I have it for the VC as well, the Wii looks like crap on my HD TV and I can play online co-op on the 360. The emulation's fine anyway, if I cared that much I'd just buy the original cart.

I've got my new PC up and running and it's a total beast. I was just playing BioShock on maxed settings and it ran better than the 360 version.

Probably not a big deal to most, but people should note that I have never, in my entire life, owned a computer that could play recently released games. Not even three year old games. On my previous computer, I couldn't even play N64 games properly.

So, big deal to me. I'm gonna be picking up some stuff in the next couple weeks, prior to Halo 3 dropping. Did someone say Halo 2 Vista achievement points? Yes, I think they did.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 08-30-2007, 11:02 PM

Uuuuh, yeah. Have fun with that. I'll be the guy in co-op who dies by falling out of the warthog and getting caught under the wheel.

Anyway, glad you got a beefy PC. Sounds awesome.

Whatever, man! We'll all help each other out in co-op. It's going to be so god damn amazing. I can't wait.

Puzzle Fighter HD? Gotta see them puzzles in 1080p?

*Dr. Doom* · 08-31-2007, 10:29 PM

Well I'd say the appeal is more for playing Puzzle Fighter with other people through XBL.

For XBox 360 Live Arcade I got:
1. Streets of Rage 2
2. Gauntlet (half price due to 48 hour labor day sale)
3. Dig Dug (half price due to 48 hour labor day sale)
4. Small Arms (half price due to 48 hour labor day sale)

**ThirdMarioBro** · 09-02-2007, 08:12 PM

Oh snap, the fire sale. I forgot. I guess I'll blow a couple hundred points for a cheap-ass Smash Bros. ripoff (Small Arms).

Peanut · 09-03-2007, 12:00 AM

I bought Oblivion for my PC yesterday, so the reason I haven't been around all weekend should be completely evident to anyone who knows me. Oblivion + Insane Mod Community = TES fanboy Heaven.

I'm already running something like 50+ mods, doing everything from adding more quests and items, to creating entire new continents, to completely overhauling the games graphics to an insane level.

**ThirdMarioBro** · 09-03-2007, 12:10 AM

Dear lord, to be doing that, your PC must be a fu*king BEAST.

Peanut · 09-03-2007, 02:41 AM

It is. And I gotta say, the Oblivion mod community is absolutely AMAZING. I thought the Morrowind community was insane, but it's got nothing on these guys. I'm actually flying around on a dragon mount as I type this.

*spits out beer*

WHAT!? Damn, I'd be upgrading my PC if I wasn't broke.

No doubt, when you see the kind of work people have done in re-texturing and updating this game in that last (close to) two years.

Stuff like this, or this, go a long way in making the game look like it just came out recently. And other amazing upgrades like this make it seem cutting edge compared to most of the stuff out there.

This isn't even going into the intense gameplay changes, such as the ones that completely overhaul the combat; allowing for things like limb severing and decapitations, to special attacks like shield bashing and hilt punches.

I'm completely completely astounded by some of this stuff.

*Brodie* · 09-03-2007, 07:44 PM

Metroid, but its still shrink wrapped...I refuse to open it till I beat Bioshock, Darkness, or countless other games I still own.
