General Chat / Is this a good television?

« on: September 30, 2007, 09:48:04 PM »

Fry's is having a sale for the Empprex HD3230.  It's a 32" widescreen, and I'm wondering if it is any good for gaming.  I've never heard of the Emprex brand before, and a search on cnet yielded no results.  The price for the set is $397, which makes me more cautious about getting it.  Can a HDTV be any good at that price?

Can any tech savvy people offer their advice please.  If it is any good, I would like to get one before the sale ends.

Thanks!

General Chat / UncleBob! I have your Zelda OOT!?!?

« on: November 02, 2006, 08:20:19 PM »

In preparation for TP, I've decided to play through as much of the Zelda series as I can.  Well, I've recently borrowed a friend's N64 copy of OoT.  I booted the game up, went to the file selection screen, and what name do I see? UncleBob.

Maybe it is the name of the UncleBob from this forum, or there's somebody else out there by the same name.  I was just wondering if it was the former, or the latter.  The file has all the hearts found, and is at the end of the game.  I will take a snapshot of the screen if you want.

I just found it amusing, so I'm posting this to see what's up.

Nintendo Gaming / Lost Magic - New Wifi game from Nintendo?

« on: March 07, 2006, 08:05:02 AM »

I skimmed through the site and couldn't find any mention of this game anywhere, so I thought I'd just post this here.

Over at NintendoWifi.com, there's a page for a Wifi-enabled game called Lost Magic.  Here's a little snippet from the site.

Quote
Peace in the world is challenged by a new evil force. The only hope lies with the wizard Isaac and the seven magic wands left behind by the creator. Time to experience strategy like never before!

Monsters wield unimaginable power, and you will use the stylus to unleash magic spells and command numerous squads of monsters in magical real-time strategy battles. Control your monsters using an interface similar to one PC strategy gamers have enjoyed for years.

This sounds interesting to me, but I've never been able to get into RTS games.  I might still get it because I have to start somewhere, just like I had to with Fire Emblem -- one of the best games ever!

Edit: Nevermind.  I've just checked IGN's site and the game is developed by Taito, and published by  Ubisoft.  Why is this game missing from PGC's release dates?

General Gaming / Calling all Street Figher fans

« on: February 24, 2005, 01:59:23 PM »

Capcom has released the Live enabled Street Fighter Anniversary Collection yesterday and I was wondering if anybody here will play it.

I bought it and played it for a while and got my ass kicked many times over. Maybe I was fighting against the Reggie.  It has been a long time since I've played Street Figher and the lag is unbearable at times, but it's still fun.

Anyways.... are there any here that would like to have a challenge (haha)?  The Live name I'm using right now is LA Loser until I get my own... maybe.

Nintendo Gaming / Problems while playing Donkey Konga

« on: February 17, 2005, 11:06:12 PM »

I picked up a used copy of Donkey Konga with the bongos for $31.00 from Game Crazy yesterday.  After a while of playing, I realized that I start focusing on the moving circles so intently that I get a little disoriented.  It seems as if the whole room is moving.  This is especially noticeable when I play on harder settings and the circles move faster.

Has anyone else ever experienced this problem?  This is the first time this have ever happened.

Another thing... now that I've got the bongos, I'm really looking forward to the release of DK Jungle Beat  If I'm not mistaken, it should come out sometime in March, right?

General Gaming / Shenmue MMO coming

« on: August 04, 2004, 09:25:46 PM »

According to an article at GameInformer, Sega will be releasing a Shenmue MMO game in 2005 for the PC.  This makes me sad. Why couldn't they have spent the time making a sequel to Shenmue II?  Why, oh why?

Oh well, I would just about jump at any chance to revisit the world of Shenmue.  Xiuying is HOT!!
