Though as with all things computer, your mileage may vary.

Thanks off to buy me a copy

Cool deal. I hope you enjoy it half as much as I have.

95.8 hours. Think that's the longest I've ever spent with one single game.

Which dongle do you have exactly? I bought one on eBay, and it works fine, but I had to follow a certain procedure to get it to work in Windows 7.

I mostly play games for the story, and after too many hours of watching Master Chief empty a clip in the general direction of some bad guys (without hitting any of them), and then slowly reloading his gun in their face while they beat him to a pulp, I reduce the difficult level just so I can see what happens next. That's all well and good until I go online, and provide cannon fodder for those who like a challenge.

I'm not saying games should be easy, just that they should provide the option, and they do. Tell me, is Legendary really too easy for you?

This seems like a good place to post this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yKIiUsbOO24

SNAAAKE!! NOOOO! How can you be so incompetent?

This thread needs more videos. QuakeLive is currently my favourite game. I keep coming back to it. It has a very high learning curve, it's very challenging, but it's so much fun.

Quake live is indeed fun. I hop on there every now and again when I'm bored to get my adrenaline fix It could be better though, the Mac version is a bit buggy, and still labeled as in "beta". That's a bit ridiculous considering it has been live for like 3 years, and it's sad that they never took the time to make the Mac version properly. Previous ID titles always had good Mac support.
