Game We Play NOW

So yeah I've been working on the new site design using the super duper secret development version of the website, and I was thinking of making the background very subtly incorporate the logos and symbols of the various games we play, or even including a list of the games we play as part of the background, similar to what they have on Multiplay's forums.

So it would be helpful if yarl could post what games you play with links to their logos or whatever, since I can't be arsed to think of them all. I've already made vectors for the obvious Source engine games, etc. so don't bother with them.

Lol cheers Calneon but maybe I should've put more emphasis on 'symbols' rather than logos :p The idea is to have simple vector symbols just floating around on the background, I'll see if I can find simpler versions though.

Oh I see. I'll have a look.

I think it's going to be hard to do what you want because few games have recognisable simple vector images you could use.

Well this is what I've made so far:

Not definite I'll use this idea though, might look weird having many differently styled symbols, I'll have to make them really subtle or something.

What about the Quake logo? Not many of us probably play it, but it's an awesome logo XD

Well the SC one can be like the one I posted but without SC.

Minecraft could be just a cube.

Quake Live logo would be awesome, even if it's a shit game in comparison to Q3. /hipster

That's not hipster, that's just fact :p

LoL, CoD4 - competitive
Most steam, might get SC2 , generals

Zero Hour / shockwave
:D

Good call on generals, I think all of us have played it at some point

By that logic tetris and pacman should be on there as we've all played them.

By that logic you should shut the fuck up.

XD, Just kidding <3

Haha win.

I think that should be our new logo.

Ok this is the list I've got so far to put down the left hand side on the background, shout if there's any I've missed:

Quote:

League of Legends
World of Warcraft
Counter-Strike: Source
Minecraft
Starcraft 2
Eve Online
Battlefield: Bad Company 2
Call of Duty 4
Modern Warfare 2
Call of Duty: Black Ops
Portal 2
Team Fortress 2
Left 4 Dead 2
Half Life 2
Killing Floor
Heroes of Newerth
Audiosurf
Command & Conquer: Generals
Total War
Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood

---

Also would you say that's in pretty good order of relevance? (it made sense to put the CODs together though).

Looks about right to me

Yeah looks good Chaz. Just one query, are we including SP games? Assassin's creed and HL2 are the only ones there that are only SP (though HL2 has DM). If we are including SP games, I think a lot more should be included, and if we aren't including them, I don't think those two should.

Well Brotherhood actually is multiplayer as well, and it seemed silly to leave out Half Life 2 when it's such a core game.

Oh I didn't know that, fair enough.

If you sort it by relevence, CSS, TF2, Killing Floor and HoN should be lower, and Generals should be higher (probs between CoD and BF)

You could also argue that WoW be above LoL but I think that would be too nitpicky.

It's only a background image, I don't think having them ranked in order of players is important. If some had to be more prominent than others though I would agree with LoL, WoW, CoD, and BF being the most played.

The first two, I'd agree with, but very few people play CoD and BF frequently enough. More people play Starcraft, Minecraft and EVE in both number and quantity of time.

this.

i would say in the last week since the amount of atk players that have re-subbed eve, I would even dare to say it could match wow or lol with its player base.

You're probably right, though might be worth putting the BF3 logo in there because I'm sure that will be popular when it gets released.

Ha yeah this is the reason why I've started to regret making this background, it's gonna need to be changed whenever a new game comes out we all play, the symbols as well as the text :s

It's not a huge deal, if you save the PSD you'll only have to update it like, once a year. When's the last time a game has come out that we all still play? I can't think of any that have been released in the last year.

Unfortunate, considering the current state of affairs in EVE.

Yep, people thinking that a new currency will change something in-game and staying in 2 systems shooting something pointlessly, that's a real game-breaking thing going on there :P
