    Are you playing any "old school" games?

    I've been playing System Shock for the first time. :) For an old game, it really sucks you in. It's been absolutely great so far, and I'm loving every moment of it. Heck, I've even set aside God of War 2 for the time being because I'm really enjoying this game. I've also got System Shock 2...

    Telnet in Vista

    Personally, I find PuTTY to be far more robust than the telnet client included in Windows. Not sure whether it runs under Vista though.

    What games have you regretted buying?

    The most regrettable purchases I ever made was getting the 7th Guest and the 11th Hour on the PC, and Wolfenstein 3D on the SNES.

    One for the real old techies: putting a complete Windows 98 install on an external HD

    Or you take the long hard path and use DOS to do a minimal install. :) 1. Boot into DOS (using the Win98 setup CD selecting option 3) and create the primary DOS partition using FDISK. Then reboot. 2. Boot into DOS (selecting option 2 IIRC) and define your paths. You define the paths at...

    Game Music - Some Favs

    I usually listen to any of the Castlevania soundtracks that are composed by Michiru Yamane. The soundtrack to Shadow of the Colossus is excellent, too.

    Do you still have you old Consoles/Handhelds?

    I too hoard my old consoles and games. :) Thus far I've got a: Colecovision, Sega Master System, NES, SNES, Turbo Grafx-16, Gambecube, PS2, and an Xbox 360.

    Gamespy?

    I liked it when it was QuakeSpy. :) I stopped using it after it became bloated nagware. I used PingTool for a time before switching to All-Seeing-Eye. I gave up playing online years ago, so, like a few of the posters here, it's been nearly a decade since I've used it.

    Old games you would like to see remade.

    My opinion of course, but I don't think Doom 1 and 2 qualify. Doom has already been remade, and classic versions of Doom run flawlessly under Windows if you use one of the various source ports that are available.

    What was your First Console?

    My first console was a ColecoVision that I got right about the end of 1983, I think. Then I moved to a Sega Master System, NES, TurboFrafx-16, SNES, Gamecube, PS2, and finally an XBox 360. I still have all my older consoles, all in working condition. Well, except maybe the ColecoVision...

    A (maybe?) problem with my iPod

    You could view the iPod's HDD SMART data while in diagnostic mode to see whether you've got any bad blocks. You can get into diagnostic mode by hard reseting the iPod and pressing the center button + rewind while the Apple logo is being displayed. If you see any "Reallocs" in the SMART data...

    Your favorite Zelda game?

    Ocarina of time is my all time favorite Zelda game. It had a great storyline and was tons of fun to play. A Link to the Past comes in second. My least favorite was Zelda 2. Worst. Zelda. Game. Ever. Zelda 2 wasn't fun to play at all, it was tedious, mostly due the sheer amount of pesky...

    Old games you would like to see remade.

    I'd like to see the System Shock series games redone so that they run under XP. Well, part one at least. I've never played them unfortunately and I always hear great stuff about the series.

    God of War help

    The final boss didn't give me too much trouble. My only problem was with the damn game crashing everytime I came close to finishing him off. :)

    The "unlocking content" annoyance

    That's exactly how I feel. I just recently finished Castlevania: Curse of Darkness on the PS2. While the game was okay I was really hoping the soundtrack mode would've been unlocked upon defeating the final boss. Not so it seems, I have to beat every single boss all over again in some lame...

    God of War help

    The only way a normal game can be switched to easy is if you get killed repeatedly. After an "X" amount of player deaths (I haven't played GoW in a while) the game will give you the option of switching from normal difficulty to easy mode. AFAIK, there is no way to switch an easy mode game back...
