Kinikko -- that is a pretty cool 3DS.  I dig the Monster Hunter 4 3DS as well.. there are cool versions out there.

I bought the smaller 3DS with Ocarina - styled for Zelda Ocarina... it's a pretty console.  I let the pretty console site and bought a standard blue one for playing.

The 2DS is pretty cool as well (without the 3D)... especially for those who cannot play the 3D version.   We end up playing Animal Crossing Wild World DS, Mario Kart DS, and Animal Crossing New Leaf 3DS... and a couple other games.   We have a blast with the system.  @Target.. that sucks you had that bad of experiences... worst = barfed on lol.

I agree - I like having the option of 3DS... but I never use it.  The systems with 3D just seem better built than the 3DS.  But you do save $50 buying a 2DS.  I Think it was $50...  but the screen hinges just seem more loose with 2DS.

The only burnout I ever played was Burnout Revenge and that's only cause my cousin loved the multiplayer crash mode.  Does Paradise have something like that?  Or is it a feature in all Burnout games?

There was a crash mode called Showtime.  This allowed you to flip your car and then boost while flipping to hit all the vehicles and signs.   Busses added multipliers.  As long as you hit stuff, your boost refills.

is this what you're talking about.


@ TArget... I'm buying PS4 version as well.

PUMPED!

Did they say if they were going to eventually provide backward compatibility?   Or is it just not going to happen?

That was a nice gift from your wife!

Alright... it's a pretty fun game... we have a lot of fun building creations in MineCraft.

But I noticed we have a crazy number of installations of Pocket and Console editions.  I actually do not have this on PC yet.

Post it up!  How many installations of Pocket, Console, and / or PC version of Minecraft do you have?

yawning is banned.   

yyyeeaaahhhh lol... I'm monitoring how they're looking at accessing the site via the server logs.  They still be lurking.

[Also, please see Reply #28 above - and let me know.]

It is best to just keep everything simple then and not rock the boat. It is a total giant headache when something gets whacked.

Yeah - It really was a pain modifying everything.  It was awesome while doing it... tons of cool features... but when it comes time to upgrade, you generally have to upgrade and then re-install all mods.   Sometimes it works seamlessly... other times it doesn't.  There are definitely a few additional mods I'd like to add.

Is it possible to embed youtube videos? I know you can link to them but some forums allow you to actually watch the video in the thread. Not a big deal but a feature I think is really cool.

speaking of mods... There is a mod I'm looking into right now.  It would be the 2nd mod installed on this forum if installed... but it allows embedding like this.

do you see embedding super useful?  This mod would make embedding possible for a TON of different services.

Also, please see Reply #28 above - and let me know.

I'm also Trying to figure out if we should add more boards and categories to what we already have up (on top of the market idea above)... but not exactly sure what we should add at this time.

YEAH MEMBERS LIST!  What Kinikko said!

Unbeatable because we could never get them to work after awhile due to "network issues."

Anything Command and Conquer Generals and After .... Post EA buy out.   Spartan, MasterMario, and I would always try to skirmish against AI. No matter what we did... we ran into a network issue at some point during the match.   Quite frustrating.  We wanted to play Command and Conquer pretty bad but were hamstrung by EA's crappy net code.  It was SO BAD... that the crappy net code followed later games such and Command and Conquer 3... which would give us the exact same error.

lol I know you are. I've known you long time.

Yeah. I worked in IT in an automotive factory.   And still hear a lot.  It doesn't bother me.  In many cases it sounds dumb but your point on sometimes it just conveys the message - yes lol. I still listen to metal lol.  I like the hitman's body guard and tons of different movies.

I guess the other way to put it is this:

Personally, I want a cool place to go that people are friendly and are respectful.  I get not everyone gets along all the time, but agree to disagree... and a place I can post and do stuff at work on lunch or whatever without worrying who's looking or what the filters are tracking.  That's the selfish part there.  But a place I like to share with anyone that would like to join and participate. And a place that people love to go to and enjoy.  Build memories. 

Idk. Maybe that's a pipe dream.

There is a karma feature on the board for users.  I haven't turned this on.

2.1 is in beta right now and this version offers more of these features.  It's just not ready for a 'production/live' run though.

It also has the @ tagging like Mario mentioned.

