I have mine linked to my pc with an ethernet cable and then share my internet connection to the X-Box. Works fine but I haven't done a lot of gaming.
Yes.
But I'm lazy and can't be bothered sharing all the links I found on google.
type "using xbox wireless without official adapter" into google.
Lots of solutions for you.
Played the demo and enjoyed it.
I think i better do the same. Did you do it over the infinity ward website or through a store in town?

That vid is pretty cool.
I placed my pre-order at EB Games in Rundle Mall.
apparently they have yeah. i got one tho haha
Nah, just the one with a slightly fancier box and the art booklet.
Same price as regular edition so thought I would treat myself to some useless crap I will look at once, then throw away.
Why version you guys getting? PS3, Xbox360, or PC?
Have you got the 120hz monitor?
If you go to getright computers which is where I discovered this gadget, they bundle it with a samsung 120hz monitor for $920.... not cheap I know... but fucking worth it imo
Cheers, mate.
Don't worry, all they'll do is lower the blood splatter (or make it green) and it will be available here soon enough...
That's what eBay is for.

havent been this pumped to play a game in a long time.
Just DL Bubble Bobble from X-Box Live.
Haha holy crap. I reckon I had that on the NES.
Ridiculous game.
As in good or bad? I havent layed since the original!
May 3rd for US, May 6th is the Worldwide release date
L.A. Noire sounds pretty cool. I love film noir themed stuff.
Are Rockstar just publishing it then? I thought they were producing it seeing as it had their name all over it. It might indeed be crap in that case...
RE: PSP2, I'm still thinking the new 3DS looks the bees knees. I'm definitely thinking about getting one.
agreed. cannot wait to play the ocarina of time remake. original is still the best game ive ever played.
And you're still a fag to this day.
Coincidence? I think not!
EDIT: I don't think the 3DS will fail by any means, I think the majority of people will use the 3D for a few games, and turn it off.
that was the coolest part of it, also going to get the homiez if you needed a hand with something!
oh also dropped 94pts on chris with Durant today on 2k11.
Yeah fkn oath. Even just hopping on a bmx or a dirt bike and riding through the mountans was awesome.
You got it on PS3/play over the net?
fag
That did also involve jumping off jumps on the top of mountains and plummeting to a horrible, painful death. Or even being taken out by a plane mid-air from out of fucking no where. Haha I miss San Andreas.

wow!
As I said previously, I'm rather apprehensive about it. I know people working on it, and most of them say "It looks nice" and then trail off.
Although I honestly hope it's good, and I hope sales are through the roof - Australia can't afford to lose another studio
This one is for Leezee:
I just used a $400 joystick
I remember the last one I played, AFL Live 2003 on PS2. Once you had the timing of the marking and tap systems down (which took all of about 10 games or so) it was a cakewalk even on the hardest difficulty. It went something like this...win centre tap - handball on - long kick into the 50 - mark - goal. Rinse and repeat. Once that happened it got boring, I played it for the last time once I had won the GF by 100 odd points lol, there wasn't any incentive to continue after that.
It was a real pity because while everyone was still learning it was a lot of fun with close games etc. They just made the marking and tap system far too easy once you had mastered them. All they needed to do was program an element of randomness to it or make it rely on the player's stats, but those AFL games were usually cheap and nasty and didn't have the budget or experience working on them to make it that in-depth.
"out of bounds on the full"
The NES one? Gold!
haha yup, thats the one
Must admit, i think they really nailed the cover.................
image not archived: AFL_game.jpg
The first Shane Warne game by Codemasters on the PSX was decent back in the day, same with the first one they made on PS2 under the Ricky Ponting name. Too bad all the rest of the players had fake names with one letter changed like McGreth, Haydin, Maralitharan, Lora, etc. due to licensing.
"out of bounds on the full"
Up there with: "Engineering... aaaaffirmative" for me, although that might just be because of my engineer mates.

Starcraft?
"Sworbu" from Warcraft is another one of those SFX that has stuck with me over the years lol. As well as: "they're waiting for you Gordon. In the test chamberrrr".
'Building'
'Construction Complete'
'New construction options'
'Low Power'
Over and over haha
Classic!
Also the power crackle and draining noise just as "low power" kicks in. Another classic C&C sound is the "Wilhelm Scream" when guys get fried.

