yep, i'm exactly the same! was always quite good at mariokart and sf 2 but could never beat my brothers at it...Melvil said:When I was younger the SNES occupied a fair few hours of my life - Mario Kart and Streetfight figured prominently! Now I just really can't be bothered but if I'm round a mates and they're playing something I'll generally pick up a pad and go for it.
Without blowing my trumpet too much (oh go on then, actually blowing it quite a lot) I kicked ass at Sf2 - it was one of the handful of games that I was good at. I used to bet my friends and, well, anyone that I'd beat them with, say, Dhalsim or Balrog and they had their choice of characters (including Sagat, M.Bison etc) and I'd rake in the cash - actually used the money to buy more games for the SNES...bonj said:yep, i'm exactly the same! was always quite good at mariokart and sf 2 but could never beat my brothers at it...![]()
On eof those was my nephew...he is German and he and his freinds live eat and breath that game..they operate on some kind of team basis and via audio hook up and they spend days on it laughing at newcomers. It's pretty sad, 'cos if you ask them what they are they seem to think that they are 'gamers' which is apparently some kind of new occupation.I stupidly accepted a mates invitation to play counterstrike and get thrashed repeatedly by german and dutch 12 year olds who insulted me

Is Bioshock running a new UT Engine? Or is it the same engine they used for Gears of War/Rainbow 6 Vegas/GRAW2?marinyork said:Can't wait till UT2007 comes out soon. Bioshock is outstanding, unfortunately it doesn't run very well on Ge-force 8s. I hope future games use the same engine. New GTA coming out next year, exciting times for PC games.
