Re: what system do you use?


Well it depends what I am playing.

I do most of my gaming on the PC. I have a laptop in the family room (3.4GHZ P4, 2GB Ram, Geforce 6800 go 256MB video card, 60GB harddisk)which is my main gaming rig. I also have an XBOX there to play my XBOX games. Then if I am really lazy, upstairs next to my bedroom I have my old desktop (1.33GHZ Athlon, 1GB Ram, Geforce 3 64MB video card, 100GB harddisk)

I am currently contemplating getting an XBOX 360.

Re: what system do you use?


I used to do most of my video game play on PC, but I have found that a console is easier and more fun as I have a more comfortable chair.

I have an X-box and a PS2. I only bought the X-box for the KotOR games. As I had a PS2 first.

 Get HALO and PGR2 for that XBOX. The two best games on that system in my opinion.

I very rarely use my PC for games, mostly I use my X-Box or Gamecube...Battle Front 2 and Marvel vs Capcom are taking up most of the game playing time at the moment... though Zelda is on the way emoticon emoticon emoticon emoticon

What you need is a decently priced executive high-backed office chair. I'm talking about the kind that has a headrest and is fairly comfortable to sit in. includes the pneumatic hieght adjustment as well as a tilt lock, and adjustable height arm rests... canadian currency set me back roughly $300 but is sure worth it! had it for 6yrs now, still got it , no regrets and have spend hundreds of hours sitting in it gaming and typing mini-novella length posts (as you probably know i'm good for at the holonets) emoticon

Your best bet would be to go to a Office Depot / Office Supplies type store, and actually sit down in the various chairs until you find one comfortable enough. Depending on the brand name, the chairs can have anywheres from 1yr to lifetime parts warrenty - stuff like the arm-rest cushions, etc...

Alternatively, you can try the funiture stores and get one of those reclining lazyboys on swivel base w/ ottoman, though those can get uber comfy soft and plush cushioned leathers but they can cost a pretty penny too, upwards of $1000bux.

Good to see ya here btw!

Re: what system do you use?


Most of my games are for my PS2 and my old PS1. I have a few for my PC and my now-stuck-in-the-closet-but-still-hooked-up iMac. I think I still have my old Sega Game Gear; I bought it with one of my first paychecks from Dagger and of course I had to buy Star Wars for it. emoticon

As for Star Wars related games, I have the following:

Dark Forces (Mac)
Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight (PC)
Star Wars Podracer (Mac)
Star Wars Podracer Revenge (PS2)
Star Wars X-Wing Collector's Edition (Mac)
Star Wars (Game Gear)
Star Wars Starfighter (PS2)
Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi (PS1)

I also had Rebel Assault II for the Mac, but I think I gave it to my cousin after I beat the game.
