How do you play with yourself?

[Identity X]

Ok, so the idea is to post screenshots of video games, but with you playing them, explaining what the game is, about your character or whatever, and what is going on in the picture: I'll start with a shot from one of my favourite games and an all-time classic, Civilization 2: This is after a long war with the Germans, British and the Aztecs. As you can see, I was pissed off. Coventry was a pig to conquer, and thus you see the cities FUCKCOVENTRY and Anticoventry. Also included in the screenshot are renamed conquered cities such as Assraped Empire and Fisted City, but what you can't see are my German possessions Head-On-Spike and HAHAHAHA!. A new civilisation has been made after the Aztecs were conquered, the purple Soiux. That's why they have such primitive units. Why not continue with that game I'm always prattling on about, Hengband? Since there is no restoring a game once you die, I have played as countless characters. This is my latest, Orkuruk the Half-Orc Cavalryman: I'm the @ and I've only explored a small portion of the 6th level of the first dungeon, the Yeek Cave. Soon to die are a Horse (q), Radiation Eye (e) and yellow jelly (which can't move, j). I am looking at the horse, and am also riding one, which you cannot see. Cavalry are a rather boring class; they have no spells and the Half-Orc race has boring skills. Also, your mount, who also participates in the fighting, steals much XP. This game is brilliant: Download it! If this thread picks up I'll post my vast world empire in Europa Universalis 2, and my once-crappy-now-Champions League Ukrainian team in Championship Manager. So, please, post your gaming experiences, I'm interested.

I am so glad this thread is about video games. *breathes a sigh of relief* I'm a little disappointed...

[•Neko•]

I'm a little disappointed... Hehe, so am I.

[NeAvO]

I'm a little disappointed... Why, do you use other means of entertaining one's self?

[lucidvegan]

I'm a little disappointed... Me too. I had a really imaginative post planned

In this picture you see Sander Cohen, a 'villain' in the game Bioshock, who you have to help out do some stuff, to get out of his palace. This is Geometry Wars, an insane game, with no story, just killing cubes and shit! Here is the exactly same, about 0.2 seconds later. Just detonated a smartbomb Forgot to mention, I'm the white C flying around, shooting golden bullets.

Why, do you use other means of entertaining one's self? I have many ways of entertaining myself...

[Oneironaught]

Identity X, those are some, interesting, city names you have there. I am so glad this thread is about video games. *breathes a sigh of relief* Me too.

Mine's 1.1 mil. 8)

I was really hoping this thread would be more rude. I'm the white C flying around, shooting golden bullets. That sounds a bit rude, in a surrealistic sort of way.

Nice title. My favourite game of the moment (due to current graphics card). Also it's free which is a nice bonus. It's called the N-game. Little bit of explanation in the captions, start in the bottom right. Also in the bottom left read the one about the wrong turning first and then I come back to revisit the same spot later where I finish.

I am easily entertained

[Identity X]

I am easily entertained Don't know the rules, which is terrible I know. MSHearts is my favourite of the Windows games... And Goldney I've played N before, I sucked at it... I was really hoping this thread would be more rude. Did you not see my great city Rectal Bleeding in the screenshot?

[Howie]

best thread title ever How do you play with yourself? Ha ha yaa! Thought sure moderating offences were at hand

[Alban]

Did you not see my great city Rectal Bleeding in the screenshot? OMG. I missed that one. Very rude indeed! A little too violent to be titillating tho, at least for me. I adore all of the Civs by the way. Had to wipe my hardrive recently tho so I have nothing to post right now.

as much as i love video games, this was one of the most dissapointing threads i've ever read.

Geometry wars eh? Nice, nice. I play that. Is that on 360? What's your highscore on there? Mine's 1.1 mil. 8) I'm on PC, and I don't have an Xbox360 controller, so it's a wee bit harder. My hi-score is currently 347k or something.

Look at my Avatar ... THAT was me being entertained ... bye bye, Glyphs

[Goldney]

And Goldney I've played N before, I sucked at it... You've just got to get past learning the controls (and configuring them to suit your preferences). In my opinion it is one of the finest platformers ever created. Here's some tips: 1. Get the download version from Metanet 2. Edit the controls 3. Be prepared to die a lot 4. Enjoy Seriously people this game is the shit. Get it! Did I mention it's free? And has an awesome level editor? As well as some cool control features on the level editor that involve flinging the ragdoll ninja (yes the main character is a ninja who loves gold) around using the mouse. Don't forget the huge fanbase which create some amazing levels. As well as unlockable colours for your ninja.

This is me playing one of the greatest pc rpg games ever made, Neverwinter Nights. I am the one at the bookshelf.. and I'm not sure but I believe that character is a druid.. hence my pet Dire Wolf, and the summoned Dire Spider behind me. A close up of another character of mine, named Terrek Fearshald. This is when I was playing Rome Total War and I tried to make a battle of 45,000+ troops in 8 different armies. My computer was not too pleased.. And lastly, playing CSS I tried to make a game of 39 bots and me. Yet another time my computer didn't have the fondest of feelings towards its user.

[NeAvO]

39 bots??? Are you mad sir? CS:S is a great game, I need to play it again somewhen.
