I usually kill bats with my sword.

It's only legal to download the ROM if you already own the cartridge and even still that's a grey area. How is it that your DS couldn't play it? Isn't there a slot for old games on the bottom of the machine? The super old square carts would stick out a little but should still work same as the rectangular GBA carts.


As for myself I'm SUPER hooked on Team Fortress 2, I got the free version earlier this summer and picked up The Orange Box a while back so that I wouldn't have to deal with the limited backpack inventory. I much prefer this style of MP game over the glut of 'realistic' military shooters you can't escape from. Does anyone else play this or other Steam games?

I'm also hooked on Squadron TD. It's a Starcraft2 mod that pits two teams of 4 in a rather unique tower defense / economy type game. It's the top TD on BNet so there are always players available too.

On the retro side of the fence there was a major D&D Collector's pack recently released that included ALL Baldur's Gate games and expansions, same for Icewind Dale, and Planescape:Torment, and The Temple of Elemental Evil. I'm currently really enjoying ToEE being that it was the only one in the pack that I'd never had a chance to play back in the day, and considering that amount of gaming included in the pack... at $20 it's a super steal for anyone who enjoys classic fantasy RPG gaming.

And Minecraft (if only it didn't take my friend a week to reboot his server after it crashes :()

I looooove TF2. What's your favorite class?

I wish I had a computer that could run Steam stuff. I played TF2 at my buddies house for 12 hours straight once. I still suck. I loved/was better at TF1 for some reason. 2Fort heh heh...

I go Spy or Scout. I love the Scout speed. I'm an okay medic and engineer, but I'm not a hot sniper or soldier. Heavy is an interesting class. In some situations it's too easy and some you're better off switching classes.

I was under the impression that, like with songs/albums, if you own it on one medium (you bought the game), you can feel free to download the rom. It's a 'backup'. It's kind of a grey area. I truly don't believe you'd be at risk for downloading Visual Boy Advance and a rom or two. :D

I've been playing Advance Wars on my Visual Boy Advance. Going through the campaign for the third time so I can finish unlocking all the characters for other modes... Fun game, can't wait to try Advance Wars 2.

I just beat Legend of Zelda: Minish Cap ... much more fun than I had anticipated a Game Boy Zelda game could be.

Yes. Some weird things are stopping me from playing it right now, but in about a week I'll have a better computer that it'll hopefully work on. I'll be happy to play it then.

awesome we'll have to figure out how to get an MB clan or something going hahaha top class for me is by far and away PYRO! There's just something really satisfying with setting the entire other team on fire :D

I'm also a pretty solid medic - already got the million heals achievement after only starting in August. Then it's Heavy / Engineer / Soldier / Sniper in that order based on what the team needs or who the effective team players are in the match. I've never played Demo / Spy / Scout, I don't think there's even a full minute logged for all 3 of those classes combined in my profile haha (compared to like 50 hours as PYRO!!!)


MMMRRFFF RRRMMMFFFF!!!!!!!

I wish I could play TF2, but my computer is well... it's an E Machine. ='(

What's everyones name on steam? I'd love to play some TF2 with you guys sometime. I was extremely addicted to that game for a while, but i haven't played it for a good 3-4 months now and I think it's time i turned that around.

My name is: The League of Robots

Also, i just decided to buy a wii so I can play skyward sword.

Truth be told, Pyro is my favorite class as well. The competitive scene scoffs at him because he's not very good... but **** them, playing Pyro is fun as hell. Once you unlock the degreaser and the axtinguisher, it's game over.

You should definitely try out the scout! I think he's got the highest learning curve even though you're just popping people with your shotgun, because you have to learn how to navigate each map so that you're not approaching targets head-on (because you lose every time that way). The most effective scouts also have to be really twitchy, random and jumping all over the place, which is disconcerting when you're first starting out.

I'm very sorry to hear that. I'll pray for you

My steam tag is evanb333 (and it displays as Spaceman Spiff), feel free to add me everyone and anyone
