  1. so according to an Xbox achievement I'm a black ops 2 master after beating the game on hardened

     

    But I never see you on multiplayer!

     

    BTW, I got your request on my 360 for joining your youtube something? I really wasnt sure what it said, and I didnt see anything in the messages. WTF does that request you sent mean?

  2. and faithful Ghostbusters fans still wait for their free repainted mini figure...

     

    thanks, Matty

     

    Ha! I had the same thought! Man, these Slimers have got to be made from real ectoplasm judging by the time it's taken them to make them. They've almost got enough slime to start making them...

  3. Nobody asking this so I will...

     

    Why does he have kuffs on?

     

    So people will look at the poster and say "Why does he have cuffs on?"

     

    Like it said in the article, either he is framed for something or is taking the fall for something, either way, its all in the "Good Guy Gets Arrested in Comics" handbook

  4. Don't like it! he's missing his red trunks, he has gaunlets, the cape is too long, the texture of the costume looks off, the blue is too dark and he doesn't have the curl, I'm immediately filing this under: it's gonna suck.

     

    P.S. This movie is not gonna be as great as the Dark Knight.

     

    Lol! This is exactily what I mean! People just hate without seeing the finished project. It's like saying "your painting sucks" after just a few brush strokes. Artist are very picky over their works. Most of the time, they don't like showing a work in progress because of unfair conclusions that get made. Not sure if you are being serious or not Belmont, but you can't go into a movie with the thinking "it's gonna suck" or else you will never be able to get beyond that. Who knows, this movie could be awesome! Yeah they changed some things, but they "changed" things for the Batman movies, and those came out pretty nice.

  5. 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.

  6. It seems like everywhere I go, the special editions of games hardly ever sell. I remember buying Halo 3 with the Spartan helmet for 49.99. And I see those other special editions collecting dust until they get reduced. I'm pretty sure I could walk in to most any store around here and get that Hardened Edition.

     

    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.

  7. 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.

  8. Dead Island is a pretty sweet Zombie FPS with alot of fun focus on melee. Its a pretty amazing game if you are a fan of zombie games. I dont really mind the zombies mode in COD but out of all the other zombie games and modes out there, its not as good. I think playing with friends that are like minded and have a well thought out plan of attack is key. Playing solo is rough and playing with people that just want to do their own thing is just as bad. If you have people guarding each quadrant it makes for an effective way to get through it. You do actually beat the levels though. They do have an end. The early ones I dont believe did but once they included it in the second game they had ends to it and alot of easter eggs as well. I actually have black ops zombies on my iphone as well but i have yet to really play it.

     

    You know this is the first time in a while im actually tempted to buy a halo or call of duty game. Ive never been that big into halo altho i had alot of fun back when 1 and 2 came out before it got far too hyped. Ever since then the halo games have really been lackluster to me. This new one intrigues me but im still hesitant. With COD they have just pumped out way too many and flood the market however after last year when i decided to go with BF3 instead i was horribly disappointed and found myself missing cod. I played MW3 and found i wasnt missing much. HOWEVER, this BO2 actually looks to be pretty awesome and COD has been the only game me and my older brother mutually play together. Hes gotten out of games for a while but COD was the only game he actually likes and still plays. Leaning more towards BO2 this time just because of that alone. There are potential big life changes for me coming up so we ll see how that goes before i can make up my mind.. (also lets see if black friday and cyber monday deals bring the them to a nice delightful price)

     

    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!

  9. hahah that suuuuuuccks... i was expecting you to say you went and won the game from all that buildup... ha. If you want to play good zombies, play dead island! ha. Im sure their new iteration of zombies mode is good tho. I heard it was some what free roaming. I never liked the cod zombies mode that much. mostly because you have to open up other areas while blocking others but most of the time you cant block them off if you expand the area and eventually die. It also might be that ive only really played with a maximum of 2-3 players usually just me and another person half the time. Ive never actually beaten any zombies mode levels before sadly.

     

    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...

  10. 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!

  11. 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?

  12. 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.

  13. 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.

  14. 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.

  15. Thank you good sir. Yeah mean and a budy of mine made it all from an idea. This was back '02. It wasnt as big a thing as it is now where all these sites are profiting off of making them for anyone. It was pretty time consuming not going to lie. My friend looked up common specs of the cabinet and we bought some wood and cut them all to spec, painted them and trimmed them and put it together. We originally took out the tube of an S Video tv and attached it to the inside but it was alittle unstable and a bit unorthodox. My friend found out about this arcade manufacturer where we bought a legit tube that was encased and had all the right specs to fit. It looks really awesome in it. The mame im running on it is fairly old but plays all my favorite 2d Fighters and fav arcade games. I think its .86 but i cant remember exactly.

     

    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?

     

     

     

  16. 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).
