fuzmeister: Quake Live

---

Quake Live is pretty sweet, for what it's worth. I'm not really sure how much data is stored on my local machine and what's done in the browser, but it's impressive.

There skill-based player matching seems to work nicely too. I'm still getting my ass fragged fairly often, but I'm also turning some of them to gibs. It seems fair to me thus far.

Anyway... log on and try it. It's totally free and quite nice. My username is Fuzmeister if anyone wants to friend me.

fuzmeister: Behind The Curve

So I've been playing Doom 3, it's atmospheric, designed well, and quite scary. It's no Half Life 2 though - honestly, that game boosted my standard for modern FPS games in a way I can't describe.

Seriously, that game is really freakin' awesome. It's not even the physics, the graphics, or the maps - it's just the entire package as a whole. It is so well executed and enjoyable.

I've been playing through the Episode 1 expansion, but I don't find it to be quite as compelling. Still great though.

I will say that I'm surprised how well Half Life 2 performs in comparison to Doom 3. For a game that's four years old, Doom 3 still has some slow down on this machine (though the video card isn't that great, so that's probably why).

Ah, well. On with the mission, marine.

So I "inherited" Kate's "old" computer and bought Portal yesterday. So far, it's really great - definitely an achievement in design.

Now I'm not usually for huge crossovers that make no sense, but I am actually quite excited for Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe.



This is bad since I don't have a 360 or PS3...

My friend Shawn got me playing Maple Story. Yikes. Let's hope it's not a gateway to WoW playing/addiction. I've steered clear of that for several years and would like to keep myself from getting involved with that game/drug.
