Worms was ok, but you couldn’t play it for more than a week max.

Starcraft had AMAZING CUTSCENES and COOL STORY but it was still base building.

i only played the first 9 Terran missions without cheats and got really bored.

Jagged Alliance 2 is UNBEATABLE! truly madly deeply incredible. by far the best game i’ve ever played.

i only wish i could find the CD!

V
yep u can say that again……he he….

K
My brand-spanking new Updated list:

5. Knights of the Old Republic - low on thrills, high on everything else. A huge, well-constructed RPG that looks and sounds awesome. There are SOME vague sequences, but is otherwise a polished and long lasting gem.

4. Jagged Alliance 2 : Yep, it’s still there.

3. Beyond Good and Evil: The best game no one’s playing. A wonderfully fresh and unique game that spans across multiple genres and manages to be better than the sum of its parts. Photography, Racing, a pretty heroine (who you control) and some plain ol’ kicking ass. Can’t get better.

2. Monkey Island 3 : as is this one

1. System Shock 2 : No one’s managed to dislodge this one…..yet.

Other notable mentions: No One Lives Forever 2, Pro Evolution Soccer 3

V
5. Warcraft III

4.Gran Tourismo 3 as well as 4 Prologue

3. Prince of Persia the sands of time

2.Beyond Good and Evil

1.Need For Speed Underground

L
I’m a big fan of sports games and sim so my list would be:

5.Brian Lara Cricket: the first cricket game with both left and right handed batsman

4.Need For Speed II SE

3.GTA 2 and Vice City (i like both)

2.Unreal Tournament

1.Need For Speed Underground

KNIGHT
L ,L poor baby why are u bragging about all those Hifi Games .Your Comp couldnt support UT2000.Our man is going whoopsie doopsie now.Wanna come one on one

V
porsche unleashed - i am a porsche fan and that game rocked

POP sands of time - Amazing…waaaaay better than matrix games.

GTA 3 & VC - best games i have ever played

Splinter cell series - jaw dropping

Call of Duty - very realistic and very intense…

C
Wow, you actually put Call of Duty ahead of GTA!!!

5.) Quake 3- Yeah its old but its pure FPS in all its glory.
4.) Need for speed underground- The best of its series.
3.) Starcraft- This game was way ahead of its time. Absolutely awesome.
2.) Half-life - Another old one but it was the most engaging game that I’ve played.
1.)Max payne 2 - This is one game where nearly everything came out right.Really engaging with a pretty good storyline.And the physics of the game are damn good.( I am surprised no one mentioned Max payne till now)

(Haven’t played too many of the latest games. Will play them and update the list.)

V
what?

no no no…

i just type what come first in my mind..
and i am still and always be a gta fan

KNIGHT
Dudes.who the hell forgot

1.BLOODRAYNE

2.COMMANDOS 3

3.Whatever games u guys KNOW

M
Bloodrayne? did you finish the game or something? i heard it wasn’t all that great.

K
Here are mine. You may not have heard of some of these, bu they’re the creme de la creme of games , in my opinion.

Being a ‘collector’ of old games, most of these are pretty old

5. Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers

This has to be THE BEST adventure/horror game ever. A really cool plot, some excellent writing and some fiendish puzzles make this the best adventure Ive played till now.

Its 15mb, downloadable from Kazaa Lite under the ‘verified’ section at www.k-lite.tk.

WARNING: Run ONLY under Pure Dos

4. Jagged Alliance 2:

If there was one game I could keep on playing, with the early rays of the sun the only indication of how long I have been, JA 2 would have to be it.

This is also downloadable, though its slightly bigger at around 650 mb…

3. No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy in H.A.R.M’s Way

One of the funniest games ever made, this is the only game in which the characters actually act in the cutscenes, a breath of fresh air from other games which have one 3d model bobbing its head at another 3d model ,with no expression on his/her/it’s face….

Great Graphics, some incredibly funny bosses, some outrageous levels (including one on a unicycle and another one where you jump off a plane)
and a groovy 60’s soundtrack. Two thumbs up(s)!
2. Monkey Island 3: The Curse of Monkey Island

If you haven’t heard of the Monkey Island series, go download Monkey Island 1 and 2 from some abandonware site (they’re both nominammly sized at 3 and 6 mb) and then we’ll talk…

MI: 3 comes in 2 cd’s (ask me if you want the game, Im willing to give the game in return for C&C: Generals, THPS 3, Freelancer or Never-Winter Nights)

1. System Shock 2

Awesome. Everything about the game is AWESOME. ’nuff said

The game can be d’loaded from The Underdogs, at www.the-underdogs.org and is pretty big at 250 mb…..

