If you want to mod your console get an XBox, the Cube is known for being unmoddable.
Games haven't been written like that since the Super.


THANKYOU FOR PLAYING

Nintendo Gaming / RE:Can the Ds "DASIY CHAIN" in Pictochat?
« on: December 03, 2004, 06:13:39 PM »
I won't believe it until I see it.   This is the kind of technology that is often talked about but rarely ever does it see real implementation (see: municipal WiFi).  Daisy chaining requires significantly more complex routing code on each DS.  Complexity == time + space == money.

Nirvana is one of those legendary bands which no one will ever forget. Its too bad Kurt Cobain had to kill himself

Now a days, the Foo Fighters, which consists of Dave Grohl (he was the drummer/vocalist in Nirvana) and they're kicking some ass right now, don't you agree?

Yeah, that was definitely the best GameCube game of all time.

For the longest time I have been bashing the Cube. Well, I finally realize that the Cube is a good system, and I'm picking one up tonight! I'm thinking of gettin' Metroid Prime as my free game, picking up the wavebird, and gettin' a memory card. I'm hopin' they have the Platinum Cube in, so it matches my GBA, but if not, I'm gettin' the black one so it fits in with my Xbox.

I'm also thinking of gettin' a 2nd game, which I'm thinking will be Madden 2003, since I'm a huge football fan (GO RAIDERS!). Any suggestions on some other good games? I'm going next weekend to rent some games to try before I buy.


Yeah dude, I HATE it when my consoles don't match.  Wow, that sure does suck.

As much as I would like to believe that Nintendo fans are this knowledgable group of gaming elite, i'm finding the opposite to be true.  I just don't get why some of these games don't sell on the GC.  Now, i'm barring obvious games like Hitman 2, Baldurs Gate and the like, in which Nintendo were given shoddy ports late.  But games that are released on all 3 consoles at the same time.  Like BG&E.  I know it didn't sell well on any of the 3, but why wouldn't we Nintendo fans embrace it?  It's just about as close to a Nintendo title as there is, yet we ignored it.  Hell, even F-zero didn't sell all that well.  Prince of persia, again what a typical Ninty fan supposedly likes.  And don't give me we know whats sh!t ands whats not.  Obviously, you don't.  And also don't give me the "First party titles are so good, they overshadow all 3rd party games."  Theres how many must have first party games released each year by Nintendo?  4? 5? And thats being generous.  Eternal Darkness deserved so much more than selling, what,  200k?  RE sold well, but Zero didn't.  The only games that have sold great, as expected , were probably Metroid Prime, WW, SMS, and SSMB:M.  There are many opinions on this, but I think we think we're the gaming elitists, the fore fathers of gaming.  Nintendo created all, and we will dismiss any game released thats deemed beneath us.  So before we bitch about losing 3rd parties, and even 2nd parties now, look at your library of games, and realize you're not open to try new types of games.  You can't be, because theres simply not enough exclusive content to make up your entire collection.  There must be some games that appeal to you other than Nintendos, right?  Or maybe PS2 fans are the real fans, and we are the little niche Nintendo market.  PS2 fans often buy what we consider crap, but back 15 years ago, without all these online and Mag. reviews, we had to buy what interested us, just by reading the box and the Nintendo Power pamphlet.  And we couldn't trade them in, they were ours forever.  That made you finish the game, actually experience the game to its fullest instead of trading it in in 2 weeks.  Some of the best games I bought were games I took a chance on, and WON me over.  Were they perfect?  Nope, some were even below average.  But I enjoyed the game anyway, because it wasnt so easy to dismiss.  You actually grew with the game.  Now, it appears the PS2 userbase has the right idea.  Buying games you want, no matter how crappy somebody else thinks they are, is being the real gamer, not the casual gamer.  Buying what you know is good, or will be good, and little else...well that sounds pretty damn casual to me.
I know this post is sh!t.

The Midway that I could always start a new sentence with.

"Hey how's it going?"
"The Midway"
"I.. see"
"3, 2, 1, RUSH."

Please tell me where I can find Paper Mario for $15


Not Rimmer? Not worth it.

Yeah man, this sucks, I can't play Eternal Darkness anymore cuz they're now non-exclusive.  Well, thats one investment down the drain.  I can only hope that the next nintendo game I buy will stick around.
