EDF? It's not boring on co-op.

Just playing Modern Warfare 2 at the moment, but I'm not really liking it all that much so I'll probably return to my backlog soon enough.

When on the go, I've been messing with emulators again on the PSP using my PSP3000. The screen makes a world of difference for emulation as it is MUCH faster and simply looks nicer. I'm surprised at how far emulation has come. Most GBA games, for instance, run perfectly on the PSP. Playing Super Mario Bros. 3 on the PSP (GBA version) is pretty awesome. What's more impressive is that it handles emulation better than any of the PC emulators I've used (for GBA). With VisualBoyAdvance and any number of other Gameboy or GBA emulators I ALWAYS get sound crackling issues in various intervals and could NEVER solve it on any hardware. It was very strange and quite annoying. The Gameboy player for Gamecube even has issues with framerate (a slight skipping as you play). The PSP, though? Nothing of the sort. Perfect scrolling, perfect sound.

A few games do struggle a bit (Yoshi's Island doesn't run perfectly, though it is still completely playable), but in general, it's very impressive and makes for a better alternative than using real Nintendo hardware (again, better screen and better d-pad).

Genesis emulation is also perfect now. Playing Contra Hard Corps on the go is awesome.

Anyone know of any good SNES emulators? The GBA and Genesis emus are much newer while most of the SNES emus are from 2005 and suck. Nobody has updated them, as far as I can tell. If the PSP can emulate GBA, CPS2, NeoGeo, and Sega Genesis at full speed I don't see why it couldn't do the SNES as well.

I forget the name of it, but that popular SNES emu is the only one I know of and yes, it does kinda suck (mostly b/c Tetris Attack and Yoshi's Island don't play well at all.) I think it had some unofficial fan updates, but for whatever reason, SNES emulation is not progressing on the PSP.

I asked someone why more powerful systems run fine and not SNES...they said it's because SNES is harder to emulate/the devs didn't put a lot of time into optimization. Makes sense. doesn't matter how strong a machine is if something isn't optimized.

Mass Effect on the Pee-Sea. I beat it back when it first came out on the Xbox360, but, since I'm getting Mass Effect 2 on the Pee-Sea, I'd like to get it finished up so I can transfer my character. Plus, it's a fun game that I don't mind playing through again.

What sucks is that the Bad Loser Wall Of Shame hasn't been updated for months. Tekken is ripe with rage quitters and hate-mailers, with the added bonus of many tardos using mics for your listening pleasure.
It's because Tekken's not a real fighting game.

Which makes it perfect for all sorts of dumb shit you can do to cause people to go insane!

Makes sense.

Really, the SNES hardware seems kind of messy to begin with. My friend and I have been doing a lot of retro gaming lately (on real hardware) and are constantly stunned at just how SLOW many SNES games are. Contra III, for instance, runs like absolute shit (especially in 2 player). I loved this game when I was young, but it constantly struggles to hold the framerate. There are entire segments that run in slow motion. Hard Corps on the Genny, however, is butter smooth even with the largest explosions, however. The fact that Genesis also runs at a higher resolution makes it seem much more powerful than I realized. Blast Processing may have been a marketing meme, but it kind of applies (the SNES CPU is slooowwww)

that's when the dungeons start to re-color enemies and bosses because they ran out of budget. And when Yuri never shows up, so don't expect him to. And when the encounter rate gets high and you are getting in battles ever 10 seconds.

It was BORE BATTLEFIELD in Modern Warfare 2 tonight!

That was a lot of fun. Sho Nuff and I were always at the bottom...I loved the games where he picked the riot shield type and everyone was following behind him. So much cooler than anything MGS ever did.

Then I played some Tekken 6 on PS3 before calling it a night. There seems to be several characters that can REALLY take advantage of lag. Namely, Kazuya (spam the "Tekken hurricane kick"), Lee, Baek, and WHORE-RANG (spam kicks), and of course, Chreddy. I was up against the latter in a pretty bad lag-filled match. The guy does the same old Eddy spam-crap, and it was difficult to counter. I did beat him a round or two, but it really didn't matter. Chalk it up to lag...it was hard enough just getting moves out.

Only this guy decided to send me a message afterward. Now, it seems like 98% of the people playing realize the game has all sorts of online issues, but not this guy. He says "Nice Try. Good job...NOT!"

...

That was the lamest piece of hate mail I have ever received.

Then I got another laggy match (this one was even worse) against a Lee player. It was so bad that I just put the controller down and went back to the computer. However, I noticed that for like 30 seconds in the next round, my character was auto-blocking all his crap. Amused, I waited until he knocked me down. He does a little taunt-dance when he sees I don't get back up. I wait a little bit, then do my best to use counter-spam and beat him one round...then two...and finish it all off in the third. It was only satisfying because I stopped his little happy dance mid-jig. I wish I could have seen that smile turn upside down.

Despite all the lag (and the it is DEFINITELY worse on PS3, no question), I'm still enjoying myself. Getting better at countering, thanks to idiots just trying to do the same thing over and over again, and also getting better at being less predictable myself. It's fun to fight counter-happy characters like Asuka, too, and watch them fuck up trying to counter and then punishing them for it.

