Journey Escape (Atari 2600)

A yo dat song iz hard a shit $$$$a.

Great episode.


"But I tell you I do feel like I'm rocking out when I look over on the couch and see Ms. Cheapy with her titties hanging out....then I see my son"( or I think that's how you ended that bit )

Still great.

Damn, released 30 mins after I left my house for work... DAMN!

ahh man that http://www.geocities.com/thegameconsultant/index.html

Laugh out Loud funny.. espicially the movie.. my dayz..

Good Show again.. still have to send something for the 100th show.

That theme song is fantastic. I want the mp3. No, really.

hey CheapyD, chances are (almost positive) you will be able to run Crysis on your iMac on at LEAST medium settings depending on which model you picked up. Just install Windows via Bootcamp and you should be good to go. Try the demo if anything.

The iMac I think you picked up blows the minimum system requirements away.

Minimum System Requirements
OS: Windows XP/Vista
Processor: Pentium 4 @ 2.8 GHz
Memory: 1 GB (1.5 GB on Windows Vista)
Hard Drive: 12 GB Free
Video Memory: 256 MB (nVidia GeForce 6800/ATI Radeon 9800 Pro)
Sound Card: DirectX Compatible
DirectX: 9.0c
Keyboard & Mouse
DVD Rom Drive

Recommended System Requirements
OS: Windows XP/Vista
Processor: Intel Core 2 DUO 2.2 GHz or Athlon 64 X2 4400+
Memory: 2 GB
Hard Drive: 12 GB Free
Video Memory: 256 MB (nVidia 6800 GT/ATI X800 Pro)
Sound Card: DirectX Compatible
DirectX: 9.0c
Keyboard & Mouse
DVD Rom Drive

Supported chipsets:
NVIDIA GeForce 6800 GT or greater; ATI Radeon 9800 Pro (Radeon X800 Pro for Vista) or greater. Laptop versions of these chipsets may work but are not supported. Integrated chipsets are not supported. Updates to your video and sound card drivers may be required.

Yeah, I just ran a youtube search that confirms what I have been thinking. the iMac will run Crysis.

Cheapy I had this bookmarked for an eventual PS3 purchase

It seems complicated but I just had it marked for the future. For a Mac/360 connection, which is a whole lot easier, I use a program called Connect360. Theres a couple other programs if you want better video support but Connect360 works well enough for me. It uses iTune's playlists too so it works great to make game specific soundtracks for yourself.

Enjoy Puerto Rico, Wombat. Have some Church's Fried Chicken for me (it's like the McDonald's of Puerto Rico...or maybe Starbucks).

aww man, I can't see the site because it has been deactivated due to "inactivity" and needs to be reactivated.

Cheapy,

Remember that the original integrity line is the same line Nintendo used right before the Virtual Console launch.

don't do it Cheapy! Don't snip poor little Tai! We evolved with foreskin. It's there for a reason. It makes sex better! Foreskin rocks!

Wow Cheapy, props for going over PC games (or err, one PC game) for once. Perhaps when you can Bootcamp set up on your Mac you'll start covering them, as Cheapassgamer has mostly been consoles only.


As for the subject of Xbox games on LIVE, ...adding additional features and achivements to these games would probably mean augmenting the code somehow, which may introduce further problems to the games. (hence "maintaining the integrity"). So, short of saying "hey, we just didn't have the money and didn't care enough to put developers back to work on these old games, and that we're releasing these games on line to rip you off," I believe Major Nelson used the correct choice of words in his explaination.

Hah! I really liked that theme song Can't wait to listen to the rest when I drive home from work.

That intro is HOT!

43% sounds right about the parents. My parents never played with me and were not around the area while I played.

I guess that technically "Grand Theft" does rhyme with "grand theft," but isn't that bad form? Just sayin'.

I think if it's done in a knowing, tongue-in-cheek way (as it is in this song), it's more interesting than incorrect. Also, he's contrasting two different meanings of the phrase.

I want it too.

wtf...i watched the video and i just kept waiting for something to happen after the question marks flew in.
