Video Game Awards?
November 10th 2003, 22:27 CET by ADoomedMarine SpikeTV are holding their first annual Video Game Award show on December 4th, do you think this will lead into a Award show up to par with something like the Oscars? Gaming definitely is turning into a serious profit market like Movies and Music but do you think we would one day see gaming developers participating award shows based solely on Games. |

Funny, because the sailing is the least offensive part of the game to me. Anytime you're on land, the game sucks. Dood.

Wind Waker consists of one long, boring, unskippable cutscene animation, broken up by perhaps an hour of gameplay. "It was fucking RPGotY, fucker!"

I call dead thread for hardware question. My cable modem has stopped working upstairs. I took the modem downstairs and plugged it into the living room coax and it connects in a second. Upstairs its a no go. Of course it sounds like a wiring problem but my issue is that upstairs I also have digital cable and that works fine. I get all my channels including the 10 HBO's. WTF? I took the coax that was going into the cable box and plugged that into my modem. Tomorrow I'll try the wall jack directly (there is still a splitter in the way) but I am not optimistic since I tried the cable outlet in the spare bedroom and that failed. Any ideas? Cable was working fine until a couple of days ago. To reiterate I notice no issues with the TV. |
|
Splitters are bad ju-ju for cable routers. "It was fucking RPGotY, fucker!"
|
|
No router, the modem itself. Plus this has been working since Feb. Also the other bedroom did not use a splitter. |
|
A cable "modem" isn't a modem. "It was fucking RPGotY, fucker!"
|
|
I know, it's a bridge, and a shitty one at that. |
|
Dude your hardware is broken. The easiest way to get it working again is to fix it. /me high-fives <insert recently deceased celebrity here>

Genius I tell you , genius. |

A 'modem' is anything that modulates and demodulates a signal. By golly, a cablemodem does do this. At the hardware level, at least. From a networking perspective its a frankenstein combination of a nic/bridge/hub/router/SNMPagent. But to joe-compaq, its all good. ...like the color of a tv screen tuned to a dead channel.

I was wrong. "It was fucking RPGotY, fucker!"

Surprising! sunny days have funny ways of quieting the roar

Cheesy My cable modem has stopped working upstairs. I took the modem downstairs and plugged it into the living room coax and it connects in a second. Upstairs its a no go. We have almost exactly the same problem at home. The cable modem is on the attic (where my dad's work/computer room is) and connected to the cable entry in the living room by a 10 meter long coax. Most of the time it works ok but there are these completely random moments where it chooses to not connect. If I take it downstairs and plug it in there with a spare short coax, it always works fine. It might have something to do with the cable end (try making a new end, because any damage or wear can cause signal loss) or it might have something to do with interference due to any electric apparatus the cable comes close to on its way from downstairs to the attic.

Solution: Wireless. Plug your cable modem into the wall directly with a short cord, then plug it into a Wireless router. Or get DSL. It doesn't suck as much. Win. PANZERFAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUST
|

The suckiness of DSL vs cable is pretty much a crapshoot. It totally depends on where you live, who the providers are, where on the grid you happen to fall and even the quality of the wiring in your own house. For some cable is better for others DSL is, the only way to really know is to try them both. I kid cause I care.

#111 jafd I was wrong. Again. Respawn Games

Weird.. sometimes I get Warren Marshall and sometimes I get Warren Marshall It's crazy! with your teeth to your lips and your head to the ground

What #115 said. Cable vs Dsl discussions are of the worst kind. Even console or quake/unreal discussions don't get as retarded as those. *sigh*

#118 E-ph0nk What #115 said. Cable vs Dsl discussions are of the worst kind. Even console or quake/unreal discussions don't get as retarded as those. Indeed. In my personal experience, cable was the one I had major problems with. DSL had no such issues. Your mileage may (and will) vary. Try both, then decide. PANZERFAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUST
|
|
Cable vs. DSL is very much YMMV, agreed. Personally, near me, cable is MUCH better. The ping is about 5-10 ms slower, but the download speed is about 4 times more. Actualy tested download speed. If you believe the DSL company here (Verizon), they download faster than Comcast. I'm the spoon
|
|
In my area, cable is definitely king, in both ease of setup and speed-to-cost ratio. |
|
Idem here.. Cable is better here, but I heard that in the Netherlands the cable company gives horrible service - so that's why it's a stupid discussion. *sigh*
|
|
Just for the hell of it, I'll throw in that cable reigns supreme in North Carolina. Road Runner is love. Respawn Games