As for spammers/tardos, if anyone wants to know how to deal with them, I find with Anna, just doing df+1 works really well, as does d+4, 1. The latter is a low kick followed by a high slap...if the lag's not too bad, you can get a little rhythm going and keep doing it for an easy perfect. With Cheddy, uf+3 and uf+4 work well. The most fun is still with Alisa, though. Moe Moe Robo Gal was made to stop bad players dead in their tracks.

Ass Creed PSP leaked. So did Little Big Planet PSP, but I don't think I'm going to bother trying that out; never cared for the console version.

Assassin's Creed on PSP is pretty technically sound. They did a good job emulating the console versions. The game takes place immediately after the original, with Altair pursuing the remaining Templars to the island of Cyprus. I can't say that holding the R button and X to watch Altair run and jump over everything automatically is particularly engaging, which is how I felt about the console version, but I'll give this game further play time in the hopes that it being portable and scaled-down means that the missions will be more focused. The control and graphics are definitely very good.

I tried both out, too. LBP PSP is pretty much LBP on PSP, like, almost exactly. Unlike Motorstorm, I don't think I really need that, though I might consider getting it in the future for the new single player stuff. Also, it doesn't look as good as I thought; the customization is unnoticeable because it's so jaggy. Assassin's Creed is actually really impressive, and if it wasn't officially coming out the same day as AC2, I'd buy it. It's basically AC1 streamlined. Controls are surprisingly good and it looks great (for the PSP). It is funny to be walking in the same locations and seeing one or three people in the street compared to dozens, though.

well, i ended up playing through the first EIGHTEEN chapters of Uncharted 2, straight through 'til 4am. Haven't done a serious bout of red-eye gaming like that in a while. The only thing that stopped me was that it said I'm only 60% complete.

now it's 7.30 am and wife and daughter are awake and wanting breakfast and I'm regretting it, just a little.

That sounds awesome. I'm totally buying this for a new SP campaign experience. Loved the single player in the PS3 one. Also the thought of playing user levels while traveling is really cool as those short 5 min moments would be the best time to try out various levels.

Working Brütal Legend again; I'm still on the same mission, but finding some hope after getting a pretty good run on it last night, until I called my army to my position (Battle Cry) and the bulk of them did their pathfinding directly in front of the enemy stage. $:-\$

It turns out my main problem earlier was squad composition and not staying on the upgrades. Tim Schafer lies when he says it's not an RTS. Sure, there are brawler elements, but it's an RTS in spades.

Kagutsuchi was a total wimp of a fake "last boss" though. I probably could have beat him at Level 70. I could have defeated Lucifer way below Level 99 if the game would just let you get Pierce earlier.

He's no wimp when you aren't level 99!

SMT3 was my first megaten game and I was probably in the 60s/70s when I fought the boss. Was an amazing, tense fight. I remember when I got the monkey riding the cloud who blocked physical and could hit everyone with his staff I was like OMGOMGOMG and I used him for the rest of the game, including the final boss. He helped me win that fight

I love the music for the final boss fight.

The achievements for GTA episodes are mostly pretty easy, just the percentage ones in Gay Tony take a bit of work. You have to replay missions several times to meet time limits, accuracy targets etc. some are quite tricky. Lost and Damned is a piss easy 250G though

i played a little bit of MoH: Airborne (PC). Really surprised by this. The first mission is a lot of fun. There are some annoying control issues, like I hate having to hold right click to be in iron sights. Graphically it's dated but still good looking. Especially like the lighting. Will continue playing through.

Why do I even bother playing ranked matches in Halo? It seems all I ever get are griefers and people trying to descend the ranking ladder by quitting out. That's not to say those idiots aren't present in social playlists, because they certainly are, but it's every single game on the ranked side.

They're everywhere. I was playing last night with a friend at my house (split-screen, so no ranked) and with Originalz online. One of the social games we did was Braaains! on a custom map called something like "Infected Manor." Basically there was a large house in the middle of the map, and the safest spot was the roof; there's only two ways to get there, by climbing up through the house (and it's easy as hell to kill any infected players that come up this way) and by jumping from a platform that's right in front of the same opening. So it comes down to me and this other guy as the last uninfected. We're both on the roof. This guy then decides he wants all the points, and teamkills me.

After the match, we track him down and join his game. It's run by his friend, who's doing all custom gametypes. We "grief" them by constantly switching to their team color, and delaying the stage countdown countless times. In-game, I do my best to target the team-killer. They beat us, but the TK guy has the worst score every time. Then on the third game (after we continue to do the stupid team switching and delay stuff for like 10 minutes; we couldn't fucking believe no one quit out from us doing this), two of the other players quit out mid-match and went to ranked after that, so we couldn't follow them.

Still had a lot of fun playing, but there were a lot less players online than there were before MW2 came out, and a lot of idiots. People don't seem to know how to play any game type except for deathmatch. Despite this, I still like Halo 3 MP the best out of all the online FPS games.

Oh Kafka

(Ive played like 45 hours since the game came out. That's WoW levels of playtime)

I'm at like 22 or something, but yeah, I feel like an addict.

Booted up Mirror's Edge to do some time trials and speed runs.

Getting two stars on the time trials seems easier than I remember, but getting three is still a total bastard. I think I only have to get two stars on the all remaining trials for achievements though.

Got my 30th bag, sadly had to resort to a guide to find the prick of a thing after being through the level heaps of times.

Playing Borderlands, just killed some clown called three-finger. Pretty drab so far, maybe it's fun in co-op.
