Seems to be a few gamers here. Anyone else have a doctors perscription to play them?
My platform is the PS3, favorite game is Fallout 3 GOTY.
Any other Fallout junkies?
Have been off & on with WoW since beta. Currently running Red Dead Redemption on the 360. No PS3 in the house.

yup ps3 here. Don't like fallout or any bethesda studios games, I've got MAG and transformers, GT: prolouge, uncharted 1 and 2, also have a 360 With a BUNCH of MP games gamertag is Brewtality81 for both systems.
360 and PS3 here, spend most of my gaming time on the 360 (CODMW2 or BFBC2). Rented it and liked it but I'm just hooked on the multiplayer shooters like GOW, COD, BFBC, etc. I really need to go out and pick a copy up as I spent a lot of time on oblivion and fallout seems to bring the gameplay closer to my taste.

PC all the way. Currently playing Mass Effect, Dead Space, GTA 4, and STALKER (blackford, you might like if you can get past the quirks)
I don't even know where my Xbox is...

I play on the 360 and play some Halo3 and ODST. I have tried the others but I get motion sickness after a while. [LOL]
PC only, consoles are dumbed down for children. Designers are subject to the same market pressure as movie studios who have to chase the juvenile demographic.
Nothing personal fellas, it's just that the thumb-stick interface is inferior to mouse-keyboard for run/shoot/turn/shoot games.
Of course the lack of standardization in PC hardware enabled the console mfrs to "win" the marketplace, no argument there. Driver update confusion and graphics-intensive titles just for the sake of graphics (no storyline, no gameplay, just explosions) are BS.

^^^All of this, and it's still worth the hassle!

I've considered getting the pc version of Fallout 3, but then I'd want a bigger monitor, updated graphics card, etc. That would cut into the ammo budget.

PC gamer here although I did just pick up a PS3 a little bit ago.
I mostly play first person shooters and the PC is hands down superior over any console for these. [Poke] Honestly I just can't aim for shhh with those damn console controllers and I end up wanting to throw the damn thing at my neighbors dog. [Shock] For my PC I've mostly been playing BFBC2 but I still play CoD4 every now and then. I'm impatiently waiting for Medal of Honor 2010 (http://www.co-ar15.com/forums/showthread.php?t=27037). About once every year or two I get an itch to play a good MMO. I almost got APB when it came out but decided to hold off. I've played City of Heroes in the past. I think that DC Universe Online (http://www.dcuniverseonline.com/) will be my next one.
I was missing fighting and racing games a bit so I picked up a PS3. Its pretty cool and nice to have but i'll always be a PC guy through and through. Watching Blu-ray movies on that thing is absolutely amazing though. For the PS3 I just picked up Dirt 2. I have UFC 2010, Super Street Fighter 4, and Mortal Kombat vs DC Universe.
PC. BF2, BFBC2 primarily.
it's just that the thumb-stick interface is inferior to mouse-keyboard for run/shoot/turn/shoot games.
This. I play PC games. I have a 360, PS3, and Wii, but only play stuff with the girlfriend there... Rock Band and Netflix Streaming are the most common things I run on the consoles.
G/f plays tons of WoW, but I don't care for it. She's a GM on Sen'jin realm. I did play EvE Online a few years ago. Fallout 3 was great, BFBC2 is fun, I still play Team Fortress 2 on occasion. My gaming hours have dropped off a lot in the last year or so.
There's a few BFBC2 players, if you see someone running around with a USAS-12 and C4 named m320, that's me.

I played WOW for the first year it was out.
Now I play Bit.Trip Beat on the Wii.

I'm a bit of a WoW geek myself, and I play on Silver Hand
I have a PS3 as well, but I'm kinda over console gaming. I like the interaction with other people with online games, and I like my PC for those.
I'm excited for the new Final Fantasy to come out next month!

If I got Fallout 3 GOTY for pc, could I play online with other people? I have character construction down to a science, might be fun to fight another character, only a couple 'monsters' level up with the player, it can get boring after a while.

Hey Blackford and other Fallout fans, someone made an acurate replica of the plasma rifle.

I am a recovering Diablo II addict. I've been clean for 5 years. I'm also very afraid of the new Star Craft. I can't be in the same room with it. I sure don't understand the attraction of WoW though. Seems like a lot of stupid errands you have to run. The graphics are kind of cool and the dwarfs driving around on the hogs (motorcycles) is funny.

Nice MAME upright cabinet. I had 1942 upright, but got rid of it when I moved to Florida.

It's at about 85% at the moment. When I got the cab it was all beat to shit and being used to hold an air conditioner in a window
