[quote name='DarthPuma']Lol, I'm using Ubuntu on my desktop that I'm selling right now. It is pretty cool, but after some of the horror stories I've heard about it I don't think it's right for me.

I know the cost more, but I've thought really hard about it and it's worth it because of how well built they are. I do wish there was a dedicated graphics option, but I can live without it.[/QUOTE]

Yes they are really solid construction wise. I've seen enough $500 POS laptops that last about 6 months to know what solidly built means.

Ubuntu is fine unless you start screwing with it too much. It hates it when I try to update my graphics driver with Nvidia's driver.

Haha, at first I was gonna get a 500 POS. Then I figured if I'm spending that much money I might as well get something good. Plus, I'll be ebaying the free Ipod Touch, so It's really like I'm getting it for 800*.

plus the cost of another stick of ram (or two if it has 2 512 sticks...*shudders*, a neoprene sleeve, screen and keyboard protectors, bluetooth mighty mouse, and a bag
 
[quote name='KingBroly']That's a real steal at $70. For Soul Calibur, I feel that if I buy it, I should buy it on the same console I get Street Fighter IV on, and I feel that is the 360. Also because I don't want to get two arcade sticks. I also feel that I need to get an arcade stick for SFIV, and because since Bandai Namco has been pretty bad this generation, I don't trust the quality of their Arcade sticks, so I'll wait for a SFIV one.[/QUOTE]

well, SFIV is getting a nice stick when it comes out... but whatever...


[quote name='The Mana Knight']I won't be able to pick up my copy of SCIV until Wednesday. I found out my parents will be gone most of the day on Monday and Tuesday (won't get back until late in the evening). :whistle2:( I need a ride to Gamestop (it's about 15 minutes away from me). Oh well, I can wait a day.[/QUOTE]



wait... isn't it available at stores this Wed? or since most stores have it early it'll be Tues?
 
I've actually never owned an Arcade Stick (Unless you count the NES Advantage), so I don't know if it'll add to the game or not.
 
When I end up getting SC4 which probably won't be until sometime in August, probably even later once I can find a good deal and I have made some good progress into my backlog, I'm not in a rush to buy it, I will be picking up the 360 version. Ironing out the details on that $70 deal now. And a TRU near me has Blue Dragon so I'm probably picking those all up tomorrow. Shit I have enough 360 games to last me the next 5 years.

Current BL
All 3 BK games, Beautiful Katamari, Bioshock, Call of Duty 4, Gears, GRAW, Tomb Raider Legend, King Kong, Prey, Rainbow Six Vegas, Sega Rally Revo, Splinter Cell DA, The Darkness, Tony Hawk Project 8

Add Battlefield Bad Company, Blue Dragon, Mass Effect, Orange Box, and VF5

Still working through Stranglehold. Tomb Raider is next up.

The game is street dated. We have it at my store already. I got to hold it...

ok awesome... kinda sucks to since it's a day before my final >_< it's going to be hard to study and not play this.
 
I am still undecided on SCIV. I got the go ahead to purchase it....but I don't know which version I want. Probably 360 since I have more LIVE friends there....but then I can't get my ass handed to me ReRo style.... I have until tomorrow. I will probably flip a coin.

well, look at it this way:

PS3: Play alot of CAGs + Instant Vader + Faster Load Times (till 360 dash update)

360: Play anyone (primarily less CAGs) + Instant Yoda + Faceplate (if you get it at gamecrazy... which I don't have here in florida).

Yeah, I am looking forward to Yoda. I also like Analog for SC games. I really like the 360. I am no fanboy, but it is my preferred system for some dumb reason. Anyone know how the PS3 version is online? Like lag and such.

[quote name='suko_32']I'm getting the PS3 version.[/quote]

Oh, well...360 version for me then for sure! ;) Just kidding.

I am leaning more PS3, but 360 has Yoda on the cover and in the game. I wish I knew when Yoda was coming to the dark side. It owuld make this easier. :D
 
I almost picked up a copy of FFIV tonight. But I managed not to keep myself from buying it. I'm REALLY trying to cut down on spending money right now.

Pussy. :D
 
I got a new game from gamefly today...

folklore...

is it good???

other than that I beat the 1st 2 missions on the 7th chapter of TC New Blood.

also played more Fatal Frame when I woke up this morning...
 
