OLD school!
Upgrayedd \| 11:38 PM on 05.15.2008	5 comments

As in, a decade before I was born old school.

I got these for free from a friend today:

Magnavox Odyssey 400

http://www.gameasylum.us/maod400.html

and a Colorgame Action Games

http://www.videogamenews.com/Home/VGNForums/tabid/53/forumid/11/threadid/14598/scope/posts/Default.aspx

Seriously, I couldn't find a picture of it and I have to clean off some space on my camera first. I'll post one later.

I'll have to find some sort of adapter to hook them up because they use those old copper prong screw down thingies for hook-ups.

ESPgaluda is AWESOME!!!

(Note: not me playing.)

Hells yeah!

I love the game, the soundtrack, the developer (Cave), everything. Who else has even heard of it?

(This may be a drunk post, but I still love this game.)

Super Dodgeball has the best soundtrack EVAR!

Ok, well, maybe not the best, but it's up there. Kazuo Sawa's work on this game is amazing, but it doesn't seem to get as much recognition as some of the other game soundtracks of its time.

This is a pretty good round-up of some of the better tunes in the game, and no, for those of you that never played it, that's not a youtube or emulator problem, that's what the game really looks like (lol NES sprite limit).

I just wish he had included the final, slowed-down, victory version of the main theme you get when you finish it on single-player.

On a side note, it really is the best multi-player game on the NES though. Seriously, check it out if you haven't. It's amazing!

Upgrayedd used Lost Lake, IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE!

lulz

Also, if anyone knows the exact alcoholic content of Lost Lake I'd really appreciate it.

Why the hell not?

I know it was just a April Fools joke, but dammit I want the Xbox 360: Vintage Edition.

If we all clap our hands and really believe, woodgrain will make a comeback!

Not My Turning Point Gaming Rig
Upgrayedd \| 10:16 PM on 04.02.2008	9 comments

Here's my rig:

FX-55
X800 GTO
2 gig DDR 1
1x500 GB HD, 1x250 GB HD

Still runs most stuff, but UT3, Quake Wars, and a few others don't. Also, Bioshock is a no go because the X800 only has SM 2.0.

about me

... for a double dose. (Yes, I stole it from Idiocracy. Go watch it if you haven't.)

Anyway, I'm currently a student at Oklahoma State University (News Editorial Journalism). I'm a Copy Editor for the Daily O'Collegian (the student newspaper). http://www.ocolly.com

I'm also treasurer of the Gamers of OSU.

We're an official student organization dedicated to video games.

Other than sit around and bullshit about games, we (try to) host a LAN party each month. If you're in Oklahoma feel free to check us out. We host weekly meetings at 7:00 p.m. on Monday in Business building room 109 (OSU campus). Or stop by our forums in the link above. Our registration is a bit boned right now, so if your account doesn't automatically activate email me.

Just shoot me a line and I'll fix it. Or if you have any other questions feel free to ask.