Actually all this talk reminds me I need a good RTS.
Whats around on PS3?? Been thinking Red Alert 3?
RTS suuuck on console though (for the same control reasons FPS are not as good).
I don't suppose you can use a mouse with the PS3?
I've picked up the phone at work saying 'engineering' a few times, never got an affirmative reply yet...

DONT DO IT!!!!!!!!!
i had for a few weeks. was shit. medium setting was too easy. hard setting built nukes in about 5min and was pretty much impossible to defeat. would have been good if you could turn super weapons off..
I FUCKIN HATE CUNTS RAAAAAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Nice.
With all the recent media whinging about online shopping not supporting the local retailers, they wonder why people go for that option. If only they wised up and put proper laws in place and didn't indulge in so much profiteering then they could take full advantage of what is a million dollar + industry in Australia.
Good call government!
haha

Awesome mate! Sounds like a plan. Bad time to move
I suck pretty bad, it's been 5 years since I played an FPS. I like to do weird stuff like sit in the AA for the whole round. I mostly am a medic playing back a bit from the action.
Got my new mechanical keyboard and gaming mouse today so can't wait to fire that up! *click clack click*
Oh man, wish I had a mechanical keyboard, the clicking would be so good!
Whats your Origin, didnt get a request
Not having a clue what a mechanical keyboard was, I Googled and found this.
The part in bold... oh man.

I have a mate who swears by his, on Skype calls I can loudly hear his clacking as he types away lol. Old school sound!
i sent you mine dranks81
having trouble changin my origin ID so that will have to do for the time being..
I guess if you are coding or typing for 8 hours straight it can make a difference though. The thing is awesome to type on! :geek:
Oh and GTA 5!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Another cool thing is that DLC also has awesome cel-shaded graphics...
I wonder if you can play as Delonte West working at Home Depot.
I see your Farming Simulator and raise you with the epicness that is Railworks 3: Train Simulator 2012...
[video: www.youtube.com]
Available now on Steam for a mere $39.99 as well as about a million different DLC packs for trains and tracks. Get onto it! See you in the servers with my beast Class 150/2 DMU, the mainstay of British Rail's fleet.
Check this out...so phat!
OMG!
You could do that in Soldier Of Fortune 2.
Yeah I have to say that is one thing the Libs really got right...let the parents do their job and hand out a few free copies of Net Nanny if they want some help doing so.
Then again you never know, they might take the same approach anyway as the issue these days as it appears a large part of the "problem" is that the graphics and animations are getting much more realistic thus enhancing the supposed impact of the content.
Lol it was up before but now its gone down. FYI MW3 on xbox was $69 and it seemed most games were around that price.
No PC games at all, console only. What a fktard.
There's a bunch of Steam achievements for those games that go towards the current Christmas "Great Gift Pile" promotion. You can win free games and discount coupons by getting them. I have already got the ones for TF2, CS:S and DOD and have a few vouchers and the like, no games yet though.
Hideous website!
Online multiplayer is mad. Haven't stopped playing it since it came out.
I hated it at first, played several hours to try and get the Kris Kringle Steam achievement during the recent sale (I didn't as it is impossible...I have only had one Satan room pop up in hundreds of sessions) and now I am addicted. A twisted and very difficult game...
finished it already. wasnt like i was even playing it every day either... :/
awesome game though, was good to have the story come to a conclusion. might have to go back in on the next difficulty setting i think.
Started Skyrim last week. Loving it so far. Wish I could crank the graphics a bit more though.
The last one they did with Kobe on the cover sucked. It was still far too arcadey...if they fix that they could be a contender...
Also this might interest a few people on here... some pretty mind blowing statistics!
Excuse the giant size...
Yeah I love it. The only worry is that because you never have a physical copy of the game if anything changes or goes belly up in the future you won't be able to fire up old games that you paid for.
Of course with those numbers it doesn't look likely to happen but you've still given them all of the control.
shit i had no idea
wonder if anyone's still playing SOF2
If it was on Steam they probably would be. It makes the matchmaking process so much easier. It's great how a lot of old games are on board... I'd pay a few bucks for a Soldier of Fortune collection for sure. I played through the whole first one and it would be cool to revisit it. The big cannon that blew off arms and legs in one hit was awesome lol!
Simple formula, pick up and play for 1 minute or 3 hours. I always go back now and then.
I miss owning you.
Thanks mate! Downloading now.
FALSE!
Falcon 4.0
[video: www.youtube.com]
QFT
Can't wait until someone updates it to display eyefinity resolutions
I haven't fired Falcon up for years btw
Pretty much. I don't play it any more either but it's still the best flight sim I have ever played.
On the same topic; the new Microsoft flight is pretty cool but the PAYG model is shit and seems pretty expensive considering that you can fly around the entire world with other flight sims (including FSX) for the cost of one game, rather than a gazillion in-game purchases.
No Pip though!
Speaking of, here's an interesting little video about some things people might not know about the GTA franchise.
[video: www.youtube.com]
Plus three more screenshots have been released for GTAV...
I love that house, it looks like something Vinnie and the boys stayed in in Entourage. Hopefully you can go inside a lot of these places.
That is for certain.
Real gamers use a PC anyway.
(With an Xbox 360 controller for Windows...
)
I haven't yet but I am keen.
Steam sales have spoiled me though, I will wait until it comes down a fair bit in price, I'm not keen on paying that much at the moment.

