LOTRO - free or not

My last addiction regarding games has been The Lord Of The Rings Online: Shadows of Angmar (aka LOTRO), the MMORPG version of the literary classic and encumbered cinematographic trilogy of The Lord Of The Rings. Because who will believe that someone would make one of the most complex and ambitious MMORPG compared to the original source, if that source weren’t polished until shining due to one of the most ambitious sagas in cinema history. But I’ll beter get back to the original direction and I’ll talk about LOTRO. (more…)

Shelvez for warez

Stage one: badly used space.

Stage two: little corner for software(z). The bottom image gives a better view of what I’ve put there for now. I’ll have to dig up my really old software (made before Links) to complete the space. The other wall will be for old books and stuff.

Links from the other side of the world

It’s not the first package I got from overseas this year; I got the Animusic and Animusic 2 DVDs from Chris in mid January (and I’ll have to write about them!) But this package deserves an instant mention. I got it from Bwlag (real name is confidential), a great guy who is helping me in my Links golf sim series collection. Since he spent a significant amount of money in acquiring items for dumping and preservation, I offered to buy some from him so he could recover a bit. However, as you can see in the side picture, he has sent me much more than I expected. (more…)

Mando Transparente PS2 Ardistel Vibration Duo

Después de la decepción del Speed Racer Lite, he adquirido un mando de la misma marca. Mi objetivo era encontrar un mando que se pareciese al DualShock 2, pero más barato. Ardistel lo tiene, se llama Vibration Duo y sólo cuesta 9,90€ en el Eroski. Ficha del producto. (more…)

Ardistel Speedracer Lite

I’ve bought one of those driving wheels for the PS2. The whimsical me wanted one since I started playing racing games. Since I’m not too rich, I bought the cheapest choice I’ve found, the Speedracer Lite by Ardistel for only 24.90 euros. I’ve spent about two hours trying it in Gran Turismo 3. (more…)

Every day they choose one application and one game, and offer a free, complete version for 24 hours. No trials, no demos, no nagware. Full complete versions. (more…)

PS2 woes (first part, I guess)

So finally today I got the adapter, and I’ve plugged the PS2 to this ancient TV. Pretty much I can say it works, however I’ve not had much luck with the games. Over the last months, and since I learned that one of the old PS2 worked, I’ve downloaded several classics, and burned them to DVD. I think I did everything well, yet most of the games don’t work.

Command & Conquer for free

To celebrate the 12th anniversary of the series, EA is releasing the original Command & Conquer for free. Both the GDI and the Nod discs are available as ISO files, which can be burned into CDs, or mounted in virtual units with tools like Daemon Tools, UltraISO or Alcohol. Which IMHO it’s much more practical. There’s also documentation for making the game run under Windows XP. (more…)

The MAME Board Sk3n3 in 2006

Categories: Stuff, Gaming, Untranslated.

A little bird told me that mame.net is going to disappear, and the domain is going to redirect to the one and only official MAME site. To remark this occasion, I’m reposting this little thing I wrote in a private forum about a year ago, about the parties and flamewars happening in mame.net boards (and other MAME-related boards, but mainly in mame.net). It is mainly original and untouched, although I added a couple of words here and there. Only funny for people who have visited those boards.

Who says 2006 says 2007 or any other year. This is currently a never-ending and rarely changing cycle, which has certain steps, some very frequent, and some very rare. (more…)
