RockthePlank

Tell him I said Hi and I hope his movie doesn't suck. I was always more of a Batman kid when it came to DC, but who doesn't love Superman? Communist, that's who!

Freakazoid was cool it was as funny as the Animaniacs but Tiny Toons sucked I like Tiny Toons, it was good stuff. Potty go down the hoooole

I know I've been hearing a lot of smack about this project, but I am excited for it. I like Snyder's work, and I am interested to see his take on this. I loved 300, Dawn of the Dead, and Watchmen, so I don't see a problem with Superman, maybe he can breathe some life into the franchise.

Wow, that kind of sucks. The face looks pretty bad too. I am sure they spent a lot of time getting the body right, but really, that face just kills the likeness.

That is funny because I wanted to buy the hardened edition at my Best Buy and they sold out (as well as the carepackage) No big deal or anything, but it would have been cool.

I dunno, I guess I just love the franchise. Everytime I play, its a different game, I have different options and situations. Yeah its the same kind of situation, but I love the game. I can pick up a controller, play for 10 min, and be done and satisfied. Especially since it's made by different companies, the different incarnations feel different, to me anyway. Now I do get burned out on the games, but it takes a long while. It's fun to play and talk #$##, some people get really mad, some just laugh along. Half the fun sometimes is just pissing people off, they get really mad and talk about beating me up in real life, just kind of fun to hear people get serious about it. I was going to compare it to a new Madden coming out every year, but honestly I think Madden is worse, since its the same company every year making them. Madden is the worst offender for bringing, pretty much, the same game every year except for updated rosters, and some stupid "feature" that probably wont make it to the next game (I stopped playing Madden regularly after QB vision) Like I said, I do get burned out, but there is something really satisfying about shooting the tops of the heads of zombies, and I think COD has one of the easiest and intuitive controller setups, so for me, in the FPS genre, COD is THE game to play. (BTW, I love FPS) Speaking of which, FPSRussia anyone? Glad to see him on the Black Ops commerical with IronMan, I mean, Robert Downey Jr.

Let me know what system you get it for. I know Spystreak is getting it on 360, and we have played a few games together, not a bad player. I know I am getting it on ps3, and I am tempted to buy it on 360 as well so I can play with my brothers too. I kind of want to play Halo, but the controls are too different from CoD on an FPS for me to be able to adjust and play correctly. I am pumped to play though!

Lol, I kind of wanted to do the tournament, I dont think I would have won, but it would have been fun. I could tell my wife wasnt down for it so I didn't press. Havent played Dead Island, but Ive heard good things. There isn't an end or way to beat the zombies, its about endurance. My wife isn't into the whole zombies either, but she loves the multiplayer mode. Funny though, when I play zombies on black ops, I pref not to play with other people. They always have their own ideas and agendas, I always do much better playing solo. Ok, only 6 hours to go before I can leave...

So originally I wasn't going to go at midnite to get Black Ops 2, my wife usually has to be at work at 7am, so I figured that it wasn't a big deal and I could wait till today to snag it. Well when she came home, she said she traded shifts and wouldnt have to be at work till 10 because she wanted to go and get the game. So we went to bestbuy to buy a preorder so we get the stupid whatever for preordering, and the guy mentions that they are opening back up at 930 for a mini Black Ops contest, winner gets the game. We didn't intend to go, but for some reason my wife thought we could just go and buy the game at 930, so Im just sitting around in some ratty house clothes, no big deal, and she comes out all dressed and makeup applied at 930 saying she is ready to go an get it. I had to explain to her that no, you wouldn't be able to buy it till midnight. So to wrap it all up, she falls asleep at like 10 and I didn't bother getting the game. I am so ready to grab one after work. I need to play me some zombies!

Hmmm, not sure if I will get a Wii U. I hardly play the wii as it is, I can't really imagine anything, short of another Zelda game, to sway me to get one. Infact I haven't even thought about it till you posed the question, so unless it was super cheap, its a pass for me until I see something to change my mind. Haven't played Halo 4 yet, I don't even think I touch Halo 3, so I'll wait for it on redbox. BUT NEXT WEEK IS BLACK OPS 2! OHHHHHH YEEEEEEAHHHHHH!!!!! I had originally taken the day off of work so I could play it all day, but I had to switch days since my wife just had surgery and I needed to be there for that. Still, I am pumped and excited for it! Zombies! Oh yeah! Anyone else here getting Black Ops 2? If so what system?

Im down for it. I hope that means the quality in movies will go up too.

Damn! I'll need to look online for it, I missed it!

