Definitely fun times!  

And now we know who keeps killing gaming trend...

<stares at depward tml and rincewind>

Edit: Was a good time with papa smurf and knightshade this morning.  We were doing co-op territories with infinite respawns.  

I think we managed to get 377 kills on the last try.  Need to get a group of 4 or 5 going on those.

note to self:  stop watching oblivion movies... making the wait much less bearable.

Some more 'bah'... stuck working at the desk until midnite.  Then I have to be up around 7 to make sure everyone is out of the building.  So, no graw for me tonight.  

Unless I were to do something silly like stay up until 2am playing.

But of course I wouldn't do that.

Nah... that would be a bad idea... I need sleep.

Or do I?  

LOL!  Somehow I think ResLife would not be pleased with that type of 'work'  

 

Bah!  Sounds like you guys had fun last night.  I wanted to play, but had various obligations of the 'keep my paid room and board' variety to take care of.

wait wait wait.... how do you spell that again???

<stares at the screen intently>

 :lol:

Played some 4 player split-screen tonight.  Was okay.  Noticed a little bit of lag to the game.  Didn't try it online though.

Middle'ish of missouri.  Springfield.  Spend some time in Jefferson City and Columbia MO as well.

They would have to seriously screw it up for me not to buy it.  Moriarty and I have racked up innumerable hours playing the dynasty warriors series.

I've gotten 818k... but that was a while ago.  I haven't mustered up the motivation to play as often as needed to build up to that level of play again.

<blink blink> Blazing Angels??  crap.  have oblivion pre-ordered and dynasty warriors 5:empires pre-ordered.  don't have anything left to trade.

Hmm... this will bear thinking on.

<continues to fight the addiction> I mean really, it isn't like it's a majors class or something.  

Oh yeah.  It is.  


In all seriousness.  If I can make on, I'll be playing some tonight.  

<memo to me, add booner to the friends list>

Chaz: Definitely get in with some of the GT or OO people.  Everyone I've played with has been a blast <no pun> to have in the game.

We've been doing mostly co-op when I've been on, but I'm sure we can do some team stuff, especially if we have 8 people on like we did last night.

<mutters> I really want to play tonight... but I HAVE to get this paper done for tomorrow.

Edit: Coopasonic, join US!!!

Soulchilde:  Yeah thats the one drawback of the co-op side right now.  The variety is a little on the slim side.  

With 8 people we can probably do a little team play to break up the routine.  I'm going to try and figure out what map has the attack chopper on it so we can mess with that.  (besides I want the 100 choppers killed achievement)

So, does M often feel uncomfortable when playing online?

Thinking about it now and the kind of people I've played with, I think I've answered my own question.  She probably gets quite a few "OMG!  UR a GRL?" from gaming in text, but when that's said in a squeeky voice through your headset it might be enough to make you want to disconnect right there.
.

I probably chose the wrong word with 'uncomfortable'  more properly, she just doesn't have nearly as much, if any, fun with those kinds of people.

Edit: Booner: hmm... think I've neglected you on my friends list.  I'll fix that as soon as I finish this paper tonight... or during a 'break'  

TML:  Yeah I know exactly what you mean.  The UAV spoils the crap out of you if you aren't careful.

Was a blast playing with you guys!  Even when the grenades flew the wrong direction

Really appreciate people who can accept a female gamer without making her feel uncomfortable.

You too? Wow, we must live pretty close to eachother!

Springfield MO.  From what I heard last night we had 4 or 5 tornados touch down around the area.  I was hoping that the early morning classes might be cancelled, but no luck with that  :lol:

Nothing like being stuck in a hallway with 70odd people for an hour at a time at 1 in the morning  :wink:

Good thing that we stopped playing when we did tonight Turtle.  About 3 minutes later the tornado sirens cut loose here and we had to head down to the ground floor!

Had fun, even if I apparently forgot to take off the bullet magnet I was wearing.

Just wanted to say that we had a good time tonight playing some co-op with Sparhawk.  Good times.

good quality?  I would say 1...

