Lately I've been chilling with the original Knights of the Old Reepublic on my Xbox, Civilization III on my PC, and the occasional Big Team Battle in Halo 2 on Xbox Live.
I must firmly recommend all of the things I just mentioned. Quality gaming right there.

Seeing as gaming is my love, I figured I'd chime in. The first console I ever owned was a Nintendo 64. I used to only ever get a chance to play the Super Nintendo and original Nintendo at a friend's house... but the N64 changed that. Currently I own:
Xbox
Playstation 2
Gamecube
Gameboy Advance
Nintendo DS
And a high end PC for all of my gaming needs. With school and website stuff, I find a lot less time these days to actually play games (there's at least 5 purchases I can think of that I made within the 6 months that I've only played a few minutes of... I very much look forward to the summer when I can't back to gaming!) There's also a large handful on my "must buy" list that I would have purchased, had I not been so busy.

Ooh, yeah. Carmen Sandiego was always a fun game to play . . . though I remember our computer often crashing whenever we attempted to run the program.Chandler wrote:Haha! I loved that game!

I used to play "Where In Time Is Carman Sandiego" on that console! It was so FUN!

The video on the website of the people who did this. It's pretty cool. Even has a segment of footage which shows the guys in the workshop making it. The show hosts also play Mario with it.Trent DeWhite wrote:The video for . . . ?
I think I can safely say no regardless of the video to which you are referring. Haven't seen any video since The Incredibles.

Hard to believe anyone could do well playing with that huge controller.

Gotta love any and all Mario games. Well, most of them anyway. Anyone played Mario Party 6?
I never played LotR: TTT. However, I did purchase RoTK shortly after it was released. Certainly not the best game I've ever played but I enjoyed the RPG-like quality to it in being able to upgrade the characters to some extent. I read it was an improvement from TTT, but having not played TTT, I can't really make any further comment.

There just isn't enough time in the day for everything. We should have 48-hour days, maybe then you'd find the time to keep up with the Mario games.Chandler wrote:As much as I love Mario I don't keep up with games too well.

At any rate, my brother received Mario Party 6 for Christmas. If I'm not mistaken, it was the first Mario game ever to be released with a microphone. Very cool, indeed. Several of the games you play involve the use of the mic, in which you can answer a question or give a command. It's awesome.
They didn't do too well. Here's the link. It makes you watch a commercial first. http://www.g4tv.com/mediaplayer/index.a ... o_key=9036Trent DeWhite wrote:Nope, haven't seen it.

If the link doesn't work, go to www.attackoftheshow.com, click on videos up at the top, and scroll down the one that says Gigantic NES controller. Right now it is near the bottom of the first page. It will be on the second page soon, as they put up new videos every week.
I play NES on my XBOX too. Hey Top, what mod chip do you have? I use an X-ecuter 3.

I'm not totally sure, to be honest. A friend of mine did all the work, I just play the games.Me wrote: I play NES on my XBOX too. Hey Top, what mod chip do you have? I use an X-ecuter 3.
EDIT: I take that back. My friend found a way to do it without using a mod chip.
