iceman

IceInSpace was started as my personal site but grew into a community site.

The name iceman was the name I used back in online gaming days, and was still playing online games when I started this site.

In the past I had thoughts of renaming the site to something more generic, but IceInSpace is unique - so in that way, it's good. and, it still has astronomical context... comets.. made of ice

You still into gaming Mike, or fully retired?

iceman (Mike) · #7 24-01-2008, 04:42 PM

Fully retired, Kal. Gave it up cold-turkey. Probably the easiest way

I look at some of the new online games and would love to have a bash, but my computer wouldn't run them anyway.

LOL! It's funny - I haven't ever had an action game on any computer I've owned. I get bored in about 8 seconds trying to play Doom or whatever bang-em-up-type games. You were addicted Mike? How does that happen? I could imagine the wife having a problem with the time spent in front of the box - I know mine does when I'm on here, let alone playing a game for hours...

I will admit to owning and loving Riven though.

My younger brother was into all these D&D things at Uni, so I guess it's easy enough to become over-involved with.

Iceinspace seems pretty clear cut to me, a comet.

Mike you should do what I did get a console. Much cheaper on the wallet. Having to upgrade your PC for a game just seems to much trouble. Especially when the cost of a good graphics card could set you back 500-600 bucks, for that you could buy a console. The Wii i have now keeps my wife busy on the Tennis also useful on clear nights.

You still need to upgrade the consoles though! Every 2 years a new and better console comes out with new and better games. And they start out ridiculously expensive.. and the games are so expensive!

netwolf · #11 24-01-2008, 08:09 PM

Mike still 2 years is longer than a Grpahics card lasts in PC gaming world. Consoles do come down in price eventually. You can always import your games from Play-asia.com or similar and there are other things you can do.. cough. cough... I mean rent games.

Kal (Andrew) · #12 24-01-2008, 08:11 PM

yes, but you can buy the console + a couple of games as a christmas prezzy for the kids and no one will be the wiser as to who it is really for

Hi,

Don't mean to steal the thread, but, what games did you play Iceman?

Daniel...

leon · #14 24-01-2008, 09:00 PM

Glad this came up, as I didn't know either.

iceman (Mike) · #15 24-01-2008, 09:01 PM

A bit of everything.. In chronological order:
Quake 2, Quake 3, Counter-strike, RtCW, Enemy Territory (ET), Call of Duty (CoD).

But my main ones were Q2, RtCW and ET. The others were played on the side for fun.

kljucd1 (Daniel) · #16 24-01-2008, 09:03 PM

Hi,

Yeah Counter Strike is probably the best game they invented, but more recently I was playing EQII which is pretty fun.

I'll stick with good old "Command & Concquer Generals". I can handle that one,LOL

I don't play video games. They bore me instantly.

I was given a Nintendo console and Lylat Wars (the only game I've ever played) for my birthday about 3 years ago, but I only used it once. My kids do.

I have never played a game on a computer.

I can relate Ken. They bore me to tears. Contrived, programmed, nothing spontaneous about them. When you kind of know how they work it's even worse. Oh well - some find them fun.

I never play single player games, they don't interest me either (well, not for long).

Multiplayer games over the internet is what I played.

But I could never play the MMORPG games. I had to have a quick fix.
