triverse

I have heard that Digital Leisure is securing more funding and working on bringing some of the other titles they have the rights to out on Wii (I am personally hoping for Dracula Unleashed myself for any newer console or re-released on PC).

Oh, I agree, it is a great introduction type game, set her up with a high limit credit card, point her to the skins and let her loose. I just don't care for it that much, course I didn't have access to the PSN to trade levels and such so I was pretty limited with my time with it. My fiancee would probably be all over it.

That is weird. I would mess with it but, well, I learned my lesson the 13th... On topic, I don't care for Little Big Planet.

They don't? Anything new is supposed to show up there.

Ah, Hidinger, I fear that we are a dying breed that remembers copy protection being the sort that required the manual or some other pack in to advance in the game (remember The Enchanter from Infocom? You had what, a sun dial, pinwheel and some other things in the box and the game would ask for something from one of those as a character so it was believable?). I agree though with Hidinger on his other points too, the manual should be of the same time period. I remember the Alternate Reality: The Dungeon manual for Commodore (not sure on other versions as this was the ony version I played new) it's manual used the same typeface as the game, same dialogue and all. It had all kinds of details on monsters and weapons and even pages for some of the stores and guilds with a place to write prices of stuff in (and extra spaces for things they might sell that weren't listed). It was really cool.

We may not have to wait 15 years for that...

The date has been cast to the world from the highest mountains, through storms of such intensity that no one has seen before, the days are numbered, "it is coming." What is "it" you might be asking? Well, according to Steve Harris' twitter and Facebook page, plans are set in motion for EGM to return on December 1st. Why is that significant? Why is that relevant? If you are asking that, why are you on Retromags? It is significant because something that started as a dream and became a world wide known magazine, is back under the ownership of the leader that started it all, the heart of EGM has returned. It will come back, it will rise again. Sources: Steve Harris' twitter and Facebook.

I think MU stops you at about 700 megs to 1gig of downloads and makes you wait (it says 24 hours but after about an hour I have been able to start downloading again so who knows).

Well, we know you can access twitter from in World of Worldcraft and even on your old Commodore 64 but who are some of the people you may be needing to keep tabs on? How about, Leon and Claire from the Resident Evil franchise? They are following each other on twitter and right now there is about a 100 follower difference with Leon in the lead. What do they talk about? RE stuff of course. Thanks to Kotaku for the news scoop on this.

Have you tried loooking into Evony? It is advertised all over the place as a browser game, whatever that means, I am not sure what uses flash and what doesn't anymore.

I don't really frequent places other than RM that have download links off of the site (the places that do deal with file front, gamershell and others-mostly game demos and such, not many people uploading those to sites like RS and MF).

I believe most people have a problem with RS and MU because of the wait time imposed on free members which is anywhere from 5 minutes to 15 or 20 minutes between file downloads, plus free members can only have one file downloading at a time. I have never had a problem with RS or MU being "down" when I wanted a file, never used Mediafire so I don't know about them, so I can't complain. The wait is negligible to me.

Your welcome. I found it in 1999 from a college professor I had. They have some great articles up about building an awesome media center machine for under $500 (they update the parts as they come down in price, while not a powerhouse at editing, it blows away most people's "dream" machine in many respects at a third the price).

http://www.tomshardware.com Check around their forums and ask about a pre-built you are interested in, they are great people over there and a few members have become close friends of mine that I pester for advice when I need help in a pinch. They can give you info on any problems they may have had (as many of the users there own more than one computer from various manufacturer's and put them through their paces).

Quality of parts mainly for me. Dell may sell something similar to what you could build but for less because they use cheaper parts. You may have a nice heatsink on your build costing you close to $50, it will work great, can't say the same for the Dell, same thing with power supplies. Those are the two places a lot of money is cut from (well, they are the #1 reason for computers getting thrown out where I live). A local shop just threw out 50 2.2 gig P4's because the power supplies were bad-those bad boys are sitting in my shed now. Total cost? About $13 in gas to goto town round trip, then the cost of the replacement parts and I am in business. Edit: E-Day posted while I wrote that up there: Keep in mind, some pre-builds like HP and some others block you from using certain parts that aren't from them officially. I ran into this problem with a power supply for a Compaq, if I could have used a normal power supply it was going to be $45 for one that would fit it. Since they used proprietary power supplies that no one is exactly sure on what is different, I had to spend $225 for one from Compaq themselves. Also, I have run into Dells that won't let you use Nvidia video cards at all, but an Ati boots up just fine. Weird. About the case, just get one of the "Wii" PC cases

Seems that Sega still has stuff to give away, so why not follow them on twitter after checking out this vid of what is up for grabs tomorrow? For details on the contest, check the Sega Blog

We were supposed to be running stuff by Philly? News to me.

Anything you wish to donate is a welcome donation here s1500. Thank you for your hard work here lately in getting some of the rarest mags up like you have.

Just wanted to drop in and let everyone here, that is interested in it, that 32-bit systems, PSOne, Saturn and 3DO along with Atari Jaguar among others will be featured on GNET Underground this Friday, the 21st, at 9 pm EST. Anyone wishing to participate, either in chat or to call in and give your two cents, please visit the Gamer Network Radio site at: http://gamernetworkradio.com So if your not doing much this Friday night, why not come over and give the show a listen? I participated in the show on the 14th and it is quite interesting, here is a write up I did of that show.

$8!!! That's it, Retromags is broke now! lol That is cheap for something like that, congrats on finding it.

Bet you thought I forgot about this thread, well, nope, just waiting for something interesting to be released to post here. Welcome to the latest addition to Little Big Planet: Water. How long before we get recreations of World 2 of SMB? Or level 4 (I think) of Mr. Nutz? Snatched from VG247.com

Seems that come December you will be able to purchase comics through the PSN for use on your PSP or PS3 systems. Not many hard details are available, like price, but it is known that Marvel is participating in the offering so get ready for Spider-Man, Hulk, X-Men and the many other franchises they offer to be represented in this.

I hope we are just sticking with the 3.0 on this one, if not, let me know now so I can arrange a day to go back and change those links back...

Depends on what your essentials are, for me, I have it, um, auto installing when I re-install Windows on my machines.
