PC

I would to be able to so more PC gaming than I currently do, but the lack of a decent machine that has the capability of playing the games that I like hinders me. Although I should be getting the parts to build a fairly solid rig soon

Steam Community: http://steamcommunity.com/id/thechrisd
Use the Steam community, and the Steam friends feature if you want to contact me in-game for most games.

Xfire: http://www.xfire.com/profile/thechrisd/
Same as above, only it’s not based off of Steam. Still does the same thing, plus I run it from my main drive so you can still use it to chat with me even when my big external drive isn’t turned on

Games I Play

The Sims 2

Ah yes, the true life sandbox game
There’s not really much else to say for it, it’s self-explanatory by now. I own the base game and all expansion packs up to FreeTime. No stuff packs, they suck and aren’t worth the money.

Command and Conquer: The First Decade

I have been in love with the C&C franchise ever since I first got into it back with Red Alert 1. When TFD came out, I picked it up so that I could play those which I hadn’t bought, as well as those that I still had in CD format but didn’t have the CD-key written anywhere to be able to re-install them.

EVE Online

I sorta play EVE again now. By “sorta” I mean I pay the money and train my skills. That’s it. This computer can’t handle anything. I can’t open the ship fitting screen, I can’t go very far down my character sheet, I can’t open the market, view the starmap, or anything like that without crashing my computer with a BSOD. That and the DCU proxy. It’ll be a while before I can get back to playing properly and pissing people off in my Malediction

Worms World Party

It’s Worms. Do I need a better description?

Trackmania Nations Forever

It’s free, yes. But the most important part is - it runs on my piece of crap. Unfortunately, I’ve hit a brick wall with tracks that won’t unlock without a lot of gold medals… Until then I can still cheatily play them by setting up a local hot seat match and playing them that way

OpenTTD

Back on my old Windows 95 computer, I played Transport Tycoon Deluxe. Ever since moving on from that serious heap of junk, I forgot about it until I stumbled across OpenTTD. Like an addict back from going cold turkey, I’m hooked

Games I own but don’t play

Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare

I originally bought this during the last BYOPC to be able to play it in the tournament, but the machine I had borrowed couldn’t run it. And neither can this rig. So it’ll have to wait until I get my better rig before I can play, but once I do, I’ll be on it almost all the time. Gotta get to that 55, to at least be somewhere near my 360 level

Counter-Strike: Source

Once again, I can’t play this due to a low-powered machine. Well, actually I can play it on this machine, but any map that’s bigger than a low-detail, low-texture GunGame map, will cause me to lag heavily and suffer from an FPS of about 9 or 10. So I’ll wait until I get my better machine before I start playing again

Medal of Honor: Allied Assault

This was the very first FPS I played on the PC, about 4-5 years ago (when I temporarily had a computer to play it on). I enjoyed it back then and still do to this day (because it runs quite well on this comp), but it has lost a bit of popularity with the advent of CoD4. I’d still be interested in playing, if I ever decide to join a PC clan again.
