I see that Null no longer is purged

And the forums got upgraded. Sweet.

And 34 pages of topics with new posts were found. Been awhile.

Re: Some HDTV questions

Do not keep the 20GB. It is crap. Unless you never, ever plan to hook it up to the internet, stay the goddamn hell away from the 20GB. It has no wi-fi, no card reader ports (more useful than you'd think), and really just isn't great. And, to be honest, the system sucks regardless at the moment. Its ...

I bought Super Bomberman '93 when I had my Wii. It sucked balls. Shame they released DKC after I sold my Wii. I would've bought that for sure. That game was the shit. First video game I ever bought for a home console. Memories. Do you like the other Bomberman titles? If so, what's the big differenc...

Buy/resell tickets. With the NFL playoffs coming up, buying a few choice seats to a big market team's home game (i.e., Philadelphia, Dallas, New York) could bring in $100+ profit for a pair. Maybe more, depending on what section you get the tickets in. The bonuses are, tickets don't take up much spa...

How do we know the $500 is really going to charity? Fair question. I'll give you four reasons. 1) The aforementioned screenshot of the successful donation via the Red Cross website. I'll do a series of them to prove that I went through the whole process. If they send me a letter/email confirmation,...

I managed to buy three. Not hard to find at all. If you're in the US, lurk on Amazon.com's Wii forums. The people there will post the minute something goes on sale online. It's usually a bundle, but there are good/reasonable bundles out there, so really, it's cool.

You can pick up Kameo/Perfect Dark Zero/Project Gotham 3 for around $20 now. Burnout Revenge, too. If you're a fan of those genres, then they're all worth the cash. Otherwise, Viva Pinata looks intriguing, to say the least, but I don't know if that would be something to spend $50 on. My personal fav...

If the Xbox 360 can emulate the original Xbox, it should be able to emulate the Dreamcast as well.

And the 360/regular Xbox have vastly different processor structures.

$170 in cash (I find it amazing with some of you guys - I think $170 is crazy, but $400 and $700? Amazing) Yeah, but you also have to notice how small the list of "other" things those guys got is. Put the monetary value of all of your other gifts together with the $170 you got in cash, an...

Go get Gears of War, Dead Rising, and the full version of Geometry Wars Evolved. Three best games on the 360, hands down. Personally, I've found everything else to be a bit "meh" (Oblivion/GRAW included) or just ports of current gen stuff, but those three are great.

Yeah, I do. I usually give the guy a good one too (25-30%). I'll tell you something. You give the pizza guy $3 - $4 for a $12 order, he gets down to your house within 15 minutes of ordering. No joke. I'd say it's worth it, if you frequent the restaurant/delivery place a lot. If you don't, 15% works ...

I've gotten about 6 or 7 people interested so far, which isn't much, but there's still time. If anyone who is interested would like to help me out, post it on some other forums you frequent. I posted it on Digital Press, DCEmu and DCH. About $500 will go to charity if the raffle goes through. By the...

I've actually played both. Right now, the 360 trounces the crap out of the PS3. If you want to compare launches, they're about equal at launch. PS3 costs a bit more, but I'd say Resistance is a better game than PDZ (both of which are pretty mediocre). However, you do have a decent amount of multi-pl...

Z-2300s are really, really good for gaming and movies. They aren't fucking around when they say THX certified. I've had a pair for awhile, and they work great.

Updated it with pics. There's just one raffle now, but all the proceeds go to the Red Cross. One ticket buys you a shot at winning both a Wii and PS3. Guess one or both right and it could be a good XMas holiday, methinks. And a good holiday for those the Red Cross benefits. Cheers, thanks for the ki...

Super Bowl Raffle for a PS3/Wii [for Red Cross]!

I'm going to do a raffle for a Playstation 3 (60 GB) and a Nintendo Wii. Tickets are $15 each, with 100 available. The $15 will purchase you a lot of information on the Wii/PS3, which will be delivered to you via email. As a bonus for doing that, you will be entered in the charity raffle. That's jus...
