I might get first few days of October off since I am supposed to be working in the outpatient clinic for preventive medicine which is closed in the holidays (woot woot). I need to get a joystick to play Devil May Cry 4.

My only problem with "Devil May Cry" is that until now, I still haven't figured out how to do the critical hit thing using the shotgun. I even bought the frickin' guide and I STILL can't do it. Until I can get it right in the 1st game, I ain't trying any other DMC game.

Yikes! For some weird reason my "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed" failed to track my progress! Have to check out the message boards on GameFaqs...

Wow games sure became complicated than before. A game is released then a few months later a patch is released to correct a glitch or optimise the games and if you're into FPS like myself then add new mods to games.

The new megaman games are totally different from the previous point click and shoot previous ones. I can hardly follow the lad with my eyes as I defeat the finall boss/bosses (darn capcom's multiple level bosses). DIE ALREADY

Yeeeeeaaarrgh!!! It seems that "The Force Unleashed" has a glitch!!!

Played it through 5 times now... I think I found a way around the glitch. Well, I got alla them Jedi holocrons now! Heh-heh-heh... the cheap thrill of a simple victory. Man over machine...

I know what you mean, Paladin77... I hope Fable 2 doesn't suffer from problems when it gets released. Sure as hell hate Xbox Live and what-not for PS3... for example, I can get the expansion for "Overlord" for free on Xbox Live, but the crappy thing is, where I am doesn't support the damned connection.

Switched to "Dynasty Warriors 6" now.

Wow Halo 2 is awesome although (still playing it) although from the reviews and all my friends who played the game they say it ends in a killer cliff hanger

The game is soo good that I am seriously pondering getting the XBOX 360, although I hear it has many technical issues (too many that they extended is warranty for like 3 years) both hardware and software issues and everyone is suggesting a PS3 for a console all the way.

Would shed some light and share your insight maybe some advice for your friend here Darech 76?

Basically, check the manufacturing date and ensure that you are not buying any Xbox360 from before 2007. Try to get one that was made as recent as possible to reduce the probability of the infamous "Red Rings of Death".

I bought mine back in late 2006 because of DOA:XBV2, and as I mentioned a few months back, I had to replace it thanks to that "Red Rings of Death". Since then, I've been using the Xbox360 pretty damned often to check if it will crap out on me again, but it's working great so far. My new manufacturing date is actually 05DEC2006, but trust me, if you must buy a new one, get it as recent as possible.

Most importantly... DO NOT MOD IT.

Unless you have a technofreak that can fix Xbox360s for free, modding it will void the warranty. Also, do not buy any Intercoolers, especially if it's NIKO. They may cause a burnout in the Xbox360. Almost all accessories are not Microsoft supported, so be careful. I'd draw the line at protection for the controller.

I'm operating mine in an environment that has 70% dust and 90-100% humidity and no air-conditioner, but so far it's still good... FYI: the Xbox360 sucks air from the base if you're standing it on the side, so elevation might be good (but not necessary). I don't have mine elevated, although it's standing on the side to save space. Beside my Xbox360 is the old Xbox and my 2nd-hand PS2. (Reminds me... I stashed the Super NES along with the Final Fantasy III cartirdge below the table I mount the three consoles on.)

Personally, the only game I'd like to play on PS3 is "Soul Calibur IV" just because of Darth Vader... I just can't bring myself to buy the Xbox360 version because the thought of playing as Yoda doesn't rock my world. Well, at worst I always have nubile DOA girls to play with that the PS3 doesn't have...

Anyway, I'm thinking of buying the Settlers of Catan boardgame.

I won't dare modding or doing any modification on my gear even though I know really neat and skilled tech freaks. But its just me I like to have my stuff "factory new" till the day I toss it or replace it.

I now wish I'd get my 2nd job so I can get the XBOX 360, unless you have an extra one to spare lmao

darech76 · #**4758** (**permalink**) 10 Oct 2008, 22:15

I was thinking of buying the "black version" of the Xbox360 (never liked white anyway)... but since "Red Rings of Death" don't care what colour your Xbox360 is, I decided not to...

What's this about a 2nd job? What'cha planning to do, Paladin77? Cosmetic surgery a la "Nip/Tuck"?

Paladin77 · #**4759** (**permalink**) 13 Oct 2008, 00:42

I need an extra job just to survive my friend. My financial status is plunging down an abyss X_X. Also I need not only to survive but I need to start saving for future plans like studying abroad or continuing my medical education stuff like that.

Next Question please!

darech76 · #**4760** (**permalink**) 15 Oct 2008, 23:24

Um... I take it you're getting out of your family's shadow?

What kind of job are planning to do anyway?

I'm going to quit me job by the end of this year...
looks like it's poorsville for me in the new year 2009...
