Bay 12 Games Forum

Thanks for the responses guys.
The fact that you need to pay for online stuff on the 360 pretty much crosses it off my list, I have no source of extra cash and will probably find myself bankrupt pretty quickly. I've been looking at some games for the PS3 and they all look pretty darn good, even if they do require tons of button mashing. I don't think they sell blu-ray here in Israel yet, so I won't be using the blu-ray player for quite a while. The Wii does seem to have less games, but as far I remember (I'm 14, so I don't remember too far) most of Nintendo's newer consoles didn't have many games either. The N64 had something like 100 memorable ones. The Wii is cheaper, but I think I'll go with the PS3.

Hey folks, I'm thinking of spending some cash, but I don't really know what spend it on. I'm thinking of purchasing a console, something I haven't done before (Except for last year when I bought a DS, and seven years ago, when a friend gave me his PS2). What I'm looking for is a console that's got fun, casual party games, the ones you play with a ton of friends, and not crazy AAABABLRLRLLLLABOHSHITGAMEOVER! hardcore button mashers. From what I understand so far, the Wii has just that.

I'm no expert though, so I ask you fellow Bay12ers and console owners, which console would suit my needs better, the PS3/Xbox (Sticking these together because they're more or less the same game variety wise) or the Wii? And which is a better console in general?

Finally, I got my PS2 in America, and it only supports games purchased from the US (Or that area, or something. I'm not really good with this stuff, I think it has to do with ntsc and pal or something). Does the same thing happen with the newer consoles?

All I'm thinking about is that concert, I think I won't think till I see another, I sat in awe throughout the whole thing.

Lets post some bits of music, to start it off, J.S. Bach's Little Fugue, one of my favorite pieces. Tchaikovsky's March of the Toys, taken from The Nutcracker.

My grandmother goes to most concerts in our area (There's only one place they play over here, unless you drive to one of the larger cities); she says I'm welcome to come with her whenever I want. Most kids usually enjoy fast paced music like rock and whatnot, which is fine, but some show terrible disrespect to all other forms of music. I really do hope this stuff doesn't die with its supporters.

Angellus, it could be Maurice Ravel's Boléro (Incomplete, highest quality I could find).

I eagerly await the end of November, I'm dieing to go to another concert.
 

Did they mention AI? It may be pretty hard getting AI that actually works is such a game, with all time the traveling.
Generaly, this looks pretty good. Hopefully they don't screw something up really bad.

Also, Steam seems to have a crapload of bugs for me for some reason. Like how whenever a game that runs on Steam turns off, an error message will always pop up telling me GameOverlayUI has encountered an error and needs to shut down or sometimes it just randomly crashes for no reason. Etc.

Another reason why I don't like to work with machines or programs. When purchasing a game at the store, the guy selling won't just take my money and crash because of some kind of error. Though, I don't really have a problem with stuff like Amazon.com, this is mainly because I actually get what I ordered. I don't receive some info saying I have the game on my account, I get the actually game, the CD and everything.

Makes me sad I don't have a PS3... It looks like its tons of fun.

I want to Russian. But I'm kinda stuck, where should I start? I don't want to spend money on classes, but I don't have a problem with purchasing books. The main things I'm looking for are vocabulary and grammar lessons, I already know how the alphabet works. So, any tips, or links to websites, books etc. ?