Posted: 14 Sep 2009, 1:28pmSubject: Re: Video Games
I had it pretty sweet for a while... PS3, 360 and Wii all set-up on a 46 inch plasma with 7:2 Home Theatre set-up. By unfortunate coincidence both the Sony and Microsoft representatives have recently carked it. The 360 is just plain fucked (not mine luckily), but the PS3's blu-ray drive ceases to recognise discs inserted. Not happy, especially considering I've layed out a fucking shitload of cash on games and shit and have only just settled in to start playing them. Sony aren't fixing it because it's out of warranty. Cunts. Hopefully I can get it fixed here without sending away, because I might as well buy one of the new Slims if that's the case. I don't give a fuck about the 360, it's a piece of shit regardless of what working condition it's in.

I think you'll buy a 3DS, play a couple of games on it, then realise it's gimmicky and annoying, and turn it off.
Simply put, to play in 3D, you have to hold the console perfectly still.
Move your head or the console too much, and you get the effect of taking your glasses off during a 3D movie.

You can set the depth of 3D on it, and turn it off completely if you don't enjoy it. Nintendo know how to do handheld well and I'll hazard a guess that it will probably be a success. I'm still using my DS Lite to this day.

Coincidence? I think not!
EDIT: I don't think the 3DS will fail by any means, I think the majority of people will use the 3D for a few games, and turn it off.

As I said previously, I'm rather apprehensive about it. I know people working on it, and most of them say "It looks nice" and then trail off.
Although I honestly hope it's good, and I hope sales are through the roof - Australia can't afford to lose another studio

No doubt it'll be garbage, but they're generally always fun
I remember the last one I played, AFL Live 2003 on PS2. Once you had the timing of the marking and tap systems down (which took all of about 10 games or so) it was a cakewalk even on the hardest difficulty. It went something like this...win centre tap - handball on - long kick into the 50 - mark - goal. Rinse and repeat. Once that happened it got boring, I played it for the last time once I had won the GF by 100 odd points lol, there wasn't any incentive to continue after that.
It was a real pity because while everyone was still learning it was a lot of fun with close games etc. They just made the marking and tap system far too easy once you had mastered them. All they needed to do was program an element of randomness to it or make it rely on the player's stats, but those AFL games were usually cheap and nasty and didn't have the budget or experience working on them to make it that in-depth.

The first Shane Warne game by Codemasters on the PSX was decent back in the day, same with the first one they made on PS2 under the Ricky Ponting name. Too bad all the rest of the players had fake names with one letter changed like McGreth, Haydin, Maralitharan, Lora, etc. due to licensing.

It'll also cost you like half as much too.

Nice.
With all the recent media whinging about online shopping not supporting the local retailers, they wonder why people go for that option. If only they wised up and put proper laws in place and didn't indulge in so much profiteering then they could take full advantage of what is a million dollar + industry in Australia.

GDC 2011: The Next Generation of Games, According to Epic
This is what the future looks like, according to the Gears of War guys.
Epic Games' Unreal Engine is seen by many as the industry standard for cutting edge graphics and detail, and has been since the original Gears of War shipped. Unreal, however, is an iterative engine, meaning Epic continues tweaking it.
The following shots are, as Epic's Mark Rein told us today, the company's "love letter to hardware manufacturers." In other words, this is what Epic sees as the next next generation of graphics. Technically developers who use Unreal can play with this tech next month, though it would take a pretty beefy computer to run what you see here in real time (the demo we just saw requires three graphics cards).
Pay particular attention to the lighting effects, and let us know what you think in the comments. And before you ask, no, this isn't a new game -- just a proof of concept! (But then again, that's what Epic said when they first showed Gears of War.)

