Title: Merry Christmas
Post by: lolfighter on December 19, 2003, 08:57:49 AM
Yeah, so I'll be going home to Germany, visiting my parents over the holidays. So I'll be decidedly less IRC active (read: I may pop in for a visit a few times a week), and I won't be playin' NS. Can't really be bothered to install Steam on their computer. I'll still be around, stalking the forums though, so you won't be going entirely lolfighter-less.
A merry christmas to you all here from my danish residence, I'll get back to you when I'm back in Germany.

Joyeux Noël! I had to say that like 5 times today because my French class had to go around to different classes singing Frosty the Snowman.

P.S. Merry Christmas everybody

I'll save the "merry christmas" from Germany for the 24th I think. Meanhwile, I'll just say that I arrived at home safely, mostly thanks to our patented nosno™ winters.

I got:
Radeon 9800 Pro
I forget the name of the sound card.....
Windows XP home upgrade
Rainbow Six 3 for XBox

that sounds good, but why would you, well anyone for that case, buy a FPS for a Console ? You just can't make good controls for a FPS using a Gamepad - the Keyboard and Mouse is just better.

I'm not really flaming you, just trying to whack some commen sense into your skull ;)

well, mouse and keyboard is definitely the best control setup for an FPS, but it's mainly because it's the quickest to learn.  Control pads actually work fine for FPS games, it's just got a steep learning curve so most PC gamers get turned off from it before they get a handle on it =3
Perfect Dark and Golden Eye were a great giggle and timesplitters 2 is pretty good.

Aaaanyways... ~giggles and hands fighter a jumper-shaped parcel~

Beacuse they got it to work on the XBox, using a new system.  Which is......
When you move your crossheir gets smaller
When you're still it gets bigger
When you look in scope it gets bigger
You preaty much auto hit anything in the crossheir

So that fixes the console problems, making a very cool game.
