edit: so before i was ninja edited, this was supposed to be a thread about what ps2 games i'd get. ps2 games only (i'll play eboots on my psp for ps1 games). i own a great pc and a 360, so i don't want games that have appeared on anything microsoft. i like: -certain japanese rpgs and most american rpgs -action/adventure games with interesting gameplay -uniqueness of all kinds -awesome stories -excellent graphics -likeable characters i'm already getting chrono cross, ff10 and 12, and probably shadow of the colossus. i might get some of the GTA series. what else should i get? i should point out that i'm getting these because i'm starting to collect different systems and the defining games for each console. i've got an original xbox, a psp, a 360, an n64, and now a ps2. i might get a gamecube at some point, but you get the picture. i would prefer games that are experiences, not just something to pass the time (aka, madden games). edit: so, lists. will probably purchase from someone (sale/want thread ftw): mgs 2 or 3 might purchase: ico disgaea purchased: kingdom hearts 1 and 2 (ebay, 18$) ffx/ffxii (ebay, 30$) ffx2 (ebay, 8$) okami (gamespot, 16$) shadow of the colossus (gamespot, $13.50 - black case!) god of war 1 and 2 (gamespot, part of the buy 2 get 1 free deal...around 15$ considering that)

directx 10 gaming is awesome, but you'd need to find out what works and what doesn't. if you can, run 64-bit vista. if you can't, stick with xp. contact the game manufacturers through their tech support and find out what works and what doesn't - that'd be how i'd do it.

any sound card will help correct an issue with lag. the better the card, the better the performance, generally. the noise issue (SNR, i'm assuming) will be corrected by not using built-in mobo audio.

i particularly like revo uninstaller. it's slow to boot but includes a system scan and registry scan for related items. as long as you know what you're deleting, it's awesome.

so, is anyone here using it? i've seen it in some people's signatures, but we might as well get a combined thread of everyone who's into it. post here, and i'll add it. i'll also add ones as i find them. me: http://twitter.com/thesaxprophet mustin is the shit: http://twitter.com/Mustin anso: http://twitter.com/anosou zircon: http://twitter.com/zirconst jmr: http://twitter.com/_jmr

what a meanie. gets a song posted, and then...

norton is excellent. it's probably the best on the market. and, honestly, ram is so cheap nowadays that 'i run out of system resources' is the shittiest excuse ever. spend 20$ and buy another gig (or three). edit: kaspersky has a habit of permanently deleting important files, in my experience. it's a little tougher to use, too.

i didn't even know that this was here. cool!

rarely are bsods not a big deal. it's probably a mobo. i'd suggest resetting your bios to default just in case, but beyond that it's almost definitely a hardware issue. try booting cold into safe mode and see what drivers it hangs at.

stereoscopic pictures require a certain bit of distance from the image to work properly, since they have to be 'tweaked' for the viewing distance. projectors are better than monitors since their display is farther away from the viewer, allowing a better picture. until this came around, they were (comparitively) cheaper, too.

two weeks later...

you can torrent demos, you know.

N-Jekted has one mix on the site, and it's pretty rockin.

any projectors. it's the distance that allows it to work.

didn't they stop sending boxes a few months back?

send me a wip avaris!

jesus has spoken. actually, i'm not into the beatles, and i'd only want to play the guitar parts anyways so i'm probably going to pick up only one game and a guitar at some point. what's the best game of the series so far?

i heard that it was absolutely horrible, but i haven't played it so i don't know. in other news, i recently picked up afro samurai and wheelman, but i'm not going to play them until i can get my work for the semester done =) i don't need even more problems getting my papers written for the end of the semester.

i'm partial to most anything by haroon piracha, star salzman, and zircon's stuff. there's been some excellent project mixes that aren't on the site as official remixes. check them out too.

apple tax means that the macbook pro will likely run around $2k or so.

woot.com's selling a great laptop with a 17" widescreen for 800$. it's a refurb, but it's got 500 gigs of hd space (5400rpm, though), 4 gigs of memory, and a t5800 cpu. wireless n, esata...it's a pretty nice machine. no warranty, just a 30-day thing. it's 64-bit vista, though, so compatibility might be an issue. edit: and it's got a bluray player/dvd burner.

i did a track for both summoning of spirits and thieves of fate that have vocals. as time goes on was the track for SoS and thieves of fate was the self-titled lead track on the other album. both have good guitar stuff.

make sure to actually set up your output properly.

unfortunately, i despise aerosmith. do you need four guitars? i'll buy one off of you. i'd prefer wired, really, it saves on batteries.

never got into the GH games, but i might have to. at least, with a guitar only. the peripherals are just too damn expensive.
