agreed. i ran the video game dept at Toys R Us for 4 years, and i oftentimes would sell a XBox to someone who originally wanted a PS2 or vice-versa, depending on what we had in stock. obviously, it depends on the circumstances and the customer, but it happens everyday.
sounds like they got a bad unit (or two). i have a PSP with no ghosting whatsoever, and i'm very prone to noticing it in LCDisplays. it has no dead pixels either. course, all of that is moot, since i'm selling the unfun POS. got me a DS Lite on Sunday, and i've been making out with it ever...
wow. i couldn't disagree with you more. by that logic, rather than waiting until their child is old enough to fully understand the themes presented in a violent or adult-oriented game, you're suggesting that parents simply discuss it with them and then let them have at it. 6-year-olds playing...
well, so long as you're playing on an original Xbox, you can get yourself one of those MagicBox XFPS things (they're like 20-25 bucks) and then you can give him your ass back. wait -- what?
i'm primarily a console/portable gamer, and i play/own all of the current systems. about the only one that i rarely touch is the PSP. my overall opinion is one of disappointment, which is frustrating because i really had high hopes for it. i have the 1.5 f/w, so i've gone thru the emulation/apps...
hehe... my lil' bro played thru Obliv on his 360, while i played on my PC. the 30fps he gets, coupled with the MUCH longer load times on the 360 are the only negatives i really notice between the two versions. the controls work quite well for the game, so it's a pretty graceful transition, i'd...
that's the most silly and baseless claim i've heard in AGES. thanks. PC gamers are considered to be some of the [H]ardest of the hardcore gamers. we often upgrade in order to play a single game. it's generally accepted that the type of gamer who's interested in games like Oblivion pays a good...
Silent Hill 1 & 2 were both extremely scary for me. the added sensation of constant sorrow or dread helped a lot too. (haven't played 3 yet, 4 wasn't as creepy as the first 2)
Resident Evil 1 & 2 were more "surprising" than scary, but they definitely had my heart thumping...
...and...
i'd love to know which post(s) you were referring to, as everything up until yours (that wasn't intended as a joke) was completely possible, and repeatable.
yeah, because it was past the 10 day return policy... or did you forget that YOU wrote that? i see you're playing it, and that's fine, but i don't believe for one second that you bought the game legitimately. i also don't care, so there's that.
heh, i was doing just the opposite. i hope that Blu-Ray sucks it -- long and slow, until HD-DVD is the winner, and not because i'm a choose-up-sides'er, as i do plan on owning a PS3.
i guess we cancel each other out! :D
from your telling of the incident, it doesn't seem like you waited 10 days to try the game. what store specifically did you get it from? can we have a tele number or e-mail? also, snap a pic of the scratch or scan the disc -- let's see what you're up against.
i use GameFly. it's not bad; i was used to having a Netflix account, and it's pretty similar. i've never tried another company, so i don't know how the others are, but GameFly has had every game that i've wanted to rent in-stock and they ship very fast.
in the past few years, using Netflix and...
NES: Super Mario Bros. 3, Mega Man, Hydlide
Genesis: Sonic the Hedgehog, Crusader of Centy, Shadowrun
Dreamcast: Bangai-O!
Nintendo 64: Super Mario 64
Playstation: Silent Hill
PS2: Silent Hill 2
Xbox: Halo 2
... and The Immortal.
yeah, i like my games to look like shit, too. i'm like you -- i turn down the graphics til' the game is barely distinguishable from an NES game, and then rock it.
oh no.. wait -- no one does that, because it's super retarded. only YOU do that.
replace "accidentally" with "repeatedly" and "fatass hairy man" with "sexy young female" and i completely agree.
i hope everyone using racial slurs on Live gets cancer. i really do.
i hope it's a lot. after the extreme hype-machine that was the PS2 ("at least 4" controller ports, web-surfing, printer, digital camera connections [Eye Toy doesn't count], "Toy Story-like graphics"), i kinda hope Sony gets what they have coming. MS may be the Hitler of the OS market, but...
i've been to E3 for the last 5 years. i'm not going this year, as they've discontinued their alumni program, and i'm no longer in the "electronics entertainment" industry. it's a shame, since the event's been absolutely ABYSMAL for the last 3 years - i've mainly been going in order to hang out...
i've read on a couple of the rumor blogs that Microsoft will be releasing a USB dongle to use wireless controllers on your PC. that's probably a ways off, so don't wait. it's just kind of a cool thought.
since you're not planning on overclocking, i think you'll get great temps using the pre-applied thermal grease on your CPU. it works great. some people will tell you to get AS5 for this reason or that, but if you never plan to OC, that stuff already on the heatsink will work just fine.
well, i'm running a 7900GT and i can play HL2 at 1680 with everything turned up, and i get 90+fps average (80+ on Lost Coast). Fear doesn't fare as well, and i have to turn down the effects. Far Cry is similar to HL2 at these resolutions. in Fear and Oblivion, i just cut the res down to...
just keep in mind that if you decide to add some UV later, the LEDs compete big time. you might also give some thought to the AC Ryans, or similar brands that are UV reactive, with inbuilt UV LEDs. those can be found in blue as well.
it doesn't come up under any of the games i tried (at least, not by default), and it doesn't show up under Windows or Nvidia's display tools. i can create a custom res. for it with Nvidia's stuff, but is it safe? i'm assuming if my monitor doesn't like it, it will just show "out of range" or...
well, hopefully you and i are on the same page when it comes to "clicky". my lil' bro has the G5, and i find it floppy or "mushy", if you will. it's a damn good mouse, but the ultra-light give of the main buttons doesn't suit me at all.
i use a Razer Diamondback, and i think it's an...
