I've seen a lot of people asking what others are doing during the downtime.
Well I came across a throw back game and I'm loving it. It's a Strat Type game that reminds me of the old Civilization games and the old World of Warcraft games from many years ago.
I figured until FFXI comes around it would be nice to see FFXI players dominate another game out there :)
The game is called League of Legends ( you can google to get the url online )
I'm Yopop there , I play Ashe :) a Archer like Champ!
This is a Free to Play game
It reminds me of Warcraft's Frozen Throne

It's a [Tarutatu] trap! [Run away!]
As in it is a trap set up by [Tarutatu] not a trap for [Tarutatu] so [Run away!]
Unless you are a [Galka], then you can go [Over there.] Because it's definately not a [Tarutatu] trap.

is this an RTS game? if so I burnt out on them. C&C and Warcraft burnt me out a long time ago on these types.

i used to be mad into C&C red alert and tiberian sun,
red alert had those hacked 'nurple' maps which you could play 4player on heat.net. tiberian sun i still play from time to time, but its not at all what it used to be. all those good maps have been lost to time,

I've just been finishing off some games I've been neglecting. Finally got to finish off the new Kingdom Hearts Re: Coded and am now working on Pokemon Black. I've neglected so many games for FFXI XD
Oh, and I've also been on Second Life a lot doing fund raisers for the Japan relief effort. Made over $350 USD so far!

Ah, Tiberium Sun. Do you mean Red Alert 2? Liked that one the best out of the Red Alerts.
Let's go back even further >_>; Dune: Battle for Arrakis on Sega Genesis :Q (Still have it)
There's also starcraft 1, another all-time favorite.

My life ended when FFXI went down. T-T
Now all I do is watch 90s Fantasy TV Shows like Buffy, Angel, and Xena. When I get sick of being a lazy lump, I find myself doing what I never thought I would EVER willingly do: I work on school work BEFORE the night before its due.
FFXI going down has not only ended my life, it is making me more responsible...god dammit. XD

I had just enough memory for PSU and FFXI so I'm going to be playing that for a while, I can't play two games at once, gets a little fuzzy for me. ;(

90s tv is not responsibility. although i will admit to watching 80s cartoons.

Anyone playing Dragon Age 2? I am finding it too be a waste of money. to easy, not a lot of changes rather then mini map, spells changes & characters. I was expecting it to be a little more difficult or at least a somewhat challenge & not just nuke everything to death & take zero dmg.

Play it on Nightmare mode then, that's why there are difficulty levels.

my provider and i have been discussing ways to improve our bandwidth. lol. seriously they have a system where they dont shut you down or charge more they just cut back your speed when you over do your limit. we renegotiated the other day and doubled our bandwidth for the month for 7 dollars a month.
my old provider didnt limit at all but they were brain dead so that isnt much better.

I dunno, The fact that they still have DotA tourneys for cash prizes says something. Also it was just a Mod for WC3, didnt ruin the game in any way.

A Mod? I guess that's what some people call custom games. It ruined custom games, every other game was DoTA this, DoTA that, omgDoTA, DoTA is for fags. Seriously, the custom game's listing got ridiculous at times.

Yes it was a Map MOD, it also changed the gameplay. I would indeed call that a mod.

I was actually signing up for Second Life and tried it out but I don't think my laptop can handle the game properly. I was in the introduction phase and I managed to get up to the flying board introduction but then after that nothing really loaded for me and took forever to load so I just shut it down and gave up on it. I want to make money too...

Did that. Only helps a bit though. It is as if you increase the difficultly of the game & they also make you stronger to compensate for the tougher mobs. Oh well off to the next game. Any suggestions for PS3 or Xbox 360? would love to play something with FFXI players.
i am unable to play 95% of the games on PS as I have a MAC. Great computer just does not like alot of apps lol. But hey I still get to play Civilization ^^

I don't know what games you haven't played or if you're looking for single player or multi player experiences but.
For PS3:
Star Ocean The Last Hope International Edition (RPG)
Demon Souls (RPG)
Valkryia Chronicles (RPG/Advanced Wars RTS-ish)
White Knight Chronicles (RPG that has an online mode where you can use your custom character from the single player game in as well [level and all], the story isn't great and the voice acting is horrible but the online mode is pretty good, you can even build your own town)
Infamous (Hero/Anti-Hero Open World [city] game)
Metal Gear Solid 4 (Only if you've played the first 3 so you can fully appreciate this masterpiece)
For Xbox I suggest:
Red Dead Redemption and the Undead Nightmare Expansion
Need for Speed Hot Pursuit (best racing game in years if you ask me)
Bulletstorm (They don't make enough FPS games like this anymore)
Assassin's Creed Brotherhood (Most original multiplayer in years not to mention the spectacular storyline [though i suggest playing through the first 2 to catch up on the story if you haven't already])
Left 4 Dead 2 (If you really enjoy slaughtering mass amounts of zombies or would enjoy playing as a special zombie with unique abilities to kill human controlled survivors).
Splinter Cell Conviction (Stealth game, extremely polished and has multiplayer missions and modes)
I can list more if none of these interest you.

Yeah I have played a lot of those. Assassin's Creed is amazing series. I for some reason own all 3 on PS3 & 360 O.o. Not to mention bought the Comic Book (afraid to open it) White Knight Chronicles was great also but so long to complete. I forgot about Red Dead Redemption been meaning to try it heard nothing but good from it. Also have sacred 2 (the game that never ends) like 500 quests in the game i could not even tell you how many hours I have invested in it.
Star Ocean The Last Hope International Edition (RPG) - Is that a great game? I have heard & read very mixed reviews about it.
Thanks for the list, will definitely be trying some of these out while we are on break.
P.S. you play Assassin's Creed Brotherhood online still? I can jump on 360 & play anytime, would have to get my PS3 version back from friend but would be interested in hooking up ^^

Star Ocean's International Edition is fun but I most drawn to it since it had the option to switch to the Japanese voices with English subtitles. It is challenging to say the least, especially the blind side system, battle trophies (not the actual ps3 trophies, theres in game trophies for every character, a ton of them) and the bonus board system. The first boss is also ridiculous if you don't grind enough. You don't even get the ability to heal for awhile other than 1 or 2 random healing orb things that are like the save points.
Edit: I also heard mixed reviews about Star Ocean but, it's hardly expensive, it is worth trying out.
As for Assassin's Creed, I haven't played the online mode a lot, as at the time I had a huge stack of games that hadn't finished. I probably should play it some more. Anyway, my gamertag is the same as my profile name here (I use Zyeriis for everything) should you want to play.

A history of Star Ocean:
The First Departure: Played to where you get the wierd chick with the pokers.
The Second Story: When you get to the second town after the opening, I was level 110, stopped playing.
Till the End of Time: There was another?
The Last Hope: 360? [No thanks.](Yes I am aware it was on PS3 later.)

It is just a loop for internet activity. If you block it you ill not be able to play. Your choice of course. Is similar to Pary Poker, it also pops up as antivirus but it is just for ping.
