Hi all, I''ve heard and seen that it may be possible to play certain old games, such as The Ocarina Of Time on the PC, using something called Project 64. If it's possible, I'd be quite eager to do something like this. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice on this, the kind of hardware it requires, and crucially, whether or not it's legal.

Thanks for any replies!

Hi all - there are quite a lot of old PS2 games I'd like to replay, and quite a few PS1 games I'd like to try, but it seems that as the release date recedes furthur and furthur into the distance, the price increases dramatically. How do you guys get around this?

Isn't it a bit beside the point how much like real war it is? I too have wondered this same thing. I imagine it's more important in that it glorifies the whole concept and plants the notion in the player's subconscious of war being something they associate with fun/coolness/whatever.

Out of interest, what is it about PC that makes it best for shooters, like some claim? Games wise, I don't know any other big exlusive shooters other than Crysis (which is several years old now) - is it all about the hardware?

I'm already going bald at the age of 15. It's really sad, actually.

Are you sure? I have a friend who's about your age and he looks like he has a receding hairline (seriously, its very far back) but I've seen a picture of him as a child and the hairline was pretty similar. I've noticed hair on quite a few young people (12ish?) that might be called receding on anyone over 20/30, but I think it might just be the way they are. I think a lot of people naturally have pretty far back hairlines, but nobody notices through childhood (small children very rarely lose their hair :P) and only pick up on it around adolescence, whereupon they mistake it for alopecia. But that's just a theory :P

[QUOTE="MillenialFair99"] Perfect example. :)MAILER_DAEMON

But outlawing them will make it harder for outlaws to get them. And I'm sure that the odd law abiding citizen can turn to criminal activities.

But I think a lot depends on the culture. In the US I imagine everyone accepts firearms (to some degree or another) and gets on with their lives. But I hate to think what would happen if they were legalised in the UK, where I live.

It really wouldn't. Someone can turn to crime simply because they had a bad day, but there are all kinds of weapons that they can do that with. However, there is already a system in place of gun controls, background checks, etc. that prevent criminals from going into a store and buying a gun w/o the store owner getting in trouble. I've even witnessed a Wal-Mart refusing to sell ammo to a friend of mine from several years ago simply because he was dressed like a thug, and the store is within its rights to refuse service to anyone. Yes, there is a fear of guns, but the simple reality is that banning guns wouldn't have a good effect here. You can't trust the police to get to you in time, and criminals would just use the same methods of getting guns that they already do.

Most other weapons eg. hammers/ knives have other uses, whearas a gun is a pure out and out killing machine, and I feel the less of those going around, the better. Apologies for my naivety, but how do criminals get guns these days?

Nope, I think there should be a detailed background check but guns should stay legal with exception of full automatic and military grade. One day I would like to start a gun collection one day.

I'm for detailed background checks too. It's really no harm at all, and very worth it. If someone has a history of violence, denie them guns. That simple.

In Canada you have to do a back ground check to purchase any weapon, and are required to have a gun license. The one bad things is then you have to register your weapon, and if it get stolen out of your home and used in a crime you are held relyable. So for me i'd be against gun registration.

This sounds about as good a system as possible with guns being legalised. Guns are massively dangerous, and that danger is multiplied tenfold in the hands of a criminal/maniac etc. If you're careless enough to let your gun be stolen by someone then proceeds to use it on someone innocent, I think you deserve every repurcussion coming to you.

Against, and they are illegal in my country.. guess what? We are the murder capital of the Caribbean. As the saying goes, if you outlaw guns only the outlaws will have guns.

I'm not sure I understand the constituion argument. It was drawn up 218 years ago - times change. America is over twice the size it was in 1791 and it's not as if there's as much danger from natives or surrounding European powers (ie. Spain and France).

Both Assassin's Creed's, though it was more my third chance on them.

Some of my older posts are me complaining about those games, before I realised how cool they were!
