I have never played the Quest for Glory games, although I would very much like to. Alas that Sierra doesn't make adventures anymore.I love the older games. There's just something about them and I really enjoy. It's too bad that you can hardly find most of them anymore, except for outrageously priced on eBay. Especially ones from the FMV craze.

I found Xisto though Xisto, actually. They referred it as an alternative to thier own hosting, for less technical stuff. Xisto I found though the directory free-webhosts.com.

Has anyone else here played Puzzle Inlay? It's one of my favorite puzzle games. The object is to fill in an object using a varity of shapes. I'd highly recommend downloading the demo. You can play for an hour, and can try any of the three avalible missions. Just be warned, this game is very addictive.

What, Michael? *blink* Adventure games, not RPGs... And thanks, rowita! I can't belive I forgot the Gabriel Knight series. Those are some very good games. Temujin is awesome. Despite the small screen size and the blurriness of the picture, it still is nice to look at. And the FMV is cool. There's another Southpeak which uses the same interactive video engine at Temujin, but I can't remember the exact name. I think it may be called Dark Side of the Moon, but I'm not sure. I haven't been able to find it. And I forgot to mention the Journeyman games. They are a series of older adventure games, also published by Sierra. I haven't played any of them yet, but they used to be quite well known. I'm trying to find the Trilogy to buy. There are also a good deal of free, online adventure games. One of the most well-known is The Mystery of Time and Space, which is a very fun flash adventure. The storyline is sketchy, but it has fun puzzles and humor.

I checked out the website, and it sounds interesting. Might sign up and see how it is. It's neat to find an online turn-based strategy. (My favorite strategy game is Heroes of Might and Magic 2, a very fun turn-based game.)

Well, Blizzard opened up a new US beta server, but it doesn't look like I got on that one, either. Bummer. And good luck to you, Froglok, in getting in on the European one. Has anyone else been reading the comic winners that are being released from the Blizzard Insider Comic Contest? For those of us who really want to be in the the beta, I thought this one says it perfectly.

I love Sci-Fi. Twilight Zone (the old 50's and 60's episodes) is my favorite show. Outer Limist is cool too. Like you, Zenchi, I like the more down to earth SF, even though I really enjoy Star Wars (which is really more fantasy than SF, but that's a discussion for another topic).One of my favorite science fiction movies is Gattaca, which, if you havn't heard of it, deals with the issue of reaching perfection based on gene manipulation and socieity's obsession with focusing on superficiality - in this case, whether someone was genetically manipulated or not. It's facinating for the issues it raises, but is also a very artistic movie. While the setting is in the future, almost everything you see echoes of the 50's, which combined with the cinamatographic style gives the movie a wonderful film noir feel. Highly recommended movie.Dark City, while not being very original, is also an interesting SF film. The style again is noir-esque, and highly enjoyable.Does anyone else know of any other noir SF films? I'd really like to know if ya do.As far as the theme goes in SF, my favorite is utopia/dystopia - the crown jewels being, of course, are the novels Fahrenheit 451, 1984, Utopia, and Brave New World. Political science fiction and fantasy is preferable for me than 'hard' sci-fi or sword-and-sorcery fantasy.I've read all of the Ender's Game quartet, but haven't read the Ender's Shadow trilogy yet. Almost finished reading Dune, which is better than I thought it would be.I haven't played many science fiction oriented games, because many I play could go either way between being SF or fantasy.And I read quite a few Star Wars comics (and especially love the Tales of the Jedi series), as well as Scion, which is more quasi-SF in a fantasyish setting.Anyways... Science fiction, wheeeee!

I'm sure everyone here's read Fahrenheit 451. (If you haven't, do so, it's one of the best books ever.) I read in one of Ray Bradbury's (the author) introductions that F451 was published in a book for high school lit students -- with the bad language censored out! If that's not ironic, I don't know what is.

I don't know about it being the worst film ever, but Absolon probably comes pretty close. It's about this furture society where humans have all caught a neurological disease and there's only one medicine, called Absolon, which will allow a person to live. It isn't a cure, just a 'putting-off-death' type thing. Anyways, there's one giant company that controls how this stuff is given out, basically making everyone a slave to this corperation, except scientist has discovered a permanent cure, but before he can distribute it, is mysteriously killed. And the movie just gets dumber after that. At least it was good to sit around and make fun of.

I hate that too. Arrgh.And melkon, that sounds funny... But yes, would probably get incredibly annoying repeatedly. I'd try it out of one of my own friends if I ever admitted to losing an argument, heh.

Okay, this list is going to sound very out of place, but here they are:1. Myst - Favorite, undoubtedly. This game is excellent. I don't even have to say anything about it. And to those who say it's just a glorified collection of puzzles, well, read the books. You'll find a much greater appreciation of the game.2. Grim Fandango - I wish LucasArts would start making adventure games again. The ones they have made are great, and this one is their best. Wonderful story, diffucult but not impossible puzzles, humor, and wonderfull characters.3. The Legend of the Prophet and the Assassin - Immersive. Period. Besides, there are very few adventure games set in the 13th century mideast. It's a shame it's as poorly known as it is.

Thanks! :Pj00 are nice indeed.

Wow. You have much Gmail. o.oI would like one too, please. Mostly for more space. Stupid current e-mail only gives me 5mb. I would also like a good one to use on my website so people can actually get though to me.E-mail: [deleted]

Would anyone like to help start a Runescape clan? I'd like to start one and want to know if there is any interest in one. My Current Stats Name: Tirahs Comabt: 59 Hitpoints: 48 Attack: 52 Strength: 50 Defense: 40 Prayer: 33 Would anyone like to start a clan with me? I'm usually on World 19, and am only F2P.

Heh heh... Yes, Wow does stand for World of Warcraft. And I was in the stress test, and, whoa. This is an awesome game. Gameplay's great, and even though I only got up to level 9 with my main character, I had a blast playing it. Graphics are quite good, and it's easy to manuver. The death system can be very annoying, but at least you don't lose any of your items. I tested out a Night Elf Druid (my main), a Tauren Warrior, a Human Mage, an Undead Warlock, and a Dwarf Paladin. For the few days that I was able to play it, it was amazing. Aso, even though it was a stress test, and the world I was playing in, there was hardly any lag for most of the time, which really suprised me.
