General Gaming Megathread: What are you playing?

COH was cool untill i tried to reinstall it on my new PC. I forget exactly how it went down, but it was a painful process to patch the game and re-aquire lost account details. In the end I was locked out of half a game I paid top dollar for.
 
I would be playing 'Sam & Max: Beyond Time & Space' if it wasn't for the stupid shit server error. It doesn't allow me to download the 'Ice Station Santa' episode. It simplysays: 'Server error: Http Status code 503'.
I call the PSN hotline and the only solution they come up with is: Sir, have you tried a wired connection?

NO! I haven't and I'm not going to. It's a fucking server problem you fucking dunce! What the hell does this has to do with trying a wired connection! Funny how they try to get rid of you as fast as possible instead of fixing your problem.
 
Or admitting that the server is down for maintenence. Calling support for almost anything is an excercise in futility.
 
Hey guys, can someone with access to the US PSN store tell me if they get the same error I get when they try to download the Sam & Max: Ice Station Santa demo?!

This is what I get:


HTTP Status Code: 503

Any sort of info would be much appreciated!


EDIT: Okay, the problem is now solved. I had to use a dynamic IP address with no port forwarding or anything similar. Quite odd. Don't know why this would give me a server error! Anyway, sorry for spamming and such.
 
Hit the Road is what got me into PC gaming. "Guns, Liquor, Baby Needs" I still have the box. (Lost the disc though)
 
Devils Playbox has the best enviroments, though that might be the upgraded lighting engine.

Playing Freelancer at the moment, great atmosphere (har har) with all the com chatter between ships and police craft scanning for drugs.
Yet to get far in the story but I'm not really minding the linearity of it like some people did when it was released, though the game was way overhyped.

Also just because you say "mate" does not make your bloody accent British, everyone sounds the same in this game.
 
Back to the topic, hmm...

Just started playing Arcanum. The game seems quite nice, but I certainly dislike some of the 'MAGICKA' aspects of the game, makes me go back to thinking of Diablo.

That's why I'm playing a soldier that runs around with a gun and a bow. :)
 
Yesterday I finished Sam & Max Season 1. Good lord...The Reality 2.0 was one of the sweetest thing I have seen in a while.

I think I am beginning to like the Sam & Max series more than the Fallout series! *caffeine rush*

Half Life 2 was the last "new" proper PC game I've played...way back in 2004. I can't help feel that I'm living in the past...

So I was replaying Mass Effect 2 and I encountered a certain anomaly on planet Neith (Amun system, Eagle Nebula). This single side mission triggered some other missions that happened to be much more interesting than any other mission in ME2.

Hmm...I still think the original Mass Effect was a much more enjoyable experience.

Really?
I thought that mission chain was quite tedious.
But it's better than majority of others, that is true.



Anyway, I've finally got The First Decade.
Patching it up, and the fun may begin.

You're right. I was kind of exaggerating the quality of the mission. But I was kind of excited because ME2 is quite linear for the most part. Also, the tone and atmosphere of that mission kind of reminded me of fallout since it was kind of mysterious.
 
Yeah, that true. It had a nice tone to the mission. Not sure if I'd call it Fallout though.
To bad there aren't more missions like that. I think there were a few in ME with similar "feel" to them, involving Rachni in some way, or they were just missions with MAKO exploration. Not really sure...

Generally, I hope there are more missions like that in ME3, because they really fit the setting perfectly.

I said that because it's a chain of events that takes place on 3 different planets and you unravel the so called "mystery" the further you progress.
