The Arcade game No Limit Texas Hold Em was pretty fun. Kinda expensive for what it is, though.

I've been spending a lot of time playing Godzilla: Save the Earth. Fun game. Between that, it's Portal and Midnight Club LA. Speaking of that how is Midnight Club LA? Im thinking of renting it. Very cool, but very challenging. I get easily frustrated. |

I finally got around to playing Vigilante 8 Arcade (I spent most of yesterday playing Fallout 3), and I'm happy to tell you that it's much better than I had ever expected. It's just as fun (maybe even more fun) to play than the original game back in the day and now there's no sign of the old technical problems that plagued the first two V8 titles (basically meaning that the game now runs like a song, with no frame rate issues whatsoever... you know, if you play the old V8 games now your eyes will start bleeding within 30 seconds due to the horrible frame rate).
Even all the old special move combos still work! My favorite, as always, is the Buckshot (have the cannon equipped and press Down-Down-Up-A... or was it Down-Up-Up? Well, anyway) which just kills things DEAD. I think they actually powered up that particular move to the point of making it overpowered, since here you can kill an opponent with two successful Buckshot hits. I remember it taking much more in the old games, but I'm not really complaining because the weapons in those always felt they needed a bit more "oomph".
And you know what's the absolute best thing about V8 Arcade's quest mode? NO F***ING BRIEFCASES OR BOMBS TO COLLECT! Thank you so much, Isopod Labs! (now, to be honest, the quest mode is somewhat lackluster as there are only three levels per character, no cutscenes or real mission objectives and you just kill everything that moves, no matter whether it's a Vigilante car or a Coyote one... but at least you don't need to collect useless crap)

They posted how to do them on the V8 Arcade site: ROCKETS: Roadrunner: UP, DOWN, DOWN + Machine Gun Fire Stampede: UP, DOWN, UP + Machine Gun Fire Longhorn: UP, DOWN, RIGHT+ Machine Gun Fire MISSILES: Afterburner: UP, UP, UP + Machine Gun Fire Halo Decoy: UP, UP, DOWN + Machine Gun Fire PATRIOT: UP, UP, RIGHT + Machine Gun Fire CANNON: Cow Puncher: DOWN, UP, DOWN + Machine Gun Fire Buckshot: DOWN, UP, UP + Machine Gun Fire Ricochet: DOWN, UP, RIGHT + Machine Gun Fire MORTAR: Turtle Turnover: DOWN, DOWN, DOWN + Machine Gun Fire Tire Buster: DOWN, DOWN, RIGHT + Machine Gun Fire Fire Starter: DOWN, DOWN, UP + Machine Gun Fire MINES: Bear Hug Mine: LEFT, RIGHT, DOWN + Machine Gun Fire Hover Mine: LEFT, RIGHT, RIGHT + Machine Gun Fire Cactus Patch: LEFT, RIGHT, UP + Machine Gun Fire Sheila, Houston and LoKi are the characters in the first DLC. I hope they do another one because I really want Slick Clyde. |

Gamertag is Jay Funk4578 In the Game Obviation, what's the quickest way to get a house? Do you mean Oblivion? In the town of Anvil, there's a haunted house. If you take the quest an rid the house of its eviliness, you get the house. For other towns you basically goto the castle and talk to the Lord or Counts of them. But it will be over like 10000 gold to around 25000. A few towns don't work exactly like that though. Dang it!!!! I do. I knew I was spelling it wrong but I figured I would fix it with the spell checker. I guess I should also pay attention also. |

It finally happened to me. I finally had a system break down on me.  From the Atari 2600 until now I never had a system break. And now I got the Red Rings of Death! I feel like a normal person now. ;D Oh well, no biggie, crap happens. I'll send it in. |

One question, when you get the dreaded 3 red lights, is it possible to eject whatever disk was previously in the system?

Yes Void you can.
Infact what happened with me was Fallout 3 had been working fine all night long. Then one area took FOREVER to load. Then the next area froze while loading. I turned it off. I told my brother he can play and I went to use the bathroom. I came back and he was like "Uhhh... J...." and I saw the lights blinking and thought "SHIT!"
Then I ejected the disc and turned off the system. I unhooked the power cord and hard drive. I then hooked each one back up. I turned it back and it worked and my brother went ahead and played. He got through while I was on the computer so he turned everything off. A couple hours later I went back to play and the RROD came back. I tried again to get it to work, but alas it was done this time.
I took Fallout 3 out and have it in it's case now.

I was watching a commercial for tom Clancy's End War, and it's apparently gonna be all voice command. It even has it billed as the first game to use only voice commands(Though, I think Lifeline on PS2 beat them to it). I;m cautious of it, since those usually come with the problem of the game messing up your commands.