If anyone has this game, PM me…ok?

S
I’m sorry K but my opinion begs to differ. Except for N.O.L.F I think the others aren’t that good and I’m surprised you didn’t include Zelda.
Being a lover of strategy and RPG and adventure games, I’m extremely critical when it comes to graphics my top 5 are:

5. Unreal Tournament:
Selecting mainly for its ground breaking graphics this is one game you really can’t get tired of playing.

4. Worms World Party:
Though it may be a 2D game the sheer brilliance and creativity makes up for the graphics.

3. Warcraft III:
This game was three years in the making and all I can say is that every nano second was worth it. The boys at Blizzard Entertainment never fail to impress, this game will revolutionize PC gaming.

2. Legend Of Zelda - Ocarina Of Time:
This is one game which I believe needs no introduction. The versatility and extra ordinary gameplay speaks for itself. No adjective in the english dictionary describes this marvel.

1. Starcraft:
Dear ol’ Starcraft, I remember the times when I feigned illness just to bask in you rays of glory. The ultimate strategy game, I believe no PC gamer should live without playing this.

K
Have you played all the other games Ive mentioned? I think not.

and I suppose Ive mentioned its ‘my opinion’?

Zelda didnt make it thanks to its storyline. The same Goddess-Mana-Triforce crap Ive seen far too many times other RPG’s, most notably Squaresofts’

The graphics were not that good either. Having played other N64 roms, most notably Goldeneye, the textures in the game were kinda flat and uninteresting….

G
Up right now, is CS Source based on the HL2 engine I believe. I downloaded the large ISO only to find that i dint have the minimum requirements(i have only 128MB RAM).
Its 1.3GB installed, i think. Im not sure if the version I have works, but anyone wanna test it? Its got bots an all.

C
Yeah sure, i’ll try.As long as it’ll work on 256 MB RAM and a GeForce 2 64.
What are the minimum requirements anyway?

(Jus’ wondering, do you still have my red hat linux cd’s?)

G
Man, I am so sorry. Maybe I could give them to M and he hand them to you? Coz I dont go newhere nemore.

X
wtf…. did i see that right…. Blink…Blink… u dont go to zap nemore ?? why ?? wot happned??

G
Naah, dude. Got bored silly at that place.

M
yeah. i have to agree. boring when your comp’s faster than zap’s.

so i’ll prob take cs source from SH later.

S
If you’re a gamer who loves to think just like me you’ll adore Legend Of Zelda (N64 version). Its second only to the legendary Star Craft. Try downloading the emulator (Project 64) and the game from Kazaa. Its around 27 mb but its worth every byte.

K
After searching for months on ‘Rom’ sites, I found it on Kazaa! Downloading it right now….

K
btw, Is the game ‘Ocarina of Time’ or ‘Majora’s Mask’?

S
I’d say download Ocarina of Time rather than Majora’s Mask first because many levels are based on Ocarina of Time and plus Majora’s Mask is time based I’m not sure you’ll like it. But I finished both and both of them rool.

K
Im playing ‘Ocarina of Time’ right now. Its pretty good so far, though the story could’ve been better. The dungeons and bosses are really well thought out, though…

Im currently outside Hyrule Castle.

S
Are you still a kid or are you an adult? Which dungeon do you have to go to next?

K
Since I have no idea what you’re trying to ask, I pass. The question goes to the next team!

M
Zelda is a console action-adventure-puzzle solving game.

Starcraft is a PC strategy game.

how can Starcraft be second to Zelda? both are completely different!

i personally hate Zelda.

even though i haven’t played the game i’ll take a guess at what S means: he probably is asking what level your character is in. am i right?

KNIGHT
M’s always insticating on something or the other.I did’nt ask anyone to laugh or call it a joke.

N
its preety late you should have told this earlier.
and make ur self clear is it a joke or not????

KNIGHT
OKEY DOKEY.I will do that.

And M is a suicidal depressed kid.

