I used my Sidewinder to play Claw and Wing Commander IV since those were the only ones that needed it I either used a keyboard/mouse or Thrustmaster joystick to play everything else ;)[/QUOTE]
I remember using the Sidewinder for Jazz Jackrabbit and Croc: Legend of the Gobbos. I think we once owned a joystick, but I don't remember using it - then again, it was so long ago (and I was so young) that my memory is pretty fuzzy on the details.

potato bump

I don't know what is with me and the word potato, it's, like, my favorite word now. I even named my hack-n-slash RPG character Potato. o_O
 
Bump...

I don't remember either of those titles alaisiagae but I remember being a teenager when I owned that gamepad so that might be why. Potato...hmm, Have you been playing Portal 2 lately? :lol:

That T-shirt is pure awesome Skinkrawl where did you find that?

Yup sdragon and it's an exclusive list too ;)

This page shows up as number 66 for me twztid :D
 
you ordered the xbl pack from walmart? didn't know they had it for that price.

also, my email addy is [email protected], but it was supposed to be amazon, not paypal.

shows page 14 for me, but that post moved it from page 13 to 14 (actually sdragon's post did, but it wasn't showing at the time).
 
Interestingly enough, I don't really play online anymore. Used to in the days of Dreamcast, and somewhat on the PS2. Rage Quitters, loud people, racist people, ignorant people, sexists, etc. keep me away.

those people are still there, but now they have kids, and those kids play online, too (with the same ignorant mentality as their parents display)! it's fun to play with people you know (or meet online & are getting to know), but playing with anonymous randoms is a waste of my time.

if you ever want to play online, sdragon, feel free to add me or oldschool (i speak for him now). we are none of the things you mentioned above, fortunately. i am a singleplayer gamer at heart, and i don't play multiplayer alot for the same reasons you mentioned, sdragon. i have a small group of friends that i play mp games with, but i prefer coop over versus by a longshot.
 
Bump...

Replied in everyone's threads :D I trust your judgment for who to include in our multiplayer games twztid, so far PC multiplayer is the best though :lol: I prefer co-op too but I don't mind any kind of multiplayer as long as no ones hacking/cheating. Only games I've had problems with are FPS war games like COD for some reason:whistle2:k

Did you see that Cthulhu Saves the World/ Breath of Death VII bundle on Steam?[/QUOTE]

I did, looks intresting. Wonder if its any good? I see you bought them, I mean $2.99 how bad can they be right?.....bump lol
 
Turtles in Time Re-shelled - You liked this? I only played the demo, but it looked terrible. Environments were bland, I liked the original so much better in terms of graphics, control, etc. I know the original TMNT Arcade game is on Xbox Live, but does either PS3 or Xbox have the original Turtles in Time Arcade machine game?
 
URGHH! wrote a long pm & your pm's are full. what, you think i'm supposed to just stand in line and wait like some commoner?

i saved it in Word, but it's just to touch base. lmk when you have room for little ol' me to send your heiness a pm, sir ;).

Awesome, I need to change my avatar since now I'm gaming royalty :lol: I fixed my inbox by getting rid of all duplicate messages so go ahead and fill it up again twztid ;) Also, I sent you the money I owe by Amazon yesterday let me know when you get it.

I saw that debate in your thread about which controller is the best twztid and so far I say my current favorite is the PS3 sixaxis since I play a wide variety of games but my previous favorites were the N64 followed by the SNES gamepad. I like that the Wii classic controller pro tries to be similar to the older controllers since it's great for Virtual console games :D The only Control schemes I didn't like were the Dreamcast since the cable kept getting in the way and the handhelds since my hands cramp up within a short period of time :(
 
[quote name='OldSchool77']You may be gaining but twztid has blown by us both :lol:[/QUOTE]
yeah, but to be fair, you both have full time jobs (being a mom is more than 40 hrs a week), and i can't find one so i look at this site all the time.

both turtle games are those of the arcade machine, btw. i just couldn't believe that they were doing a remake & left out the SNES levels, which made it incredibly short. that didn't seem short in the arcades, as you had to keep putting quarters in (i think it was .50 cents at my lone arcade).

also, i'll send the pm now. it was to tell you i got the payment, etc.
 
[quote name='OldSchool77']That T-shirt is pure awesome Skinkrawl where did you find that?:D[/QUOTE]

They've had that shirt forever; still one of my favorites.

Check out the title of my thread now. I figure that will drum up business!
 
