Action Quake 2, a tweak on it that makes the sawed-off shotguns shoot... KNIVES! (note: those are all heading towards me...)

Image

In case you're wondering, taking a close-range shot to the face gives damage something like this:

And some random shots of Homeworld 2, love that game...

This is from the mmo Asheron's Call, killing some random newbie about 10 years ago. His begging for his life made me laugh :):

My selection (click for 1440x900 versions, sampled down from 1680x1050)...

GTA IV. This was one that immediately sprang to mind for the comp. I'd played it when it originally came out but GFWL hadn't tracked my achievements so started to play it again recently. Unfortunately, I'd not played enough to unlock the middle island to get a chopper for easier picture taking so had to play for about 3 hours first to get to that point!

Image

ARMA:OA. I only have the demo installed as I don't rate the game, especially when compared to the fantastic Operation Flashpoint (original!) but as OFP looks pretty grim thesedays, I had a play in OA to try and grab something decent. Not the nicest of landscapes but I like the Hueys flying past.

Image

Minecraft. This game takes me over for huge chunks of time every few weeks. One of the things I love about it are the lighting effects, especially when dashing through a cavern, trying to place torches quickly before something nasty spawns! Currently exploring the area pictured (the little stone posts mark cavern entrances) and preparing to make a nice house on the cliff where I took the picture. Still playing my original map!

Image

Miner Wars. I picked this up just before Xmas but only just installed it. Nice to float around asteroids, blasting them! Not yet had chance to explore the gameplay proper.

Image

The last image is the gag one. Hopefully, if I'm lucky I'll be able to get past this red barrier soon!

Image

Hope you like 'em! :)

It's time for an upgrade. I'd like to play current games.

The TR version of super mario world. I need a new GTX560 so I can start playing games that are not 16 bit. And yes the game does play :wink:

You know, boys, a nuclear reactor is a lot like a woman. You just have to read the manual and press the right buttons.

You guys aren't taking this whole Joining thing seriously, are you?

Funny thing, Picasa's face recognition wants me to name Alastair :D

Dug up a screenshot I took in college. I just started the game and this was the first room, no joke!

Finally, one shot of graceful aerial combat, from a more civilized age...

"Pretty"/epic entry:

Boone. Not quite so helpful at close range.

It was just a hug, officer!

This actually cost me 40 silver. Worth every copper.

Obligatory appeal to the judges :lol:

Note: I actually like some cops in my town.

2. I started falling asleep at the adventurer tutorial. I used to be able to play this game until I was level 9 or so.
