Happy Birthday to The_Fish! ^^

Installed my Ram and GFX card today, after a couple of odd start ups (everything seemed slow then all of a sudden really fast) and a download of the appropriate (closest match) drivers for the GFX card, everything seems to be running nice and smoothly, tomorrow I shall test it out properly with a game.

Mainstream... Casual... it's part perception, part reception... a lot of people might consider a game "this" or "that" but depending on what kind of people end up buying it goes some ways to how it will be labelled by gamers as a whole. Game developers then look at the performance of past titles and decide what route they want to take, often it's whatever sells and is less of a risk of bombing regardless of if it's any good or not because thats whats gonna bring them in the cash; but it's the developers that take a chance every once in a while, create something different, new and unfounded... those are often the games that will be remembered for their brilliance and therefore are fondly welcomed by a more dedicated crowd of gamers. Perception & reception... thats basically what it comes down to Imo.

Hmm maybe they actually got it right this time? glad I didn't rush to download the 2.40 when it was "released" anyway hopefully this one is error free for all, 'cos the features really do sound like they elevate the experience to something thats at least equal to the 360 setup.

Metal Gear Solid parodies... One of the best recent examples here - (well worth the load time) http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/447506 and then theres the worst recent example here - (really bad, couldn't even watch the whole thing :/ ) http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/447514 Anyway, enjoy the first one, tis epic. : peace: Also.. BoHeman Rhapsody lawl

Loving the "projectile swirly vomit vibe" that the boxart is giving, sure to fly off the shelves. Fake but funny.

QFT! respect to the guy though, 100% Holy shit! that just fucking happened.

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya tis awesome. as is the above wallpaper.

for the ram... http://www.crucial.com run a test and they'll tell you what you need.

Ty Sanchez ^^ I ordered the Ati one, I'll sell the cheap one when that one arrives too, if anyone wants it :/ anyways got my Ram and GFX card on it's way now and thats the main thing, it'd be ok to install them both at the same time wouldn't it?

Hmm I figured the card (although cheap) may be worth it as my current card is about 3 years old and that other one is about a year old, what makes it so bad, is it the 256MB of GDDR3 memory versus my current 512MB DDR2? And yeah I thought that too in the end, just went for the standard Ram that they had recomeneded, got the best in that list though, only cost £30 for the 2GB set with I thought was ok. I could spend more on a card, just saw that for the price it was and figured cos my card was 3 years old and that was only 1 year old that I'd risk it :S but as for my current card, I bought the best that I could afford at the time but I didn't expect it to remain any good for more than a year or two with the way that things move on so fast with GFX cards in general. Got any recomendations for less than £50?

Nps Hellfire :P Hmm update - my current card is a Ati Radeon Sapphire X1650 512MB DDR2 memory, pretty old I'm guessing but meh I don't want to run anything cutting edge, just want better performance. The one I'm thinking of upgrading to is... Play Value ATI Radeon HD 2400Pro / 256MB / PCI Express x16 / Graphics Card http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/5973010/Play-Value-ATI-Radeon-HD-2400Pro-256MB-PCI-Express-x16-Graphics-Card/Product.html Looks better in every respect, only thing is the memory, it's 256MB and my current one has 512MB, but, thats 512MB DDR2 and the one I want to upgrade to has 256MB GDDR3 so I'm guessing thats better anyway? Update - Ordered my Rams and card, when I get them, should I install them both at the same time or is that asking for trouble? :P

Ok so I'm looking into upgrading the RAM in my PC, gone on to Crucial, done the test and it says I need this... 2GB kit (1GBx2), 240-pin DIMM, DDR2 PC2-4200 memory module CT734422 £30 I also noticed they have "Ballistix Ram" which apparently offers higher performance and I was just wonder if it's really worth it, all I'm doing is getting rid of my currently installed 2 X 512MB and gonna put in the 2 X 1GB set so that I can get better performance generally. Secondly I'm thinking of upgrading my GFX card which is a... Ati Sapphire Radeon X1650 all I want is a slight upgrade from that really, (I'd imagine it'd be dirt cheap by now too) one that will work well with the above Ram would be good too, also if I get them both, should I install both the Ram and the Gfx card at the same time (sounds like less hassle) ? My PC specs are... HP Pavillion Pentium D (dual core) 2.66 ghz 2.67 ghz 1 GB Ram PCIe slot I think thats all for now, any help / advice appreciated, thanks.

Easy, press X instead of Y or something... Ohhh you meant "morally"(?)

Meh... I'm tempted to get Mario Tennis but I don't "really" want it and I know there will be something better as soon as it goes out of stock. :/

Happy Birthday everyone

Just got my points total up to 5050 stars so I could get Kirby... out of stock ... I would get Mario Power Tennis but I don't want it in protest cos of the 500 stars error (cos if I'd seen it at that price I would have got 10... purchase > ??? > profit! Meh, how long does it take for stars to expire after registration now? is it a month from registering? if so I may get MPT and hmm I've just realised I've only registered most of my GBA codes and half of my GC codes, I still have all my DS codes and Wii codes plus hardware so I effectively have aroiund 15,000 stars that I can still register. :P *edit* meh think I'll wait it out... chances are if I bought MPT it would be the last copy and then they would put up something uber rare in it's place. >>

"Winammmmmmmmp! It really whips the Llamas ass!" *bleating noise*

Happy Birthday Everyone!

Lol I found that amusing... anyway we have nothing to fear! As Nintendo will be announcing a solution to the storage issue at E3... apparently >> it'll probably be the ability to read directly from SD card, well w/e it'll "solve" the storage issue at least, SD cards are cheap and you can get them up to 8GB + ?

Lawl I can't wait for Animal Crossing Wii, oh that reminds me of another AC parody... http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/401442

Eternal Darkness... I remember walking into that room... with the piano... and I could hear this sound... like a creaking... but where was it coming from? After walking around the room about three times my eyes were diverted to a particular part of the room as I bumped into something... A guy hanging with a rope around his neck and swinging slightly from side to side (thus causing the creaking noise). Freaky moment.

For real? O.o I may try that, my digestive transit has seemed annoyingly slow of late so maybe this will help... sure there aren't any downsides to prologned consumption though?

TTS > Original /thread those who prefer the original? fine... but SK did a fine job on improving upon what was allready there, it is just the better version IMO.

A 60GB model as standard would make sense but idk cos I have an Elite. (120 gb) still good news if true.
