Re: Ironworks Forum
Time goes by too fast. Or maybe I just don't have as much spare time than when I was younger. These days I'm happy when I get one evening to just sit down and relax.
I have just reinstalled Icewind Dale 1. Haven't played it in many years. But of course I have Guild Wars 2 I'm "playing" too. (I wish I had the time!)

I returned to Jagged Alliance 2 for now. The community developed a very good mod for the game. It's very difficult, but it's turn-based. So I can sit there and drink a cup ot tea (or more .... ) You're right : Time goes by too fast. Unbelievable. I remember I bought a C64 and Ultima II in the year 1983. Maybe I should celebrate my 30th anniversary of gaming next year . |

Re: Ironworks Forum
I started on a Commodore64 with Bard's Tale. I had plenty of games before that, of course, but they were pretty forgettable...except for The Standing Stones and text-only games like Zork I - III, Enchanter, and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

Re: Ironworks Forum
Yes, or Leather Goddesses of Phobos. That game was pure hell. I never finished it. My english wasn't good enough, even with dictionary. Especially humor is sometimes hard to understand .
Oh man, I should return to the present now and stop living in the past. |

Re: Ironworks Forum
I was perhaps 12 or 13 when I got that game, which I managed to successfully hide from my mother.

Re: Ironworks Forum
I know the feeling. I flit in and out of this place so sporadically. I'm not sure who actually remembers my days of heavy posting. I think it's a bit of a catch 22. I remember a time when I could post, check back in about 30 seconds and know that someone would have replied. Conversation just flowed pretty well. Then, as it got quieter, people replied less and less, so I checked back less and less. Kinda perpetuated itself really. Which is a massive shame as I used to love this place. I haven't ventured out of General Discussion in a long time though. I never really used the gaming forums except for the BG one. Which is what drew me to IW in the first place.

Re: Ironworks Forum
Weirdly enough I play games less and less now. The last thing I played was a stint on Lost Odyssey about a month ago. They just rarely grip me as much any more. The last thing I was REAAALLY in to was Mass Effect 3. Which I was REALLY in to.
I'm pretty sure it's because most of my free time lately has been taken in with my desire to watch all 18 seasons of Stargate back to back. I bloody love Stargate.

Re: Ironworks Forum
Awesome on the Stargate B! I'm in the same boat gaming wise, just no real time. My children are at the fun age of let's go do stuff and who am I to deny them quality time??

Re: Ironworks Forum
I just got to series 8 in my marathon and have found corrupted (or more likely incomplete) files! DISASTER. Now to acquire moar sg-1.
Games I will return to the console for: Dishonoured (providing it doesn't make me sick-as-a-dog like mirrors edge did) and Watch Dogs (Which looks OMAZING).
