Michgan-2004- August-October

YMDSLTSAC: Why dident you go to ohio? seams like you want to have a turny to make up for it… what up witht dat?

Unreal is good if you’re into the FPS game where you run 200 miles an hour, carrying about 50 weapons, and twitch to kill.

Robo, you need to check out this PS2 game called Katamari Damacy…it’s the shit. You roll a ball of stuff to collect more stuff, and animals, people, eventually buildings. Weird as fuck, but it’s fun.

Midway Arcade Treasures 2 looks good…I played it a bit at CGE last August. I hear the MK emulation is a bit off, but it’s otherwise a good package. Does the Xbox one have Live on the MKs? I don’t think so, but Midway didn’t give me a straight answer at the expo.

A lot of shit came up that last Saturday. I told some friends I’d watch the Mayorga/Trinidad encore fight with them.Also I got shit sleep from the previous night, and I just didn’t feel like spending a whole day travelling to and from a tournament.

I just decided to throw this tournament now, cause why not? Now is as good a time as any, anyway I had been thinking of throwing one for a while now.

I don’t know who you’re talking to, but both Mortal Kombats are straight. Whoever you’re asking is likely a fan of the recent ones whose memory is skewed. How it would be a good package with the 2 games worth a shit on the disc fucked up I don’t know. I have heard of people whose discs fucked up the audio though; mine doesn’t do that however. The game is “live aware” meaning you can be online while playing it, but not play it against people online. You can receive invitiations to other games and see what your friends are doing. It does not save NVRAM, so every time you play MK3 you have to unlock Smoke. (1090222234)

You all act like all I do all day is play UT. I don’t even have it installed. I played 2004 for about an hour the day it came out, and maybe a half an hour a week later showing people what had changed. I haven’t touched it since. I may have played 2003 for 16 hours a day every day at one time, but that was max a year, and the time between when that ended and 2004 came out was fairly large in comparison.

I’m just saying that its a bit odd that the progression of events went like this:

LTU has gatherings.
FNG people show up.
LTU is determined to be shit.
Everyone has fun at FNG.
Bullshit online cliques form. Team GET MONEY BITCHES and Team I AM A PRO GAMER BECAUSE THAT IS APPARENTLY SOMETHING TO RESPECT AND NOT JUST A SAD EXAMPLE OF A MAN WITH NO REAL TALENTS OR FRIENDS appear.
Team GET MONEY BITCHES denounces the values of Team PRO GAMER.
Non-participants say “to each his own.” in passive defense of Team PRO GAMER.
Team PRO GAMER shuns the defense of non-participants because THEY ARE NOT PRO GAMERS LIKE HIM SO THEY WILL NOT KNOW WHAT IT IS LIKE UP IN THA GAME DAWG. I’M ALL JOHN CHOI IN THA HIZZY FO SHIZZY, MAKIN IT BREAKIN IT AND QUAKIN IT AND THAZ NO FAKIN IT BOYEEEEE. PEOPLE WHO PLAY WITH A FOCUS ON FUN ARE WORTHLESS PIECES OF SHIT LIKE SOMETHING I SCRAPE OFF MY BOOT WHEN I REMOVE IT FROM YOUR MOTHER’S ASS AFTER SCAT-SWAPPING. IF YOU DON’T PLAY CVS2 YOU ARE A FAGGOT AND SHOULD SUCK MY DICK. I AM NOT GAY FOR SUGGESTING ANOTHER MAN SUCK MY DICK. YOU ARE A SAD SACK OF MAN IF GAMES ARE GAMES AND NOT A JOB TO YOU. TOP TIER!!!1! RUSHDOWN!!! WORLD HEROES PERFECT IS RIGHTFULLY MY GAME, I 0WN IT. YOU ARE EITHER A GERMAN OR CHRISTIAN YOU CANNOT BE BOTH. THE TOP PLAYERS IN MI WHO ARE THE ONLY PEOPLE I CAN POSSIBLE LEARN FROM IF I FIND TIME TO REMOVE MY LIPS FROM THEIR ASSHOLES ARE: TKK,VDO,STD,HIV,MC5,MST,EXE, PBRMEASAP AND MASKOFTHEREDDEATHVIPER. SOMEONE READ MY TWO PAGE DOUBLESPACED ESSAY ON THE SOULS OF WHACK FOLK.
Non-participants say "fine, whatever."
Random members of Team GET MONEY BITCHES suddenly side with Team PRO GAMER.
Non-participants for some reason take solipsistic opinions personally.
FNG cancelled.
“Hey, let’s play starcraft out of the blue.”

This is especially odd considering that CVS2 stayed on the fucking plate for over a year after it was determined that nobody new was coming in it; nobody wanted to hear shit about playing anything else. Now suddenly nobody’s interested in getting games together or some shit.

You forgot the group that plays Halo, slightly under the radar of the general public…

When did they say anything.

What’s new? Oh, nothing. Halo 2, 27 days pre-release. You know, the usual.

(Continued from above post)
“Hey, that’s great, man. Did you reserve your copy yet?”
“Nah, I’m just gonna walk in and grab a loose copy.”
"…Idiot."

Apparently it’s the PAL, french release of Halo 2. I don’t know how the Xbox deals with PAL, but I could see that being a pain in the ass to play on NTSC boxes.

What the hell are you talking about??

Since you are apparently unaware, the european version of Halo 2 got leaked, specifically, the french one. Europe uses the PAL tv format. The US uses the NTSC format. These both have different scanlines and colors, and each system handles this problem differently. Neo Geos, for example, have the television data programmed into them by region, with all 3 versions inside each cartridge. The Atari 2600 is essentially the same in all regions, with the tv data programmed into the carts, so that a PAL game would not work on an american tv. I don’t know how the Xbox handles the NTSC/PAL issue, so I don’t know if the euro Halo 2 leak will work on an american box, without some sort of region mod.

Oh yeah, Midway Arcade Treasures 2 has Wizard of Wor, Total Carnage, Spy Hunter 2, and Xenophobe. All of which are sweet as hell games worth looking into the pack for.

Wow. That sucks super-duper, dry salted monkey balls. I owe 8 bucks on my LE Halo 2, and I got a good mind to pay it off to secured y copy further. I actually found out soon after I poseted my above post, Uber. Look forward to seeing you in my crosshairs, man. Sucks to shoot at my own tits, but fuck it.

I want you all to understand this. This may be the funniest shit you ever see if you follow this link to this vid clip. This mofo is hardcore. He is Team Get money bitches, four Horsemen, and FNG crew rolled into one out cold muthafuca.

Wizard of Wor wuz da shizz.

“Warrior, you’re making me mad.” * As said by the Wizard should you get 3 double score dungeons in a row.*:cybot:

I don’t doubt Bill Gates himself is planning on assraping the guy who leaked the game in the first place. Since I don’t have a modded xbox, or a euro xbox, or a PAL tv for that matter, this doesn’t affect my plans to go ahead and get my copy on november 9th. It just means I gotta work to avoid any spoilers on the game, since I want to be surprised.

You better believe I’m lookin forward to playin that game on Live and at MetroMassu’s place, though. Brandon came up with the best Halo name ever last weekend, I may have to replace your tits with it.

Televisions have never had region coding; they have refresh rates. Any TV made in the last 10 years, perhaps even 15-20 switches between 50 and 60hz, and many even run at a denom. value to meet futureproof standards. Regioning is built into consoles, discs, and cartridges to keep markets separated. Any of you who’ve played Juiced with Diarra, Burnout 3 with me, Obscure, THUG2, and various other games have been playing PAL releases. The XBOX switches at the chip, much like the dreamcast used to do after it had been explicitly told to via startup menus. This is MS’ bullshit way of being able to sell the same hardware to 5 different standards (NTSC-U/NTSC-J/PAL/SECAM/HIGHSTAT, as if they’d ever bother with that)

NTSC/PAL used to be a big deal. It still is if you’re watching something on PAL that was made for NTSC and converted and vice versa. People who are all “I DON’T BUY PAL DVDS!” for movies are yutzes though, as the increased resolution on the disc as well as the fact that it comes from a source that completely outclasses all end user mediums anyway is preferrable for movies. But just for anal retentivity, I’d rather have a NuTSaC than a PAL.

This release also is a typical Euro9 multi-language, like Burnout was for those who got that recently from me (now I have both though; so you might just have the US one.) So English is a choosable language for movie subtitles and shit. It’s not like you’re all not going to buy it; you might as well play it early for multiplayer.

So robo up for some FNG tomarrow. If so i’ll come by after work.

Contrary to popular belief, those with modded Xboxes do buy games. Just the one they feel are worth supporting. Knowing what I know now, I would have never bought Fable. Rent, yes. Buy, no. Nowadays, very few companies make games worth $50. Sad, but true.

Hollow what are you blathering about.

Hollow is a pimp. Pimps don’t blather, they babble. :xeye:

Gerald, I haven’t decided if I’m having FNG 2morrow. I will post if I do.:cybot:
