True story, I had checked out the pages and was immediately turned off by what I saw. It was just a dead community, a horrible format, and a place I just didn't feel I would enjoy. Funny that a year later I decided to join because of the great efforts of Raadec and Toxic.

Vork, you haven't even played Thief, so you probably don't even know what I can find enjoyable about that game! The exploration has to be VERY impressive to be comparable to Thief 2, you would be better off comparing it to something like Unreal or Doom than trying to go for the ultimate example. Puzzles...puzzles... what have I said I hated for the past few months? I like challenges, I hate puzzles.

I wonder how I will know where the secret levels are this time. Right now I kinda luck out, if I find all the secrets I can assume I haven't missed the secret level. Without a secret tally I may be out of luck. Of course, I did it for Unreal.

Raadec, how would you compare Hexen to Unreal? Vork keeps saying things that bring Unreal to my mind and I hope it is as true as it sounds.

Don't worry, I bought the expansion as well when I bought the original. Sad how long ago that was...

So Raadec was incorrect when he said I had learned nothing for the entirety of the original game? xD! I don't know, Maulotaurs still make me panic quite a bit.

That...That is just awesome Vork! Nobody said finding these references was easy!

I only played the multiplayer portion of Black Ops. It was entertaining for a limited time, but you are right when you say chips. They go stale quick, the fun factor goes by rather quickly, and you feel yourself having to hunt for another FPS. Probably the multiplayer was fun because it was multiplayer, something I can't really experience well with these old games (well, I could with Quake, but it seems only Raadec can join). I couldn't play COD continuously like I could Thief, but I could play COD with a group of people (so don't apologize Domo).

I have heard of Dark Souls, never touched it. It was an amazing thing for me to touch Morrowind as that was in 2003. That is the newest thing I have touched in the last year. New FPS games to me is anything made after the closing of LGS in 2000. That was the end of an era for me, the end of the golden years and the start of the modern style.

I will give Hexen 1 a go and see how I do at the puzzles. You probably will have a bunch of time either laughing at me failing to figure it out or boredom from watching me trying to figure something out for 5 hours (and now you could see that was no exaggeration!). Not only do I dislike puzzles, I stink at them. If it is a riddle, I am especially doomed. Please don't tell me Hexen II is The Mages Area hard (of course, nobody but me would know about that FM, but trust me when I say it is a nightmare).

xD, thank goodness you guys don't know how to make a monster or design a FM. Speaking of which, I know I could create a FM for Heretic as it is the same as the Doom engine which has editors that are very similar to those for the Build engine. As for enemies, I forget how exactly to manage it, but I think I have the general idea. I could tell you exactly if it was Thief or Unreal.

I thank you for doing it and interesting me enough to join the community! Heh, I would have missed out on a lot otherwise.

Actually, forget what I said earlier Domo. I can't forgive you for liking BF3 if it is like the first game, Codename Eagle. That game broke at some point and I was unable to find the guy I was supposed to escort. Maybe it was a side effect of my character getting whiplash from dragging a plane up a mountain (you are supposed to fly up a mountain, but I am terrible at flight simulators...)
