As for backward compatibility though, I'm with Shin on this. If I ever have the need to bust out an old Xbox game, I tend to use the old Xbox. Same goes for PS1 games and everything else. The consoles are already owned, and it's not like you'd be playing them all that regularily anyway, with the possible exception of games like Halo 2. Hell, I don't think I've popped anything but Halo 2 into the 360 since I got it. It's a neat feature, but I don't honestly see that many people using it.

How ya doing, buddy?

Fish has a legit concern Devo, the servers that ran Steel Battalion: Line of Contact's online campaign mode were shut down last year. Now the only online option for that game is unranked random battle play.

Kinda shitty since the online campaign was rad.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Like all servers, it required active maintenance, but no, new caompaigns and such were not added, it was similar to the online career in PGR3.

The point is that it was the meat of the online disc. Nixing it removes a LARGE portion of that game.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Ahahahaha. Fucking ace, Josh.

We all know Moore just wants us to forget about all the things he's ever done in the past and failed miserably at.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Morrowind was indeed a Platinum Hit. It may even have been a Best Of PH as well, although I can't recall exactly. Maybe someone can fill me in on that.

Moore's retarded anyway though. I like how he did a complete about face.

Hopefully they will continue to improve this though, yeah.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Bad emulation is better than no emulation, if you ask me, Conan.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

At least it shows they are making an effort at it. Perhaps it's not perfect now but maybe it will be improved in the future. Being completely unplayable seems like more of a downer than being moderately gimped.

At least, in the worst posisble case scenario, like the person has a 360 and the game but maybe their original Xbox broke, they can still play it as opposed to it just sitting there like a glorified paper weight.

FELIPE NO
