We've hit December, I'm up to my ankles in snow, and there is only 23ish shopping days left! Good news for most is that Team Arena and Alice just may make it to the stores in time for the holiday!

Camping in Counterstrike
Don't you just hate it when you're playing a game and people on the server accuse you of camping? Don't you find it annoying when people refuse to admit that camping is a skilled way to play? Unpack the tent because campers are going to sty. Check out this very popular and highly entertaining camping debate.
Games Too Long Nowadays?
While it may seem backwards, forum user ‘Acceptable_Risk' feels that many RPG games are just way too darn long. Some agree that after awhile these long games just get boring, while others think the longer the game, the better! What's your opinion?
What games Do You Want?
This forum pays tribute to the many games we should have seen under the Christmas tree this year, but instead have been pushed back to a 2001 and beyond release date. Ahh! And some of these were the games we REALLY wanted to see! Black & White, Tribes 2… the list goes on and on!
Your Eyesight & Gaming
While this seems to be an odd topic at first glance, many gamers have been discussing the topic of eyesight and if gaming can lead to a loss of eyesight. While we can't find any studies done on this, we sure have some rather interesting messages regarding this topic and other things that can lead to blindness….
Online Gaming & Firewall
One of the big annoyances I found with setting up a home LAN was getting the firewall configured for playing games online. This forum is all about gaming and firewalls, feel free to post your questions or add your own advice to others looking at gaming and firewall issues.
