The Gaming Thread

[El Pirata]

PS3 - nickname: supahoopz

Play FIFA 13 99% of the time. The other 1% I play the Uncharted series, fantastic games which I play more the months before a new FIFA release.


Always love manager games, all the way back to "One Nil" on the Commodore 64. Loved the Footballer of the Year series too on C64.
Later I had the Amiga 500 and we used to set up Sensible Soccer tournaments, wonderful times.

And before the Championship manager/football manager days me and my mate run a Play-by-Mail manager game from my PC (old 486). He later used his computer skills to something usefull and started programming and creating the first games for mobile phones. Recently sold his company for £4 million that dirty b******

Do you ever play FIFA with Fernandes, gamer tag: bottomless money pit although the cheap bastard is using FIFA 12

Snake on an old Nokia...

Nokia 3310, my first cellphone

That bloody snake game was sooooo addictive, every time I needed the phone for a call the battery was gone!...

This is not a thread for me. I've no interest in X-Stations, Playboxes or the Nintendo Puu. Give me a commercial proposition to analyse and Microsoft Excel and I'll give you something to hang your towels on.

Yeah it was in the beginning but later on they just made it worse

Excel - now you're talking! You can't beat a decent macro and a ridiculously long formula (well I can't anyway).

Only play on PC!!!!! FPS all the way! Call of Duty (from 1 through to BO2), BFBC2, BF3 & just lately Arma2:Combined operations (Including DAYZ & WASTELAND MODS).

also a pc guy, and also an arma 2 oa guy (dayz as well)

Interestingly (or perhaps the exact opposite) I've had little need for spreadsheet macros since the demise of Supercalc about 20 years ago. I've found there's nothing I can't do better with one of those ridiculously long formulae. You can't beat a combination of vlookup, if, sumif and iserr!

On PC - Company of Heroes is brilliant
PS3 - Battlefield3, Drakes unchartered, FIFA and how about Madden ?

You're absolutely right Uber - pretty much any report can be produced with judicious use of those formulae.

Most of the others I've used were just for templating regular reports for my old team and most of the macros just kill the repetitive data hacking.

Probably my most effective was one that ran for half an hour and updated and summarised over 100MB of data.

Probably should have just learnt access but you lose the fun of watching it all go...

You're a man after my own heart, Matt.

Bloody hell, me neither!!!

 

[Tipperary_Hoop]

Forgot about that, me too, although stopped again recently.

Also forgot Tiger Woods on the Wii, great game and great fun.

I too played wow for quite some time...accts in EU and US but gave it up....always was alliance.

Now i play some World of Tanks but am bored with it.

I have preordered the upcoming SimCity.

 

[Queenslander!!]

Surely for the best games you've gotta go "Old Skool"

Remember
Pac-Man, Asteroids, Scramble, Missile Command, Gorf,Donkey Kong, Defender, Dig-Dug (origional Mario), Outrun & Sega Rally ?

All clasics that can still be played today !

 

[Tipperary_Hoop]

Used to love Frontier (elite) on my Amiga

 

[kiwiqpr]

ps3 for me
i only play the shooters
eldest likes the car games..youngest is now into wrestling
all i want to do is turn the machine on and kill things
cant really be bothered having to spend time setting up a gearbox or choosing tyres etc and theres no point me taking on the 9 year old at fifa 12
even when hes only allowed to score with his keeper he thrashs me
