360 in trouble

[Lead Head]

Considering the options for playing games:

1) Keep Winblow$ for playing games, this also means buying new vid card

2) Buy a PS3 ... even if it includes DMR

3) Try to make Wine work ... it won't

4) Buy an XBox 360 and have it crash quite often

5) Give up and shoot yourself in the head, cuz everything on this planet sux ass

So ... which is the better choice ... the lesser of the evils ? I say #2

Of course, I will also play opensource games for Linux, but there are only so many, and I'll get bored of them some day.

To play games you use cedega/WineX. I got it installed and running on Fedora Core 4

The correct answer is to buy a Mac and play Apeiron X and Tetris until the end of time.  That's my plan, so far.

Don't be ridiculous, it's not the electronic engineer's fault. It is the project management team and the penny pinchers who come in and force them to make their circuits cheaper (and crapper).

Knowing some of the idiot engineers who've designed stuff for us at work it could be the designer's fault, but I accept what you're saying is probably a far more likely explanation.

it's probebly the design teams fault...a psu that powers a powerful machine (yes he xbox360 pwns 95% of computers in gaming) in a tiny little box, maybe they need to put on some heatsinks / airflow ducts, or stick it inside the xbox with some active cooling.

Another possibility is the mechanical engineers who've designed the case haven't provided adequate ventilation for the electronic componants.

Classic game, most of those games that have been ported to X are true classics.

Anyone played Greebles? :thumbup:

The OS X version is great.  It has 16-bit graphics, internet scores, and such.  Problem is, it's almost unplayable with a trackpad, and I have no USB mice around.  I'll have to buy a Bluetooth one for myself.  I got to try it with a real mouse at school, and I'm pretty good (I was a master at MS Centipede, after all), but the shareware version only goes to level 15 (which is a piece of cake to get to).  The only serial I can find online doesn't work though...fuck it, I'll just buy the thing.  The all-time high score is ~49,000,000 on level 6,824...I have some work to do.

As for my precious Tetris, nothing beats the 1-bit/8-bit color Spectrum Holobyte version.  Period.

Unreal Tournament gets soooo boring after a while ... doesn't it ? Maybe if they came up with a really good mod, then it might be fun again.

So I'm not alone.  Yeah, it does.

Dude, there are more mods for UT than Willie Wartaal's gold theeth!

[Lead Head]

theres WW2 mods and all kinds of stuff. There is even a game where you get stuff like dual link guns, MP5s and Shotguns

Nobody plays most of them ... and there are only a few good ones and they also get boring after a while.

almost every ut2004 multiplayer game is a mod
