At the moment pretty much all of my few local friends who actually play games are dinks who now spend all of their time playing WoW. So, feel free to look me up and send an invite to play games. ^_^

Hello! <3

Bit about me. I've been a gamer for the most of my life. When I was seven and waiting for my parents to pick me up from piano lessons, the teacher's two sons showed me Super Mario Bros 2. Needless to say I never learned to play the piano very well...

I've flip-flopped several times between consoles and PCs. I generally love non-generic FPS games, puzzlers (Tetris is probably my favourite game of all time) and platformers of all shapes and sizes. I tolerate RPGs, but usually don't bother because I just don't have the time to invest in them.

I'm one of those freaks that regard FF7 and Ocarina of Time as merely average. That might be partly because I'm biased against the first round of 3D games that generally looked and played like crap compared to the 2d games at the time (during that generation I was a PC gamer, where they actually could do decent 3D at the time). By no means are they bad games, but plenty of games have done just as well and actually looked good in the process.

Yeah yeah, graphics aren't everything. But as important as gameplay is, looks still matter. It doesn't have to be the best looking thing around, but it at least has to be passable.

I tried to be a collector for awhile, but realized there was no market where I lived and gave that up. Currently I have an NES, SNES, GameBoy/GameBoy Colour/GameBoy Advance SP, DS, a 360, and of course my lovely gaming PC. ^_^

TFT - 2008/9/9: Back In The Saddle Again!
ScottyG | 11:36 AM on 09.09.2008 4 comments




Greetings one and all! Now that PAX is all said and done with, and we've all presumably had ample time to recover from the trip (or the PAX posts for those of you that didn't go) it's time to get back to business: Team Fortress Tuesdays!

Caffeine is a little busy and asked me to make the post this week, which is why things might look a little different again. He wasn't too busy to pick out some maps though, as we have four new ones to try out for tonight! And if there was ever a time to download the maps beforehand this is it:

- arena_mach2: Made by the ridiculously talented vilepickle, this map re envisions the mach layout with the new forest theme.
- dom_complex_b4c: I believe this will be only the second domination map we've tried on TFT/FNF, which is a shame as dom is a fun gameplay type. We'll see if it's worthy of staying on the server.
- ctf_aerospace_a10: At almost 43 megs compressed (well over 100 uncompressed!), this is definitely the largest map I'll ever have played on. Make sure to get at least this one beforehand (preferably get them all beforehand though) or suffer an excruciatingly long wait at the level loading screen.
- cp_nuke: Really not much to say about it except that the screenshots look good. We'll find out how it plays tonight. :)