There are some mods ... but if you remember how modded the board was before we had a few issues where I had to up upgrade and then lose features, I'm trying to keep things as stock as possible to avoid this in the future. But we can look into them at some point of 2.1 is a long way off.

Lol. Ok.  I can leave t longer. Maybe others like it too then?

Lol it was a reference. Guess not a good one. Changed to trolls and baiters.  More correct I suppose. Either way, synonymous.

No bullying. Respect people and their opinions.  Etc etc. I don't want sexual stuff around. 

Does this make sense?

 

Yeah. At some point this has to be addressed. Pg13 sounds good. But here's the thing... respectful Amd knowledgeable ... courteous posts.

Look ... sites like quora, stack exchange, Atari age and a whole host of other sites didn't become big by people acting like a bunch of disrespectful trolls and baiters.  This is coming from someone who finds the hitman's body guard a hilarious movie.

I disagree on this point a bit. I've seen posts and content ... and flames take forums apart or descend into disrepair.  Understand what's invited on once you start heavily going down that path.

I cannot state this is right and wrong and set every stupid scenario.  I hate micromanagement with a passion. 

Any of that make sense? Lol

delmonicos? Isn't that one of Emeril's restaurants?

Yes. We each ate a whole restaurant 

I get the "thank you Mario but our princess is in another castle" message from the link..

Try now... fixed the link.  Missed a double quote.

Speaking of that... we ended up watching all the LOTR movies over the last week. We are going to start he Hobbit movies tonight.

Time to break out the Hobbit book and maybe buy the Silmarillion soon and make it through that book. It's been a long time.

I think I might turn off the last 10 posts. I've grown a bit more accustomed to it... any other thoughts?

Everyone good with everything?

Questions, comments, concerns? Lol

Ok -  I will leave them for now.  The option I can set would remove the quotes in quotes when quoting a topic.

The way it is now, quotes are indefinite. 

I don't mind them either, curious on what others like. Feel free to post up.

Did you buy and use a Nintendo 3DS?


This system has a ton of great games... it's hard to not have it in a collection.

Post up likes and dislikes ... your thoughts... etc!

I ran into an interesting article on IGN and thought I would post it here:

Rejected names for the original Xbox on IGN

The one that makes sense... Directx Box.  This makes sense due to Directx software in windows used for gaming and other stuff.   I guess that's how they derived the name Xbox.

Thoughts!  Post it up!

Great post, retro!  I dig reading these.

What Steam store games have you bought that were taken down and no longer exist on the Steam store?


Explain the games and if they were they good or bad? 

Post it up!

No one else hoards crap on their wish list just in case?

Up until now, I used to.   I kept a lot of stuff on there.  But I changed up how I did things 

Lol yes. That's a part of compromise.

The lady and I are cooking up delmonicos tonight ... surrounded by sautéed onions!  Can't wait for these lol... we don't get delmonicos that often,  but when we do... they are crushed.

Cool. I'll change those boards and we'll run with that.   We can change this in the future as well. 

With this board, I want us to do things that make sense, good for the future, and that make for a good experienfe over all ... plus give ample opportunities for creating topics and posts and a large scale.   We can always change as everything changes in the future.

I want to avoid as much extra work as possible all together including moving posts around. Topics gain search engine rankings and followings and if we move them, they can lose some of that pull.  Yes, there are ways to redirect topics that point to the new posts, but there's still good chance to lose that following. 

That's all - just thinking ahead.

Pot roast ... omm nommm nommm so tasty.

You're not late to the party  . Welcome retro lol.

See... the big conundrum of ega was I had to take time off for stuff going on in life.   Things progressed for awhile but then many members wouldn't post because topics weren't created they wanted.  Some wouldn't take the time to create the topics they wanted that would interest them and others.  The forum was reliant on several members / posters had the same thing as I, sometimes life happens and you have to handle it. 

That's what I want to be different this time - somehow.  I want it to be about the community - which ega was in a sense, but Hopefully this can be achieved this time with more success.  At some point I'll post about this because maybe others have different perspectives I'm not seeing   


We are in the beginning stages now, so it will take some push to get this rolling.  However, I'm hoping members will put into it what they want to see out of it.   If they don't see what they want, create it.  Create topics and conversations for more people to discuss and get into.  This is supposed to be a fun side project.  And I hope it creates value for people in the way of enjoyment and fun in their lives.
