I have a MVS 2 slot that I think I have narrowed the problem down to the slot, but I just want to make sure I am not jumping the gun. Across two different cars the sound only has issues in slot 1, not slot two. I also tested out the headphone jack vs. the speakers and the problem persisted in...

Hello Everybody; Finally decided to clear out a bunch of my arcade gear, and I thought I would try the board prior to ebay. Please feel free to send reasonable offers; I am not expecting top dollar for every item, but I am not in a big hurry and looking to be lowballed either. Please send my...

Penny Arcade Expo 2009? Who else is gonna be there? With 75,000 other gaming nerds in attendance, I am guessing I am not the only one here going. However, judging by the lack of response to the thread I created regarding PAX 2008, it is easily possible :) It might be nice to get some plays...

The universe is a strange place. Against all odds and logic, I found Crank 2 to be entertaining and worthy of my 13(!) Canadian dollars. It reuses an uncomfortable amount of plot elements from the first movie (it would probably be shorter to list the new elements of the plot). However, for...

The best way I can summarize the video on the linked page is: I have absolutely no idea what is going on. At the very least, I expected to figure out what the parrot was doing in the lower left hand corner, but even that is a mystery to me. Watch at your own peril, or at least bemusement...

I just downloaded this demo and it seemed to scratch my shooter itch (perhaps simply due to the insane enemy swarms). Anybody buy this game? I'm just wondering if you can eventually start at any of the adventure stages, or if you keep having to grind through the early stages over and over and...

I checked the Neo Gatherings forum, and saw no meeting announced for PAX. Its in 11 days, and I can't believe I'm the only forum member going. I'm a board game playing / mordern video game playing / classic video game playing / card game playing nerd, so PAX is basically the best convention I...

I am sure I am not the first person to post about this, but I am the first person to post about it today... When are people going to stop referring to the 360, Wii and PS3 as "Next Gen". Um, I've had my 360 for 2.5 years. Its been "current gen" for me for that time. If the 360 has the same 4...

I know a more surprising thread title would be that my well played 360 was still working, but hey. I was looking for the last "cursed" thread where people posted (including me) that their 360's were still working, and their 360's started dying, but could not find it. I figure my 360 didn't owe...

I have been apart from my video gaming systems for 6 months (due to a long, complicated move). I haven't been moping around pining for my 360 and HDTV, and I only mention this so the list below makes a bit more sense. I'm sure others on this board are feeling my pain, so let's hear it. As...

I thought I'd start the inevitable Halo 3 Reviews thread: Gamespot's review is up, and they basically bowed down before it. This is the link to the video review. The first review I read was at The Globe and Mail "Canada's National Newspaper", and it wasn't as positive. May as well get the...

I'm a Canadian, and have watched with some disbelief as the US government has flushed its currency down the toilet. I'm wondering what the media have been reporting to the "average" American regarding the devaluation of their currency? Has it even made the news? Basically the Canadian dollar...

This is just sad, sad, sad. Good thing common sense intervened before you guys decided to liberate us :) . from: theglobeandmail WASHINGTON — An odd-looking Canadian coin with a bright red flower was the culprit behind the U.S. Defence Department's false espionage warning earlier this year...
