That model don't look much older than I do...

I may have just found a way to play nes multiplayer online. Brain about to asplode. Must contain squee... must contain...

so, if my tests are successful, anyone care to join me, since I don't have a current gen console?

What games are we talking here? I'd do it...

Leo, if you're thinking what I think you're thinking, I've seen it done before.

If we're both thinking about Nestopia via Kaillera, I didn't know anything about it til yesterday

any multiplayer game would be good for me, like Contra, Battletoads, you name it.

EDIT: I just realized we COULD have some problems regarding time zones.. yeah I'm slow like that

After really getting into Fallout 3 and hearing all the old Fallout fans talk about how horrible FO3 was, I decided to check out the old ones. Tried both one and two out for about 20 min or so each, and really didn't find anything to keep my attention beyond that. Guess whatever it is about FO3 that the old fans don't like, must be the same things that made me enjoy it so much. 

I actually feel kind of excited about New Vegas and despite my difficulty in getting into single player games as of late, I kind of want to get it when it comes out, but at the same time, when I think of all the hours I spent playing the first game I am not so sure I really want to make that kind of commitment to a game again.

You don't have to have Gold to compete via leaderboard.  You're not playing head to head in real time, just comparing highscores for each challenge.

How about sharing blueprints?

 I'm pretty sure you can do this with just Silver as well.

I've seen a ton of Halo related blue-prints, but so far haven't come across any Star Wars ones.

Blueprints?

I don't know what they're talking about either.

Wow, I wish more people would pipe up and admit to not knowing the answer to my question, I am now far more interested in knowing the number of people who have no clue what Xhonzi and Gryphon are talking about than I am in actually having my inquiry addressed.

Erm... Gryphon.  I sent you some blueprints.  I'm curious if you got a message or if you just have to know to go to your blueprint inbox in the garage.

Let me know.  Hope you like them.

Good job, Frink!  Those are related to a video game that was released this millennium!

I too have been looking for this.  Not having found it, I wrote a little Access database that I can give you a copy of (assuming you have MS Access).  Not too fancy, but it does the job.  Of course, it's all manual and you have to get information for anything I don't already have in there.

Xbox added more ESB Avatar items, including miniature wampas and Slave 1 toys that come in the original vintage packaging!

If I wasn't already tempted to buy some Avatar items, I definitely am now.