I'm still not 100% sure on which SCIV version to get.
I'm like 70% for PS3 and 30% on 360...
Not really sure why though, PS3 seems like the obvious answer.
The store is giving away a free PS3 Skin (SCIV) as well which seems really cool.
 
I like Folklore a lot, but you kinda have to play it while alternating between Ellen and Keats otherwise you won't get much out of it.
 
Hey MM/other crazy arcade stick collectors...

Rightstuf.com is having a Dragon Ball Z sale. I lulzed because they're selling this arcade stick:


610062960206.jpg


The price is 29.99, and then there is an additional 40% off, so its only 17.99. So, if you don't have this stick and are a big collector/need some laughs/are obsessed with Dragon Ball Z, check it out :D

[quote name='Kendal']Ok so I have two $5 off $50 for Play-Asia.com any GGT'ers want them before I just hand them out in the PA code thread?[/QUOTE]

I want one plz.

I'm planning to order Siren.

[quote name='JEKKI']I got a new game from gamefly today...

It's pretty good. I'm playing through it right now and enjoying it.

[quote name='Jesus_S_Preston']Keats is a silly ass name.[/quote]

Yeah. I'm on the cusp of beating it...again. But more games have drawn me away from it again, so I'm hesitant to go back...again.
 
I played both demos and could never get into it... oh well. I see the appeal though.

word on the street is that if MvC3 is made it's going to possibly use the TvC engine...
 
I can't decide if the extra .3 ghz the middle tier macbook has is worth an extra 200 bucks. Don't need the super drive, and I'm putting in my own RAM.

I wanna start wowcraft again.
 
Fuck I'm tired. Just got home from Comic-Con Saturday. My brother beasted in gaming today. He won the Tekken 5: Dark Resurrection tournament and got 4th overall for the Konami Metal Gear Online tournament. His team won though for the 4 vs 4 team battle that Konami also held for the Metal Gear Online finals. He won this NICE Metal Gear Online poster that I've never seen anywhere before that was signed by both Hideo Kojima and Yoji Shinkawa.

I got to meet up with Yoshinori Ono (Producer of Street Fighter IV) and we talked about a few things and projects we're working on together. I got two signed IV posters and went on my way.

On the way out I spotted some Devil May Cry stuff. (InuFaye, if you're reading this, I got a Capcom official Devil May Cry 4 poster for you if you want it).

Finally towards the end of this hectic day we had Blaz Blue up for play in our gaming room. People were blown away by the graphics and gameplay. If I never mentioned this before, I'll mention this now. It is very unique and plays a lot like Guilty Gear with a mix of Virtua Fighter/Tekken/Third Strike thrown in.

And the other day. B:L visited and beasted on me in Soul Calibur IV !
 
[quote name='Chibi_Kaji']I would have gotten it if I wasn't picking up SCIV next week.[/quote]

Yeah, I was just givin' ya shit. :D I still haven't opened mine. But I am saving some gaming for my New York trip.

[quote name='whoknows']I want one plz.

Oh, I meant people I like.
You should have PM soon!
 
[quote name='DarthPuma']MarkMan, I've been trying to figure out what you do for a living. Are you in the industry?[/quote]

This. MarkyMarkMan, wtf do you do?

You're awesome btw.

I'm just some random dude that loves video games, has good friends, and good contacts. Network, it's important people.
 
I see.

I might be able to get a MBP if I get paid enough this week. Unlikely, but it could happen.

EDIT: Actually no, it's not worth another grand for a video card. I just have to keep telling myself that I have a 360/DS/PS3 for gaming.

Man, so many games I want. Backlog, increase!

I must GRiD tonight, despite the WoW. :p

Random outburst: Mario Party DS is ass.

Well, I don't like it anyway. Gonna get rid of it asap. :p
 
ic did u happen to ask when its comin to consoles? :lol:
i definitely want to get it with the arcade stick so i only have to get one
 
I wish everyone wasn't getting the PS3 version of Soul Calibur 4..

I guess I could go either way, since I'm used to using an analog stick. I just don't know. It's not like I play online with most of you guys ever anyway. Namco isn't really known for their quality network code + guys from 1up were saying that the online mode was pretty sketchy unless they were playing in the office.

Install might be nice, but from what we've seen of installs (and Namco isn't the most experienced PS3 dev. If Capcom used them that way, namco surely is) they're usually just there to get the load times up to par with the 360 version. And the PS3 version doesn't have rumble?

Guess I'll make sure to bring a coin to flip when i go to best buy on tuesday.
