Comments for Ramblings (Underdog Chamber) http://www.ozyr.com/ramblings Focused on the Midwest Gaming Classic and my Underdog Chamber exhibit (plus more)! Wed, 21 Jul 2010 23:53:09 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 Comment on June 2010 NPD VG Sales – Nintendo does not dominate this time! by admin http://www.ozyr.com/ramblings/electronic-news/june-2010-npd-vg-sales-figures-nintendo-doesnt-dominate/comment-page-1/#comment-720 admin Wed, 21 Jul 2010 23:53:09 +0000 http://www.ozyr.com/ramblings/?p=703#comment-720 Of course, realized that the strong 360 sales are probably partly due to the new 250 model being out now, which is selling well. However, I've heard that it has the Red Dot of Death instead of the Circle of Death, in which it dies shortly after getting the unit. Overheating problems again from a lot of reports. This was and still is the main reason I will not get a 360 myself. I was hoping the new unit would not do this, but it currently is. Shame. :( Of course, realized that the strong 360 sales are probably partly due to the new 250 model being out now, which is selling well.

I think it may be a feature in the game, as in 'if you pop into the game where someone else is standing - poof, they are fragged'. Remember, in the game, you pop up in certain spots all the time. I think the game won't let two players be in those spots at the same time. Just a thought though. This year was the first year I was going to have the machines up and in the game, which is why the feature/bug may have appeared. I'll hopefully find out in a few hours before the show if I am correct. I'm going to 'move' players as they join, and see if the instant death still occurs.

So two computers will have to be the controlling computers I assume. I assume that kills the "do not touch this computer as it's running the game" idea. Oh well, I kind of like the veteran/newbie LAN idea. Just weird that it went goofy on you like that. I assume you ruled out interference from the ceiling. See you tomorrow. Yer minion, Erica Hrrm.

It takes time (and I have lots to do). As for testing, I was mainly talking about a video cord I bought for the TI that puts out standard video instead of needing the RF box. Works pretty good, but does give off a bit of feedback through the speakers. I can live with it. Will be in contact (for sure)! :) I’ll be a hollering…. eventually… It takes time (and I have lots to do).

Glad to see this post! My name is Owen and I am an avid collector and game programmer for the TI-99/4a. I have hundreds of games and software items, a few of which I have written. My website, "Opry99er.com" is full of useful info on the machine, and I also have links to many other great TI sites as well. There are a couple great emulators available for the TI... My favorite is Classic99. It very accurately emulates the computer, and there are 10 or 15 licensed ROMs included directly in the program. If I can be of any help, please contact me at owenbrand@opry99er.com. Thanks guys, and have tons of TI fun!!! Hi!!! Glad to see this post!
