Gaming room (It's a geeks paradise)

[Keef]

Felt the need to come on here in shock. I just looked up wireless adaptors for the xbox360, so I can go online. I was expecting it to be ?20 or something. Amazon want pretty much ?80 for it!!!! Have seen it for ?40, but even that is well out of order IMO.

For the time being, I shall be gaming offline!

[EDKiwi]

Yeah they are well out of order with their pricing, I got lucky and found one on Amazon for a tenner from cash converters in Scotland, guess they didn't realise how much they usually go for.

You can use a wired connection, or is that not an option for you?

Edit: Seems to be a few on Ebay for 35 quid for 'Buy it now' or auctions starting at 99p.

[mockney piers]

Yep go wired. Doesn't have to be wireless

[Keef]

I know, but location of my moden is not ideal for it.

[Floating Onion]

Sorry, didn't even think about the wireless cost. That said, unless you're planning to play other people online then it doesn't need to be connected. Just move it near the modem when updates come out to download them & then move it back. A pain, but cheaper than that & only needs to be every few months if that.

[Keef]

Hey, you've nothing to sat sorry about. Yeah, I cann't really see myself playing online, so maybe that's the best way, just connect it when I want to download stuff...

[ratty]

Chat Sean up. He did have a spare some time ago. Failing that, check ebay and Sainsbury's.

[bob]

I think I saw Sainsbury's for about ?46.00 but I'm so rubbish I don't go on line just get killed of by the box.

Good to See COD:MW2 getting the recognition it deserves...

Anyone out there playing on the PC and care for an evening's frolicks?

[mockney piers]

quite enjoying Trine, oly 5 quid off steam at the moment.

Sort of super mario meets braid, or Prince of Persia (original) gets graphical update.

[mockney piers]

Revisiting Deus Ex.

Grphically really showing its age, but as spoilt as we've become with bump mapping and blooming and physics and graphic in genereal post half life 2 and far cry, playing it reminds you of just how much is missing from most games, I'd even include Half LIife 2 in that. Decent story and writing and intrigue and interest and suspense.

Bioshock came close I guess, but I can't think of anything that matched this old fella since.

Mass Effect 2

[SeanMacGabhann]

took me what, over a week to beat your score, and even then I've only just done it. I don't expect it to last

[david_carnell]

Right, I've just downloaded that.....GAME ON!

Btw, Playman Track & Field is worth a punt on the iphone. Nice calm, button-bashing action. Don't break another screen, Sean.

109400 S-4, 8 in a row.

Come on carnell, game is afoot.

[david_carnell]

3 days in and I'm up to 45000 and 4 in row.

Some way to go it would seem....especially as you are sleep deprived as well currently!

[mockney piers]

The key is to enter a zen like state and let instinct govern your actions. 'Think not, do'; or 'use the force' would both seem appropriate.

Sleep deprivation probably helps in this respect. Plus, as I've mentioned to SMG, the secret is play when you're having a number two!!

A week in and I'm now hovering around the 70k mark and my strings are beginning to come together. But goddamn those are good scores.

Damn it. Can't watch at work as I'll probably laugh out loud given his previous work.
