PLANETSIDE (free for a week)

[tyboogie]

hey guys. over at fileplanet theyre letting people download and play planetside free for 7 days. ( if you buy the game youll have to pay a monthly subscription for online play)

its a pretty rad game. Theres a lot of customization for your character. and theres alot of vehicles to control (based on credits you can certify yourself for certain vehicles). it takes a while to get into becasue its HUGE ( its a whole freakin planet!!) and its a bit different than most online FPS's. i wish i had more time in my life to really dive into it, but alas. still its very cool and worth checking out--ty


its like a sci-fi version of battlefield 1942--thats 100 times bigger and alot more rpg/customization elements.

it's persistent Tribes 2. If you loved that game, you'll feel dirty loving this one. it's like going from being happily married and content with a fair wife and then hooking up with a pornstar. everythng and M(o)(o)re.

It's time consuming, yes... because it's persistent, there is no round time or score limit, it's like an actual battlefield, except you don't have to march for miles and get shot at and eat crappy MRE's. but then again, that's what summer camp is for me... oh damn. To give you an idea, most fps's have a penalty of 30 seconds - you lose your special power for 30 seconds, or you're crippled for that amount of time... like with games that have stun grenades. but in PS, it's fifteen minutes. that fact alone sorta confirms that this game was, in fact, designed to take your time. and money. and social life...

now, why am i being so incredibly talkative? :chug: maybe because i just found a really, really cool use for the bathrom mirror: drinking with a friend. whoo... he's pretty hot.
