  1. I don't care really. Windows is windows, and games are on Windows. Does that mean I'll be getting Windows Vista? Yes, but am I paying for it? No, is it going to be legit? Most likely.
  2. What? Oh, I dunno about that, but because they are almost all women on the team and they have tendencies to produce stuff for the female crowd, I just call them that because it's funner and more rewarding.
  3. "I am One" by The Smashing Pumpkins. Or as I like to call this song, ANGRY IAN GUITAR
  4. x300 with 64mb... does not compute... ... ... I'm upgrading my video card to the newly released GeForce 7800 GS because 1) PCI-E still isn't the standard and 2) Because I have an overclocked 9800 Pro thats been living under massive amounts of cooling...and it's old. Problem is, it isn't even out in Canada yet according to my sources.
  5. lol! my mom doesn't allow me to play because it's a form of gambling. But I do it anyways. Google came up with some results http://www.soyouwanna.com/site/syws/mahjong/mahjong.html That being the most notable. Very simple!
  6. REDMOND, Wash., Feb. 9, 2006 – The video games industry's "story of the year" for 2005 is growing even more compelling early in 2006, as Nintendo today announced major new initiatives for its hot-selling Nintendo DS™ portable game system. In a matter of weeks: DS owners will sample free games simply by visiting their local game retailers; players will enjoy live, real-time Wi-Fi voice interaction with their portable game play; the 1 millionth DS owner will log onto Nintendo® Wi-Fi Connection, Nintendo's wireless gaming service; and a new lighter, brighter DS will make its debut in Japan. Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo of America's executive vice president of sales & marketing, announced the new DS features during his keynote address today at the Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences' D.I.C.E. conference in Las Vegas. "Nintendo DS was the only video game system that exceeded expectations in 2005, simply because it dared to be different," Fils-Aime said. "By further enriching the ways in which players can compete, play and sample new games, that process is accelerating in the opening weeks of 2006." Here are the details announced at the D.I.C.E. conference: DS Download Service: Starting next month, Nintendo will offer all DS owners free downloadable game demos and other downloadable content at thousands of participating retail locations around the United States. An in-store kiosk will beam wireless demo versions of games and other downloadable content into a players' Nintendo DS system. Users simply stop by the store with their Nintendo DS, click "DS Download Play" on their system and choose one of a variety of DS games they want to sample. The game will download automatically and users can play all they want (even if they leave the store) until the Nintendo DS is turned off. Sequentially, players can try out as many games as they want, letting them test drive the wide array of games that can only be played on Nintendo DS. The first DS Download Service stations will include free demos of Tetris® DS, Brain Age™: Train Your Brain in Minutes a Day, Mario Kart® DS, Meteos™, True Swing Golf and Pokémon® Trozei, along with a Metroid® Prime Hunters video clip. The selection of games and other downloadable content at DS Download Service kiosks will refresh quarterly. Metroid Chat: The new Metroid Prime Hunters game for Nintendo DS will give gamers the ability to chat directly with one another before and after matches played via Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection. Players in North America simply click the chat icon and say what they have to say. The microphone of the Nintendo DS picks up voice communication and transmits it to the people on their friend list. Players can use the chat function before a match to agree on settings or after a battle to relive their glories. This Teen-rated first-person adventure arrives March 20 and promises to open a dramatically fun new facet of gaming to Nintendo fans. Nintendo DS Momentum: Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection now boasts more than 20 million different connections, representing more than 850,000 unique users worldwide. Nintendo DS has enjoyed extremely strong sales worldwide, selling more than 14.4 million units worldwide through December. The Japanese sell-through of the existing Nintendo DS hardware exceeded 5 million within 13 months, which made Nintendo DS there the fastest-selling video game launch ever. In addition to Metroid Prime Hunters, Tetris DS also launches March 20. Using Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, up to four players can compete in wireless two- or four-player Tetris DS battles against friends or strangers, near or far. Nintendo DS Lite: The lighter, brighter Nintendo DS system goes on sale in Japan next month. Nintendo DS Lite is about two-thirds the size of the original Nintendo DS and more than 20 percent lighter. Its availability in other regions will be announced at a later date. The worldwide leader and innovator in the creation of interactive entertainment, Nintendo Co., Ltd., of Kyoto, Japan, manufactures and markets hardware and software for its popular home and portable video game systems. Each year, hundreds of all-new titles for the best-selling Game Boy® Advance SP, Nintendo DS™ and Nintendo GameCube™ systems extend Nintendo's vast game library and continue the tradition of delivering a rich, diverse mix of quality video games for players of all ages. Since the release of its first home video game system in 1983, Nintendo has sold more than 2 billion video games and more than 360 million hardware units globally, creating enduring industry icons such as Mario™ and Donkey Kong® and launching popular culture franchise phenomena such as Metroid®, Zelda™ and Pokémon®. A wholly owned subsidiary, Nintendo of America Inc., based in Redmond, Wash., serves as headquarters for Nintendo's operations in the Western Hemisphere.

  7. No way! I fully plan to play UT2007 with my current 6600GT. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> NOT IF YOU LIKE PLAYING AT 800x600 ON LOW.

