What time is your normal stream time? If I'm not too late when I get your reply I will plant it in my phone. I can then watch as you two do things!?

I've been absorbed into the world of Dark Souls and I was also on holiday last week so I have had little time for other things.

Sorry I am going to reply to a few comments you made to my last comment a whole 20 DAYS AGO!!! Well I never said I ‘did not’ suck ¬_¬

I completely agree with your take on Hexen. It’s hard to explain but something about it just goes down hill as you play through it. I enjoyed my first time and completed it relatively quickly but have never come close to finishing it a second time. It doesn’t have the Doom ‘fun’ that Heretic had.

I still haven’t played Q2. I guess I’ve always been happy with SoA and DoE. Writing this I remember how good SoA really is. Without a doubt it contains some of the best Quake levels of all time. Plus a Boss that isn’t a bloody puzzle. Just you, your expertise and a behemoth with twin automatic rocket launchers! Tell me what is more epic than that and I’ll tell you you’ve never played Scourge of Armagon. It’s been too long since I last played Quake. I tried to before the holiday but now Dark Souls has taken my attention.

You make me think Death, how would you feel about Quake 4 if you ever tried it. Quake 2 was one of my favourite games ever and Quake 4 seemed to crap all over what made Quake 2 so good. You don’t have the same feeling for Quake 2 so it would not affect you the same. What about you Vork? Did playing Quake 4 constantly make you wish you were playing Quake 2 like it was for me?

It’s difficult to remember everything, but have you played Quake Wars Vork? I don’t think it’s a mystery that I hate it immensely. But I recently saw a video for Halo Wars, a top down RTS. How cool would it have been to have a Quake RTS, with factions including humans, demons and Strogg!? We could have pitted Armagon, the Dragon, the Makron, and Black Widow against each other in the ultimate battle of ultimate force! Such a wasted opportunity.

Thief is another game I tried not too long ago. I find the problem with Thief is that I really need to be in the mood for its slow, silent, dark gameplay. If I’m in the mood, the DP/MA two-part saga is without doubt the single greatest experience in all gaming history. However if I am not in the mood, it is unplayable. Thief will always be the only two game series that was completed by its sequel. I’ve played T3 and T4 and both are nowhere close to the first two and so don’t count.

I miss our long discussions about Thief and its characters. Maybe one day we can revisit it!

Quake 3 has a charm about it. The Quake 2 inspired levels are a bit too uninspired but the Quake inspired levels can be rated somewhere between gothic to damn right frightening. There was one level, you will probably know about this Vork, where there is a statue of Jesus coming out of the wall. In the room with the statue, seemingly coming from a large crack in the wall, is ancient singing ever minute or so. It scared my 10-year-old self to pieces and gave me a nightmare I remember vividly to this day. It was the only time a nightmare scared me enough to go crying to my parents room, still shaking from my pounding heartbeat. For that reason (among many others) Quake 3 Arena will always be special to me. Plus it’s single player on the harder difficulties is downright blood pumping fun. The rush to try and catch up to the top tier bots who seem to gain dozens of frags within minutes is unmatched in my opinion.

Before I played Her2 for the first (and only) time, the third-person aspect excited me. But then I also had ideas of it being an open world RPG (a combination of Quake and Skyrim). The fact that it was a poorly executed third-person Quake game really disappointed me.

The Her/Hex story is a fantastic one because it combines the typical not thrills/no plot story of most FPS games seen in that era with a very simple idea... There is a being in your world of unimaginable power. Kill it or you and everything you love will be destroyed forever.

About Strife, I haven’t played it. I had a quick look and the most I could find out about it was from Youtube videos. But all that told me it was a mod for Doom. Or a game based on Doom like Heretic. How does it compare to Heretic (assuming the two games are brothers as I seem to take in from what I saw).

When Death takes over the world I will use his computer to infect all the computers on Earth with a virus that forces the owners to fight a room of Shamblers with no weapons and no cover!!! I am most evil!!!