Whats your Origin, didnt get a request
When I die. I want to be frozen. And if they have to freeze me in pieces, so be it. I will wake up stronger than ever, because I will have used that time, to figure out exactly why I died. And what moves I could have used to defend myself better now that I know what hold he had me in.

Not having a clue what a mechanical keyboard was, I Googled and found this.
Quote from: Overclock.net
So Why do YOU want a Mechanical Keyboard?
For most people it's all about the feel. With the keyboard you're typing on right now you've got to press the key all the way down to the bottom to get it to register. This wastes a lot of energy and causes fatigue, as most of your effort is spent pushing against a solid piece of plastic. Mechanical keyswitches are designed so that they register before you bottom out, so you only need to apply as much force as is necessary to actuate it, not wasting any. And with as many different types of switches as there are you can pick and choose which one you're the most comfortable with, as each one has a different feel to it. And most people who try one can never go back to using rubber domes, as they realize just how "mushy" they really feel.
The part in bold... oh man.

The main reason I want a mechanical keyboard is for the sound of the keys when they're pressed, but they are nicer to use as well.

[video: www.youtube.com]
Available now on Steam for a mere $39.99 as well as about a million different DLC packs for trains and tracks. Get onto it! See you in the servers with my beast Class 150/2 DMU, the mainstay of British Rail's fleet.
Check this out...so phat!
Quote
The Class 150/2 DMU is a familiar sight across England, Wales and Scotland thanks to its widespread usage by regional operators. Now available for Train Simulator 2012, this is a super-detailed model with highly-detailed controls and cab features which have been developed to get you as close as possible to operating a real Class 150/2.
Developed jointly by Oovee and Thomson Interactive, the Class 150/2 is a recreation of these familiar second generation diesel multiple units, built by BREL in York as part of the programme to replace British Rail’s ageing fleet of heritage DMUs. Operating across the UK the 150/2s soon became a familiar sight, going on to find new owners following the privatisation of the network, and continuing to carry passengers all over the country to this day. Each unit in the train formation is powered by a 286-horsepower diesel engine with hydraulic transmission, enabling the 150/2 to reach 75 mph and making it ideal for local and stopping services.
OMG!

Wow, this looks pretty nuts. I wonder how scripted the movement is though as this playthrough seems like you need to follow the format unless those things are happening automatically (which would be annoying). It looks like you have some choices in what happens as well which is cool.

Yeah I have to say that is one thing the Libs really got right...let the parents do their job and hand out a few free copies of Net Nanny if they want some help doing so.
Then again you never know, they might take the same approach anyway as the issue these days as it appears a large part of the "problem" is that the graphics and animations are getting much more realistic thus enhancing the supposed impact of the content.

It’s regrettable that government policy in Australia is denying adults the right to play Syndicate. The game will be not be available in Australia despite its enthusiastic response from fans. We were encouraged by the government’s recent agreement to adopt an 18+ age rating for games. We urge policy makers to take swift action to implement an updated policy that reflects today’s market and gives its millions of adult consumers the right to make their own content choices.
• We are not releasing Syndicate in Australia. The reason for this is because we do not have an R18+ in place as yet.
• We will not be appealing the RC decision. Syndicate is a game made for a mature audience and any changes to would significantly affect the game’s quality and appeal.
• Syndicate will continue to be released in New Zealand (unchanged) on the 24th February 2012, and has a confirmed rating of R18+

I probably should have finished New Vegas before starting Skyrim, I have only done one small quest and it was EPIC. Goodbye real world, I'll see you in a couple of months.
The Binding of Isaac is damn awesome too if anyone wants something fun to mess around with, very addictive.
Hmmm what else, Saints Row 3 is too annoying to play on PC (buggy), and I'm not sure I like it anyway. L.A. Noire is good, very different but will have to wait a while I think. MW3 is just insane, looks amazing and gameplay is just as frenetic as you would expect. Payday - The Heist is gay, give this one a miss. Driver San Fran is bloody good. Farming Simulator will always hold a special place in my heart.

