[quote name='Krymner']Did he actually say "wonky"???

Didn't LP say the new fighting thread had absorbed the stick thread?

And what I am writing is amazing crazy. It just came to me. I need to tidy it up, do a banner and put it on my blog after I fix myself another rum and coke.[/quote]

What's wrong with wonky?

A little early for rum and coke isn't it?;) How about a screwdriver or a harvey wallbanger instead?:D

Since I'm not getting Fable 2 still tuesday (I could've sworn it was coming out last tuesday) it looks like I'll be trying to knock out Gears of War over the weekend. Also got NBA Live 09 All-Play from Gamefly and look to mess around with that a bit so that I can send it back monday.
 
[quote name='Jesus_S_Preston']So I think the CAG arcade stick thread was deleted? So I'll ask here. I want to pick up a stick when I get SCIV; I want something that'll be worth buying, but not something I have to spend a lot on.

Is this one good, or is there a better lower-price option?[/QUOTE]

I haven't personally used it, but I've heard that it's decent. The stick and buttons aren't the greatest, and tend to wear out quickly. It' s probably not bad for that price.

I'd spend more, but I love fighters and quality. If you aren't too hardcore, it would probably be fine.

The button layout puts the face buttons in the middle, which isn't ideal, but you can remap them in games.

IDK, wonky is just a silly word I think.

What's wrong with rum and coke? Is that wonky? :lol: Nah, It's muh drank, dog.

My MS Paint skills are at their best when I'm buzzed. Going to bed in a couple hours anyway.

Prolly play a little DQIV before that tho. Do some grinding. Yeah.
 
Arcade Stick Thread will never die.

Played the Quantum of Solace PC demo. It was OK. It reminded me of a FPS Uncharted, and it has the same exact cover mechanic as every other game with one.

Wonky IS a silly word , but nothings wrong with it. I use it often.:lol:

Also nothings wrong with a rum and coke (I can always go for one) but it just seemed like it was kinda early for one. But then I realized that it is after noon so I guess its not too early any more.;)

Just ordered Wii Music from amazon. Was only kinda curious about the game before , but I could not pass on the $20 amazon promo code. Worst comes to worst , I can always hawk it here , at GS or on Goozex. Lots of options.
 
[quote name='pete5883']Wouldn't that be Heavy Armor or Light Armor that would have your stuff break fast? Armorer would help you fix it quick. :D @ your adherance to realism, though.[/quote]Yes, but you level those up by... getting hit and wearing your armour down. So while it doesn't quite degrade as fast as it did before, my Kvatch Cuirass still drops like a bitch against a Daedroth. A fucking Daedroth.

So much easier to level up conjuration and just let a Clannfear do your shit for you.
 
[quote name='Krymner']I'm a 3rd-shift worker, so sometimes I do my drinkin in the morning/early afternoon.

My appologies to everyone involved:

http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/blog.php?b=3806

Gonna finish up my drank, play some DQIV, and hit the bed.[/QUOTE]

:applause:

Good stuff.

You know... I'm toying with the idea of picking up an arcade stick. I'm not sure if I'm ready to post in the arcade stick thread though. Just throwing out the idea.

Saints Row 2 is so good to me. Jacked a helicopter, took it up as high as I could, jumped out, fell for a while, then drew my parachute. Excellent fun.
 
[quote name='Jesus_S_Preston']Ahadi I am in the same arcade stick boat as you. Mine is a canoe actually.[/QUOTE]

Have you taken a look at any? I was clicking around ebay. I'm not really looking for anything too fancy. Just something I can call my first stick :lol:

I don't know... Any stick experts all up in here should post some ideas/tips ;) Just because I don't want to clutter the stick thread with the same question they've already been asked time and again.

But now I'm off til way later tonight. Volunteering at a haunted house/park. Happy Saturday Gaming.
 
I love my modded Namco stick. It's mah babi.

I'll be snagging one of the SFIV Premium sticks when they are released.

You guys know that the OTT had nothing to do with Linkin's "crusade", right? Hell, most of us don't even like him in there, but we can't get him to leave.

At least you guys don't have to constantly read his posts and be under his watchful eye.

Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis. When I was dead broke I couldn't picture this.[/quote]

:shrugs: Doesn't really matter to me who was at fault. I kinda felt it was inevitable (and maybe a little warranted) for the mods to come in , crack down and straigten things out , I just think the way it was handled was kinda poor.

As far as mods posting in the OTT goes (Linkin or anyone else) , at least it shows some camaraderie that doesn't really show up here since the only mod that regularly visits here is Gwen (which I certenly don't have a problem with).

Thinking about getting an arcade stick soon too , just don't know when or what. Probably just gonna wait for the SF4 Madcatz one since MarkMan is saying it's supposed to be really good.

Don't worry about posting in the arcade stick thread though , its meant to be a used resourse. If you have questions , thats the place to ask them.
 
No gamin' for me last night--friend's bachlor party. Wedding is later today. Hope the kids behave themselves. >_
 
I just finished chapter 6 in Dead Space. I got a little creeped out in chapter 6 when I was taking an elevator down and heard "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" sung over my radio.