  9. One of the main reasons why I want it on PC is custom content. Which is for free. Various problems with Halo PC was the lack, of well, anything in particular. Until we got CE (Custom Edition for those non geekheads who didn't give a damn about Halo PC).
  10. Halo 2 coming to Vista Posted: February 9, 2006 @ 9:02 am (4 hours, 18 minutes ago) By: Major Nelson Not many details (ummm…release date?) but here is the press release that just went out a few moments ago. Master Chief Dual-Wields His Way to Windows Vista “Halo 2,” the award-winning sequel to the instant classic “Halo: Combat Evolved” to make its PC debut on the Windows Vista platform ”Halo 2,” the game that redefined first-person combat and multiplayer action for millions of gamers worldwide, is set to explode onto PCs exclusively for Windows Vista. ”Halo 2” for Windows Vista will be developed by a dedicated Microsoft Game Studios team in partnership with Bungie Studios. Only for Windows Vista, “Halo 2″ will offer gamers both the single-player campaign and multiplayer experience of the original, as well as the additional maps offered in the “Halo 2 Multiplayer Map Pack.” Gamers will also have the exciting opportunity to build, create and customize their own multiplayer levels. “Halo: Combat Evolved” and its sequel, “Halo 2,” have achieved phenomenal success on the Xbox video game platform as gamers around the world follow the saga of Master Chief in his battle against the Covenant forces. In 2003, the original “Halo” roared onto Windows PCs. In “Halo 2” for Windows Vista, the action picks up where the first game ended. Master Chief, with the help of a small group of marines, has destroyed the religious artifact and artificial world known as “Halo,” and is making his way back to Earth. There, he and the last surviving Earth forces will mount a titanic struggle against the marauding Covenant enemy. To date, the Halo franchise has sold more than 14.5 million games worldwide with over 600 million hours of multiplayer action logged across Microsoft’s Xbox Live online gaming service.

  11. When you hit them with the HP in the air, they flip back, and when they land you can hit em with a Hyate or something else. Timing is tight if you want to follow up with 2 or 3 Fukiages, you also have to do them the other way. If they are going to land on the left side of the screen, you have to Fukiage as if you were on the right side of the screen.
  12. Knowing Makoto's game relies on landing a Karakusa can lead into very dangerous results against an unknowing opponent. Espeically if you have 2 Stocks with her Abare-Tosanami (SAII) Super Art. One of the basics combos is; Land a Karakusa around the middle of the screen > HP > SAII > dash under and start doing Fukiages > Super jump into a HP causing a reset. This one is a little more tricky, but it can lead to 100% stun on most characters causing you to follow up with another Tosanami. Karakusa > HP > SAII > dash cancel > Fukiage twice > super jump cancel > Tsurugi leads into a stun > (you can do Karakusa > HP again then go right into)SAII! = 100% Combo, varified. I've done this many of times in practice mode, but did it only once, and that time only, was when I was in the Philippines against some locals. Now, THAT is humilation. Winning via Perfect and 100% combo. These combos are just the jist of it. Practically very basic for any Makoto user. Her strength isn't into hitting you with as much moves as possible, but her ablity to stun characters in the least amount of time with small, but damaging combos.
  13. For the very little that I've played SFIII, I have to agree with this. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not sure about Makoto, but I have seen some very good Ibuki player yesterday. I just know Ibuki has some cool link combos! Oh, I practised on Hugo yesterday and managed to own someone 6 wins in a row. Can't weait for the Elena rematch <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Pretty much everyone can agree that Makoto is a powerhouse after finding out that one of her basic SA2 combos can lead to a 100% combo on certain characters and causing as much as 90% on others.
  14. No, 5 units of the actual system. They don't seem like prototypes. Their all the same unit w/ serials
  15. Engadget. We will wonder how did Engadget get not one, not two, but FIVE DS lites. Checkout the link for a wrap around on the unit. Let the comparisons begin. **Update on source on the pictures** They are taken from the FCC's approval process for the system. Shots of the system are now publically avaliable on the FCC's site.
  16. Les boarderline it like TV. Just before the nip shows.
  17. WRONG! All the same people did the voices, save for the guy who did Grey Fox/The Ninja. It's done by a different person and sounds terrible. The voiceovers were also completely redone and for the most part have far less polish to them than they did in the original, much less feeling put into the work and you can definitely hear it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I know, that was the ONLY addition. Hubasus.
  18. Voices are the SAME GOD DAMN PEOPLE.
  19. Holy Trinity = Chun-Li\Ken\Yun In that order. Ibuki + Makoto > Everyone in the game. I'm living proof.
  20. 1. Hype PS Online like crack 2. Everyone buys it 3. After buying it, everyone feels cheated 4. ??? 5. PROFIT!
  21. DMC3 is coming to PC? I mean thats good if it is, but the SE still isnt confirmed for PAL yet. I mean... wtf... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yup. Ubisoft has struck a deal with Capcom and is bringing RE4, Onimusha 3, and DMC3. http://www.evilavatar.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9350 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Said games are going to be released in Europe because well, they don't like PAL.
