[red ass skull muhfukkah]

Today at Game Stop I bought FFXIII, Star Ocean: The Last Hope, and Red Dead Redemption. I got FFXIII for free because of the buy 2 get one free deal they have. My only problem is what to play first? I'm thinking Red Dead because I've been dying to play it since it was announced, just never got around to getting it.

Then play RDR.


Also good morning gus. MTM you should have a nice shiny PM

 

[Muffin Top Merkley]

Reading it now.

 

[Muffin Top Merkley]

Good read. 250 words is hard to really get into much, but I appreciated the rise of young Lee's hopes as he found the perfect game, only to be crushed by how garbage the game was.

The morale of the story, Super Mario Kart saves lives.

 

[Lee]

Yeah 250 is not much to get into the swing of things at all. By the sounds of reading the rules you can put in a few entries, so I may do that.

 

[Muffin Top Merkley]

Any thoughts on the recent Playstation Hack?

 

[Lee]

Is this the dude who's gone to court?

 

[Muffin Top Merkley]

Not that I'm aware of.

Sony isn't even trying to put them in jail. All they want is all of his and the groups computers etc. (Probably so Sony can figure out how they figured it out the hack to prevent it in the future.)

Hackers gonna hack.

 

[Lee]

There was one I read recently, I thought the guy was going to court. Anyways the site I read it on shared my opinion:

Sony market their PS3 as a multimedia machine, ie one that can do everything a computer can, it's the consumers right to be able to put third party software on it (just like it is with a PC) and at the moment the only way to do that is through hacking.




Also new VGAT thread about Princesses.

 

[Muffin Top Merkley]

I'm not too concerned about the hack. I don't fully understand what it can do though.

Same with a hacked Wii. What are the possibilities?

 

[Lee]

No idea, my Wii is not hacked.

Oh, they know how it's done. Unfortunately, it allows custom firmware updates so they can't simply undo it with a new firmware update. I believe. I read about it. A lot of technobabble - algorithms and shit.

 

[The Doctor]

Sony claims the PS3 can do anything...and then they remove the option to install another OS onto it. How dumb is that?

A hacked Wii can play emulators, homebrew games, DVDs, multimedia stored on an SD Card, and can install Virtual Console games for free [Only really used for N64 games since the emulators for the rest of the systems are perfect), and much more.

 

[Lee]

Plays DVDs ey?

 

[The Doctor]

I think so. I haven't tried it myself, I mostly emulate and play homebrew on it.

Here's a great site for Wii-hacking info. http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Main_Page

I usually play my Wii for Mario Kart, SSBB and GBA games now. I'm stuck on whether to play Megaman BN Gregar 6 or Link's Awakening.

 

[Lee]

Links awakening (but only if you've played ALTTP)

 

[The Holy One]

It's been some years since I've played ALLTP. I remember that was one of the first games I played when my brother gave me his SNES. Good times, so is the sequel any good as the original?

 

[Lee]

The sequel is brilliant as well, nowhere near as good as ALTTP

 

[Uncle Sam]

Reading this thread makes me feel like I'm living in the future - it really does.

 

[The Holy One]

Well if it's anywhere near as enjoyable as ALTTP was then I'll like it, well I know what my Sunday will consist of if nothing else comes up.

 

[The Doctor]

Both BN6 and Link's Awakening are fantastic. BN6 is the only game in the BN series that can hold a candle to the second one in my opinion, and Link's Awakening is just...awesome.

 

[Lee]

DX is better slightly as I like the visuals more

 

[The Doctor]

Agreed, plus it has the extra mini-dungeon.

 

[Uncle Sam]

There is only one true BN:
