The original PS3 had the PS2 chipset, so it played EVERY PS2 game. They took it out to cut costs because people complained about the 500 and 600 dollar price tags.

I only ask because XBox 360's backwards compatibility is half-a$$ed and doesn't work with every game. I didn't know if PS3's was the same way.

What's the plan for this weekend? Actually dedicate some time to a stream for once? Or will DQ9 steal the limelight once again?
Well I'm visiting family Saturday evening, so I'll be out of commission, and I know Waffle is going to a PA tourney on Saturday. So I'm not really sure how this weekend is gonna work. You're back in your dorm now right?

More like I woke up at 3 and couldn't sleep afterwards. I kinda wish I had busted out DQ9 though instead of quickly checking the boards and then fruitlessly staring at the ceiling for 2 hours.

Did u guys happen to get any of the legacy boss maps passed around @ Best Buy or Gamestop? I want them really badly. I've got Baramos Murdaw and Dhoulmagus and I know you can get the DragonLord or w/e from beating the last grotto boss, but...the other maps involve waiting for DLC for monthssss. I really wanna fight those guys...I hear zoma = death even @ level 1. sounds fun.

Well, no.

Due to the tuition skyrocketing and my family having financial troubles this past summer, I'm a commuter for at least this semester. Though, from the looks of the housing situation, I'll be a commuter next semester too.

You see, Stevenson decided to add a football team to their roster of sports. They're a division 3 school, and can't hand out sports scholarships, so they've been handing out leadership scholarships, which they then classify as academic. This has led to a massive influx of people coming into Stevenson this year, some of them not too smart(average gpa of the football team is 1.8 apparently). They're accepting students like wildfire because the school is apparently losing money. They accepted so many students, in fact, that they have to house some of them at the nearby hotel because there isn't room for them on campus to live.

And that's the situation(and why I now hate this school).

Well tbh, assuming I could find a PS3 with backwards compatibility, I would have gotten one near the PS3's launch, but now that I've seen what the PS3 has to offer ... I'd rather just get a PS2. I don't think there's a single exclusive PS3 game I'd actually be interested in. XBox 360 only has like 2 or 3. The Wii at least has half a dozen of its consistently great first-party games and a few more coming, but this gen has just been a gigantic let down in general. Graphics seem to be inversely proportional to the quality of gameplay.

I have my smash and my DQ and some other older RPGs I've been meaning to play, and that's all I need for now. PS2s still haven't come down far enough in price to my liking, and I wouldn't trust a used one for a system that old.
Monster Hunter Tri >>>>>>> FF13

The only other game I've enjoyed on my ps3 this year was MW2 but thats on every system. GoW3 was amazingly short. I am enjoying scott pilgrim vs the world video game....it reminds me so much of river city ransom on so many levels.

But PS3 is coming out with some good games(hopefully) this fall

As far as RPGs are concerned, stick to handhelds.

QFT. I wish they would make more RPGs like DQ9, oldschool and just plain fun. Really looking forward to the next Golden Sun, and DQX which will be on the Wii.

I am going to a CD release party in Clarksville. I'm sure there wouldn't be a problem with you going, but it is a Christian Music CD (fair warning). The people who did it go to Grace Fellowship in Westminster.

You lost credibility when you said you enjoyed MW2. There are other good games done on PS3 that get slept on. Like Demon's souls

Well you did go to a soccer game, so I can bite the bullet just once and go to a football game.

Who knows, might run into Lindsey if it's a Ravens home game and we could chill
I got the chills just thinking about the possibility of running into her...

Psycho hissssss

And I thought you meant play football. Like actual running and throwing and getting dirty and breaking a sweat...

Umm, I think I'll pass...

Not totally sure on the time but I think it is 7-9pm.

Oh good so her psychosis is legendary now. Sweet girl, she really is, but she's been going through an especially rough patch after breaking up with Mikey.

Okay, I was right. I'm not sure if we're talking about the same person again...

I was the one who she first found on MySpace 5 or 6 years ago. Despite hours of talking to her and setting up things to do, she has shown up in person to things for a grand total of 2 hours (spread over 4 seperate meetings).

I knew she was no longer dating someone because she has IM'ed me 3 times this week.

Ravens Squad... cheerleaders? HAHA LIES! I need official Ravens website proof.

ERRRR!!

Though I did see her on the Ravens cheerleader list. I have no idea who that is.

Cass is the last name I was thinking of... crazy psycho girl that used to bug the crap out of me and Brett. Whenever I hear the name Lindsey, I immediately go to that girl.

My mistake and besides, your Lindsey is much hotter.

Nah mangz. The real answer is

DOCTOR WILY'S CASTLE THEME
MEGAMAN 2

So I also found out one of my friends, Lindsey Willis, is now a cheerleader for the Ravens. Go figure.
And going out with Bandit on Friday night...
****z too bad she already has a boyfriend son :laugh:

Try harder next time.
Boyfriend? That's suppose to be a hurdle?

I'm the Bandit. I steal the hearts of millions (and millions).

Pun harder next time.
Thank you Google for bringing back epic posts.

So, now that she's broken up with Mikey...

And going out with Bandit on Friday night...
Oh look, it's Friday!

Aaaaaaand I have a girlfriend... Sorry hot Ravens cheerleader with immensely evil first name

Games get slept on cause they are bad.....mw2 was great for multiplayer and the single player was great but short.

Demon's soul looked rather boring.....I can't remember what else was good on the ps3 this year.....:dizzy:

Dude, Demon's Souls is awesome, idk what you're talking about.

Psychonauts got slept on, and it was great. Gunstar Heroes got slept on, and it was great too.

Games don't get slept on because they're bad, it's because people don't buy them for whatever reason.

I can think of quite a few amazing games that went under the radar. Metals Arms, Cave Story, Little Ninja Brothers, The Warriors, Shadow of the Colossus, TA Spring, Lufia 2, Earthbound, every Dragon Quest, a bunch of other JRPGs that were never officially released here ... the list goes on.

So TH, how's that Chrono Trigger coming along?

The coop missions were really cool.

But yeah, KSes and bad maps kinda ruined the multiplayer. Still fun, but MW was better.

meh, there wasn't really anything good about the co-op. Treyaarch did a better co-op job than IW, a WAY better job. Nazi zombies > MW2s anything

So M@v didn't come to the PA tournament so I couldn't do that dragonquest sidebet, so we altered it. The agreement was if I got top 3 I would get it, and i got 3rd, so looks like i'll be using that money with my gamestop card for DQ9...
