Unreal Tournament 2004. It's a cream dream. The deathmatch is still just a notch below quake 3, but the CTF and bombing run, let alone onslaught, are fantastic. The graphics are also astounding. The series was good with 2003, now it's great.

I have a TV, but have no time to watch it.

Maybe we should start "Dominions addicts" therapy.

being without a tv helps.

honestly though, the whole MP thing is the reason why I like this game so much, exactly because I don't have 5 hours at a time to blow. So I do MP games with a turn every day or every two days, which takes anything from 15 minutes to 30 minutes (ok occasionally longer, but only occasionally) because I don't have much time.

Im majorly hoping we can get Johan interested in adding some extensive AI routines to the game. Not because I care if its smarter since I dont do that well against it now. I just want the host processing to take longer.

Sometimes thats the only thing saving my life. I hit HOST and suddenly realize my bladder is about to burst, or that the sounds I was hearing wasnt the game but my stomach, or I realize I have to get up in 4 hours if I ever get around to going to sleep at all. And even then it doesnt help as much as it should because it hosts so fast on my machine that I think "I will just open the turn and take a quick look"
(B-A-A-A-D move!)

As for myself finding time, I'm jobhunting and taking care of my infant son, so I have too much time to play.

I split up my gaming by platform. The PC I use for strategy games, my PS2 I use for RPGs, and I use tabletops for 'cooperative' play (P&P RPGs). I actually sort of wish we didn't have cable where we are, because I'd get more stuff done that I need to get done...

Ah well.

Scott

Isn't it a bit hard to be Online without cable? If it's such a big problem, why not just switch to DSL?

Family and job and friends make finding time tough for me. Also, I should be doing a LOT of research, but I havent, and that sucks. I will probably have to quit Dom2 at some point because of this.
