Running video games (and consoles) thread

What's your friend code? Folks here would like to know.

 

Oh ... I get it ... if anyone wants to get bitch-slapped in MarioKart on Wii, PM me.

As far as PS3 stuff, I have no idea.

 

Anybody got the newest Metal Gear yet?

And how's the gameplay on the Battlefield series? I saw a trailer for Battlefield: Bad Company that looked interesting.

 

Game Informer mag gave Metal Gear a 10 rating and I've not known them to be wrong on anything when it comes to that. Also, Battlefield: Bad Company got a 9 from them. It really intrigued me as well.

 

The demo is available on XBL for NCAA 09 right now. Game drops July 10.

Anyone going to get it?

Big thing this year is online dynasty leagues, where you recruit against other people in your league.

 

I haven't bought a College Football game in a long time, but I'm planning on getting NCAA 09 for my PS3 when it comes out.

 

I'm thinking about it, I usually get a new sports game for a system. I think I'll go with one for the Wii and one for the PS3, but I don't know which one will be which yet.

 

Is there a Fail Cup for NCAA?

If so...I-L-L...I-N-I.

 

Speaking of the Fail Cup, are we ever gonna put that together for Mario Kart? Or, true to its name, will we just let it go and have it be a big Cup o' Fail?

 

Anyone try to submit an XBox repair request lately. Their site is giving me all sorts of issues. I guess i'll have to call on monday, groan...

 

Gomer, I know you're on vacation so you may not read this, but: DAMN! Some of your ghost times are f-ing ridiculous. I must have run Bowser's Castle 10 times before I beat it by like .1 seconds. I was gonna go in and try to take back a bunch of ghost records, but I spent all my time on that one stupid track.

 

As for the Fail Cup: Is there a bracket, or is it just one big five- or-six-person race?

Also, the Fail Cup champion HAS to be the last-place finisher.
