The Gamer's Quarter

Dude! What about Metal Gear!?

Ugh, as much as I want to play the game, I can't bring myself to spend $500 for the console. I just hope and pray that by the time I decide to take the plunge there ar ...

I warn you that it will be inferior to just having a TV (any TV) set up in its stead. Fine for recording if you must, but everyday use? Hell no.

I have a GameBridge USB thingie for connecting consoles (or whatever uses RCA/s-video, really) into my PC for recording. The lag must be minimal, because I managed to record Ch1 of DC Ikaruga with no ...

God is cool; it's his fan club that fucks shit up.
Unfortunately, His fan club is the only insight into His nature we have.

They are the only insight into what they THINK is his nature (notice I d ...

Just think: we still can't create a blade of grass in the lab, even though we know damn near all there is to know about it. Same for embryos, if you will. If science can't explain it or reproduce it, ...

would there be an appreciable difference in video quality if I bought the component cable for the Wii? (like, a difference worth the money?)

It's actually been answered before, but YES. The dif ...

Retaliator, dammit. If someone could help me run it in DosBox under win95 compatibility mode I'd love you forever.

This thread made me think about this 3D helicopter game EA released for Genesis that I somehow got my hands on as a kid (I can't remember the name?). I don't know if it had a custom chip or not but t ...

Crash Bandicoot. Vertical/Horizontal scrolling platformer. Mario64 really was a giant leap of imagination.

Any old-school Mac users should know this one:

I'd always doodled in class and such, but this program had me spending HOURS on the ol' Mac SE, messing with polygonal perspectives and ...

Hey Toups! Sorry this came so late, but um...

Anyone who's played Contra gets the reference, so how about it?

That was mean to pick on crack heads and you're a bad man. But I think its an interesting story.

Oh we never messed with the crackheads. We were throwing eggs at the people and cars on the str ...

If urban exploration is a real life adventure game than you have to consider the police part of that... Don't get caught!

Back in the day we had this BIG 5 story building (167th and Walton in the B ...

But the future of IC IS gonna be threads about "drinking during college", so I think the topic fits the current theme, I T T.

I suspect that as soon as I sit in my first class, the total and absol ...

Bah, I've been getting the itch to return and finish my degree. But I suspect that as soon as I sit in my first class, the total and absolute apathy that I feel towards that piece of paper will drive ...

So story time: around the beginning of the year, my friends and I went ghost hunting at an abandoned rennaissance faire (which was totally sweet). Unfortunately at the end we got busted (but not c ...

Hey, you're supposed to encourage discussion, not eliminate the need for it. Selfish prick.

I've mainly been playing a lot of Zelda and a lot of Rainbow Six: Vegas. When I finish with those I'll probably go back to Gears of War if people are still playing.

Yea, people are still pl ...

Changing the default color scheme should not be an option ;_;

Yea, ikaruga.co.uk used to allow for polarity changes, but somehow it went terribly wrong. Put it to a vote, or solicit samples from ...

Sure, soon as I get past this freakin general with his Pitch Black wannabes.

It's just that I wanted my Wii to be youthful forever... sniff.

So did Bob Dole.

Ahem. When could I reasonably expect gamestop to get in a new shipment? I notice the bigger retailers are get ...

Saw a tough ghetto thug-type sporting Jin's tribal tattoo from Tekken 3 once. I didn't stop to laugh.

Damn that was quick.

Hey guys, we ARE still guests here, no?

I'll get back to you after I mention this to her.

Wes, you can buy mine if she votes against.

So how soon will EB Games/Gamestop have it in stock? I am more and more interested in getting it, but I want to trade in the Cube for the paltry discount.

Yea, hi. GcDiaz, yet another "IC refugee". Found that place by way of Tim's DIAER article; found this place by way of...I don't remember. I like inebriated Billiards, and totally plastered Ikaruga. My ...

Yeah, so...GoW is a somewhat short game, but if short = action-packed quality content with little to no filler, then I'm all for it. I'm currently stuck at the last boss (damn Krill keep getting me). ...

This whole situation is really one of the few times where a story can be both a tragedy, and a comedy at the same time. Methinks IC as we knew it will be no more. A shame, really.

Picked up Gears of War today, and I'll just say it: this game makes me glad I own a 360. It really is fantastic, with the gameplay, the scripting, and yes, the graphics. I don't think my neighbors lik ...

FFXII. Been playing it since release date, and I just broke the 50-hr mark, with all characters in their high 30's-low 40's. Loving every second of it, but oh how I wish and wish and wish that it had ...

I'd make it my sig, but the constant reminder of NEXT-GEN GAMING seems against the unique character of this place.

hey gcdiaz, did you get your game yet?

Oh! Yes, it arrived last week. Meant to PM you, but you know guys never call back...
When I had it a few months ago (borrowed from IC's own DJ) I managed to ...

My game accomplishments are few and far between, to the point where each one is the kind of thing seen only once per generation. Hence:

Ain't got much to say, except:
