I don't know which one to choose, I have not played any of them. Played the first two Pikmin didn't hate them but I never got around to finishing them. I have not played Wind Waker or NSMBU. I have played NSMB Wii, I never got around to finishing that one either. The logical choice seems like Pikmin or since it is more expensive. Does anyone have a suggestion?

The ear loop on my Xbox bluetooth headset just broke. I doubt MS sells the accessories for the headset so I was wondering if anyone knows of a 3rd party replacement.

Thanks

If you are familliar with C++, then C# isn't bad. I should note that XNA is a framework and not an engine however.

I'm not sure if this is the forum to put this in, but it seems like the right place. I'm trying to plug the composite cable for my N64 into my tv which only has component and HDMI input and I get picture and audio, but the picture is black and white. Can I do anything about that or is that just normal for this type of situation?

TY if this should be moved to the legacy forum then sorry

Do you think buying a 3DS is worthwhile, if I haven't owned a portable since Gameboy Color? I just don't want to regret spending 250 dollars. I don't really care about the 3d. The Zelda remake seems cool, but I still have my N64 copy. I didn't want to start a new thread just for this; don't really want to hijack this one either.

As excited as I am for it, I felt the other two didn't reach their potential. So we'll see...

I don't think you realize how complicated game programming can be; it's especially daunting if you've never programmed before. Based on my experience, (3rd year CS major) you should start with basic to get a grasp on programming and then switch to learning C++ or C#, if you start with C++ you might cause yourself more headache just because C++ while flexible can let you hang yourself quickly if you don't know what you are doing. After that, you can start playing with game development.

Yeah, I had gotten out of pc gaming until Starcraft 2 came along and then Civ 5 just causes last years Imac to cry

Back in the day, the FX-64 was pretty awesome

I haven't turned my gaming pc on in years. I don't remember the exact specs, but the Fall 2009 Imac doesn't run Civ 5 decently. Is it worth going through the trouble of ugrading this pc or buying a new one.
