Thoth

Yeah, I wonder myself why I didn't start an all caps thread with me going crazy. Anyhow, I normally main Vega, but I've been playing with Fei Long, who is great because no one has any idea what to do against him, and they don't realize both his juggling and his range are improved. He goes through fireballs now!

Thanks for the close match, Taiga. It gives me things to work with.

Wow, really? I thought they were yanking your chain. Surprised that was the fix.

Ever since I downloaded SF HD Remix, I haven't played Gears 2. I also played Battle Fantasia on 360 recently. Online is dead, but it's still a fun game. I met some people that live near me in HD Remix. Now they all want to go to Arcade Infinity. I get the impression that there aren't that many fighter players on this board. It's my favorite genre, and I would love to play people here. I am playing: SF HD Remix Arcana Heart KoF 11 Neo Geo Battle Coliseum Looking forward to: KoF 98 Ultimate Match SF 4

Several arcade games are available for online play for silver members this month. Most notably, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo HD Remix.

I had a 614v6 some time ago. Sucked for gaming. Try disabling the SPI Firewall. If that doesn't work, Netgear sucks.

I always wondered whether the VG boards needed a mod. On topic: I remember when Acclaim went out of business... the rights to Iggy's Wreckin' Balls went for $3000. Of course, that was for the rights to publish the Nintendo 64 game. In case of a Midway firesale, I call dibs on The Suffering.

Wrestlecrap Radio is probably terrible, but I find it endlessly hilarious.

If you want to port forward, you HAVE to set your computer up to connect using a static IP. No matter what router you get, you will HAVE to do this. Just follow the directions at portforward.com, it's actually not that hard to do. I would tell you what to do, but I'd just be repeating the information. When it comes to router setup, it truly is best to learn by doing. Trust me, I know it seems like a pain in the ass to do it, I know. But it's really worth it in the end. And by the way, routerlogin.com is just netgear's website with a special DNS redirect if you have a Netgear router to 192.168.1.1 (or 0.1, what the fuck ever). I guess now is as good a time as any to say that I have been, and still am, vocally against Netgear routers, as they have some kind of Peer-To-Peer firewall or some shit that redirects gaming packets into the abyss. I recommend Linksys. At any rate, with proper UPnP (Universal Plug n Play) setup, you're supposed to be able to use the Xbox without port forwarding (but I port forward anyway in the hopes it keeps my NAT open). Aside: Worst tech support ever was when Nintendo told me to forward all my ports on my router. I asked them to get someone on the phone who knew what they were talking about. They said this is what you had to do. I asked them why the Wii just didn't use one port, and they said that the Wii randomizes its port. If you take half of a computer networking class, you know this is a FUCKING LIE FUCK YOU NINTENDO. Incidentally, the problem was that Smash Brothers was fucked on their end. They fixed it later, and then denied anything was wrong. Edit: If you are looking for free tech support from a router company, you will find none exist for phone support, and email support is spotty at best. You may get help for initial setup, but they will usually not do port forwarding over the phone (maybe by email). Seriously, portforward.com is the business.

You can complete Follow in his Footsteps early by doing a number of things (And you don't get achievement credit unless you do it the "right" way).

Cowboy is correct, although I think with Netgear routers, try 192.168.0.1 if 1.1 does not work. The default username and password is indeed those. Port Forward has tutorials for you.

There will never be a cheat device for the 360. For any product to interact directly with the hardware, Microsoft has to license it. Note that there are no unlicensed third party 360 controllers. There is a cheat device for the Wii, though, I believe.

I donated a controller. Not very exciting, but I figure kids have germs, so they'll need a lot of controllers or something.

I'm up to 4 medals myself, but way to win all categories.

I'm going to be on in the early afternoon Friday. If I see any of you on, invites go out.

Got Infinite Undiscovery, GOW 2, Spore Parts Pack, Boom Blox, and Dead Space. Just under $90. EDIT - Didn't see WotLK on sale. Got that plus a Wii Fit Battery Back for $33.

Agreed. I would LOVE to play through from beginning to end.

I would play Ultimate Alliance if I had people to play with; playing Solo doesn't seem to make a lot of sense.

I knew my unusual rage against Punk for that retarded thread in Technology had some meaning.

Hopefully, D'Lo Brown will be in DLC Pack #2, so we can get some moves there.

It is the arrangement of this particular event, and by mod request, that Urban Champion is a bannable offense,

Last year, we did a secret santa. And it was good. So we are doing it again this year. Here are the rules: If you want to participate, you will post here saying so. I will update this first post with the list of participants. The cutoff date is December 17th. Shortly after, I will use my advanced computer programming skills (random number generator) to decide who is matched with who, and PM the appropriate people as to whom they are buying for. In order to participate, you will need to post: Your Country where your Wii is Your Wii Number (if it is not already in the Wii Numbers thread) Any games you would prefer not to recieve You will only be matched up with people in your same country. This is due to Nintendo's restrictions on gift-giving. You will purchase one, and only one, title, from either WiiWare or Virtual Console for your recipient. There is no cost limit to what you may purchase, though, nor should you take into account whether the game takes up too much space. There are, however, a list of games that should not be gifted. Smues has already stated that there will be consequences for giving a game on this list. I also encourage you to post any games you think should be universally banned. Finally, Xbox 360 and PS3 are not included as the 360 does not have a decent gift-giving ability (I bet you didn't know it even HAS one to begin with), and I am unsure of the PS3's ability to do so. Current Participants: United States Thoth (Does not want Mega Man 1, 2, or 3, no games found in the Sega Genesis Collection or Sonic Mega Collection Plus) Smues Canada DrVenkman PhD (Does not want Mega Man 1, 2, or 3, and no games found in the Sega Genesis Collection or Sonic Mega Collection Plus) Banned Games: Urban Champion

Your Re-Re is a re-re forever. But now you can make a NEW character as a Permanoob.

Seconded.

FYI, if you play with your CAW online, and he uses Custom Music, your opponents will hear the sweet sounds of silence.
