    The orignal AvP was brilliant for late night gaming.....

    ....the only true way to play it was at 2am on your own with a rubber mat under ya :pac:.

    I couldn't play that for too long, as a Marine I'd get this pain behind my ears.. stressed out from it so much. Mood far better than AvP2. Loved it online.

    I nearly got ill from Doom 3's monster cupboards.. played at night for some reason. More adrenalin shock than being 'spooked'. Cheap.

    I play this more than I'd care to admit, in the small hours. If I'm waiting for something to finish burning, encoding etc.. or grabbing a cuppa.

    Dice Wars (Flash web site)

    Yeah, it's actually a better game, but the story's not done yet. You ever read Scorcho's Let's Play Guide? Kept me going through some crazy nights. :pac:

    It's very very buggy.
    And the LOI isn't researched at all, which irritates me.
    I've since gone back to FM08/CM4 actually

    Yeah it is a tad.

    New patch has made it workable.

    Got a decent game going as Barca.

    What's annoying is that a few smaller leagues like the LOI, the Scandies etc, they're not quite as strong as they should be. A tad irritating.

    Yeah and the Dutch and Belgian leagues too...
    I have a mammoth game going atm with Shaktar Donetsk. It's great fun- 2-3 real matches a year domestically and LOADS of money.
    I'm hoping next year that they'll really grind out the bugs and research stuff. Downloading patches is poxy when I'm not in Dublin. :(

    Indeed. Tis a pity.

    I'm doing what I always do - big team until I get bored - then start again as a tiny team (usually in the same game) and drag them to the top. Thinking maybe San Marino in Serie C2 or FC Vaduz...

    Those cursed Management games. Up til 5 yesterday playing it.
    Red Alert, or any C&C game, or any game the starts with "Age of".
    Age of Mythology is my personal favourite.

    What about the Half Life and Counter Strike games? Are they still popular? I had mates that would spend entire days on them. And of course World of Warcraft was another one that they enjoyed (with a lot of beer too!!!)

    Personally I love the Final Fantasy and Resident Evil series. Brilliant stuff. Resident Evil 2 my personal favourite of that series. Final Fantasy VII, VIII, X and X-2 are awesome. I love the storylines and how the characters develop over the course of the game.

    Funny because it's true. I've added about 3,500 posts here since I quit WoW...

    Some might say that my addiction has simply transferred over!
