I actually do vacuum it out once a month and it's been running smoothly since the day I bought it over three years ago.
To tell the truth I'm more fanatical about taking care of this machine as opposed to previous consoles I owned; it has to do with dropping $500 to purchase it. That and also if it did break I'd have to not only have to drop another $300+ to get a new one, but would have to bring the PS2 back into the living room.
My nephews have never cleaned thei...
I have a real, legitimate question: is overloading a website with data requests and posting information about people on Craigslist and other sites their plan of attack? I don't know how serious you can take them when what they are doing a novice user can perform by doing tweaks in Firfox.
I'm not being snarkey or anything, but if they are really wanting to "take down big evil corporations" these mosquito-like attacks will do nothing but cause minor inconveniences to ...
I completely agree about the price of cars; I had to play the game for about 25+ hrs racing the Indy Speedway race where you got about 100,000 cr. for winning just to afford the Ferrari P4 Race Car and then when I got to the 20,000,000 spot, it told me that was the limit and I couldn't have anymore money.
To tell the truth, while I love the P4 Race Car, performance wise the Enzo, McLaren F1, or a many others will give you way better performance for your $$$; I'm pretty sure it...
You know, one thing that I find the most interesting about this site is how backwards it's become. This site is supposed to be about gaming news, not about flame wars.
I've been on this site since 2008 and I used to spend an hour or so sifting through the gaming news daily, however today that task only takes me about 10-15 minutes due the dearth of any real gaming news at all.
I see the people complaining all of time about stories that are pure drivel and are written ...
I dunno about "most important;" I've been doing just fine without owning any of those three for the last six years.
Excellent, seems pretty painless. I only hope that it imports it into my garage and not just to the arcade side of the game. I've been hearing rumours that the cars that you have on the PSP will only be available in arcade mode; if this is true I will not be happy. That was one of the main reasons that I bought the PSP game in the first place.
"It's labeled as work, not play."
I think you have summed up one of my major issues that I have with many games recently. Rather than having fun you have to spend countless hours grinding to get through a game. Now, I like playing challenging games, but when you have to sit there are do the same monotonous task(s) over and over to accomplish something it becomes work, not play. I have literally had to force myself to finish some game due to the mind-numbing char...
Here is my list:
My intending to finish soon pile:
Assassin's Creed II - Just need to get back into it.
Enchanted Arms - Love the game, but bought it at the same time as a few other games that took my attention away.
Folklore - A game I have played off and on for a few years now and really need to finish it.
Fallout 3 - Again, just need to get back into it.
Grand Theft Auto IV - Unlocked the final island and mostly play freestyle no...
True, I totally spaced that caveat.
The question that I have: would it be a benefit to an 80gb software backwards compatible system? Tekken Tag and Drakken: The Ancient Gates are essentially unplayable on my 80gb Motorstorm system. Some others titles have a few minor glitches, but nothing terrible. I also wonder if they would put a memory card slot on this box? It would free up an extra usb port and you wouldn't have to buy the $15 adapter.
Might have to look into it when it comes out.
Haven't purchased a Madden game since '09. I have seen and played subsequent versions, but nothing I have seen has made me feel like "pulling the trigger." At this point I have barely seen anything aside from updated rosters to make me want the new version. Yes, the graphics and some game play are slightly improved, but to me it basically is the same game I have in my shelf.
What I am really waiting for is another game to compete with Madden to hopefully spur some ad...
I don't care what these internet "journalists" say, I am buying this the night of the release.
I have my doubts concerning his theory. A little bit ago I was trying to think of how many imaginary people I have killed in my 25+ years of video gaming. When I sat down to think of it I am sure it is well over 500,000-1,000,000, however, in real life my count is 0. Now I am not saying I am a representative of the video gaming population.
The top 5 reasons I personally bought a PS3:
1. Backwards compatibility: My PS2 died after about eight years of service. Rather than buying another one, I decided to upgrade and join the next iteration with one that could still play my older games. (At the time I bought mine it was still a major feature).
2. Being able to join the "next generation" of video games.
3. The franchises that I like were on or going to be on the PS3.
For the Mac I recommend the Kega Fusion Genesis emulator; it is the best I have ran across. You can find it easily in a Google search.
For me personally it would have to be Alundra 2. It cannot even hold a candle to the original; they didn't even have Alundra in it. I still have the game though, I guess some day it might be worth something.
Here is my opinion on motion controls for what it's worth:
I wouldn't be too worried about massive adoption for the main reason that not every PS3 and 360 in the world will have the controls unlike the Wii, which is built around them. When a Wii game is made, the software company is assured that the game is accessible to the entire userbase. Now if the NATAL and Move take off and say it penetrates %25 to %40 of the userbase on each console then you might see adoption and a move toward m...
Nice read.
Personally, I do read the professional reviews to figure out what the game is about and what to expect as far as gameplay. However, if I am not completely sure about my purchase I read the reviews from the average consumers who have bought the game with their own money; I find these reviews to be spot on most of the time. Yes, there are biases in these reviews as well, but they are always glaringly obvious. As far as the professional reviewers I have an easier time believing ...
Why don't they just start new accounts off in the open zone only for X amount of time and/or X amount of posts. You could also limit bubble giving/taking privileges, and approvals/reports of articles while this account is under "probation." Then the account user could petition the moderators to be allowed to the gamer zone. I agree with TrailerParkSupervisr about the three strikes; three written warnings could be given and you are permabanned into the open zone and privileges revoke...
I'm of two thoughts on this whole thing; yeah in the past I would have no problem with people moding their consoles or the such. However, today with all of the consoles being connected and monetary transactions going on online it has opened up a totally new area of concern for me personally.
While I'm sure that you are one that uses such custom firmware for only the noblest of purposes, can you vouch for everyone else? That's the problem with CFW, there is no one policing ...
