I LOVE GAMES -- displaced persons center

Ah well, it's for the kids. Their standards are less exacting than mine.

You seem to say this at least once a week. I hope you never see Melton's photos of his collection!

Stevem you do get infinite lives. The drawback is you lose studs and studs mean prizes!!! Or at least gold bricks.

I love the cut scenes, they have made me smile more often than not!

Headsets ftw! Mine was only like £7, which is a small price to pay to yell "OMFG NOOB!" at people.
I've been playing multiplayer NWN2 with my brother using headsets over XFire. Fucking hilarious!
kit: "k just gonna barkskin us both and cast a few wards and then we can charge them"
kit's bro: "fuck that, i have loads of cure potions, LET'S AVE IT"
*someone casts slay living*
kit's bro: "OMFG RUN AWAY, I'M DOWN"
kit: "lolol i have death ward"
kit's bro: "fuck you"

Headset is also invaluable for re-establishing the crushed morale of the terrorist team on de_dust.
"srsly, just rush A and we'll win. NO STOPPING."

Headsets? Has anyone seen that add for Xbox (I think) where someone's eating crisps? Brilliant!

Ms Misery, try hard cos the minute he realises you like it too gone are the cuddles on the couch and evenings in front of the tv!

(Cheers nu_onimo!)

LOLOL. My fondest memory of playing CS:Sauce with Melton was him explaining ILX politics to Darramouss, which ended with Meltang yelling into his mic "... but i don't post on ile BECAUSE IT'S SHIT!"

this is craziness. the last game system I every owned was the nintendo with super mario bros. and duckhunt. what am I getting into?

yes, what Sega and the Simply Red dude failed to realise in their ads was that people had been 'playing together' already for years on PCs.

I usually mute everyone on public servers to save me time working out who is repeatedly shouting "fucking faggots!"

Why is multiplayer gaming so much better in theory than in practice? I like the idea of cooperative game..but all it does is invade my homes with new levels of social awkwardness.

Blasting my friends I'm ok with. It's blasting sweaty 35 year olds who have posters of Princess Leia on their walls which ends up making me fell dirty.

Loving this game. Better than Rome.

I also got a PSP recently and started GTA:VCS! It's pretty good! Not got very far yet. I should try actually playing games to completion...

Wot I AM playing on the DS instead is COOKING MAMA! It's so great! I have stalled in Partners in Time. I am at the bit where you have just finished fighting Mrs Thwomp, a battle which took me ONE HOUR AND TEN MINUTES of frustration, boredom and ANGER - I was nearly in TEARS! And it never EVER tells you the hit points of your opponent so you have no CLUE how close/far you might be!

And you know what happened after that? A wander into a volcano which took all of about 20 minutes... and now ANOTHER boss fight, with Adult Bowser and Baby Bowser! Just letting ONE of Bowsers attacks hit you reduces you to half life points and it just seems NOT WORTH IT! Let Peach suffer!So no wonder I like a simple cook-em-up game instead!

Have finished Gyakuten Saiban 2 :( *thumps chest*. Oh Phoenix! Oh Maya! Oh Edgeworth! Oh Pearls! Oh Mia! I love Phoenix Wright SO MUCH why oh why does it have to end??

I don't suppose any of you chaps would have a Japanese GBA rom of Gy4ku+3n 541b4n 3 by any chance? I simply CANNOT find one, but you need one to run the ongoing fan translation project. I am so desperate I am even willing to buy the actual GBA cart (it is best price so super cheapo anyway) but ARGHH how would THAT do me any good?! Anyone know how you get roms off the cartridges? What, we're in REALLY illegal terms here well tell me something I didn't know :(

I'm trying to decide between a Yoshi game and the new Castlevania.

You're OTM on unskippable cut scenes, especially when you're revisiting bits you've already done to collect minikits or whatever.

Using the flip thing in flying is invaluable but I agree the control is a bit clunky.

FFIII lets you quicksave at any time.

You're wrong. So wrong.

Today I bought:

GTA: Vice City - Disk so scratched it keeps skipping :(
Star Wars Battlefield II - WHAT'S GOING ON? WHY ARE THEY SHOOTING AT ME? AM I GOOD OR BAD? OOOOO LIGHT SABER...
The Warriors - Savage. Can anyone give me a clue how to spot the police? They are currently really pissing me off!

A) Canadian
B) affected, it seems

TOTTENHAM + DOWNING + MADURO is WIN

If your GTA game is skipping, it might be the PS2. That game is nostril-rape on a PS2's systems (also GTASA, if I remember correctly, and to a lesser degree, Bully)

Ah heh heh. You totally have to watch this clip, Aus comedy troupe Tripod... singing about their woman... and, well, you'll see the relevance to this thread:

I just realized that the Guardia Castle music from Chrono Trigger lifts its melody in that one section from "Theme from A Summer Place"! Who knew that the Yas wz a Percy Faith fan?

To kill time today, I downloaded Kyodai and have been playing Clicks all day long. click click click click click click click click
