Running video games (and consoles) thread

I'm up for the Fail Cup any time this week. Embassy said 1 or 2 a.m. today. That's a little past my bedtime, but I can try if everyone else is down.

 

Was very pleased to find out that they're still making NCAA Football 09 for the PS2. Nice option for those of us who just have no interest in dropping a bunch of scratch on a PS3 or XBox 360.

 

Yeah, that's too late for me. I liked the Friday, 11:30 PM EST schedule.

 

At work every Friday, 11:30 p.m. EST.

 

Fat ER on Wii Fit update: I did a body test today, my first in a week. Although my BMI and weight have gone down...I swear I heard the light 'Step on' voice say, 'Oh!' as I stepped on the balance board.

'Oh!' as in, 'Oh my God, they sell Wiis to large zoo animals.'

It was quite deflating.

 

Well, that won't work. ;D

Let me know what works for you & I'll try & drag myself away from GTA IV for my whooping.

 

Then share with me too, so I can join in the misery. Just to make this even worse, should we play every race on Moonview Highway and Rainbow Road?

 

So, I am really pissed at Microsoft right now. I was just playing Oblivion and all of a sudden my XBox starts making a really loud noise. Sounds like it's scratching the fuck out of the disc. I turn it off, take out the disc, it looks fine. But now it won't read the disc -- or any disc. It either calls it unreadable or tries to read it and makes that terrible noise in the process. Anyone have that problem before, or hear of it?

 

Unfortunately, disk read errors are pretty common in the 360.

 

Has anyone played Tiger Woods 07 or 08 for the Wii? I started playing the golf part of Wii Sports and am having a blast with it, and I think I'm ready to move up a notch. I'm wondering if the Wiimote works the same for Tiger as the Wii Sports golf, as far as the motion controls.

 

I've got '07, and love it. It's definitely a nice step up. Motion controls work well and there's more to screw up than in Wii Sports golf.

To be fair, I hadn't played any previous Tiger Woods games, so my standard was probably low for what to expect.

 

So, I've got to mail the damn thing back to them again?
