:D

Picked up a copy two weeks ago when I wanted a racing game, been playing it pretty much non-stop.

Runs quite well on a GF4.

Viper GTS

That game is pretty sweet, We need better graphics and Detail in racing games, My racing will just sits and rots...

BTW, that game ran well on a puny lil MX ;)

I ran the demo on a Voodoo Banshee back in the day, so the GF4 is purely overkill.

I just wish it offered some real resolution settings, 1600x1200x32 is what I WANT to game at, but the resolution options suck.

:disgust:

Believe it or not, I had never played The Sims before last month. I picked it up at Sams and have been fiddling with it more than my other games.

I know, welcome to two years ago.

Be sure to pick up the expansion packs... They add to the game very nicely.

Yeah, I've been eyeballing the Living Large expansion pack. Is there one that you suggest?

Yeah, I liked that one better than House Party... Although, I never tried Vacation.

The Sims: Online is going to be out in Sept... That one could be very interesting.

I did that one. They look like nekkid Barbie and Ken dolls. Woohoo! ;)

Zelda: Link to the Past

As soon as my stupid friends decide to start coming over more, we can move out of preseason on Madden 2003. By the way, is there anyway to stop from having to play the games in order?

You mean like, skip the preseason? Just pick the last week of the pre-season, and then "sim all games, including this week."

If you are talking about rearranging the order of the regular season... I don't believe you can.

Like, lets say that the games go like this

Miami vs Tampa Bay
Dallas vs Chicago
New Orleans vs Arizona

Can we play the New Orleans game first without the computer autoplaying Miami and Dallas? It worked this way in 2002, it's stupid to change it now, IMO.

Np, I'm almost positive you can't. Since the games are set up with times, i.e. 1 pm, 4 pm, 8pm for the night game etc., they won't allow say the 8 pm game to be played before the 1pm without it being simulated.

Ah, oh well.

It'll increase the realism, waiting for the damned game to be on... :)