Any one a fan of the resident evil games?? I got hooked ever since I watched the Resident Evil: Degeneration movie after I bought a bunch of DVDs at a discount with Groupon , and I came across the video game a week or 2 later. It’s my favourite action game that I’ve ever laid my hands one, I find it much more realistic than most of the other first person shooters. Maybe not the Zombies, but all the things you can shoot, whether it’s flying at you or waiting for you, is all quite impressive.

It’s been a long time coming — today the Federal Minister for Home Affairs, Jason Clare, introduced the R18+ bill in parliament and announced that it is expected to come into effect early 2013.
In his second reading of the R18+ legislation in parliament, Clare said: “This will bring the classification categories for computer games into line with existing categories used to classify films, and make the Australian classification regime more consistent with international standards.”
“This reform has been a long time coming. Agreement to introduce an R18+ category has been reached after ten years of negotiations with the states and territories. Over these ten years the Australian computer game industry has grown–along with the number of Australian computer gamers.”
Clare said that the legislation will first be introduced at a federal level and, if passed, states and territories will follow with their own legislation.
According to GameSpot AU, the bill requires the support of at least two cross-bench MPs to make it through the Lower House. To pass the Senate, the bill will require the support of either the Coalition of the Greens.

Started Skyrim last week. Loving it so far. Wish I could crank the graphics a bit more though.
When I die. I want to be frozen. And if they have to freeze me in pieces, so be it. I will wake up stronger than ever, because I will have used that time, to figure out exactly why I died. And what moves I could have used to defend myself better now that I know what hold he had me in.

The last one they did with Kobe on the cover sucked. It was still far too arcadey...if they fix that they could be a contender...
Also this might interest a few people on here... some pretty mind blowing statistics!

Yeah I love it. The only worry is that because you never have a physical copy of the game if anything changes or goes belly up in the future you won't be able to fire up old games that you paid for.
Of course with those numbers it doesn't look likely to happen but you've still given them all of the control.

If it was on Steam they probably would be. It makes the matchmaking process so much easier. It's great how a lot of old games are on board... I'd pay a few bucks for a Soldier of Fortune collection for sure. I played through the whole first one and it would be cool to revisit it. The big cannon that blew off arms and legs in one hit was awesome lol!

Simple formula, pick up and play for 1 minute or 3 hours. I always go back now and then.

For anyone here interested in flight sims (looking at you Stryke and Leezee), the latest version of Microsoft's Flight Simulator has been released and it is now free-to-play.
Check it out here: http://www.microsoft.com/games/flight/
I always loved these games back in the day, tooling around cities like LA and New York checking out the skyline, etc.

Isn't that just another way of saying "I haven't been single for years"?

Pretty much. I don't play it any more either but it's still the best flight sim I have ever played.
On the same topic; the new Microsoft flight is pretty cool but the PAYG model is shit and seems pretty expensive considering that you can fly around the entire world with other flight sims (including FSX) for the cost of one game, rather than a gazillion in-game purchases.

A new multi-platform gaming site has just launched with an Australian/community based focus. Blogs on anything gaming related from community members is a bit part of it, as are the forums. But also expect all your news, rumours and reviews etc.
www.another-castle.com
I've had some small involvement in the project and we're trying to create something unique.
They're even giving away a Wii-U in a competition found on the site.
I'll shut up now, but please give it a look-see!

Speaking of, here's an interesting little video about some things people might not know about the GTA franchise.

Plus three more screenshots have been released for GTAV...
I love that house, it looks like something Vinnie and the boys stayed in in Entourage. Hopefully you can go inside a lot of these places.

There's talk that all of the released screenshots are from the PC version...
I think there's little chance the console versions will look as good.

That is for certain.
Real gamers use a PC anyway.

I haven't yet but I am keen.
Steam sales have spoiled me though, I will wait until it comes down a fair bit in price, I'm not keen on paying that much at the moment.

I just purchased NBA 2K13 on Steam, bring it on!
I thought they would reduce the price on 2K12 as a result but no, for some reason it is $49.99 and the new one is $29.99.
I would really like it for the Legends games!
Edit: This game is awesome! Absolutely killer soundtrack, though unfortunately it's censored! They have slowed the gameplay down a fair bit, it makes it easier to run your plays and scope the court and wide open shots don't miss anymore, which was one of my major gripes from previous games - you had to tweak the sliders to make it playable. It might be too good though, I just played the Daily Matchup challenge, Nets vs. Knicks, and Joe Johnson top scored with 30 PTS on 12-12 FGM and 6-6 3PM! He could not miss!
