General / Rubber Banding and Rubber Band AI In Racing Games Or Cheating AI In Games

« on: September 17, 2017, 09:36:13 am »

How many have this issue, in racing games? where like when trying to turn your racing vechile and have to put up with losing control of the back side of your car, eventually crashing into a wall then hit by a computer, and do a spin out then lose a race in last place because once the computers are past you and keep going. I read that someone on retro collect mentioned rubber banding and I only just recently came across this frustration. In games like Wave Race 64 and 1080 snowboarding for the N64. and even sometimes in gran turismo

AND does anyone have it where your like playing a sports title and all of a sudden the AI beats the crap out of you by sending all of your players to the opposite side of the game while the computer racks up points? on your defense?

a video about it

I am starting to think that hackers altered all my video games so I lose at them it is possible I mean I've seen my PC game disc curropted while strange people would pull in at my neighbors house

General / What Do You Think Is The Greatest Console Of All Time?

« on: September 12, 2017, 09:02:50 am »

For me It would have to be the PS3 Superslim 250 gig model. It is a vary reliable thing and you can go online with it and every thing else. But the major downside is you cannot play PS2 games on it becuase it has no PS2 hardware. the fats overheat and don't last long in most cases otherwise that would be my vote.

General / Lets Name Some Games That Frustrate US To The Point Of Cheating

« on: September 10, 2017, 05:19:52 am »

I need to get back into the zone with playing some of my retro games because that is what I collect and play for. I often fear a new game because I am afraid of losing after working so hard just to get a game over screen 50 million times over. I hate the way hard and unfair games leave me fatigued and mentally wound up when I don't push the buttons fast enough. I am just not hyper active anymore and most game I have require fast reflexes or precise controller handling

Also some of my games freeze leaving my depressed and paranoid about people hijacking the AI for player movement in which I believe is possible but
 I am going on 29 years old and my love for collecting video games is vary high but actually beating them makes me scared thinking if it is going to run or if I'll run into a glitch mess or something like a racing game where all computers go faster then your  max speed can go and you've got the game on the easy setting.

so I've been sticking to the sims 1 and simcity games currently

General / The Lease Agreements Of Video Game Companies

« on: July 29, 2017, 01:10:25 pm »

Does anyone know that with the new US copyright laws in place that have been in place for a while now, give the video game manufactures of most PC video games, the right to recall and take the video games away from us at any given time. (especially the downloadable only video games)

SO what are soe of your emotions on this FACT above people how does THIS make you feel. or do you even read lease agreements like EA's EALU agreement before installing or downloading a video game from off a server

General / What Would Another Video Game Crash Mean To You?

« on: July 27, 2017, 01:15:30 pm »

  I don't think this would be good with the current market because of the fact that older video physical copies would be in further demand and then only rich people would be able to buy them . People are greedy, and I fear if the video game market crashed then fewer video games would be available to us buyers. Considering the fact that if the video games just stopped completely we would have to wait 25 years or longer in order to legally to obtain then in the United States, because everyone would be saving them in their storage units. retro video games would be impossible to find and newer games might be cheaper, maybe. but I personally think if we have another crash it would be the end of video games completely and only the people who were collectors would have a shot at playing any of the video games.

what we need is not another crash but more retro style games in fact a reset of the video game industry where Nintendo goes back to the NES, Super Nintendo and Nintendo 64 style of games and the SONY goes back to the PlayStation 1 and 2 graphic style. What we really need is for people to put money aside and produce more retro video games. people get old and new kids are being born everyday.

DO we really want only the rich and the inherit collectors to be able to play video games. Sorry but I love them and I'll never be sick of video games.


If you are sick of playing video games than say it, don't spoil the fun for other people who still have yet to beat the billions games out there

Hardware and Tech / Why I think the SONY PS3 Backwards compatibles overheat

« on: July 22, 2017, 10:22:19 am »

I just have a couple theories on why the old SONY PS3's overheat and how I personally think to help keep them cool

1: Most people play PS2 games in HDMI in which I think is a main issue with the melting of some of the circuitry on some of the older models, my suggestion is to play PS2 games in AV mode with AV cables(aka) PS1 PSone and PS2 hookups only to reduce internal heat build up. After all when the PS2 came out their was not an HDMI hook up.

2: You should get a fan for them, they are rare but find able

3: The PS3 backwards compatibles need more heat sink chips in the circuitry in order to keep the machine from over heating on the insides.

4: It might be time to clean your system.

General / Major Flaw in the ColecoVision and Intellivision Flashback 1

« on: July 21, 2017, 01:53:29 pm »

Everything is good in this the At games ColecoVision flashback console expect that the controller breaks easy and you need the wheel in order to play all the games on it. I think I used it a couple times and now both my controllers don't register correctly but I love the games on it. I am however highly unhappy with how fast my colecovision controller wheel twisted off from playing the games on it,   and on the Intellivision Flashback 1 the controller is a no better and extremely hard to operate. One thing I'd say about the CollecoVision flashback 1 is the controller is too cheap and needs to be stronger then that light plastic they used the wheel should be steel and rubber in my opinion to prevent the wheel from cracking

General / Your Favorite Console Hook Up Wires AV vs HDMI or RGB

« on: July 19, 2017, 10:24:16 am »

well in short story I love the AV hook ups on consoles rather then HDMI because image quality does not matter with myself, it's the heat buildup that the HDMI ports produce that makes me wounder why so many people use them, and it is rareity and all the extra cord ramble jamble makes me wounder why RGB is also more popular then AV. I mean you can hook AV to pretty much anything at least the new AV cables you can hook them up to a sterio see tutorial on my facebook page

General / What Kind of Competition Don't You Like In Video Games

« on: July 17, 2017, 06:53:08 am »

I can't see why some of you posted on some of these threads, or I misunderstood what some of you meant by mentioning I don't like to compete/competition in video games.

I guess my main question is. what is it that some of you don't like about competing in video games? (against the computer mainly)? the first thing that went through my mind when I read someones post was, well they enjoy RPGS but cannot stand many other genres of video games. I suppose the Some RPGS are the easiest thing to play, but not all of them are a piece of cake to beat in my opinion.


The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is a game that it is vary hard to stay alive in for me at least. I don't know who posted that they don't like competition in video games, maybe they meant was they do not like sports games? I know a lot of people don't like them. but I do

 this is about either competing against the computer, or your family, or friend, or buddy online and such. genre does not matter in this thread

General / Mistakes Nintendo Made Or What Mistakes You Think They Made

« on: July 16, 2017, 01:55:14 am »

I need to learn more about the history of the video games I play so that is why I am currently watching Toutube.


Here is a video was done by "the video game historian" in fact I highly recommend this YouTube channel to everyone


video title [3 Mistakes Nintendo Made]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iW_MEKWTguA

My debriefing is I wish more people bought the Nintendo 64. I've lost a TON (EDIT MORE THEN I WANT) of music and video games due do disc rot. in fact one mistake I think Nintendo made is not make the cartridges of the N64 hold more data or at least make them bigger with more data crystals inside them all. 

all a vdieo game caridge was was a harddrive to begin with

but of couase CD hold 700 megabytes and that my friends is more than half of 1 gigabyte. Harddirves were a lot bigger then N64 cartridges and heavy back then but you could get 10 gigs although it would cost more then it did to manufacture CD's back then anyway
