All Wikis? Dear god, now I'm definitely staying put! Thanks for giving me an excellent excuse to save some money for at least another year! ;-)

Funnily enough, when I found a working version of Doom about six or seven years ago, the only way I could get it to work was with no HUD whatsoever. I'll admit, it did make for a much more immersive experience not knowing how much health I had, or ammo, but I'm not sure I could do it for more recent titles!

Heh, all of the games on my desktop are "current" (the rest are stored away in folders). Unfortunately some of them have been current for a long time! The ones down the left are all games I haven't finished yet, most of which have annoyed me in some way so I put them down. But I intend to go back and finish them, when the mood takes me.

The rest are either Indie games in progress or old games I'm replaying. I'm of the school that a desktop is to be used (I use keyboard shortcuts for everything else), but I know that many serious users prefer their desktops clean and lean. To each their own, as always.

I'm a bit of a collector (ok, a lot of a collector) so I tend to count things. 1500 movies, 10,000 TV episodes, 25,000 MP3s, etc. I think it feeds the OCD in me! Sorry, it's a sickness. ;-)

Yep, love all games but I do find myself coming back to the classics. In the last twelve months I've played Quake, Doom, Chrome, Descent I & II, Hexen, StarCraft, Beyond Good & Evil, RTCW, Tie Fighter, Serious Sam FE and Carmageddon. And I'm giving serious consideration to giving System Shock 2 another go.

I swear, my friends are missing out, but it's almost impossible to persuade them to revisit these gems. Thank god for Black Mesa, so at least a friend of mind can experience HL-1 for the first time. I also got him to play a few levels of Doom 2 recently and I could see it taking hold. Maybe there's hope for him yet.