PSP
Hey! BNy the way were you by any chance ragged by ur seniors at your university or at ur hostel?

N
sure he must have got ragged no doubt

KNIGHT
DUH!!, I was ragged alright,HAPPY NOW!!!.
It was weird cause they asked me to walk on tiptoes and flap my hands as if they were wings.I had a good dose that day.
But listen to this the worst was to this guy ,he was asked to sing “Summer of 69″.(Bryan Adams)
He first said he didnt know much of it.But these guys were so intent on ragging the guy that they preprepared the lyrics and gave it to him.
Cant forget it ,it was so funny.makes me laugh jus remembering his voice and the tune he sung.

N
in my collg they askes a us return guy to sing baba blacksheep in tamil and gave the tamil translation for it

M
that’s typical of your college. my college seniors are lame. we got so bored of their ragging that they stopped on their own within a week. the 3rd and 4th years are ok.

N
one guy of the 3rd year asked me to prove 1=-1 or he said that he would hit me
(this guy is 5 feet 5 inches,59 kgs no facial hair,combs his hair with 2 liters of oil every day)The problem is that i am 6 feet 1 inch 108 kgs king kong and cant even spell mats properly

So all i did was fall on him by mistake and from then he has never spoken to me

N
u r rite a second year girl tried to ragg me and i inturn started ragging her
so she called all the boys of the class to ragg me and i claimed to pay kabaddi for state and dat was the end of the matter

V
ah posting here after a long time…

i didnt get ragged much in college…i was only interogated a bit and the seniors werent that harsh…

well the girls were bad. i felt like ripping their breasts of and stuffing them up their arse.

X
we had our freshers party last week , and boy was there some ragging there. and guess what all the teachers were there and they did’nt even try to stop the seniors
And the advice us to report all ragging to them. hrumph!

but it was’nt any serious ragging it was just things like going up to a teacher and saluting them, sing a song ,dance ……….. and this one guy from my class had to swim on the floor.

And finally we ended the party with a massive food fight with people pretending samosas were grenades by biting on them and then throwing them…… dunno.gif and globs of icecream flying every where . I really pity the cleaning people.

N
we have the party next week ill get a full report on dat

M
i’m gonna buy a whole load of make up and go to college like a suicidal depressed goth kid. you know, unfocussed eyes, poems about death and pain and horrors in your backpack, a pen knife with congealed blood on your keychain, hair unkept.

that will ensure the seniors never come near you until they graduate.

C
Ummm M, save the money.I’m sure you’d look that way anyhow.

N
M dont do dat then ull have to write all their poems and letters and hair unkept will add to the ragging

KNIGHT
I do agree .M talks in a very HOLLOW VOICE.Pretty enough to scare the Raggies away.Plus or they would make him write self- poems about himself.
HAHAHAHAHAHAH

M
(damn got me there chetan.)

Dear Members,

If anyone found the above post even remotely funny, please write to m@yahoo.com and you will receive a free book titled ‘How to Recognize Humour’.

X
But you have to agree that

1) your hair is almost always unkept except when its not in some weird new hair do your trying out.

2) You write poems (it does’nt matter if its not about pain and death)

3) Most of the time your eyes are red (due to contacts but who cares)

4) you wear black t-shirts a lot with weird designs of blood and skulls.

So i think all these reasons qualify you for the suicidal depressed goth kid award.

N
Hey M were u ragged ???
or are u the suicidal depressed goth kid ??

KNIGHT
Guys since we stand at the threshold of collegedom(dumb).Plan your moves in advance and share it with Your Alternation members cause ” Its a WHOLE NEW WORLD”

N
it depends upon who is ragging u firstly boy or girl then the size of the boy the way he talks u know……….
a smaller fellow i wuld just call some guys n ask them to wack the small guy if the guy is big then i wuld make friends and just accept it
but dats not possible cause its hard to find a guy bigger than me in chennai

V
i am 6feet 3 inches and i am pretty strong and i dont shave much,..

that gives me a “bhai” look…so i will be pretty much safe.

