Edgecrusher

<_< When you click on to a website, your computer pings that website with small packets of data and the website server then sends the data back which basically tells your computer that it can access the site. A ping test measures how long this process takes so basically the lower the number, the better.

Basically how long it takes my computer to send packets to speedtest's server. I'm getting fibre optic as soon as my local exchange is upgraded which might even happen this century... but probably not.

Yeah I already knew about speedtest, just didn't think it was worth posting because it varies greatly from day to day, but meh.

Yeah, it would seem this site is not very reliable.

Forgive me if this has already been posted but... PS3 exclusive content: *Edit* ^Meh^

Must've been during one of my absences, I don't remember you but WB anyway.

Fair enough, although given the chance I think you would change your mind. If you have an unexpected urge to play a war shooter, Battlefield 3 would be my recommendation, MW2 is probably the worst example of a war game going.

Get Battlefield 3 later this year. Trust me...

Definately, I was a little disappointed that the numbers on to let signs in GTAIV didn't work. Also, I think it would be cool if there were more working telephone numbers in the next game in general.

Same. It doesn't really appeal to me anyway, Juiced had a similar option and I didn't like it then, I would much rather just race myself. If there's trophies attached to that mode I will probably play it eventually, but I expect it will bore me to tears.

Because if they removed the possibilty to create your own character and created the character for you, it would probably have a bit of substance to it. Just my opinion. I don't take it seriously, but I don't find it particularly entertaining either. Being a GTA clone is not the reason I don't like Saint's Row, if that were the case I wouldn't have bought the second one in the first place. I didn't like it because, as it's own game, I thought it was crap. Again, my opinion. This just simply isn't true, of course they want to steal away as many GTA fans as they can, it's how they make money. And aside from any fuzzy notions of games developers having this kind of altruistic intention towards gamers, they still work for a publisher and publishers want to make money. Just because they can't compete with GTA, doesn't mean that they don't want to. Money is the bottom line in the games industry as it is in every industry. Rockstar do pay attention to what people post on forums, but are selective about what actually makes it into the game this to me seems a far better formula than adding every feature under the sun while ignoring the other aspects of the game. I didn't find it very fun, yet again this is my personal opinion. If you enjoyed the game, that's brilliant, but I can't help feeling that I got duped. I don't expect anyone to change their opinions to suit mine though, if everyone had the same opinions as me, the world would be a very boring place.

^This. It's like they go through every GTA "want" list on the internet and add every stupid little feature you can think of but forget about characterisation, realism, etcetera.This is one game that IMO would be better off without the create a character feature. The humour is nowhere near as subtle and thoughtout as GTA, and despite the excess of features, it's nowhere near as fun to play. I finished SR2 within a week of it coming out and never picked it up again.

The image itself is unremarkable, but I had no access to internet until a little while before I joined GTA-SanAndreas.com. After playing Vice City, I had no idea that they were creating another GTA game until I happened upon this screenshot, it was magical. I don't think I will ever be as excited about a game as I was about San Andreas.

Been a long time, welcome back.

On a side note, just got SA again with a secondhand PS2 I bought for the sake of watching DVDs in my bedroom.

Works for me.

Well... that's essentially what it is, although I think spam is a bit too strong a word for it. It's not as if it is a thread for advertising websites or whatever, and it could be useful to have a list of peoples usernames for organised games etcetera, but meh. As for general network discussion, I kind of expected people to anyway, but I've edited the title for clarity.

And a fat Jabba.

I know we can put them in our profile, but if you would like people to add you, post your PSN here. Who actually pays attention to people's profile info anyway? Well being that this is a new forum, and I have a new name (for those that don't already know; I was Edgecrusher on the old forum), I thought I would create a new PSN as well. Feel free to add devildude81, I have plenty of room on my friends list now.

I can't really think of just one film which I'd like to see inspiration from, but off the top of my head, here's a few: Football Factory The Firm (original with Gary Oldman, not that shitty new version) The Business Rock 'N' Rolla A History Of Violence The Departed Rise Of The Footsoldier Sexy Beast Kidulthood/Adulthood Lucky Number Slevin Smokin' Aces

I haven't been on for a while, but if there are enough people on here to organise a lobby, I'm game.

Frogger on the same demo disc as GTA lol, and the original MGS has to be one of my favourite games of all time. I remember me and my mate were among the first in the UK to have a NES and we were in 'Club Nintendo' - it was a free magazine that came out about once every 3 months. We'd flick through our magazines and drool over the latest games like Metroid and The Goonies II. Ha, we even had Club Nintendo membership cards and 'personally' signed letters from Mario. My membership card was number 00213 or something, used to have loads of 1st edition magazines too, like EDGE - all in perfect condition...............gave them all away. I was in that club, lol. I used to read Gamesmaster and CVG. I never really read any PlayStation only mags until the PS2 came out.

Ah, should probably start checking the main page. >_<

Anyone else seen this? Seems unlikely to me, but interesting nonetheless.

If you hadn't guessed, mine's Akuma of the Streetfighter series just because I like evil characters. Akuma means devil in Japanese. What's your favourite character and why?
