So me and my friends have been playing a lot together lately and I'm looking for some game suggestions. However one friend isn't that crazy about FPS games so I'd like some suggestions for co-op computer games that are not shooters. Thanks.

So I manage to dig out my old SNES and I'm trying to get it up and running again. Whenever I try and play a game all I get is a black screen with no audio. I've tried the cords and game cartridges with another SNES I bought off ebay and they work fine with that one. And I did some research online and found a bunch of people saying it was the pin connectors so i got a new 62 pin connector, I opened it up and cleaned the insides, and I swapped the pin connectors but I still get a black screen with no audio. Anyone out there have any idea what it is?

I don’t think that people should be allowed to casually throw around rape, f****t, or n****r as an insult online, but I think banning them might be a bit harsh. From what I’ve heard playing COD it’s mostly teens saying this stuff (although I have heard my fair share of adults voices saying dumb crap too) and you shouldn’t be too harsh on them. I mean to get to adulthood you kind of have to go through that dumb teen phase everyone goes through and they shouldn’t be punished for making a dumb choice(not that they should have free reign until 18, they should just get a bit of understanding that they’re still maturing). So how about this for an idea, the first time you get a strike or written up (or whatever the system for register complaints on voice chat is) you have a one week ban with another week of starting every game automatically muted. The second time you get a month ban and you have to send an apology email to whoever you insulted (I mean you’d send it to the game company and then they read it to make sure you didn’t just write “Dick” over and over again” or attach a virus or something, and then they pass it on). And the third time can be when you start considering a permanent ban or losing the chat function in games. Granted that idea has to come with a big warning labeled “I have never worked as a community modder and have no idea how the system works” but I think it could be a good starting point, something that someone smarter than I could build off of.

Also weather my idea would work or not I do think people should be talking about this. There is some truths that no matter what you do there are going to be trolls online who live to annoy people, but you should try and improve the community of online gaming. And on the reverse side you’ll also never be ride of people who get offended by everything, but that doesn’t mean you should just write off people who don’t want the word rape thrown around indiscriminately as over sensitive thin skinned word police. The quality of communication is part of the online gaming experience and it can definitely be improved, but to do that you have to start with a conversation.

Hopefully. What really sucks is no one plays MUA2 online anymore(at least on the ps3 a months ago when I tried to get a game going) so I either have to play solo or kidnap 3 hobos.

True dat.

@Lulu_Lulu: Don't know. never played guardian of light so I really have no point of reference.

I never played the first one but I loved the second(I'm a big marvel fan). You think that with the popularity of the marvel movies they could justify MUA 3. I'd love to see it, especially if it had my favorite marvel characters in it(punisher, gambit, cyclops,iron man and spider-man, and considering spider-man is marvel poster boy it's pretty much a given he'd be in MUA 3).Maybe with the story doing something with the secret wars story line (The 1984 one, not the one from 2004). What do you think?

Ya, it seemed like at some point they stopped trying to be "gamer TV" and tried to become "spike #2"

So this is the first year that I streamed E3 coverage because G4 wasn't doing any coverage. And the whole thing got me thinking about how much I miss G4 back when it was "gamer TV". Arena, Cheat, Filter, these were the shows I grew up on. My favorite show was x-play. I'd watch it all the time, From it's beginning to the end last year. And now that it's gone I really miss it and the whole G4 network(I know it's still around in the US but it's far from it's glory days). Anyone else watch x-play as a kid?
