almost all the tapes i own are either music video compilations from bands that haven't (or never will) been released on any other media, ever; or personal recordings.

besides, i don't even own a standalone DVD player.  : \

aw crud - i just got rid of Hitman 2.  : /

i really* do want to play this game, but it tends to crash on my computer randomly when entering buildings.   i've done all of the 'suggested fixes' on the official website (except 'roll back your video driver to a much earlier version' - yeeeeah, sure thing) - nothing worked.

to Seattle (i live very close to downtown):

Download Speed: 533 kbps (66.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 210 kbps (26.3 KB/sec transfer rate)

i have never ever gotten blazing DSL transfer speeds anywhere that i've lived.  : /

no Vulture??

plotwise, i *hate how they wrapped it up at the end of the first game, then made a somewhat plausible excuse for a sequel - then when it really should have ended there, kept going with two more titles.  bleh.

nice ad choice! i signed up with them.  still trying to find something to spend my points on, but i like the idea.

the local college radio stations are all i listen to.

Rob Zombie just turned 40 in January...

he whole controversy on whether the next wave of DVD drives might not work with non-OEM computers has me a bit concerned,

where can i read more about this??

looking for something to practice console repair skills on.  if you have something that fits the above, let me know.

i think i'll also accept PS1s, Saturns, 3D0s or N64s...or older!

+1 to JasonConan - my comicbook-based game for his dungeons&dragons-based game.  it's like it's still the '80s or something.

is it the XBox normal version and PC CE version that's selling for $44.99?  i can't tell from that ad.

Smackdown vs RAW 'loading' video

even skipping past the cut-scenes... almost 6 1/2 minutes!

+1 to fafhrd for the PIFF

[CeeKay]

+1 to CeeKay for the trade.

[jasonconan]

+1 to jasonconan for the quick shipment.

got it working with both analog sticks on my XBox controller (the original huge one, with a standard USB adapter and the XBCD driver) - it took forever to figure out how to get the right one working.  but it happened, and the control is really great.  it does help a lot to stay alive longer.

HOLY HECK THIS IS RAD

a V551 has very similar functionality to the RAZR - you can just upload the MP3s via Bluetooth.

add Ur-Quan Masters (Star Control II+) and FreeCiv and the GNU game listing and the contents of the gamehippo.com website...

Of course I am willing to bet that with a move to DVD cases we will soon be greeted with a one sheet insert containing install instructions on one side and "here's how to find the PDF manual on the disc" on the other.

with the budget Euro titles, this information will be found on the reverse of the outside liner (yeah, you have to bend the case backwards and remove the liner to read it).

did they keep the pink team?

i want one.

used to use AVG - it's been Avast! for the past few years.

for the roommate.  downloadable preferred (i know about the java version of the original game at popcap.com)... thanks.

let me know what you want in exchange.   if you should happen to have the PC version, that would be excellent, but XBOX is OK.

Antibalas Afrobeat Orchestra - the entire discography, plus the free concerts downloadable from eTree.org:  i never used to be into 'afrofunk', but this NYC band has changed that for me.

a weird combo, but a friend is in need of Rumble Roses for the PS2. she also acquired an Atari VCS, but it came with no AC adaptor or input devices (no joysticks or paddles). also, the plug coming from the VCS system looks like an RCA plug, and so i assume that a 2600 RF Modulator is needed.

anyways, let me know what you'd want for these, if you have them.

i wish the US was more like Europe, where media items are NOT shrinkwrapped...  it's just a waste of plastic.

+1 to Doomboy for the PS2 game disc

Super Mario 64 DS
Resident Evil 4 (GameCube version)

i'd say that almost half of the 'new' games i've acquired over the past 2 years or so have been from the PIFF thread.  :lorax:  so don't close it...

ahhh.. it's wireless capability you really want??

GP2X



i'm going to be getting one in a few months... will report back when i do.

i've never complained about any ad/company before this one.  so what ad banners DO generate revenue?  i assume it's the blinky/flashy, making irritating noise Flash ones, eh?

while a question of 'ethics' would be overstating the matter, and disregarding my personal feelings on MMORPGs... it remains that this is the sort of business i, as a gamer, want no association with.

none... can't stand the things.

Or is there some magical website where hot stupid teens take slutty photos and just slap it on the internet?

myspace.com??

nintendo is still the only console company that is making a profit.   i'm guessing the cheaper-to-produce hardware is one of the contributing factors.

also, the custom control interfaces (DS: dual screen, touch screen - Revolution: special controller) have a bonus side effect of making piracy and emulation much* more difficult.
