I just recently got tired of Freelancer, it was a lot of fun though. Currently playing through Ghost Recon (nail-biter). Just started on Unreal II (nice graphics) and Postal II (not for the politically correct, it makes Vice City look like a Disney cartoon). I have Elite Force II ready to go, but haven't played yet. LAN game of choice is still StarCraft:BroodWar. 😎

Hey Esso, I've downloaded the D2 patch, but I havent installed it. What does it do/change? The last time I looked at Blizzard.com, they hadn't released the changes. Is it anything worth messing with?
And, I dont think the graphics for Postal 2 are <b>that</b> bad, but thats not the point anyways.
Cat silencer, hahahaha.

The Diablo 2 1.10 patch does the following according to Battle.net (this is a little out of date, but most should be true):
-------------------------------------------
Diablo II 1.10 Patch Update
In the process of upgrading our Web servers, some incomplete and partially inaccurate information pertaining to the upcoming Diablo II 1.10 patch was uploaded to the Arreat Summit. This information reflected changes to Diablo II that in reality have not taken place and may not take place at all, because the 1.10 patch is still a work in progress. We have since restored the correct information to the Arreat Summit, which is accurate as of the most recent patch (Diablo II 1.09).
Because some of the incorrect information has started to circulate around the Web, we felt it would be best to post an update highlighting our current plans for the Diablo II 1.10 patch. Please note that this information is accurate as of now, but it might not reflect what will be found in the final version of the patch. We will be posting further updates about the Diablo II 1.10 patch up until its release, so please watch the Arreat Summit for any new information.
The Diablo II 1.10 patch is currently running through our QA testing procedure. Although we don't have a release date set, we are working hard to get the patch out as soon as possible.
Seasonal Ladder Characters - A new ladder system will let players compete on a seasonal basis. At the beginning of each season, the ladder-based world of Diablo II will be "reborn" and players will be able to create new characters to start their climbs again on equal footing. For the duration of the ladder season - which has yet to be determined - these ladder characters will exist in a new economy, separate from the other non-ladder Battle.net Realm Diablo II characters. When a ladder season ends, all ladder characters from that season will join the pool of non-ladder Battle.net Realm Diablo II characters.
More Challenging Gameplay - Diablo II players who adventure in the Nightmare and Hell difficulty levels will experience a world in which the monsters have become more powerful and substantially harder to defeat. Players may need to develop new tactics or enlist aid from others in order to face these strengthened minions. The monster improvements include enhanced AI, more skills, greater damage, and higher resistances.
A New World - Players can expect to encounter more randomly distributed unique monsters in every locale and even a few guest monsters where players wouldn't normally expect them. In addition, characters above level 70 will require increasingly more playtime in order to gain levels.
Enhanced Skills - The skills of each player-character class have been thoroughly revised. On top of that, a new system of "synergies" has been added to each character's skill set. Allotting a point to certain skills will result in synergy bonuses to one or more of that character's corresponding skills. After the patch is released, visit The Arreat Summit for more details.
Item Improvements
Enhanced Class-Specific Sets - The class-specific sets in Diablo II: Lord of Destruction have been significantly improved - some with abilities never before seen in the game.
New Unique Items - Around 100 new unique items have been added to the world (many being elite uniques), some of which can be found only in either single-player, TCP/IP, and Open games or in 1.10 Ladder games.
New Unique Item Properties - Some of the all-new unique item properties introduce entirely new twists to the world of Diablo II. Imagine a Barbarian who can shape-shift into a Werewolf.
New Rune Words and Horadric Cube Recipes - The patch will introduce new Rune Words and new Horadric Cube recipes. Some Horadric Cube recipes will work only in either single-player, TCP/IP, and Open games or in 1.10 Ladder games.
Improved Treasure Drops - The quality of items dropped by regular monsters has been greatly increased.
Improved Quest Rewards - The first time a player defeats an Act-ending boss monster, the creature will yield significantly better treasure than in subsequent encounters. Some of the other quest rewards have been improved as well.
Better Gambling Odds - The average quality of items won via gambling has been improved.
New Anti-Cheat Measures - We have addressed some of the ways that "grief" players have used hacks or exploited features/bugs in Diablo II to unfairly attack others. We have taken measures to address a number of existing cheats, hacks, and illegal items with an eye toward preventing such cheating in the future.
Bug Fixes and Other Enhancements - Once the patch has been released, refer to the final patch text for a more detailed list of bugs fixed, changes made, and new features added.
New Game-world Event - Players can trigger a secret new quest in Hell-level games. We don't want to spoil the surprise... so, we'll just give you a clue.
Unique Class-Specific Barbarian Helm Revealed
Wolfhowl is a Unique Item created specifically for the Barbarian that has been added in the 1.10 patch for Diablo II. This ancestral helm allows the Barbarian to transform himself into a Werewolf while gaining the skills Lycanthropy and Feral Rage. He also gains the ability to summon Dire Wolves to fight by his side.
This screen shot is from the latest release candidate for the 1.10 patch of Diablo II that is currently being run through our QA testing procedure. Although we do not have a release date set for this patch, we are working hard to get it out as soon as possible.
New Diablo II Game World Event
Players can trigger a new, secret quest in Hell difficulty games. While we don’t want to spoil the surprise, we did want to give you a clue to get you started when the 1.10 patch for Diablo II releases. Note: this event is ONLY available to realm characters and does not trigger in single-player or open games.

