EDIT: Although something that bugs me about all those Guitar Hero World Tour commercials (Besides the sucky music), The fact in all the versions, none of them actually are trying to actually play the damn game! and the rare time they are, there are notes going on screen after they stop and it shows the notes being hit. What bugs me about those commercials is that the "players" are playing "Old Time Rock & Roll". I love Bob Seger as much as the next guy (I got World Tour specifically so I could play "Hollywood Nights") but "Old Time" is not anywhere in the game. False advertising.

Yup, its nothing compared to that either. But then again he has old games and those are bigger than games now.

He has the most active consoles out of anyone I've seen bar collectors, who don't even use them anyway. I guess he does get paid for it, though.

CRAP! Guess what I turned on my 360 to find, I'll give you a clue, its 3 quarters of a circle and blinking red.
Although I did finally get around to playing Ikaruga

Funny story about my first encounter with the red ring of death.
I had my 360 for a good 2 years, and never had any problems.
Everyone else was like on their 4th console and I just told them they should take better care of them.
Anyway, one day my xbox was all, beeep beeep red alert!
I got it replaced for free (xbox replacement ran out in like 2 more weeks... LOL!)
I figured out the reaosn though...
Get this... the COOLER in my xbox, you know the thing with the fans? It has metal plug ins to the xbox. Those metal thing actually over-heated and caused my xbox to break.
So because I had that cooler on there, my xbox overheated... LOL
Anyway, anyoen who dislikes the dreamcast is a retard :[
I don't care how sucessful it was, because it has AMAZING games for it.
And you missed out on Sonic games Rider.. because Sonic Adventure was awesome! =] one of the best Sonic Games ever, and an actual 3D one that was rated HIGH.
And one of my all time favorite games. JET GRIND RADIO.
That games music is so intense.

I always told people to take care of their 360's too and they wouldn't get it, and almost a year later after getting it, it has its first problem, I don't know whats wrong with it except for the fact the elite got the RRoD, I heard those are supposed to be more reliable, guess that ain't true.
And I just downloaded NullDC (Dreamcast Emulator) last night just because I missed out on the DreamCast the first time. I admit I missed out on a good console that struggled to fight the PS2 and died prematurely (Is it true that only recently the Dreamcast died in Japan? Like 2006 or 2007) And I'll give htat one a shot, its not that I dislike Sonic, I dislike what its become now, In development and the original trailers for Sonic Unleashed (the new one for those losing track) had potential then they went and killed it with that Day/Night "Werehog" thing, the day Levels looked good in the trailers, but the night time parts are just killing it, I'm sure it could be good but its not Sonic!
Jet Grind Radio? I'm afraid I'm not familiar with it, mind filling me in?

Sounds interesting, I'll look for an ISO (Lets face it, I can't find dreamcast today, not even Gamestop and they have Gameboy games there)

Hey a lot of people got to play a lot of games in emulators so I'd say go for it. Friend of ours has a nasty habit of selling old games and systems only to rebuy them like a year later and repeat the process.. I lost track how many times he bought the same system and/or game over and over.. meanwhile he looks at our library in awe going "you know such and such game is like $200 in ebay?" LOL

Maybe that person should step into the world of Emulators too, its alot cheaper XD
And speaking of Emulators, Heres me getting to the Hammer Dodge (In Sasuke mode) in that GBA Sasuke game, I don't know why it didn't record the sound though
I didn't even mean to use the Sasuke Spray, I just accidently pressed B instead of A XD
EDIT: Heres the Final Stage, made this to test the sound of my recorder but it still shows how the final stage is done

@rider: Do you use the cooler that plugs into the back? If so... that's probably your problem. The coils that connect to two actually overheat and cause the xbox to break, that's how mine broke. I suggest just having a fan blowing on it, my xbox NEVER has problems. Jet Grind Radio was AMAZING. Mostly the soundtrack, because the songs were so... wierd. "Would you quit playin' with that radio George? I'm tryin to, I'm trying to, oh would you would you would you WHAAAAA!" Probably sounds completely retarded just reading the lyrics, but it's so catchy. You skate around and graffiti over the city by inputing commands, like to do the first part you click left, for the second part you click right, and for the last part do a spinning motion. If you mess up you have to go back 1 or something like that, and even if you mess up it still takes a paint can. You also have to collect paint cans to draw the graffiti, so sometimes you even have to collect almost every single one in the level. At first you're just a regular vandalist, and only small time local cops come after you. but by the end you're being attacked by tanks and helicopters, it's so awesome. All except for that one flashback level with Coiin and that one chick, because it was impossible and I was stuck on it for YEARS. And I recommend Sonic Adventure, it's the only 3D sonic game you should bother playing, it's actually good. Number 2 was okay, but 1 was waaaaay better. Dreamcast had a tough break, it was a good system, but even as a kid I converted to the PS2 because I was young and stupid, but I still loved my dreamcast <3 Shenmue was also amazing, and originally planned to have 14 sequels and an MMROPG.

The problem with Shenmue was that you woke up and you had to work.. and do tedius tasks.. and after a while.. people got tired of playing a game to relax and escape the world.. only to do the same dang thing in a game.. that's why it failed ultimately.

The only cooler on my 360 is the built in one. And I got the ISO but since theres no Analog stick it wouldn't let me do the slide the analog stick down command, Maybe I should get one of those USB 360 controllers. OK, I'll give it a shot, Like I said, its what Sonic became I don't like. And I regret nevre getting a Dreamcast, couldn't afford one and it died by the time I could get one

Man how much blood would I give for Sega to make another console, but that seems unlikely now that they seem satisfied with being a software developer. I used to think that Sega and their console (most notably the Dreamcast) were terrible. But now that I had learned about their history in the console business and rivalry with Nintendo I have grown newfound respect for them. And now I regret owning a Dreamcast myself.
PS: Should've gotten the DC version of MVC2 instead of PS2.
