Keep going Beeurd... I'm entertained. ;)

[GI_Admiral 2]

Now let's wait for Prin to do it :p

[Ender 8]

Oh God... that'll be interesting.

[chozen 1]

Oh god... Are they still on this subject?

Hey, what do you guys think of the new handhelds coming out? PSP or DS?

DS. Cause I'm a Nintendo fanboy. But also because the large unprotected PSP screen is gonna be prone to scratching...it appears...

And cause the MGS for PSP looks like a turn-based strategy game...but with a twist. The twist is...it's gonna destroy the series' reputation but fans will buy it anyway ;)

For those who read Penny Arcade...you might've seen this. Otherwise:

Nintendo has issued the final design for the DS

Let me be the first to say...it looks damn spiffy. While the changes are minor, they appear to all be working in the right direction.

For comparison...the old DS:

Design looks alright...what it's used for is another story...

[Andy 60]

Eww... Prices in Euros, how... disgusting.

Anyways, I think it's certainly better looking than the E3 unit design. lol

I remember thinking it looked like a cheap 80s handheld. lol

[CorSec 5]

Certainly more sleek-GBA-SP-ish.

[GI_Admiral 2]

Yeah...but I bet the first DS games wont use the DS to full capabilities...((I.E. Use the second screen for minimap stuff)) Also wish you could do 2 games at once! :p

eh.. gonna get a battlefield game today.. dunno what to buy tho.

Think i'll get the WW2 anthology.. suprisingly, at ?26, it's cheaper than Battlefield 1942- which amazon.co.uk prices at ?30?! anyway.. Should be good.. eh

might see if I can get it at game.

[Ender 8]

Good choice. The expansion packs for 1942 are awesome. But then, there are the mods... and those are in some respects even better.

[chozen 1]

desert combat mod is suppose to be highly rated..

[CorSec 5]

I'm thinking of getting BF1942 to see what all the fuss is about...

Bonus is there's a local game server...like...in the same town, thats also being hosted by my ISP.

Desert Combat is a great mod. It's made by professionals, so it better be good

Forgotten Hope is also an awesome mod. It adds a ton of stuff that should've been in regular BF. So, it's basically what BF should have been.

Then of course there's the Pirates mod Avast ye scurvy dogs.

yarrrrgh

[Ender 8]

Heheh... yeah, there are tons of cool mods for 1942, and there are a bunch more coming for Vietnam.

[Bushy 0]

I assume you've heard about the WWII Pacific mod that EA is making for Vietnam?

[Ender 8]

Yeah... but I was actually talking about Black Hawk Down and Home Front...

[Bushy 0]

BHD = bad...

I dunno, if there was no DC, it'd probably be good. But DC is just so amazing that all other modern combat mods look like crap compared to it.

[chozen 1]

Damn it..have to wait till the 3rd of July to get the anthology.. bollocks.

[Ender 8]

THE THIRD OF JULY???? Dude, do you mean next year, or are you way behind our calendar out there in the UK?

[chozen 1]

whoops... 3rd of September.. Last time I write out hte dfate instead of using silly number things.. eh

[Andy 60]

don't use the silly number things, because then I have to work out which month it is :p
