Bokishi Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 I'll probably get XBL soon, logitech just released this wireless connecter that makes hooking the 360 to a far away router easy Current 3DMark
Kor Qel Droma Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 Jags and I have a session of XML2 that we still haven't finished, or else I'd be online with the 360 now, although I have to admit I've been tempted to switch over anyway. Damn internet loyalties!!! Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
alanschu Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 Is your "spin-o-rama" button shared with the "switch player" when on defense?
Kor Qel Droma Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 Nope, it's purely controlled by the skill stick. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
alanschu Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 I'm not sure what the heck EA was thinking with their default control scheme. They ended up putting the default shoot buttons on the right shoulder, and while they have pass on the right analog stick which can be nice, the pass button is on the left shoulder. But the switch player while on defense is still button 2 ('X' on a PS2 controller), which while on offense is spin-o-rama. And the old school mainstays for slapshot and wrist shot have been replaced by dive and block pass/shot. I should be able to fix the controls to put shoot back, but the defensive switch player is permanently bound to spin-o-rama. Boo-urns.
Deraldin Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 (edited) I think I may have to pass on Company of Heroes at least until I get a new graphics card. Playing through that demo again I was experiencing massive lag this time after I had three times as many units on screen all firing and throwing up clouds of dust. I can hear my poor 9600 Pro crying as it struggles to output more than a single frame per second judging by how much of a slideshow my defence of the church became. Several stugs dueling with my AT guns throws up an awful lot of dust that my card just can't handle. It took me 30 clicks to finally select one of my troops because the game wasn't responding.

Musopticon? Posted September 17, 2006 Posted September 17, 2006 I'm dying to play Dark Crusade, but right now I'm playing as Dyfeint in Arthurian:Total War, which would nowadays probably be called Western Wales. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
Krookie Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Once I finish Dead Rising, I'll pick up NHL 07. Then Lego Star Wars II...And then the long wait till Medal of Honor:Airborne and Brothers in Arms 3, which looks stunning by the way.
Darque Posted September 18, 2006 Author Posted September 18, 2006 Can you really "finish" dead rising though? I mean how can one get bored with killing zombies in a mall with 2000 different items? :D
metadigital Posted September 18, 2006 Posted September 18, 2006 Hey! Zombies were people, too! I think your zombie-bigotry is going too far, Darque. You are a rabid zombist. A zombophobe! OBSCVRVM PER OBSCVRIVS ET IGNOTVM PER IGNOTIVS OPVS ARTIFICEM PROBAT

Kor Qel Droma Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 After playing about forty or so games in the last few days of EAs' NHL 07 I've decided to restart my season with a few of the rookies from this season. Plus I've increased the length of periods to ten minutes from five. That gives my created defenceman, who was 14-17-31 in 42 games a better chance at cracking the leader board for defencemen throughout the league ( which incidentally is an absolute pain in the ass to get to ) . I want the Norris trophy too, dammit! Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
alanschu Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 My co-workers are playing Oblivion at work right now....so my Urge to play oblivion is rising!

Deraldin Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 I just picked up Civ 4 Warlords so I'll be playing that as soon as I install it.

alanschu Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 I think I did have a lighting bow. I got it from a Vampire (who was level 5 )
Darque Posted September 19, 2006 Author Posted September 19, 2006 No fire? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Fire doesn't make enemies do flipflops or send them flying through the air 50 feet over your shoulder.

Dark_Raven Posted September 19, 2006 Posted September 19, 2006 Sounds electrifying. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Darque Posted September 19, 2006 Author Posted September 19, 2006 It's great fun, especially when they go bouncing around the room. (w00t)
