Hi! My name's Kyle, or FauxShot, or Faux, whichever you prefer to use. ^.^ I'm a student at Wabash College, and was referred to here by that no good Professor Abbott!

I decided to join the site after recently delving into some old school retro gaming. While my interest with all hobbies come and go, I thought this might be a good place to not only get some helpful information, but maybe even try to ground my interest a little bit more so it doesn't go quite as quickly. XD

I tend to 'collect' a lot of miscellaneous stuff (I suppose that comes with the grounds of being an aspiring history major? XD   and the latest just happened to be retro gaming items. I've acquired some stuff over the years, most of it recently, including...

NES

SNES

Gameboy Play it Loud!, Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance

Nintendo Gamecube

Sega Genesis (Not in my hands yet, but I'll be getting it soon XD  

Sega Saturn

Sega Dreamcast

Playstation 1

Xbox (Though I think it's broke...  

... You get the idea. XD

Anyways, I mulled about in a few forum topics, but I was wondering exactly how this site works? It looks like we vote on games to play, play it through, and discuss it?

Nice to meet you all, and happy gaming! ^.^

1. There's a "minimap" button in the interface which is quite helpful, but is turned off by default. Turn it on unless you hate minimaps.

2. Don't forget to lean! Can be good when you hear someone but don't want to expose yourself - though they can sometimes see you anyway.

3. Items you drop WILL stay around (except maybe broken weapons? Not sure the Hybrid shotguns stay). At the start of the game, storing stuff outside the elevator is a good place (later you will find a more obvious location). 

4. You can press the "?" key in the inventory view and click on any item for more info and amusing descriptions.

5. Bind some hypos to hotkeys, namely medical and anti-rad.

Feel free to add to this topic, and I may edit in more later.

A few suggestions from your friendly neighborhood moderator:

• Go at your own pace and post your comments in the appropriate threads.

• If you'd like to play with a group that stays together, you're welcome to come along with me. I plan to finish the game over a period of 2-3 weeks, which amounts to an hour of play a day with several days off mixed in. Speed up or slow down as your schedule requires. If you fall behind, it won't be hard to catch up at the pace we'll be going. 

• Feel free to open new topic threads to discuss anything that doesn't fit in an existing thread, (e.g. SS2's influence on other games, SS2's superiority/inferiority to the original System Shock, etc.).

Thanks for playing with us. Happy gaming!