I had downloaded and was using SNEX, but I was having trouble with the widescreen, it just wasn't popping for me. I changed to ZSNES and I like it a lot more. I also had GENS but it wouldn't save my joystick setting correctly, so I changed over to Fusion and I like it a lot more. Fusion also has support for all the sega consoles up till Dreamcast. Pretty sweet bonus! I do have one minor issue with Project64, it lags, just a tiny bit, about every 15 seconds. I don't think it is a video issue, because nothing happens to the character for the second or so lag, I am thinking the issue is somewhere in the program it self, maybe I'll try tweaking some of the settings to get it to stop. I was able to run I bought this last week from ebay Can't wait till it gets here and I can play n64 the correct way! I'll let yall know how it works out.

Cox cable sucks hard! I called those guys 4 times to get them to come to my house to turn my cable and HD service on. On one of the calls, the woman whom I spoke with, before we even start to address my issue, starts telling me to sign up for their phone service. I told her not to waste her words because they couldn't even come to my house to give me their basic service. BTW, I don't live out in the woods or anything, I live right in the middle of town, neighbors all around, about 10 miles away from their main building. Anyhow, finally "guy" made it to the house the fourth time I asked for it. So I am not there, just my poor wife who couldn't even plug in the modem into the electrical socket (yeah... not good with tech) So the cable guy told my wife our house was too old for cable. Lol, too old for cable? She told him we had it two years ago, no problem, infact we even had the DVR service and currently still had their internet service. He gave my wife some excuse about the HD not being an option and that regular cable "probably" wouldn't work either. She asked the guy if he could leave a note or some kind of explanation for me and he told her no. Really? He told her we would need to recable the house. See COX cuts corners and they have independent contractors come out and do this, so they REALLY don't care if we get COX or not, they get paid the same. So no cable for RockthePlank! I could recable a section of the house, not a big deal, but they sound like they don't want my business at all. Piss poor! Satellites are out because I have a lot of HUGE trees around my house and neighborhood, At&t direct isn't available in my area either. I live in Gainesville, home of the gators, not like I live out in no where. Just frustrating! BTW, worst name for any company.

Lol, win95? Wow! I thought I was reaching back with planning on using XP. Ive been thinking about it, and I know I would want to do the pinball buttons on the sides, and I've been thinking about how it would be possible to add so sort of light gun or something, like area 51 or something. Listen to me, like I am anywhere near ready to do a project of this level. Ive never done anything as complicated as setting up the control panel, but there seems to be cheats and short cuts you can take with those. Im trying to work on a lean budget too, its the only way I can rationalize.

Well I tip my hat sir! Very nice, cool to hear you got an authentic screen. Ive seen some people use the fancy LCD's and such, but it just doesnt quite look right. I saw some pretty sweet setups, really makes me want to call my dad and ask him to help me since I know he'd have a lot of fun with it. My wife is all for it, but need to finish up some other stuff first. Does it just play mames or do you run other emulators with it too?

Very nice man! Did you make it all from scratch? Ive been watching a lot of youtube videos on it lately, its looks pretty much as easy as I thought. What MAME do you use?

cool and thanks for all your input guys! I ended up downloading Project64 and a bunch of titles I used to own. Honestly I don't really have any desire to play anything I didn't already have and play. Like I dont wanna play a random title. Anyhow, I went ahead and bought a USB adapter for the 64, so should have that any day now. My work is throwing out a bunch of windows XP computers I am going to try and snag. Evilhayato, lets see some pics of that arcade cabinet! I really want to build one myself, but I have other household projects I am already commited too already (I just finished the living room now I am redoing the bathrooms).

Na, I don't really hide it from her. At first I did, more for not wanting to be judged about how much I spend on figures, but that was years ago. Now she asks who he is and what is he from. There were times when my numbers were a LITTLE off, but that was back in the old Marvel Legends days. If anything she wants to know how much I spent so she won't feel bad telling me how much she spent (Forever 21)

Thanks for the input guys! I really do want to go the refurbished originals in the long run, but I think that will have to be a slow, and long going trail. I really want to originals for the whole throw back feel. I want to be able to just turn the Nintendo on and play it. I will probably end up doing both. Short term plan with the CPU in the living room, and long term systems. Space will probably be an issue, but if I get that thing Hamsterboy posted, I would probably be ok without having the offical systems (well, I will get a regular NES at some point, I just have to) Hamsterboy, that is pretty awesome! Ive never seen one that does Genesis games too, I think I will probably snag one to see how it works. Eric thanks for letting me know about those emulators, as soon as I scrap back together my old PC I will have to download those. BTW for the whole PC thing I will probably end up getting these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002YVD3KM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&smid=A2I76042RZDHYY http://www.amazon.com/Classic-USB-Super-Nintendo-Controller-PC/dp/B002JAU20W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1350785364&sr=8-1&keywords=usb+snes
