lets talk about vidya games here

played the demo for grid. hard as heck w/o wheel and pedals.

post away

[kibble]

Oh, that's more like it, I was thinking about starting one myself! Beat me to the punch. :arf:

Yeah, Grid is freakin' difficult with the keyboard. I have a steering wheel, but I don't have anywhere to put it at the moment so I haven't really played it with the wheel. The best I've gotten just playing with the keyboard is 3rd place. I would have gotten first, but I damaged my cars' alignment and I hit a wall which slowed me down enough for two cars to just zoom past me. All the other times I've played it I've gotten a comforting last place.

Im more into old school stuff, SNES, a 2600 clone (soon to have a cart slot), getting grandpas NES when they find it. I have a PS2 with an online box but I dont play it very often.

[kibble]

I have a couple of 2600's in the garage somewhere, but they need some repairs done to them, they have broken switches. I haven't messed with them in years. I used to play with the 2600 all the time! I had a bunch of games for it but they all seem to have gotten lost over the years :(. I have an NES too that needs some work. I have Mario 2, Tetris, and Gyromite for it, but I don't have the R.O.B for Gyromite.

[Kenny_McCormic]

My mom sold my 2600 and NES, I later conned her into buying me a SNES for this BS a few years after I sold my SNES(big mistake, it was one of the not dog pee yellow brittle cased ones).

i tried the grid demo for xbox and it was easy
beat every race except the drifting
AND beat the world record time which would have entered me in a contest to win a BMW 3 series if i lived in europe

if youre really into it, you can buy a wired xbox controller and use it on your computer

[kibble]

Racing games don't seem to have the same effect without a wheel and pedals, especially a force feedback wheel.

[ed1380]

ive heard that nissan or mazda or some asian car company wanted to take a game console and connect it to the car and use the cars steering and pedals to control the game. IIRC they also wanted to use some kind of HUD so that the graphics would be on your windshield

What is IIRC? I don't know this one. :confused:

What would happen if you just "happened" to confuse real life for the game?

[newrider3]

Grid looked like a lot of fun, but I went to download the demo and it was gonna take 6 or 7 hours to DL, so I'm playing this (http://www.miniclip.com/games/need-for-madness/en/) instead.

[oscaryu1]

N33D 4 $P33[) FTW!

PC's FTW! Where's the post your computer specs thread? :(

[kibble]

NFS is ok, but it's really kinda exaggerated.

Ok, we'll start a post your pc specs thread.

[Russ2251]

I had one of these back in 1980(?).
Anybody recognize it?

[kibble]

Didn't have one, but it looks like a ColecoVision?

[Russ2251]

looks like a ColecoVision?Strike one

[kibble]

Bally Professional Arcade?

[AutoMX]

im kinda disappointed by the lack of anything good right now over all the consoles. mario galaxy was great and uncharted was pretty fun but now im sitting waiting for anything decent. and yea i too keep my classic consoles. i have my NES, SNES, dreamcast, PSX, 2 x launch japanese PS2 (one modded), PS3, 360 and Wii.

as a side note i just finished working on the new mortal kombat game, which may turn out to be fun but the story is extremely cheesy lol

[ed1380]

IIRC= if i remember correctly

[oscaryu1]

NFS is ok, but it's really kinda exaggerated.

Ok, we'll start a post your pc specs thread.

I just wanna race. Need a good PC for that (my first hobby, Oscaryu1 @ Computerforum.com) and then cars (my second hobby, including go karting and small engine repair)...

Anywho... what games you... ehhhh... ummm... advise?

[kibble]

If you're referring to Racing games, The NFS series are ok, but they don't really hold my interest for too long. If you're more into "simulation" style ones, there's another one called GTR2 for PC, It's a little older so it doesn't need a lot of hardware to run.

Mario Kart if always fun as a racing game! :arf:

[ed1380]

flatout2 FTW

[newrider3]

Hey computer whizzes. I got Grid to DL, and installed it. Now when I go to open it, all I get is this. What could be the problem?

[kibble]

Apparently, Grid has encountered a problem and needs to close. They are sorry for the inconvenience. :arf:

Are you running Kaspersky by any chance? What antivirus/spyware/etc do you have?

[newrider3]

So that's what it means?:smartass:
No, I'm not. I have Symantec/Norton Antivirus

[kibble]

Try disabling it or unloading it.

[newrider3]

Still the same.

[oscaryu1]

Look at the error report lol...

[kibble]

Yeah, see if the report tells you anything that may give a clue as to what the problem may be.

[newrider3]

It's all gibberish.

[oscaryu1]

Faster than oscaryu1...


OH NOES! :D

[oscaryu1]

How is a Briggs 5 horse, with a 3HP flywheel, Dyno Cam, Ported and shaved eyebrows... ARC Rod, and an air filter beat my Clone? :confused:

Hehe, we should have a virtual race. "Measure 100ft and record your time" :D

[crazycart]

Newrider, all you need is some nitrous...

[ed1380]

they should make a go kart game. well actually i have this old shifter kart racing game. ****s hard. the steering lags so much. you let of the arrow key and hes still turning

[oscaryu1]

Haha! I wish they had a game, car, kart, doesn't matter, where you could actually upgrade/repair the IMPORTANT things. Not put on rims and ricer spoilers like in NFS.

[jr dragster Tyler]

Lol All you need is a 250 shot of wet nitrous and new rider will wizz right by oscar.

[newrider3]

How about a 4 speed transmission?:arf:

Gran Turismo...

[oscaryu1]

Oh dear. I really am behind on games aren't I?

How about a 4 speed transmission?

Ahh.............................

I still beat you in acceleration :D

[newrider3]

We need to set up some kind of DIY Go Karts jam. Have everyone meet up for a weekend of riding and showing off.

[oscaryu1]

With us DIYers scattered all over the place, that ain't gonna happen haha! We should just have a huge chatroom and lots of webcams :smartass:

Lawl at pedobear. But I think its best to keep him at the nation/4chan, and whatever you do NO RICKROLLING!!!

[kibble]

Ha ha! That reminds me, a friend and I went to Chipotle (a fast food restaurant) last week and there was a group of older guys sitting at table. Out of nowhere, we happen to hear one of the guys say: "There's like 3 or 4, 11-12 year olds there." My friend turns to me and says: "NAMBLA?":roflol:
