Indeed.
I'm thinking I MAY change the title to "GGT#71 wants babies with The Dark Knight" but I think I'll leave it as is.
Chacrana
08-08-2008, 06:04 PM
I think TMK will come back if we cross out The Dark Knight and replace it with something made by Sony.
Maybe if we say GGT watches Dark Knight on Blu Ray?

good movie, but Wall-E still is considered the best summer movie so far by me.

I need to see that one still. I generally haven't liked Pixar's movies that much and I'm convinced that adults only like Finding Nemo and Monsters Inc. because they want to sound like they have some semblance of creativity in their body, but I did really like Ratatouille.

Wall-E is phenomenal. I don't like when people use the word "cute" to describe the movie. It was so much more...
I think I like TDK more though (I've seen both twice). However, they're both very different.
MarkMan
08-08-2008, 06:10 PM
WALL-E for me too.
What kind of parts does the stick have? Some arcade quality?
No arcade parts at all. But the stick was constructed so well that it is one of the rare exceptions where you don't need to mod it. ^_^
Pixar movies are awesome.
I'll pick up Wall-E on Blu-Ray though, since I just don't have time for movies.
I thought GGT needed a game-related title?
GT has some WoW expansion vids up and they look good. I wanna be a Death Knight!
Thx for the response on the PS Namco stick, MM.

Chacrana
08-08-2008, 06:14 PM

Just add "Streets of Rage 2 rocks, but 3 doesn't as much." at the end of the title.
3 does have the hilariously gay guy in it though.

Yeah, Ratatouille was superb. I love rats (especially hairless ones... I have a weird obsession with them...) so the while thing was immediate love. Brad Bird is great. Iron Giant was pretty good for the time it came out as well... even when it stars a robot voice by Vin Deisel.

FIFA 09
Fable 2 LE
Gears 2
Banjo Nuts and Bolts
Left 4 Dead
for me.
edit: Surprisingly between the $40 price tag and the videos and impressions I have been watching/listening/reading about Banjo it might be my most anticipated game. I remember playing Kazooie and Tooie with my brother a decade ago.
Chacrana
08-08-2008, 06:47 PM
Okay, I played a real mission in Disgaea and so far, I dig it. The dialog is excellent, the battle system is fun, and the presentation is spot-on. It's hella slick.
I was worried that I'd be falling asleep like immediately upon playing this, because that's what happened with Jeanne D'Arc a couple months ago... not the case.

08-08-2008, 06:51 PM
This year? Oh god, I'm not going to go through the trouble of looking up the release dates but I already have a list of what I'm going to get that's announced so far:

Resistance 2 (PS3)
Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe (PS3)

08-08-2008, 06:54 PM
Just got my busted 360 premium back, I actually got back the one I sent and it seems a bit quieter.
Think I'll go back to using it and keep the arcade I bought as a backup.
To flip or not to flip, that is the question. I say go for it. SCIV LE seems to be selling well.
I wish amazon or someone would put the ToV LE up already.

I doubt I'll buy anything else until Gears 2. GTAIV and SCIV are keeping me busy, and I have Oblivion on the shelf as well as still playing CoD4.
That and I'm busy as hell trying to crank out my dissertation proposal.
There's several other games I'm intersted in this year--Castlevania DS, Too Human, Fallout 3, Fable 2 etc. but those will probably wait for X-mas or early 2009.

08-08-2008, 10:55 PM
Alright, I think I'm gonna say eff selling this computer and getting a laptop and just upgrading the shit out of it. I figure my little xp problem is either failing mobo, or failing cpu. I'm running a 7900 GS 256mb, AMD Athalon x2 3800+, 2 gigs of ram and a crappy N-force motherboard, and a 500w psu. Few months ago I tried to re-install windows, got a need file asms error, blah blah blah.
I want to:
Switch to intel processors, and get a nice core2duo suitable for gaming
Get a nice new mobo
Get a nice new video card
Processor wise, I'm not sure what I want, though I need it under 150.
MOBO wise, I'm looking at this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131275
or this:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128337
Video card wise:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130379
That MOBO plays nice with the video card, right? I know my 500w psu can handle it.
Good choices? I'll finally buy crysis if I do this, just to say I can run it well.
EDIT: This seems like a great processor for the price. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115032
These three things are compatible, right. I'm guessing I'll be able to do some serious gaming after this.

That's actually the main problem I had with it, the gameplay, like on most RPGs. It just felt like a really bad shooter to me overall. I probably should mention that I play games solely for gameplay, everything else is an afterthought for me. I liked everything ME did, just not how it did it.
Edit: Heh, I contradicted myself, I shouldn't say it's a shooter if I think it's an RPG.

The last parts of the game suck anyways, so you really aren't missing out.
I tried playing Bioshock on PC but I have problems playing FPS with mouse/keyboard. So I don't know if that is why, I didn't really like the world/atmosphere, or I don't know if I just didn't dig the gameplay. I'll give it a rent on PS3.

Jesus H, can someone good with computers tell me if this (http://http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115032) is a good mobo or has another one to suggest?
I know I picked good on video card, pretty sure the processor is pretty good, but I cannot find a good mobo!
Chacrana

Bioshock and Mass Effect were both good. I dunno why people act like Bioshock is shit after you hit some of the more fetch-questy parts. I mean, there's not that many of them, and it's not like there's a ton of backtracking or anything...
But anyway, Pineapple Express was dog shit. Seth Rogan just can't write, and he can't tell a joke, either. I'm not too bitter about it though, because I got my friend to give me money to buy the ticket (he didn't buy my ticket, because that would be gay, and thus, not permissible.) Was still a complete and utter waste of time though, unless you still find the word "fuck" to be hilarious.
The P5K is a good mobo. That link doesn't work but if I remember correctly that is the one you picked, right?

