thepixiesrock Posted November 17, 2007 Author Posted November 17, 2007 There'sa problem with MTU settings or something. I'd elaborate, but I didn't understand the technical jargin. Something about modems and numbers and something else, loike it can't connect unless the number is higher than this other number.

Krookie Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 Do you have all your connection settings set to "Automatic"?

Nick_i_am Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 Man, playing with Gabs and Hades has been great, but they really need mics. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Bokishi Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 Srry if I'm too lazy to get on the mic.. Current 3DMark
Kor Qel Droma Posted November 17, 2007 Posted November 17, 2007 I wish I was done work and not on my lunch break. I'd rather be gaming. Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Llyranor Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Okay, Carcassonne seems to be a pretty fun board game. Get it free for a limited time from XBLA this weekend. I think it's only available for 48 hrs starting from yesterday. We can play up to 5 players. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Hurlshort Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Yeah, hopefully I can figure out how to play against more than one person. I was watching a movie tonight with my wife, so I couldn't join y'all. What does it say I'm doing when I have a movie in?

I think it's only available for 48 hrs starting from yesterday. We can play up to 5 players. Nearly six hours later of playing it straight. I'm glad to say I think I've got it figured out. It was a lot easier once I learned to turn my Followers to select different things. It was one of those lightbulb moments where you say 'Hey, Llyranor doesn't have seizures! He was trying to show me something.' Now if I could just figure out those damn zones and how to drive a warthog on Halo.... Jaguars4ever is still alive. No word of a lie.
Krookie Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Warthog driving is simple. Press forward on the left stick to accelerate, use the right stick to turn.
thepixiesrock Posted November 18, 2007 Author Posted November 18, 2007 It's almost the simplist control set ever.

Nick_i_am Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 I think he meant learn how to drive a warthog without crashing into every random tree, rock and bomb he comes across. Good Warthog driving is an artform. (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Tale Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Did Sand end up finding room for a 360? "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."
Sand Posted November 18, 2007 Posted November 18, 2007 Room yes. Money no. I am just going to keep focusing on my PC. At least til I get a upgraded CPU and 2 8800 GTs in SLI. Maybe by then the XBox 360 games I want to play be carted over to the PC by then.

Maybe by then the XBox 360 games I want to play be carted over to the PC by then. Just curious...but what current PC exclusive games are worth the significant dollar investment in making those upgrades? I assume you're able to play NWN2 just fine with what you currently have. Even then, going SLI with 8800GT seems like overkill unless you're hardcore into FPS. Even then, that's still highly debatable. Whereas right now seems to be a good time to be a 360 owner. Especially when you factor in the costs. "Things are funny...are comedic, because they mix the real with the absurd." - Buzz Aldrin."P-O-T-A-T-O-E" - Dan Quayle
Sand Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 (edited) I mostly want a PC that I won't have to upgrade for quite a bit.

Leferd Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 A good rule of thumb is to upgrade when you need to. Prices will be lower by the time that need occurs and even then, the technology will have improved. Right now, do you have to? Also, are there really any games out right now that you want to play that you can't play with what you have right now?

Sand Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Well, I can't play Crysis on Ultra High.

Hurlshort Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 There's a pretty good sized group on the 360 right now, and I'm having a blast playing with everyone. Llyr and I got killed in NHL 08 by some ringer this morning playing in team mode, and then Nick won a game of Carcassone against the two of us. The voice chat is solid, there are just a ton of classic games to play on Xbox Live Arcade, and there's usually someone online to get a game going with.
Leferd Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Well, I can't play Crysis on Ultra High. Fair enough. But is Crysis really high up there on your list of must play games that warrants spending upwards towards a thousand grand for? Personally I'd do it for say...Dragon Age, but that won't be out for a while. Save yourself hundreds of gaming dollars and get the 360. There's always Mass Effect, Assassin's Creed, and even Bioshock, Orange Box, etc., Plus it now comes with two great games for free: Forza 2 and Marvel Ultimate Alliance.

Sand Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 If I wanted Bioshock or the Orange Box I can get it on the PC. The only X Box 360 game that is only on the 360 I want to get is ME which more than likely will be carted to PC soon enough anyway just like Jade Empire did. There is just not enough games on the XBox 360 that is only on the XBox 360 that I really want to warrant getting the console. Besides, if I can get my PC to play Crysis on Ultra High then there is no doubt that it will be able to hand Dragon Age.

Leferd Posted November 19, 2007 Posted November 19, 2007 Ok. But would you be able to play DA on maximum settings when it comes out with the dual 8800GTs? Because from here, it seems like you're making the purchases to play Crysis on max settings. That's a mighty big gamble on just one shooter, especially when you're a big rpg nut. Consider this, what other games that you are salivating over between now and say Dragon Age are going to be available on PC that you can't play on the 360? As for Mass Effect, what makes you think that it will be ported over to pc? It's just conjecture, and if it does occur, by that time, EA will have taken control of Bioware and you yourself said that you won't buy any EA games. I don't see any EA labels on Mass Effect for the 360. Actually, that means DA will be an EA game too. So there goes another reason for "upgrading for the future". And isn't the Aliens rpg designed for next-gen consoles (360)? As is Obsidian's other secret project?
