Of course, the way things look in a video is often different than how they actually are in person.
So what you really want to play is PlanetSide 2. Basically Battlefield Future Online PC Gaming version. :P

Eh, dice seems to ruin the game more somehow every time they patch the game. It does look amazing on PC though, I play it whenever I'm at my old place and my buddy isn't playing eve online. If the next gen of consoles can't match that at launch I'll probably sit the next rounds out. The PC version just blows the console versions out of the water, and running at 60fps is just jaw dropping.

Now that our temporary guest has left our house, I finally have possession of my shitty 32" LCD Sony TV from 2006. I can't believe I paid over $700, it took me forever to save that amount. All those mowed lawns and raked leaves it took! :lol:

And while it's shitty, it does have an s-video port and it doesn't have any perceivable input lag. So retro games play just fine on it. Now if only I could turn off the 3% overscan...

Was your "temporary guest" as "temporary" as mine currently are?

"A month or two" for me is going on 7 or 8 right now. I kinda lost count.

So yeah I know exactly how you felt.

Why did the inverted Castle in Symphony of The Night not use use the same music in the areas as the normal castle, but have them be backwards? I really love Wandering Ghosts and Crystal Teardrops, so when I got to those areas, they didnt play. :(

:mrgreen: Bought a PS2 for my step-niece and nephew's first console a week or so ago and it just showed up. I just bid on a super cheap one on eBay with a terrible description. Just knew that it worked...

...and attached to it was a PS2 HDD. I'll take that for myself I think. :P

Bought a Game Genie. Haven't used one since I was 11 or so. Should be a fun night.
