Months later after he finally forgot about. I never I got to play online with it because my family wouldn't let me get xbox live before middle school. Thankfully I was able to get it when Black Ops came out and if that's not the best all around Call of Duty I don't know what is. Best campaign, best zombies, and better multiplayer then MW2 because of actually having patches.
Yeah I forget exactly what it was called though. Came out around 2003 if I remember right
I didn't get Xbox Live until 2011. I needed this little dongle.
The NV1 was Nvidia's first graphics accelerator and it used quads instead of triangles just like the Saturn. That's why they chose it for PC. Quadrangles(exactly what it sounds like) was a real headache for developer of multi platform games (edit: this was a bit undecided at the time and Nvidia bet on the wrong horse. Before hardware acceleration you could use whatever the fuck you wanted as long as you could write a renderer for it, that's how software rendering works, hardware on the other hand expects a certain input format). SEGA was into quads though, going back to the first Virtua Racing and Virtua Fighter.
I remember seeing somebody on the bus playing on an OG GBA with a controller grip. I thought it was so cool.
In terms of online? I'd say MW2. An easy to understand progression system, populated lobbies, no pay to win nonsense, better balance. Yes, I said it. MW2 was more balanced than GTA Online.
I didn't make a lot of trouble, so I mostly got your standard, "You're playing videogames too long" spiel once in a while. Well there was that time I had to be essentially thrown out the house to play outside, but to be fair I was only that stubborn because it was my first time getting to Death Egg Zone in Sonic 2 and I did not want to lose that progress. That and a stern look from my mom for renting either GTA 3 or Vice City once.
I wrote the long ass complicated password to Faxanadu wrong a couple of times and my dad got peeved. In my defense ‘ and ’ look pretty similar. Are you writing an essay or something?
Password? I'm not understanding.
Faxanadu, being an NES game, didn't really have save slots. You saved your progress with passwords (called "mantras" in game) and they were typically long, convoluted strings of characters. The catch was that if you could figure out which characters signified what you could basically "edit" your "save game" by tampering with a given mantra until you got results. I did that a couple times once I figured out certain things. A number of games had this kind of system on the NES, since the space on the cartridge was rarely enough to allocate space for saves.