You can also add Harold and Kumar 2 to the list of things I like. The first time I watched it, it was on like a 13" roadshow TV and it sucked. But I liked it when I watched it on my setup. You can add 13" Roadshow TVs with built-in DVD players to my hate list. And Ron Howard, because he's bald and ugly. Jeff Goldblum is on the list of things I like tho.

Oddly enough, I haven't finished Crysis yet, but it is sooo good. If Crysis Warhead is more action-y, then that can only be a good thing. A lot of times, I like downtime in FPSes, since in FEAR or Riddick, for example, that non-action time is all about atmosphere or something to give the game a bit more variety than just "attack shit." But Crysis didn't really do anything to fill that time. So if Warhead is a tighter experience, that'll be legit.
It's weird... I mostly play PC games while I'm in school... during the summer, not so much. so I guess I'll finish that game and play some of those RTSes I have piling up fairly soon.
Though I think the first game I'll play through when school starts is Infinite Undiscovery. Please don't mess it up, square.

Mass Effect's conclusion was so, so awesome. The bits leading up to that could have used a little more variety, but it was a great game nonetheless.
On the other hand, Bioshock starts out AWESOME and slowly turns into a pile of shit during the unnessecary "boss" at the end and the awful 10 second pre-rendered Binary endings.
Both great games with different, but equally major problems.

Aren't Bioshock and Mass Effect (on PC) both heavily DRM laden, in ways that essentially amount to malware? I could be wrong, I don't put much energy into keeping up with the whole "video games" thing, but that impression is why I've always stayed away from them.

In Bioshock's case, you still have to activate the game online when you install it, though they got rid of the limitations on how many times you can install the game. With Mass Effect, I believe that you're limited, but you can call EA or some shit to renew your key.
Honestly, it's complete bullshit, and it's one of the things I really hate about the PC platform, but the upside is that the games look sooo much better than their 360 counterparts. While yes, it's absolutely retarded, I still think the PC versions are the ones to own... just be sure to back that shit up once you've installed it so The Man can't pull a fast one.

Its cool to hear that Warren Ellis had a part in writing for Dead Space. It makes me even more interested in the game now. Warren Ellis has a sick twisted sense of humor. I haven't read any comics in about 5 years, but I used to love his Transmetropolitan series.

Please help me.Do you have the media server stuff enabled? Evidently that forces you into NAT3, for all the sense that makes.
Even if you're not using it, but the option is there to look for them, it can screw with you. :(

Ok, but my DMZ thing looks different than yours.
It wants a Source IP address and a Destination IP address...
Do I use the PS3's IP address (which is the same as yours) or a different IP address?

Hmmm...thats probably it. How do I disable/enable it?
Or better yet how do I check if its enabled?

Just use the PS3's IP ( u can check on yours network status/connection list in PS3 > Settings > Network Settings > )...
Also open up the ports as suggested in the guide.
Also media server stuff doesn't force you to NAT3. Mine is enabled and I run NAT2 still. It might just be a router issue.

My poor GA-KO clock!
Has anyone actually put batteries in and used their GA-KO clock!?
I put batteries in mine and the battery area got really hot and melted the bottom casing!!!
:(

Now I'm not sure if it was a bad battery or it might be the product, just be warned and look out for anyone that tries it.

Hey jest, if you're in here, I'm about to see if my error is due to a bad stick of ram. If it is (god I hope so) I'm gonna keep this shitty mobo and just upgrade processor and video card. What's the best AMD processor for around 120 bucks?
I'm thinking after this I shouldn't have to upgrade again for at least 3 years. If Diablo isn't out by then I'm just gonna go kill someone over at blizzard.
EDIT: I have the 3800+, and it's pretty slow, especially considering I'm going to *ahem* buy a 64 bit version of Vista.
EDIT2: This caught my eye:

I played 5 hours of Fable last night, only to have it freeze on me. I don't know when the last time I saved was. I don't feel like playing it over again. I was going to play through it in anticipation of Fable II. I might. If I get a PC before then and play it on a PC. That one never locked up on me. I wonder if I can find a controller patch for it.

I haven't spent any money this summer except for my DVD cabinet, speaker wire, and booze/wed last night but I'm probably going to be spending a bunch right around Madden.
Target $15 1600 point cards, Madden, and a 12 month card. And possibly SC4 premium if I can find a good enough deal.

Both cars have a similar type of damage; back window smashed out, a dented roof, and some miscellaneous dents. My mom's car's driver side mirror is also just hanging loose.
I was thinking about getting a new engine for my car from a junkyard, but now I'll need to replace the back window and probably the front, since it has a crack in it. I think it can be filled though. Still sucks though. Time to get that job at McDonalds. :)

yeah... knowing me, I love user created based games and can see myself getting more playtime than MGS4. I've pretty much done all I want to in MGS4 so ditching it will be fine. Just like all other MGS games it'll get super cheap eventually and I'll rebuy it then.
Wish I could say there's something I want now, but to be honest there isn't... :(
I'll probably sell it on ebay since I can get more there then trading it.
