They're two separate communities.

We'll see how things go with phpBB, I've already put up some security. If things don't go so hot -- I'll end up going with IPB or vBulletin.

Hey, just wanted to get this link out in the wild. My IRC friend Sliver X was unable to pay for his hosting/domain and was going to let it die forever. I decided to pay for it for him and in the process I've spruced it and its forums up. The web site is Panicus.org -- "an emulation community". Some of the ROM hacking and emulator development scene's most popular people are hosted here or were at one time. Sliver X himself created Dragoon X Omega (a Final Fantasy hack done with his friend Thaddeus). I've turned Panicus.org into an "emulator hub"... hoping to function how Zophar's Domain once did. We're going to try to keep our emulator database as up-to-date as possible and filled with the greatest emulators! When I bought the domain, I deleted the old forum system (it was using SMF) and upgraded to phpBB -- you can see it here: Forum Panicus. Don't be afraid to register and post! The Panicus.org family hopes to breathe of new life now that we're a public site. Also, I'm extending an offer of free web hosting to anyone working on an emulation project! You get http://yourname.panicus.org and your own e-mail like: yourname@panicus.org.

I beat Fable: The Lost Chapter for PC in like 10 hours... and I don't play RPGs much...

If you don't have any grudges about 2D experiences... you should play Tibia. I've played it for yeaaaars...

Local PC places are even worse about trying to sell you crap you really don't want and/or need because it's money right into THEIR pockets -- not their company's.

Windows Vista seems better for me. I do a lot of video/audio encoding/decoding... but I don't play modern PC games. At the very end of the article we have an informative closure... So, don't judge too harshly. We know that we can turn off indexing services and the sort for better performance. Every system needs to be tweaked to get the full potential out of its operating system and hardware.

I've been playing King of Fighters '96 and Metal Slug on my Sega Saturn a lot recently. I just tried Asuka 120% Burning Fest. Limited -- that game has a ridiculous learning curve/difficulty... even on the easiest mode.

You might want to check out Doom9.net (they have guides and the sort).

Such as?

If games weren't challenging, they wouldn't be games, they'd be mindless tasks to increase numbers (like grinding on most MMORPGs).

Theres too much of this "Liscenced to you" BS, even on hardware. NO! If I bought it, it's MINE! F**K you! ^ I totally agree with that, IJTF_Cinder.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who sucks at Metal Slug -- I thought I was one of the few or something.

Mega Man (the whole series) Metal Slug (the whole series) Super Mario (the whole series) every Atari 2600 era game... almost all shoot 'em ups... iunno... it's more like... what select few games I do good at. I really enjoy playing video games though?

These are the games I think I've absolutely mastered... Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Sega Genesis) Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (Sega Genesis) Sonic R (Sega Saturn) Streets of Rage 2 (Sega Genesis) Street Fighter Alpha 3 (Arcade) Zillion (Sega Master System) Crash Team Racing (Sony Playstation)

You'd think someone running a forum-based web site would read other forums' rules before posting.

Marvel Super Heroes Vs. Street Fighter for Sega Saturn Saturn Bomberman Fight!! for Sega Saturn Pocket Fighter for Sega Saturn I got my Action Replay 4M Auto Plus in the mail finally the other day -- so, I've pretty much been playing any game that requires 1MB-4MB RAM expansion on my Sega Saturn, such as... Metal Slug, Samurai Shodown IV: Amakusa's Revenge, Waku Waku 7, Astra Superstars, Vampire Savior, and craploads of other games.

Hah @ yesterday's release being the last release!

Paid for Guild Wars -- wasn't aware of the undialupfriendliness of it... left it to sit and rot -- I was too lazy to return it.

Agreed on a new not so f'n queer Castlevania title. Also, a proper sequel to Crash Team Racing would be nice.

Why is this torrent client always posted about?

I'm glad the most modern game that's played on my PC is The Sims 2 (by my girlfriend, got it for her for Christmas). The only PC game I play is Unreal Tournament: Game of the Year -- I played World of Warcraft for a while -- but quit. I mostly just emulate old consoles and the sort. I rock a ATi Radeon 9200 Pro.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4 - This would need to be done the right way.. not like Sonic Advance and all those other games. A simple 2D sidescroller done like how Sonic was in his golden days. Complete with the (in continuation) line-up of Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles back for another adventure against Dr. Robotnik. Hell, even a game in the style of Pandemonium would be perfect. NiGHTS into Dreams... 2 - Let's face it -- the first one pushed the Sega Saturn to amazing heights (graphically at the time and with a gameplay revolution). The game came out of the dawn of 3D exploration and did just that... and now that it's fully matured -- I would like to see what the Sonic Team could really accomplish with its old pet project.

I listen to progressive rock, classic rock, alternative rock, indy rock, psychedelic rock, hip-hop, and rap.

- Getting Super Sonic in Sonic 2, Sonic 3 (& Knuckles), and Sonic R. - Getting the Apple and J.J. in Zillion (as well as the final Zillion gun power-up). - Getting all the craziest combinations armor, weapons, etc. in Castlevania: Symphony of the Night and Dracula X: Nocturne in the Moonlight. I can't think of any more at the moment.
