Random Gaming Thoughts

Totally missed the boat on a Sega Exodus too.

They probably could've even gotten Exodus to promote it, I mean that band was already doing a lot of silly bullshit by then.

I bought a 4GB Model E Xbox 360 this morning for $70. I can't wait to start collecting games for it.

I need to get a hard drive, and it will probably cost me nearly as much as the console.

You don't have to buy a hard drive really. You can use flash drives up to 32 GB. Just use something like a SanDisk or other high quality brand with decent speed and you are good to go.

Some games require an actual hard drive; these will be noted with an icon saying "Hard Drive Required" as opposed to "Storage Required" on the cover, usually.

Ahh that I did not know. I never tried it myself though. Maybe "hard drive required" and "storage required" is interchangeable with one another.

Still stuck on Drakengard 3 this 100% weapon collection requirement for the final branch to open is a pain in the ass. At least all I have left are the weapons chests I missed in previous levels now but I still have 10+ of those to go back and find . Really not looking forward to replaying these levels but I really want to finish this game since I'm so close.

Im playing around with dark places and eduke32 and it's amazing how easy is to play the games now. It's a shame so far no one made something like this for Blood... and i don't like using DOSbox since im bad at comands and i like to play by just clicking the mouse two times.

You mean the "just buy the PlayStation 3 version instead" icon?

At least on the PS3 you know that almost everything requires an install.

Luckily it's easy to put big, cheap hard drives into PS3s.

Genesis sounds better anyway, IMO.

Agreed.

I like Mega Drive fine, but in an era of Mega, Super, and Turbo, Genesis was both unique and awesome.

Its definitely the superior name.

You also need a HDD for backwards compatibility, if that'd be relevant (considering it's less than perfect, and only covers a subset of Xbox titles). Can't use a hacked drive for that either AFAIK.