I have equilibrium on my 512 stick, but that's at a lower quality.  Depending on your threshold I would think you could get 2 or 3.

Unplayable. The game goes from normal framerate to 'dear lord the world is running like you have a rapid fire pause button' to normal again with no warning or reason whatsoever.

In a game that requires perfect timing, you have none of that thanks to poor emulation issues.

Seconded.  Quickest way to lose any enjoyment in a superfast paced game like Ninja Gaiden is to have uneven framerates.

I've also reached a the first mission where I have to go alone at night, and I can't get past this one part.  It doesn't help that the cross comm is buggered in the mission and I have no other support assets.  Not to mention my current save I'm at red health.

There are jammer units by your targets in that one.  They can be hard to see through the interference though.  I found switching between using the night vision and having it off to be useful... it was much easier for me to track muzzle flashes without the night vision.

Had fun while I and Lynk could play.  Unfortunately we started getting booted and we not able to join the server again.  <shrug> I blame the campus network.

Haven't played any online yet .  Have had a lot of fun playing split-screen so far though.

I've blown my whole team up with a grenade once.  once.

So far only played co-op split-screen.  The first co-op campaign map is pretty fun.  We finally beat it after a number of tries.  I think I've been playing way too many games where you can take multiple hits before dying.  My cover reflex really needs some work.

Jarrodhk as my gamertag... hoping to be on some tonight.

Have my copy... later tonight will actually have time to mess with it.

co-op is why I'm picking it up!  

Late tomorrow...

After I'm done with everything...

<sigh>

It's going to be a long day.

Oh yeah.  Just made the connection that Oblivion comes out during my spring break.  Order some pizza... lay in some drinks... never leave the room.

Bah.  My local gamestop says the preorders will be in tomorrow.... may be time to go cruise Target/Best Buy/Walmart/EB...

Living in the middle of the country sucks sometimes  

Heh.  Was going to post this as well.  Saw you online, saw you were downloading from the marketplace so I knew something new was on  :lol:

Quick question:  I didn't see this answered the articles I've read.  Can you play the co-op split-screen?  Or is it only through live?

This makes a big difference in whether or not I get the game.

Just sent my 360 in to be repaired.  Now I REALLY want to play geometry wars.

Or Full Auto.

Bah.

Haven't heard anything about a specific patch for DOA4, however they did have the dashboard patch recently.  I seem to recall there being something in there about changing the way profiles were loaded and whether or not saves were overwritten.

I've been nailed by the bug twice now... haven't had any problems since the dashboard update though <crosses fingers>.  Also have made it a point to never ever change the first player controller profile while playing the game.  We're (friends and I) thinking that may have been the culprit the last time.

I really have much fun with the game.  Was playing some 2 on 1 versus tag this evening before having to work.  It's a very different experience having to adjust for not only the 2 different characters, but 2 different play styles.

I had zero interest in this title until I read the word 'co-op'.  I am now interested and will have to look into it a bit more.

Talked with SCEA and I'm sending the console in to them to be repaired.  I have to pay shipping to them but that is all.

Fun times.  I would be more upset if I didn't know several other people with PS2's.   Not to mention a PC with games and a 360.  


Oh well, could be worse.

Looked at the limited warranty... says 1 year defects in material and workmanship... refusing to read games in under 6 months seems to qualify to me.  Guess Sony's view on it is the important one though.

Hmm... that's not encouraging.  It should still be under warranty with Sony... got it in September.  Guess I'll be giving them a call tomorrow after classes.

So does anyone know if the PSTwo suffers the same calibration problems that the orginal PS2 did?

My PSTwo has decided that it only likes movie/tv DVDs and will not read any of the games I have.  Even a blue disc.  It will play music CD's though.

I'm confused now.  This is the reason I got a PsTwo to begin with.

Any help would be appreciated.

Edited to specify the problem is with a slimline.

Found out last night that although the beta is officially over, you can still download the last beta version to play.

Then I found out that I have no clue how to do well in this game.