I didn't realize that was all that was wrong with it.

Damn, if only I had a bc ps3 I'd pick it up.

Seriously pumped for fable 2 now that I've watched some vids. It's a nice compliment to the gritty violent games coming out.
 
I'm about 4 hours into MOTHER 3 and it's so awesome. You should be playing this.

I bought Legend of Kage 2 and My Japanese Coach, but I might return My Japanese Coach for the new Castlevania next week. I used the other $50 of my $100 gift card to pre-order Gears 2. ::whee:: thanks cheapy!
 
I'm going to try to trade in some games to take advantage of the kickass 50% OFF LBP and FABLE II deal I was talking about earlier. Hopefully I can fully pay off both games.

when's chac comin back?????????[/QUOTE]

he says he's banned for 2 weeks.

erm...forgot why.

Yeah, same here. Right now I'm looking at that SCIV stick I posted earlier today in this here gee-gee-tee.
 
[quote name='ninja dog']he says he's banned for 2 weeks.

ok. just wondering since I haven't heard anything.

I'm looking to thin out my collection. In order to do so I gotta finish Gurumin, Tokobot, Brave Story, and what I'm working on now (probably won't get rid of) The Warriors... all PSP games that I'm like 75% done with but have yet to finish.

I am going to be getting rid of Metal Gear 4 soon as well... I don't even touch i anymore and if I want it again, by the time I pick it up again it'll be cheap.

anyone know where I can get cheap PSP cables to play my PSP on an HDTV?

Target clearance had them for 5 bucks.

aww shit... fuck. how recent was the drop? if very recent I'll swing by monday to get some.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']aww shit... fuck. how recent was the drop? if very recent I'll swing by monday to get some.[/QUOTE]

2 months ago or so. Not all of them had them. Give it a shot.

They were still there last time I was there.
 
[quote name='RelentlessRolento']hmm... I think mine still has them but never saw the clearance sticker on em. They aren't in demand down here so I think I'm in luck.[/QUOTE]

You could always hit up monoprice.
 
I didn't care for the PSP cables to TV out because it letterboxed the games, and they ended up looking not as sharp as just playing on the PSP. That said, for $5, I probably would have bought some >_

Got 70 bucks for my guitar heroes and harry potter 6 and 7.

Was gonna use that and get fable on tuesday, but I went to walmart to get shit and ended up playing rock band 2. The new instruments are so improved I think I'll trade in gta tomorrow if it still gets 30 and pick up the bundle.

What guitar heroes did you trade in Puma? And what was the trade value on each. If it's good, I may dump mine.
 
Going to head back to the US soon. I love Hong Kong. It is a WONDERFUL city.

Golden Center (akihabara of HK) has SO MUCH shit here... levels and levels of gaming stuff.

I only got to wander for 2 hours and even then I only covered about 1 floor of all the video game stuff. It was INSANE.

I'm coming back here in December!

Now part of the dilemma...

It's 8 AM.

The arcade also opens at 8 AM.

It's about 30 minutes away by train.

The mall opens at 10:30 AM (right next to my hotel).

I need to do some shopping at the mall before I check out of my hotel (12 noon).

If I go to the arcade I'd probably only get to play for 30 min before I head back to the mall and finish shopping before I check out then go to the airport.

...

...

fuck.

decisions.

BTW, my hotel is crazy!

It looks exactly like this:

Game only or with guitar, and is that cash or credit (do they even do store credit)?

With guitar. Not bad really, about what you'd get online after shipping.
 
[quote name='SL4IN']Lol. I just had someone come and ask me if we had any strategy guides for Little Big Planet. Srsly? :rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl::rofl:[/QUOTE]

Well, did you?
 
I went to walmart and tried to go ahead and buy it.

Blockbuster was a no go either, but I'm willing to bet they have it tuesday. After all this, I'm not even sure I want it anymore. Might move my amazon credit to fable and get that for 40 bucks.

I'm really wanting rock band, but 200 dollars is a lot of fucking money, so it's tough talking myself into it. It would be nice to have my own set my sisters can't fuck up though.
 
[quote name='whoknows']Well, did you?[/quote]

Nope. My boss doesn't order guides, we normally just wait for them to get traded in. Guides hardly ever sell.
 
[quote name='SL4IN']Nope. My boss doesn't order guides, we normally just wait for them to get traded in. Guides hardly ever sell.[/QUOTE]

That's because guides are a waste of money.

It's a well known fact. Maybe 1 out of every 100 guides that come out are actually worth the money.
 
[quote name='SL4IN']Nope. My boss doesn't order guides, we normally just wait for them to get traded in. Guides hardly ever sell.[/quote]

Who trades in guides? Like what store?
 
Does anyone know the best instruments for the 360? I'm planning on picking up Rock Band, Guitar Hero and Rock Revolution and I would like to know the best instruments for the games. I'm looking to get a whole set of instruments.
