I'm playing SiN Episodes Emergence, it's got this dynamic difficulty 
setting that makes it nearly impossible and very frustrating yet I can't 
stop trying to kill those chaingun guards.
Plus I go get lost in Oblivion for a few hours every day.

On-line, I'm playing Guild Wars.  The last online FPS I played was 
F.E.A.R., and not that much.
Unfortunately Quake 4 didn't hold my interest, it was fun to play 
through and I'd like to to give Q4Max more of a go, see what happens.

We're coming up on 10 years of Quake, we should have a party.

Playing a lot of Diablo II at the moment. Apart from that, not much in the 
way of games.

Online, It's still Threewave. I'm still waiting for Q4 to hit the
Bargin Bin up here.

Non Online would be Serious Sam 2! Gotta love the mayhem and carnage!

Got Quake 4 and King Kong for Christmas, but haven't had time to play more 
than Q4 since.  I've been having to deal with workmen (they're worst in the 
UK than anywhere else) who're trying to get away with skiving off on 
renovation of the house my 97-year-old Mum-in-law lived in until her death 
last November.  And so I finish my evenings these days, after going through 
the fake paperwork the 'foreman' produces trying to bump the job up, by 
playing Q4 and thinking of the workmen while fragging Strogg bastards!

You're quite right about a 10-year anniversary of Quake though.  Frag on, 
dude!

I don't play online anymore at all. Believe it or not, I still sometimes 
fire up Alliance and play a little rail n rune against bots.

still playing q3 online almost daily. i got q4, but the old rig needs
upgrading to run it properly. played the sp at low res, and found it
fun.
the number of q3 servers have diminished over the past 6 months
though. 

cheers.

I don't play online games at all any more.

I used to play Q3 for up to 14 hours at a sitting. I must have used up months of my life playing 
3wave, but just couldn't stop. Working away from home for a few months gave me an enforced break and 
when I got back I was a crap(pier) player and gave my vid card to my daughter for playing sims 2 and 
replaced my mouse with a shitty one to ensure I couldn't play it again.

Might sound sad to you guys still playing but really it was sucking the life out of me and upsetting 
the wife.

I might stop by sometime. I've never played Threewave online.

Trying to connect to this one - won't let me autodownload the map; fine, I 
google the map, download it, stick it in the right directory, restart Q3.

Stupid game still kicks me off because it can't autodownload the map.
WTF? The map's there!

Shitty conxn to the i-pipe'll do that for ya, too.  I was *so* anxious,
when I got me DSL, but... talk about disappointment.  Ping was... so-so,
as I recall, but lag was frikking *constant*.  No joy there, whatsoever.

Just finished CoD & CoD2, but don't play them online.

Just started Doom3; haven't tried deathmatch yet and so far I don't like the 
single-player since it's all in tiny, cramped corridors, not at all like the 
old Doom.  Plus it's too dark.

Waiting to play:
Quake4
Call of Cthulhu
Medal of Honor (haha, I know, waayyy behind on games)
Serious Sam 2

Need to re-install Q3!

Thanks :)

Sadly, I can't run Q3 any more anyway since my graphics card seems to have 
partially died (I can't run anything that uses 3D, since last night. :( )

Oblivion.  How you can play it and have time for anything else (real life?) 
is beyond me.
When I finally kick the habit, I'll probably give Dreamfall a try.

Online, I still mainly play Q2, although not since Oblivion.
