TFC! TFC! TFC! (for the non-educated, that stands for Team Fortress Classic) TFC! TFC! TFC! You guessed it, I’ve been playing more TFC. Remember how I said that The Sims was incredibly addictive? Scratch that. TFC is more addictive than every game that I can think of right now (which is about 6 [it’s 1am, what do you expect?]). I can’t remember exactly how much TFC I played, but I will give you the Highlights from “Team S&L’s” Saturday Night TFC Fest!(which also includes gandalf). I rocked, gandalf was doing ok (he had some good sentry placements, even got me once or twice), and Loogie, the Llama, sucked (had about 3 kills). I played as spy (killed Loogie multiple times in the water of “Rock2” [30-35 kills]), gandalf was an engy (killed a lot on “well” and “2fort” with his sentry [20-25 kills]), and as mentioned before Loogie sucked bad (got a few guys as a soldier [3 kills]) In case you’re wondering, we played on the “[DX] SECS TFC #1 v4016” server; it hosts up to 16 players.

Moving on, I also played MS Links 2000 demo (I’ll have the review up soon), Jezzball (level 11!), some other stuff, and, of course, Doom2.

Gandalf: “Alan, you dumbass! You let Snake stab you in the water!”

Damnit! Stop shooting my head off, assmonkey! is what could be heard all this week at my PC. And why? Did I lose another E-bay auction? Well, yeh…but it’s really because of my non-stop Team Fortress Classic playing. I have been refining my spy and engineer skills in “2fort”, “Badlands”, and “Well”. I love being the spy and swimming into the enemy base in “Well” as a sniper. Then, walking up to their perch and stabbing the stupid-ass snipers who are always headshoting me. The good-for-nothing red-dotting dumbasses never know what hit ‘um!

Besides my revenge in TFC, I played some Doom2 and Doom Shareware and DX-Ball2 and Chip’s Challenge and (are the English teachers mad, yet) Dark Forces 2 and the MS Links 2000 demo. Just a usual, old week…Oh!…and I got an E-mail from a guy telling me that my AoK scenario was buggy and I won 64megs of RAM on E-bay.

Better check your back before I do (with my knife)!

Nothing much to report. I played some DX-Ball, always a great game to play when you have limited time on your hands. Also took care of 50-some snipers in 5 maps of the “Hunted” for TFC. I’ve been doing a crap load of scenario-editing and MOD tracking, though. So, look for more downloads from me in the future.

I think i just figured something out…The Sims sucks! It was good at first, but when you play it so long (24 hours in 3 days), you’ve basically seen everything the game has to offer; especially if you cheat (I couldn’t help myself, damnit! The Plasma TV looked so good). Speaking of plasma (guns), Doom2 has really been my thing this week. I also gave up the old Doom95 for well…the aging Legacy (why doesn’t anybody tell me about these things). I just can’t stop playing Level 32: Grosse using Legacy with Gravity at 0.06; I call it “Matrix Doom”. The Nazis look so wicked exploding under the power of my fists and I can dodge the CyberDemons’ bullets…er, rockets!

Besides that, I might have played some DX-Ball2 earlier in the week; can’t remember. The carnage just floods my mind… well, that’s it this time, off to play TFC with Loogie and Gandalf.

“Come back here, you mofo CacoDemon!”

Whilst my parents were in the Bahamas, I had what will now be called the “Sim-Fest”; a festival of…well, playing “The Sims” for 26 Hours in three days (and I had school one of those days). The biggest chunk of my time, and probably the longest I’ve ever spent playing a game straight, was on Friday: 7:30pm to 6:30am; 11 hours! Everything you may have heard is true; this is an extremely addictive game. So far, “Chris” has a 7-room house, plasma TV, hot-tub, a job as a Lobbyist, and a hot wife, “Rebecca.”
But, “The Sims” has it’s share of niggles and obnoxious things; things that are present in the real world, but not the game. So, I went to the Longbow Digital Arts site and found an upgrade to one of my already favorite demos, DX-Ball2. Now it has in-game music, cooler boards, and multiplayer support (basically just a tourney on one system). It reignited my love of this “blockbusting” demo (they call it a full version with just 24 boards, though). And as always Loogie and I fragged our way through the zombie-filled multiplayer levels of Doom2 on Doom95, and I played a good many “Hunted” maps as the Prez in TFC. 300 points for the BodyGuards!

Damn Snipers!

This week, I’ve been playing Populous: The Beginning a lot (Loogie gave me a copy of it); and got through 5 levels so far. Populous is a excellent game, and if you have some time download the demo (I gave it a 9 on the DemoBoard). I must commend Bullfrog for the graphics, cutscenes, gameplay, interface, and Bump-mapping on the menu (believe me, the menu is Wicked).

Besides Populous, I enjoyed some Chip’s Challenge, Age of Kings, and of course TeamFortress Classic and Doom2. I’m anticipating “The Sims”, so next week expect most of my list on that game. Well, It’s time for me to engage in some Delta Force (also a great demo) on NovaWorld.

Happy Gaming!
