I have this old laptop that now I find won't update its virus definitions, because it's win98 - Nobody makes an anti-virus that'll run with it anymore. Plus it can't take more RAM but it's still going fine (NEC Versa VX).
So I found this program that'll turn it into a clock/alarm that looks like STTNG. Ultra geeky, but fun!

It had a few bundled DOS games in there and Trek trivia.

Geeky is fun
There are a million flight sims out there.I'm currently playing IL-2 Sturmovik 1946.It features planes from WW2, primarily German and Russian.
There's a campaign, quick mission builder and tons of single player missions.The real cool part about this game though, is the full mission builder.
With perhaps the most confusing and quirky interface I've ever seenThe full mission builder is the shizzle.
You can put everything from stationary AA to moving trains and each AI component can be tweaked, right down to the time it does particular actions.
Building a full mission is a labor of love, but oh boy...the results are fantastic.
I fucking rock at Solitaire.
Angry Birds! Found a Pc version.
Any good new flight sims come out in the last year, or coming out soon? I'd love a new MS Combat Flight Simulator or something with awesome graphics.Originally Posted by Hal-9000

I was in Futureshop today... they had a 500$ 'flight control system.' This Saitek company makes a ton of really cool, really expensive avionics gaming gear.

I'm not sure...once I started playing Sturmovik I quit looking at other flight simsAny good new flight sims come out in the last year, or coming out soon? I'd love a new MS Combat Flight Simulator or something with awesome graphics.

I'm playing Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 again...I just love the scenario when you're back in North America at the strip mall and defending Nate's and the Burger Barn

Soooo good. There's something so eerie about fighting a war in a video game that looks like your neighborhood as opposed to some jungle in Cambodia. The post-EMP part of the campaign in DC is awesome. One of the most memorable games I've ever played
Funny, people get uptight here when the Japanese or whoever don't want US bases near their towns anymore. I don't think most of us understand what it's like to have you home utterly annihilated. To have had your home become a war zone - even active army personal haven't had that. Those people near bases on Japanese Island who have lived it just don't want to be near a target. Not surprising it pisses them off. We just cannot understand how strong a sentiment that is unless we lived on Okinawa in '45 or something of the like.
Anyways... I'm off on a tangent as per usual
Great game, think I'll have to throw it back in. I hope MW3 comes out in the near future and is just as good. I'm still disappointed Infinity Ward has been kind of pillaged. They were IMO far superior studio to Treyarch
I like CoD Black Ops and didn't like it....there was sooooo much drama
I swear, at one point there were about 5 cutscenes in a row and I got to shoot for a grand total of 27 seconds throughout.
Don't get me wrong, the CoD franchise excels at creating mood but c'mon! If I wanted to watch a movie I'll throw in Saving Private Ryan.
You would love the full mission builder in IL2-Sturmovik.There are about 10 main categories for planes, buildings, lights, fires, artillery and within one category...'Objects'...there are 622 choicesI fucking rock at Solitaire.
My friend has the game and I thought he was a total noob at creating missions (the interface is brutal).I went to his house this past Friday and he says -
Hey hal, wanna see my mission? I thought he'd have a few planes attacking or some cargo ships floating around as targets.
OOOOOH NOOO
at each other, AA emplacements shooting at observation balloons, convoys of trucks shooting at trains....and us in our little plane flying through all of the carnage.
It was amazing.
That's my game of choice.I fucking rock at Solitaire.
Hey, let's get together an play a hand or two!
Gravity Has Gotten The Best Of Me.
I know you don't agree but IF's Modern Warfare games are SOO much better than World at War and BlackopsI like CoD Black Ops and didn't like it....there was sooooo much drama

I've stopped playing Blackops all together. Back to Bad Company 2