No prob - yeah, it is a pretty good patch. Its like a mini-expansion almost. I'd say the big 2 changes are:
1) Its much harder to get to a really high level
2) New powerful items, especially in the form of sets, which can actually give you a different character model

Change #3 is that Hell difficulty is now <b>much</b> harder. My bro has played the beta extensively and has been killed in ActI Hell with charactors that have beaten Baal in Hell difficulty (and he's no slouch, this is using all the best items, rings, charms, but no hacked items).
Change #4 "Skill Synergies" make some low level spells as powerful as a lot of 30th level spells, increased firepower for casters.

I'll try to find that somewhere. I remember when it came out but it didnt catch my eye at the time.
I hope they come out with some new adventure games.. but I think Full Throttle 2 will satisfy me

I wish morrowind wouldve included some kind of LAN play, so I could at least play with one other person.
You gotta admit, that game gets lonely

If you're interested in playing "Enter the Matrix", go pick up Max Payne for 10 bucks and download the Kung Fu mod. It's a MUCH better play.
"Doesn't anybody have gamer-ADD like me? All this talk about mmorpg this, and strategy game that. A little Everquest here, some HHOM there. All I gotta say is: BOOORRRRING!"
I also find RPGs (not only MMORPGs) and round-based strategy games boring, but I like some real time strategie games like the Command&Conquer series (didnt play Generals yet, because I dont have money now) and games like Warcraft III. I also like some simulations like the Sim-City games (except Sim-City 4).
I also like FPS games (I currrently play UT2k3) and sport-games (soccer-games and soccer-manager-games), but I find racing games boring (maybe because I am not good at them).

Actually my time has taken a major detour to Everquest and Neverwinter nights. EQ is old, I find it kinda crappy but I like it alot, I never tried it until recently (I play on a free account) and its got me really excited for world of warcraft.
Neverwinter is also a game I just started that I shouldve months ago, talk about a kickass game. I wish someone wouldve thrown it in my face and made me buy it on release!
As far as FPS, the AvP games were always so cool because of the different races, but I sucked as the predator cuz i needed to use his powers so much but I liked him the best.
I have UT2003 installed but I never play it, it reminds me of Q3A (my favorite FPS) with better gfx.
I wouldnt mind going back and playing quake 1 again, that was my fave quake due to the co op multi that you could do..
and heres to wishing that doom3 has multi gameplay like q3a. :frown:
I have serious sam 2, its fun in co op multi.. i didnt like it in deathmatch very much though. Q3A still rules there.

Just graduated from the demo, of Will Rock, to the real game, the real game is way more intense than the demo, and a lot more exciting, and if anyone thats played the demo, gets to the demo location in the full game, and thinks, I'm going to breeze right through this part, they're in for a big surprise.
