Well, if trauma center (Wii) gets repetative, I guess there are 0 games I want for the system. Isnn't that great?

360 is still in the lead for my next major purchase. Just wish I had a nicer TV to play it on.

I was considering a DS... but I'm not sure about that. (I wish that the DS Lite was a little larger, as my OCD doesn't like that my GBA carts will hang out the bottom.)

Since you don't want Zelda, I'll be by later to harvest your testicles.

We don't need that material in the pool no more.
 
Zelda has minimal appeal to me, what would have made me get a Wii would have been online Smash Bros. I have played almost all of them and have yet to beat any of them (though I have gotten to the end of Wind Waker and one castle away from the final one in LttP).

I briefly considered picking up a 360 at Microcenter with their $100 rebate offer they are running. (I think that's still going on.) There's one fairly close to me, so that would make a premium $300 - assuming any are on the shelf... Or I could attempt to PM it around town. But, I guess $300 is still too much, considering that I'm pretty sure I could come up with over a dozen Xbox and PS2 games I still really want to play without much effort. And I plan to get a used GC for cheap at some point and play the Nintendo games I've missed out on so far.

I'm probably good through 2007, but then I'd never put it past myself to get the bug and just up and buy one of the new consoles.

I'd say go for the DS lite, I got one over the summer since I was taking a fairly long trip and figured it would at least be good to amuse me on that. If it didn't impress me my plan was to just sell it on eBay when I got back. (Probably would have been out no more than $20-30 bucks.) But I like it way more than I expected. Even better is that it's been out long enough now that there are plenty of good games to be had for under $20.

I was contimplating whether or not to get a DS but decided I would hold out for a 360 in a few weeks. You provide a pretty good case for the DS though. They do have quite a few good games out also. I still dunno though. I don't think I could find the time to play it at the moment.

My problem with both is that neither has a multitude of games I need/want to play.

360 has Madden 07, GoW, and Dead Rising that would keep my interest. Maybe Saints Row. And maybe GTA4 when it comes out.

DS has Phoenix Wright (which I own, ironically enough), NSMB, and Mario Kart. Maybe FF3.

So far, the games available for a bunch of the newer systems don't do anything for me. PS3 has MGS4 (eventually), Wii has Mario Galaxy and SSBB (again, eventually).

What's the world coming to?
 
Damn this OTT ground to a halt.

I think there a couple dozen really good DS games, easily. But it's a subjective thing.

I blame you for the grinding to a halt. :D
 
I woke up to find some more great sales:

Madden NFL 07 sold for $35
Lost in Blue (New) sold for $55
Some lady wants to buy my collection of the three Konga games for $60

Cleared about $200 already... now I just have to transfer it to my bank so I can get Castlevania by Friday.
 
Shrike, when should I start being concerned that a CAG has ripped me off?

I bought a game from someone on Nov. 29th, the guy writes back and says he'll get it out today or tommorrow.

Fast forward to yesterday, December 5th, no package yet, no reply from the guy, so I ask him if he's sent it and if he has a tracking #.

Today, no answer, the guy hasn't even logged onto CAG since 11-30... I'm kind of worried. Looking at my PM's, 11-30 was the last time I ever heard from this guy.

Yep. Only site admins can't be banned.

I think the DS has been getting a good game at a rate of one a month for a solid year and a half now.

People that were around for my mini coup would remember that mods can ban almost anyone. Even god.
 
Just finished Dragon Quest VIII last night. (Noticed it in dcfox's sig.) Fun game without much leveling required at all - which is a major plus in my book. The save system was kind of a drag if you want to be able to just play it in 30 minute bursts, but for some reason it just kept me pulled in. It's probably the longest (gameplay timewise) game I've completed all year.

Now I just started on The Warriors for Xbox. Picked it up for $10 at Target a few days ago.

I'd start to be concerned, but it's better than him being on every day and just flat ignoring you. PM shrike or me the details if you'd like us to get involved.
 
Uninspired sequels and lackluster ports?

Roufuss and I shot a couple of PM's back and forth. We'll see what happens.

Nah, I was having fun, but I wasn't being stupid about it. Don't think it would have been possible anyways.

From what I've seen of things, I think site admins are unbannable. Everyone else is fair game.

It's been far enough in the past that I didn't remember if you banned him or not. Pretty much nailed everyone else, AFAIK.

I think I managed to get punq and LedHed, and a handfull of users, before Traken came on, unbanned Led, and Led banned me.

Fun night.

Well, I hope I've successfully washed the stench of death off of me after my fun at viewing an autopsy. Holy shit do people smell when they're dead. The worst was when they cut open the stomach to check the contents. I was halfway across the room and I could smell it.

I can rejoice as tomorrow is the last day I have to get up at 6:30 for class. Afer tomorrow I can finally go on gaming binges 'til 5 in the morning like I used to over the summer.

Wow, fuck Dead Rising.

I died, and my two choices are to reload my save from the very beginning of the game, or save status and quit and start from the very beginning of the game.

I thought load meant a CHECKPOINT like EVERY OTHER GAME IN THE WORLD.

No... fuck this game.

Got a good feeling it's going to get Ebayed now since I really don't want to re-do 2 hours... i'm immensely pissed off.

welcome to 5 months ago.

Don't get mad and quit though, it is an awsome game. Just remember to save whenever you have a chance. And when you start again from the start you still have all your stats up just back at the begining of the story.
 
Someone either in the forums or in person told me the following story regarding White Castle:

Someone they knew worked in a hospital. This old lady came in with severe constipation. After several rounds of prescription strength medication failed, one of the nurses just told her to eat at White Castle, and it worked.

Well, I did load as in load because I thought it would load a checkpoint... not my save from 2 hours ago.
 
[quote name='mr ryles']no checkpoints here son.[/QUOTE]

BS... not sure I have the time to deal with some shit like this.

I guess it's back to Gears of War / Rainbow Six Vegas.
