I LOVE GAMES -- displaced persons center

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

Proof:

I cannot stop my brain/mind from designing a NEWER BETTER FASTER Genesis/Mega Drive and CD unit.

I didn't know jack shit about digital ANYTHING, really until about a month and a half ago.
Now:
How can I sleep without knowing what version of the 68k family I should be using in Enhanced mode?(68040 looks good...just looked now)
How much memory can each chip address in each mode?
What should the chips do in each mode?
What changes should be made on the CD end?
What VDP should be used? An existing design? Which one?
If a new design, what features should be added?
What about the sound unit? A new one is needed, but what needs to be done? Can an existing design be used? What patents are still held on X chip?

That's just the beginning. The easy part's the hard part(MIND??!!?!?):
I need to re-design these chips myself/with help.
FPGA. What chip/memory will be doing the re-programming of the gate array(s) to change modes?

Teaching english to people of two different ages, cultures, and native tongues, learning Chinese, and now designing computer actitechture.

This is one step beyond masocism. This is the brink of martyrdom...

Logged a shit ton of Wii hours this weekend with the boy. Nu-Zelda is amazing, the little surprises really make it (horse-back battle sequence that climaxes in duel on bridge over chasm, very Conor Smedley-esque melodic elements [HOOOWWWLLLL], walking on ceilings, etc). Also BOMB ARROWS. Hooray for fun!

BOO 2 YRS OF PLAYING WOW HAS RUINED THE CONTROL SCHEME FOR ME

"If it ain't b0rk3d, don't fix it" is obviously not their motto.

Still a great game, though.

'licious, I think you just sold me on the Wii.

STOP TALKING TO HIM.

I have no idea why someone would attack me for posting something ABOUT GAMES.
Don't care....THEN IGNORE IT.

Or go play baseball with a brick up your ass, I don't care.

In any case it's no cause to insult me.

basically, I've decided than people in this 'forum'(thread now) are by and large self-centered mongoloids who think sarcasm is the greatest form of humour, fail to understand what the proper use of an in-joke is, and still lack anything close to a true sense of irony.
As such, I could give a fuck about you, but it's too much of an effort.
I'll just spit back the attitude spit at OR handed to me. I just don't feel the need to stand on ceremony.

Nooooooooooooo!
