TwoBitWriter's Tubular Tracts of Thought-Talking Random Banter #111

[Fredthefighter]

Well, over the past week, the album "For those about to rock" by ACDC has been constantly in my stereo for consectuive hours on end.

[Dr. Bath]

How about this, then. Who else listens to music in albums?

Ooh! Ooh! Me! I've never bought any individual songs, either in single (on CD or Vinyl) or digital format. Every song I own comes either from an album, compilation or mix-CD-type-thing.

[Cobra_Ikari]

I used to borrow CD's from my friends and copy them into my XBox so's I could listen to them all the time.

...

...you can put music on an XBox?

...*looks at pile of CD cases contemplatively*...

[randman22222]

How about this, then. Who else listens to music in albums?

Aye .

[Fredthefighter]

Well, For those about to rock, we salute you!

[Lyesmith]

I listen to music in albums, sometimes.
But not usually. Perhaps I ought to.

[Coplantor]

I want to fix my vinyl player, my mother has some great albums from her youth that I would like to listen. Apart from that, I play my CD's on my DVD player because all the radios in my house seem stop reading CD's after a while

My wife likes to hook her I-Pod up to the X-box so she can jam to her music using our surround sound.

[Fredthefighter]

That... is so cool, why can't my PS2 do that. Yes, I still have a PS2 and a Playstation One.

I got my gamecube for 2005's christmas and a PS2 in 2006. So that does'nt surprise me.

[Cristo Meyers]

Had my PS2 'til summer of 2007. Didn't get a DS 'til after that and only got my Wii this past Spring

[Fredthefighter]

PS1 was the first console I ever had, then came the gameboy pocket, then the PS2, then my Gameboy SP, then the DS came years later.

[Cristo Meyers]

Well, the fact that Wii's were as rare as hen's teeth for the longest time didn't help matters any.

'Course, my first console was an Atari...*waves cane*

[Fredthefighter]

Ah Atari, I had a game for the PS1 called "Ataris greatest hits" or something like that, it had some really cool games such as warlords and other various Atari games.

[Coplantor]

Technically, my first console was also an atari, it was my old man's atari, I was three, but I was feared among the space invaders. A year after my first nintendo appeared, that was a life changing moment for I consider mario 3, battle toads and battle city the bastards who made me take my first steps into geekdom.

[Cristo Meyers]

Ah Atari, I had a game for the PS1 called "Ataris greatest hits" or something like that, it had some really cool games such as warlords and other various Atari games.

...and I played most of those on the original console.

Anyone that has ever played Joust with me knows that I am to be feared...

No one can defeat me in Joust!!

Duel time!

[Alleine]

I miss joust....
We went through two nintendo consoles. I can't recall what went wrong with them, but I do remember that the stopped working.

[mangosta71]

That... is so cool, why can't my PS2 do that. Yes, I still have a PS2 and a Playstation One.

The original Playstation is capable of playing CDs, and the PS2 can be used to play DVDs. So you could connect them to your sound system and get that effect.

I never really had a console. A friend gave me his N64 when he got a Gamecube, and the only thing I ever played on it was Super Smash Bros. But I prefer gaming on the PC. My hands cramp around those silly little controllers, and aside from being able to spread my hands out I like having all the bindings that are possible with a keyboard instead of being forced to use awkward combinations to do things. Besides, it's so much easier to find a good RPG or RTS for a PC.

[Cristo Meyers]

No one can defeat me in Joust!!

Duel time!

Bring it, grampa!

...wait...you're younger than me...

...DAMMIT!

Ah to have the days of corny synth voices and blocky graphics. I miss hearing I AM SINISTAR! GRAAAAAHHHHH! Nothing ever sent a chill up my spine quite like that...

[Fredthefighter]

I believe Sinistar was one of the games on that Atari Anthology I had for the PS1.
Pretty cool, I enjoyed those games. I also have Midway's Arcade Treasures for the PS2. I enjoy Smash TV way too much.
I also have fond memories of Gauntlet and Rampage.

[Coplantor]

Anyone here ever played faxanadu? I remember a game called like that from when I was 4. I didnt speaked english back then so I never understood the plot, and considering it was an RPG, I believe it was quite an important part of the game.

[TwoBitWriter]

Bring it, grampa!

RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE!

Edit: @^: Faxanadu rocked!!!

You are too young to really remember the Super Nintendo...

God... the hours I spent on that system. Back when I took the Genesis/Super Nintento debate super serious. I was, of course, firmly pro-nintendo.

And it is weird as hell seeing Sonic games on Nintendo now. When I saw Sonic on Smash Brothers: Brawl, I about died!

[Cristo Meyers]

Faxandu was a side-scrolling Action/RPG hybrid for the Nintendo console way back when. I barely remember anything about it aside from that.

[Fredthefighter]

Yup, but I knew what it was.
(The first thing I ever got that was nintendo was the Gameboy Pocket and Pokemon Blue, I completed the entire thing.)

I associate different relatives with different consoles. I had an uncle who was all about sonic. When I was 8, we spaent hours playing sonic 3, I was always tails and he was always sonic. The first 3D game I played was Virtua Fighter, on a sega saturn he bought me. We were sad that sega saturn's sonic was a 1 player 3D game.

I miss sonic 3 and I miss my uncle

[Dragonrider]

So...am I the only person who buys physical copies of music anymore? >.>

(entering the conversation a little late)

I prefer to buy CDs, and usually that's what I do, but when I only want one song off an album it makes more sense to purchase an MP3. I got them from Amazon. I don't know if they keep a record or not; I should check....

And I think I have most of the music stored on old data CDs. Which is good, because someone stole the CDs out of my car (TWICE, no less) and there's only MP3/WMA copies of them.

@Cutie: I DIDN'T burn the DVD wrong. That's what's so frustrating. Before I did the wipe, I popped it back in and opened the files, just to make sure it was working.

This reminds me of watching my grandfather play Sonic when I was young. That, and the way he sung our last name to the tune of the Sega opening.