Being a full time parent is a 168 hour/ week job since the kids are on your mind even when you're asleep twztid :lol: I thought that the game seemed short but I figured that it was due to the amount of time since I played it last. I saw that price drop for bloodstone but I want the PS3 version, I ended up ordering Halo anniversary though :D

Thanks for the bumps everyone, Unless anyone likes middle aged men only slightly less hairy than Robin Williams I think they might be disappointed skinkrawl :lol:
 
[quote name='OldSchool77']Hopefully Amazon matches that deal for Blood Stone, I would rather have the PS3 version though since I have the PS3 version of Quantum of Solace already ;)[/QUOTE]
right, right.

i may not get it day 1, but we gotta play through the campaign of anniversary edition, oldschool (that & halo3 eventually), cuz i don't know anyone else getting it.

also, i SO want that star wars console, and i'm not even a fan really. the detail on the console & controller is SWEET. i wish you could buy it w/o kinect & the game, lol. watch the vid on the XBL dash if you get a chance.
 
Ditto about parenthood. And, all great points that you made in my thread. Not sure if Uncharted/GOW are 1080p though. I think they are 720p (though they look great either way).
 
GoW collection is 1080p, i was so happy about that. that's 1 reason i hate that GoW3 was 720p, and i guarantee all uncharted games are 720p. don't play lego or ratchet & clank, but got quest for booty for free, and it's 720p. how much you want to bet that uncharted 3, skyrim, battlefield 3, and assasins creed revalations are all 720p on ps3?

also, i didn't get a 360 till late 08 or jan 09 (which is also when i got an HDTV), so not concerned with the stuff that has no impact whatsoever in my life (although i'm pretty sure the 360 could do 1080p upscaling through component cables before they all had HDMI output). also it was only the arcade & pro versions that didn't have HDMI. all Elite console's (the black ones) had HDMI. not sure if those were in production from the start, though.

the early 600$ 20gb ps3's didn;t have wifi, so both consoles have made changes.
 
I'm going to have LIVE Gold for about a year so we should have plenty of time to play twztid :lol: I'll post about upscaling in your thread, the consoles have made too many changes I don't want to have to keep rebuying the same thing every other year ;)

Thanks for the bumps everyone!
 
Don't worry, if it comes to that, I'm gonna cut you in on profits. I'm sure there are women out there who have a Robin Williams fetish you can fill.
 
CML for War For Cybertron. Had it once before, so it's not a big want, but you can pick any category on my list, and maybe we can work something out.

FREE BUMP!

That's just for blu-rays, not games.
 
aaahhh painted figures. i forgot about those. we had 1 small hobby shop in my town and i would check there 2-3 times a week hoping they would have something new in. they got a shipment 4-5 times a yr and it was like christmas!!

yes kids this was in a long forgotten past where there was no ebay or on-line ordering.

a sad,sad era
 
My Uncharted 2 says 720p, not 1080p. It's NOT the GOTY edition if that matters any. It has all the resolutions listed, but 720p is highlighted. Regardless, still a beautiful game.

Yes, PS3 Transformers. Not sure if I want to part with Thundercats for it.

Always interested in PS1 games. I'm trying to collect games for that system more than any other right now (other than PS3). Been swapping out a bunch to get the ones I really want.

My wants for PS1: Parasite Eve 1 & 2, Final Fantasy VII (Black Label), Resident Evil 2 Dual Shock Version, Legend of Dragoon (Black Label). Those are the ones I can think of right at the moment.
 
[quote name='OldSchool77']about the upscaling of games, the first Uncharted is 720P but Uncharted 2 is 1080P and so is Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time according to the boxes. I didn't know that the 20GB PS3 didn't have WiFi those buyers were ripped off since my launch 60GB had WiFi, HDMI, 4 USB ports, and all the media slots and it was about $600 as well :lol: I remembered that there is a way to force the PS3 to upscale the games to 1080P but they didn't really look any better.

I did a little research into it and if the TV has a native resolution of 1080P then 720P signals fed to it are automatically scaled to 1080P using the TV's hardware. I guess the image quality just depends on the TV used since the people on the forums I was reading couldn't agree on whether to force 1080P or not. For the component cables it depend on the TV, some don't accept 1080P signals through it. I know the current and future TVs won't accept 1080P signals over component including those from a PS3 due to Digital Copyright protection:bomb:[/QUOTE]
we live in 2 different world's man. uncharted 2 on my ps3 from the day it released til the day i traded it (it's in my trade feedback) was in 720p. my tv is native 1080p. i tried the upscaling force on that game, and it looked hoorible. you are right about the box, though, as that's why i was major pissed. i got mine on release day so figured it was a misprint. put it in & go to any multiplayer or single player level, tap the 'guide' button on your native 1080p tv, and tell me what it says. i did this with 3 different tv's, all the same result.