KNIGHT
It wouldnt probably be a boy because the rag ratio is 99:1.I stand 5feet 10inches.Fine suppose the guy or in your case gal asks to perform an idiotic or embarassing feat what would be your immediate drastic action measure.Bashin up is entirely different but to alternation members it is to use BRAINVITA

V
i think the best option is to walk in straight with your chest up high and act as thought you visit the palce everyday…

and ignore the seniors

dont look scared.

give a “i want to kill someone” look

walk straight and dont look around

KNIGHT
Fine so lets put up with a bold outlook and look all ferocious and Bloodthirsty.

N
listen up its better to get ragged in collg ull get to know ur seniors but if u want an escape rout

1. ware simple clothes (no bright colours for ur shirt)
2.comb ur hair neatly n give the most innocent look
3.in caseu r called claim dat ur father is a very poor man an tell dat u have come in by merit
4.pretend to be very timid
5.act this way for a week or 2 then all will be fine

X
N that’s stupid. thats a sure-fire way to get ragged. the only way every thing will be fine after 2 weeks is that every senior in the place will rag you for the first two weeks and after that they’ll probably get bored and stop.

i guess that this stupid atupidity week’s really contagious.

or stupidity week is over and its ‘be smart and get your friends beaten up by seniors week’.

N
tell me spook if u were in collg and wanted to rag a jr who wuld u choose
a funky rich guy who has an attitude or a simple guy who knows nthing

L
X wouldn’t rag a junior.
the junior would rag him

N
HA HA Wat abt u L

L
ive had my fair share of ragging
Damn seniors
Hey theres a new nick now

N
OK man no probs L

PSP
Screw the female raggers and tear the mouth of the others.

X
where the heck did u get all that from?

so which one would u choose to go to N?

N
none my mate but first u killed L so u r my friend
anyway i got it from some crap guy who forwarded it to me

X
good to know that N.lets bug him if he comes back.
hey reply to that counterstrike thing on the lounge

N
dont worry as long as i am alive i will bug L
and the avatar i got it from some arson joke page

L
hey no fair. i don’t need two losers buggin me. and unfortunately im still alive. but i come in peace (thanks to K). So X your prayers have been answered. I’m forced to get off your back.

N
Unfortunately hes got it wrong its 1 loser bugging 2 inteligentguys(X n N)

Velammalians response:

So here’s a true blue Velammalian’s responses (actually it should
be “truly black and blue”) to lucky fellow “foocher ingineers” in
SVCE and Satyabhama.
Let us deal the point with point (pardon me if the Principoll
influence is showing in my’s English)

1. The Equation Game
SVCEiite says: SVCE = (Sathyabama) x (Sathyabama)
Satyabamiite says:SVCE = ( Sathyabama(n-1)*n + e^ eta + 365*24)^(1/7)

Velamalian learns only one equation: Fine theta = (Cos theta)
^infinity, even when Sin theta is small.
Which means: Even if the sin/mistake committed is very small, lots of
cos/money will be collected as fine amount. This is the lesson that
is mercilessly thrashed into the heads of VEC students for four
years.

2. College Bus
SVCEiite says: U r not supposed to go to Bus stop before 4.10 or else
100 Rs fine
Satyabamiite: You are not supposed to come to the bus stop before
7:00 a.m, if you violate the rule and you are a guy you walk all the
way to the college.

Velamalian’s cry: Forget picha kaas like 100 rubees fine etc…VEC
always believes in squeezing maximum out of the students pants (oops,
no double meaning, I meant money in the wallet in the pant). Has
anyone heard of 10,000 rubees annual bus fees anywhere else? The
cost of 4 years bus fees in VEC will thus be about 40-45,000 for
which amount one can buy a new bike itself, and not worry about
stupid bus rules. Rules like don’t talk, don’t sing, don’t dance,
don’t-move-your-head-even-one-centimetre-towards-girls-direction etc
etc. Even here, the rules were established because Sairman saw a lot
of bus-stop & inside-bus-love-developing cinemas when he was young,
and it affected him “mendally”.

3. Absenteeism
SVCEiite: If u absent for all theory class HOD is empowered to fine
100 Rs
Satyabhamiite: Absent, utter this word to a Sathyabama guy and he
will give you the same reaction that a grad student will give you
when you say “JOBS”

Velammalian’s ordeal: If you “punk” a class, then you are marked
absent for half a day. Like that like that it will add to 3 days
leave amounting to 500 rubees fine. Also getting leave letter
sanction involves great deeds of physical stamina like running to
class teacher cabin for sign, then to HOD for sign, waiting there
endlessly as he/she finishes “more important priorities”, then to
administrative bloc which is 1/2 kilometre away, them rejecting it,
going to Principoll, Sairman etc and explaining to them that letter
is genuine, MC is from a “real doctor”, that father sigature was put
by father only and not by me, and THEN submitting to office, and
running back to class teacher and informing them, and finally back to
class, by the time which more than half a day is over, and you are
marked absent for those periods again. Thus the cyclic process
continues till you drop to your knees in despair and
squeal, “Please - I will pay the fine” Words that are music to the
Sairman’s ears!

4. Roaming Charges
SVCEiite: No gossiping around mandapam and no walking over lawns.
Satyabhamiite: Jeppiar had a lot of foresight when it comes to this.
No auditoriums, no mandapams, no trees

Velammalian’s plight: If you are seen moving in “croops”, or spotted
within 10 feet vicinity of opposite sex, the SPY in that area
jurisdiction will swoop down on you like an eagle, pick you up, and
ruthlessly drop you at the feet of the Sairman, and then telegram
will go to your house, mother will have heart attack seeing telegram
thinking some distant relative died, and parents will be called to be
warned about their ward’s “misdemeanour” and “acts leading to
character assasination”

5. Canteen
SVCEiite: Canteen Rates.. Meals: 20, Puff=6, Tea=3,Coffee= 6, Vadai =
5, Vegetable Pulav = 15, Curd Rice = 12
Satyabhamiite: No canteen, the Jeppiaar the provide the food

Velammalian’s loose motion: When you buy cellphone or some other
product, there will always be hidden charges in it. Like that in VEC
also. Canteen rates are pretty much same as in SVCE, but the canteen
is strategically positioned about 1/2 kilometre away from classrooms
(esp those on third floor!) which is 5 minutes walk on empty stomach
and 7 minutes on full stomach. And the time given for the break is 10
minutes! So that way a lady constable is placed to arrest
students “arriving late to class” after break. According to Velammal
rule book, students are expected to be in their classrooms atleast 2
minutes before class commences. So dig this:
Break Duration = 10 minutes
Duration of previous hour class extending into break = 3 minutes
Time to be back in class: 2 minutes before
Time remaining = 10 - 3 - 2 = 5 minutes

And within this time, you have to fit in…….
Travel time to canteen = 5 minutes
Return time = 7 minutes
So what about eating time, latrine time etc?

So even if VEC student wants to go to “urgent bathroom” he must keep
an empty bottle with him/her always.

6. Arrears
SVCEiite: Bring parents if u have more than 3 arrears
Satyabhamiite: Bring parents if you have more than 3 hairs on your
face

Velammalian: Bring parents if you HAVE PARENTS!!!

7. Cycle Test
SVCEiite: Periodic report cards after CAT
Sathyabama: How about having 3 arrears in these CAT’s and bring your
parents for that. How about having to pay an amount equivalent to the
exam fee as fine?

Velammalian’s lament: How about failing in cycle test&model exam, but
scoring centum in university exam, and STILL having to pay failed
fine in the NEXT semester? How’s that, huh? Huh?

8. Walkman
SVCEiite: No walkman in coll and bus
Satyabhamiite: This is probably closest you are to Sathyabama

Velammalian’s wrath: DAI DAI VAYATHERICHALE KELAPPAADHEENGADAA!!
Kazhuva kooda thanni illaadha oorule kulikka thanni kettanaam
oruthan!!!

9. Other college OD
SVCEiite: If u wanna go to other college culturals no O.D
Satyabhamiite: We are probably better in this area

Velammalian’s tears: Not only is OD not sanctioned, but one has to
additionally listen to Principoll’s enlightening discourse on how
other college culture will not match Velammal culture(!!) Non-
academic cultural posters will go directly from Princi room to
dustbin. Only students with aggregate more than 95% in all semesters
and not less than 100% attendance can go to seminars and paper
presentations. That way he will be marked absent even for OD and
fined for absenteeism.

These are only replies to comments by friends of SVCE and Satyabhama.
To talk about the infinite other atrocities in VEC will require me
typing at 100 w.p.m continuously for the rest of my life. And my
fingers are aching already. So I’ll stop here. You go back and get
ready to become a foocher injineer and a winner. Becos winners…