Cable is far far superior in London, ADSL runs on PPPoA rather than PPPoE so a router automatically costs you nearly double; that alone is a good enough reason to go with cable. You can only get ADSL through a British Telecom line so you're fucked there too. Troll, troll, troll your post, gently down the page...
|
|
I heard that in the Netherlands the cable company gives horrible service The major cable ISP's are total asscrap, both when it comes to reliability and service. I live in a small town which the big guys choose to skip, so I'm thankfully being serviced by a smaller cable provider which does not suck total humongous ass. Though their data traffic limits are a bit too steep (15gb per 2 months) and they cap the upstream too much. Electroclash=love
|
|
Re: capped upstream Everyone caps the upstream too much. 128 isn't nearly enough for me to run my warez FTP while running 17 torrents and playing a game at the same time. PANZERFAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUST
|
|
Who are you trying to be, the new YF anti-warez poster, ye who has "every mame in existence"? |
|
Yep, every mame in existence...from version .01a. I'm fairly sure that the company that made SUPER SMASHY SCHOOLGIRL SAFARI PACHINKO MAHJONG isn't losing any cash from me having the ROM. PANZERFAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUST

Hey Jibble, what kind of bed do you have? with your teeth to your lips and your head to the ground
hear the fish and they're makin' this sound sayin' "we just wanna go walkin' around, feel what it's like to fall down" |
|
The kind that's made of money. PANZERFAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUST
|
|
Really though, it's a king size pillow top...why do you ask? PANZERFAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUST
|
|
Just wondering HOW YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT. with your teeth to your lips and your head to the ground
hear the fish and they're makin' this sound sayin' "we just wanna go walkin' around, feel what it's like to fall down" |
|
Very comfortably on the backs of young Cambodian boys. PANZERFAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUST
|
|
At least they get to rest their hands and knees on the pillow-top...it's all soft and stuff... PANZERFAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUST

It's only gay if I sleep face down. PANZERFAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUST
|
|
Ahh, I figured out jibbles role here. It's to be the Most Annoying Poster. Got it. |
|
How could I ever aspire to the hights of jafdism? PANZERFAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUST
|
|
By killing yourself. "YES!! You see people, THAT'S why he's the Vice-President of A/V Services here at Respawn Games. Yotsuya ALWAYS unleashes the fucking fury!" - Warren Marshall
|
|
Wait, wait; are you talking about the most annoying poster, or the one who makes the most annoying posts, or what? "It was fucking RPGotY, fucker!"
|
|
Killing myself would certainly be preferable than trying to emulate such inanity. PANZERFAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUST
|
|
Wait, wait; are you talking about the most annoying poster, or the one who makes the most annoying posts, or what? In his case both will do. |
|
#142 CheesyPoof Wait, wait; are you talking about the most annoying poster, or the one who makes the most annoying posts, or what? In his case both will do. While you're busy labeling people, I'll just note that you sparked the last 15 posts all by your lonesome. Don't complain that you're burning to death when you light a cigarette at a gas station. Moving on... PANZERFAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUST
|
|
Please, think then post. And remember kids, you don't have to hit that button for every random thought that enters your head. |
|
Ooh, something's gotten under the 'Poofster's skin today. "YES!! You see people, THAT'S why he's the Vice-President of A/V Services here at Respawn Games. Yotsuya ALWAYS unleashes the fucking fury!" - Warren Marshall
|

Sounds like he got mugged by a mirror. "It was fucking RPGotY, fucker!"
|
|
I'm using DSL because no-one in my house is sure who's actually paying for cable... Also, Shaw supposedly is a bitch with upload caps. I know people that have recieved phone calls from Shaw telling them to shut down Kazaa/emule/whatever. it's my onion and you can't change it!

I use cable because here in San Diego the local DSL (PacBell/SBC anyway), which I used to use, has a horrible upload cap. So horrible that someone browsing cookie-laden websites can actually make everything laggy (making online games nearly unplayable) for a second network user if active at the same time. Switching to cable made everything much happier. When I was living up in the SF area, things were quite the reverse, as cable was heavily capped and DSL worked great. So everyone who says YMMV is right. Comment Signature

#144 CheesyPoof Please, think then post. And remember kids, you don't have to hit that button for every random thought that enters your head. ARRRUMM NUM NUM NUM My god man, this irony is DELICIOUS. Keep it up, we've got hungry people in foreign countries to feed. PANZERFAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUST

Cheeseball144: And remember kids, you don't have to hit that button for every random thought that enters your head. That hurts, dude. with your teeth to your lips and your head to the ground