also, i just tried my component cables for ps3 the other day when it was in the news that sony was doing away with component & HAD to use HDMI (which Sony clarified was only for BR). the only thing that won't work is blu ray on component cables (but my tv is 2 years old). i played the pixeljunk shooter 2 mp demo just fine in 1080p. i have the 80gb that was released at the same time as the mgs4 120gb bundle (i think that's the memory amount). it has 2 usb & no media slots.

the native 1080p tv that i have does not automatically upscale the 720p signals from the ps3. the 1080p games show up in 180p, and the 720p games show up in 720p. you can change settings on the ps3 that will force it to 1080p, but it looks way worse than the 720p did. on the other hand, EVERY signal that i get from my 360 is in 1080p and looks better than the same game on ps3 in every case i've tried it, and through every demo i've checked on both systems. none of them are actual from either system EXCEPT the god of war collection. it is native 1080p. the ps3 games have to upscale through software, that's why every game is different. gt5 is upscaled 1080p (i play forza so no need to try and race on a crappy controller), that's about it (never been interested in the R&C games, so count that one, even thought he back of the box is wrong for uncharted 2, lol). the 360 upscale is not crappy looking upscaling. it looks amazing. i was so disappointed seeing GTAIV on ps3 after playing it to 98.5% completion on 360 (over 100 hours, but a freakin' pigeon glitched on me so i couldn't get them all. that was the day my 360 almost learned how to fly).

you can see the difference with your eyes, bro. i don't have to rely on the 'info' or 'guide' button (but i do ALWAYS check to make sure i am right). i used to know everything about tv's until august '09 when i lost my job & wasn't around them 24/7. you might be right about the different tv's, but i know consoles just about as well as you know pc's & i'd be willing to bet anything that i'm right about the stuff in this statement (especially uncharted2, and it's by experience, not from some wiki that anyone can change, lol. i don't use those), BECAUSE if there's a patch that can make uncharted 2 1080p, and sony hasn't used that patch on every f'ing sony game. screw them. just screw them.

That's just for blu-rays, not games.[/QUOTE] I had originally read an article that said both weren't supported but it looks like now the article has been updated and the newer HD disc players are what's going to be limited. In other word to protect their IP they want to remove the component output on the players!

I usually read the new FCC listings or websites about copyright for technology info. I had read that the newer model PS3 can't output HD signals over anything but HDMI. I never trust wiki articles since they aren't a reliable source, I like to get info from slashdot and a few other tech sites too. I looked for an article about it and here's a link: http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/...hdmi-required-for-hd-video-only-not-games.ars

Hmm, I didn't go by a wiki but my TV and a few others I've dealt with do upscale. I wonder why some manufacturers upscale and some don't, it would make sense for them all to upscale since a lot of TV broadcasts are lower than 1080P. I agree about the forced upscaling I didn't like how it looked so I turned it off:lol:. Hardware upscaling vs software upscaling is moot to me since I mostly play on my PC and I can pretty much set the resolution to whatever I want.

I hope you wouldn't throw your 360 away over a little glitch, don't you do multiple saves so that you can go back in case that happens? I was on the NaughtyDog forums earlier and with a patch all three Uncharted games are 720P but are supposed to upscale to 1080i, never tried 1080i but I know I've downloaded the patches for the first two games:whistle2:k. There needs to be a list of all native 1080P games for both systems for people that have High Definition TVs

Thanks for all the bumps everybody :D
 
i did do MULTIPLE saves (only allowed for 12), but i was well into the game before i started doing the pigeon hunt (there are 200 that take about 40 hours just to find them all if you don't toch a single other thing in that game). i had 12 saves, but only like 4 or 5 were before the point i had started, and 2 were close to 20 - 40 hours back. i actually put in 180 hours on that game w/o the add ons. so of the 3 saves that were in the same district were already victim to this pigeon not being at the flight control tower at the airport.

it was more frustrating cuz i had put probably 60 hours into the game, then there was a new dashboard update (i think the one that added the avatars). i did it, and was late for work, so i thought it asked me to pick my profile, and it must've asked if i wanted to overwrite it, as it erased everything on my hdd. so the 180hrs i invested the AFTER going through much of the game again, i didn't touch a single pigeon, as i planned to do it by a guide & that would make it easier (i got 120 i think in my first attempt, but they were scattered everywhere, and that's what i devoted 90% of my time to, not doing the missions, etc., so when it made it impossible unless i replayed 40 hours of the game - where i'm not sure if it was glitched there or not cuz i had no access to the airport til later - i was the most mad i had ever been about a game).

i was never a controller thrower like some that play demon's souls, or whatever, as i played hard games all the time growing up. i'd cuss up a storm, and accuse the game of cheating to njo end, but never harm my precious gaming stuff. i was just trying to jokingly relay to you how mad i was.
 
Cowboy and aliens:
