No, they heat up regardless of where you put them (I’m guessing less space for cooling), but a friend of mine had his kids leave his Slim PS2 on for 12+ and it works just fine.
Nothing to be concerned with.
Playing Lumines, DDS and Midnight Club 3.
Rise of the Kasai is shit. Cutscene animation is fucken good but the rest of the game is garbage.
MC3 > NFSU. Lumines is still addicting haha
The slimlines have no heat control at all. No fan or heat synchs.
good to know…mine was left on all night once and it is still working.
In other news I started playing DDS last night. Love the graphics and music so far (although the american singing is kinda lame). The battle scenes are weird to get used to because I’m used to going into battle as a regular human and then having the demon come out when you use spells. Their win animation is tight as hell though. I assume I’m not at the part where the mantra grid becomes available yet because I can’t seem to change mantras int he terminals. I also wonder why the camera doesnt auto follow you from behind in dungeons, but using the analog sticks works well. COntroller armor > you
It really doesn’t take long to reach the point where you can switch Mantras… As soon as you clear the first “dungeon” you get a couple of cutscenes and then you can change em.
Right know im playing chrono trigger for the playstation. Ive beat this game before but I wanna play it agin because its the best RPG ever
Eeeexcellent choice. :tup:
I’m torn on what to play. I have all these games I’ve started but haven’t finished yet (GTA: SA, Spider-Man 2, Katamari Damacy) and I know I should finish them but I want to play MMX8 so frickin’ badly. I need something to wash the taste of X7 out of my mouth and only a good MM game can be the cure.
BTW, anyone played MMX Command Mission? That baby is now $20 at EB Games and I’m thinking aobut pick it up eventually.
Oh, get it for PS2. After making a Command Mission save file on your memory card, then play the Optic Sunflower’s stage in X8. You’ll face a 2D, 8-Bit version of Cut Man at the end of the level.
persona 2 $37 bucks buy it now on ebay

This may not be new or anything, but I just bought Tekken5 and love the game playablity it has. Kudos to Namco!
Got jade empire today. The game is good so far. It is the most gruesome rpg I have ever played. Shit has people blowing up, bones being snapped and other gruesome stuff. Story is also really good so far.
Tekken 4’s turtle AI is really getting on my nerves. It can also be cheap at times. The AI knows every flipping unblockable too. :mad:
But I found that I do like Steve Fox. I hardly ever take to boxing characters in fighting games but this dude is pretty tight. Once I beat Story Battle with everyone, I’ll move on to some Practice and Survival mode play. I was happy to know that Julia is in Tekken 4… and she’s still as good/deadly as ever.
Gonna get back into Spidey 2. If I can just tear myself away from the all the web-slinging, I can beat this game.
tekken 4 has AI? :wtf:
Playing Contra Shattered Soldier , Doom 3 , And FFX in that order every few hours every day, i cant put those 3 games down, next on my list is timesplitters 2 and pikmin, they are both sealed and havent been touched yet, i bought em like a year ago. got lots of work to do ;-;. Also tales of symphonia hasnt been opened either…i hear its fun.
So you’ve played MMXCM? How good is it? I’m thinking about getting it next week when I pick up Viewtiful Joe 2.
5hrs in on DDS, figuring out which mantras to buy is pissing me off haha. The field hunt in the maribel base pissed me off, 2 of the guys ran off thus neglecting me of precious $ and magic xp. fuckers!
PG, how far you in?
Actually, I rented it just so that I could make that save file and fight Cut Man. I’m not an RPG fan, personally.
Also, VJ2 is not as good as the first one. It isn’t terrible, but there are just several glaring ommissions (like secret characters), and overall it just doesn’t ooze with style like the first. IMO the wit and humor is lacking as well.
Yes^ The lack of secret characters is probably the main factor that helped VJ 2 kill off a lot of the series’ potential for longevity. There are 2 bosses in particular…one of which was the final one(the “Emperor”), where my first thought was…“it would be SO tight if he was playable!!”. And did Capcom/Clover deliver on that…? Something that was an established expectation from the first game? Nope…the bastards. Yeah, I’m still bitter about this. In fact, if my “computer geek powerlevel” was much higher, I would actually take the time…and find a way to FORCE the game to allow me to play as the “Emperor”, and Miss Rachel as a team. Even if it took months…or even a year to figure out, it would be worth it to me.
dammit…even though I have a job now, I STILL can’t afford to buy Doom 3 on top of Unreal Championship 2…yes, I’ve heard all the disappointed commentary regarding D3…I still want it anyway. It’s just a much prettier version of the old game, I realize that…plus, it actually comes with the old games if you get that collector’s edition, or whatever they call it. I cannot pass this up.
*completely off-topic: some of these girls on W.I.T.C.H. are really hot…it’s actually a surprisingly good show too, for a “girl show”.
Got another game for my Super Famicom.
Macross: Scrambled Valkyrie.
OMFG! Best fucking Japanese Super NES shmup ever! Music is awesome. Stage 1’s music fits the stage’s setting perfectly.
It’s hard as hell too. Die one time and it’s Game Over. Bosses have insane patterns, and the stages themselves have enviormental hazards, like one segment of stage 1 has black holes that compress gravity and makes it harder for your ship to move. But you can change the ship in 3 forms, one of them can somewhat withstand gravity compression.
I just finished Doom 3 the other night, and it took me a few weeks, playing a few hours here and there when I get a chance.
I want to get Timesplitters and God of War next.
