had certain plug ins that had extra fake things, but if you played how it was originally made, it was like real life combat. The whole "Terrorist" vs "Counter Terrorist" aspect of the game was cool. Rescuing hostages, or defusing bombs gave each team a sense of purpose. I miss playing it. It is very addictive. Between the various sounds and maps for the game I think it uses up about 35GB of my hard drive.

Nothing but the best for north! I wanted two matching cases for my two main systems that were simple and classy. I was actually looking for green, but ended up going silver. I was looking in the $100-$200 range and all those cases seemed gawdy and designed for two year olds with a gold card. Just too busy. Finally I found those two for $29.99 each, lol. They are the cheapest things ever but they work and are simple looking, but classy in my book.
