Easily the best downloadable full game released so far, on any system. Tons of unlockables, bunch of different modes, tons of characters and stages and 1080p remastered graphics....for only $15.

Oh, c'mon.  There's been plenty of PC games available for 'free' download for years now  icon_twisted



game does look nice though.  are those jubblies as jiggly as the jumongous ones in DOA?

Well it turns out that what was "cracked" was the AACS which is used by both HD-DVD AND Blu-Ray.

Clearly both are fucked then.  BACK TO LASERDISC.

VGA is actually one of the highest quality connections I believe.

I think he was referring to the washed out colour issue they were previously having with the fall update.  I think they may have fixed it, but I'm not definite.

Budget Totals
Old budget was $3747.36 billion
($2672.527 billion in spending, $1074.833 billion in tax expenditures and cuts).
New budget is $3280.57 billion
($2560.7 billion in spending, $719.87 billion in tax expenditures and cuts).

You have cut the deficit by $466.79 billion.
Your new deficit is $-65.78 billion.

I killed Corporate Tax Breaks, Afghanistan and Iraq and the 2001/2003 tax cuts and left everything else the same.

4. I can't think of a single game on the PS2 which supports 4 player same screen multiplayer.

We have 2.. Lights Camera and Pants, as well as Champions of Norrath.

IIRC the original PS2 only had 2 controller ports also, you had to buy the Multi-tap that would allow more controllers to be attached.  If you haven't alreadsy considered it I highly recommend the Logitech PS2 wireless controller.

Yeah, the CoD games excel at that.  Hell, the first CoD game had a mission that was essentially the equivalent of that classic Starcraft mission where you have to hold out against basically a horde of badguys for an extended period of time while waiting on reinforcements. 

Pretty much every CoD has had levels like that.  ATB, if you were to try a Call of Duty game, I'd suggest get CoD2 for the 360.  The 3rd one is OK, but the 2nd was better IMO.

GT crew pooped out tonight- not much success at all. We had some 2 on 2 for a bit.  USMCKato had internet problems and then we called it a night.  To be expected I guess on a night for a holiday weekend.

That said, I hooked up with a great group of guys and pretty much played with them for nearly 4 hrs.

Glad to see there aren't just jerks on Live.  thumbsup


Calvin didn't show again.  No more invites from me.  thumbsdown

Oh and it's 3:30. So. Tired.

You didn't send me an invite and I actually totally missed this thread. Had you sent me an invite last night I would have played frown Sorry mang.

Gah. We invite bombed you all night.

Haven't received a single invite to play since last week some time dude.

Either you're a very good liar or your a very bad one.  Or you're telling the truth and I am the liar.  Or we're both telling the truth and it's Ceekay's fault. Or something more sinister if there be such a thing.

I have no idea how it's possible that you didn't get invites Friday night.  It's unpossible. I invited you 4 or 5 times (icon_twisted) over the course of the evening myself.

Someone doesn't want you to play.  Cry havoc!

In Calvins defense when I was on Friday night I didn't notice I had your invites until I accidentally hit the guide button and saw the 2 of them in my inbox.  The whole XBL notification system seems wonky at times.

The game feels maybe a bit unpolished and unfocused, and it could have benefitted from a bit better storyline, but the graphics are good, the combat seems ok, and its Star Trek.

I read somewhere that alot of the story got cut in order to get the game out the door just like they did with KotOR2.

When the Silver Surfer appeared he was the Herald of Galactus (big guy who destroys and eats planets).  The Surfer would find planets for the big man, and that's why he showed up on earth.  IIRC him and the FF threw down before they convinced the Surfer genocide was bad, mmmkay?

I have mine horizontal. It also sits on an old textbook to allow all of the vents to breathe.  No idea if it makes a difference or not, but after 2 others died on me I prefer not to take any chances.

Heh, mine too.  actually it sits on top of a copy of 'Good Omens', and then on top of it is another book and then my DVD player.
