I never did a LAN I did 4 player local split screen but had a lot of fun playing blood gulch and hang em' high with my older brother and his high school friends.
I did a LAN in high school with Halo CE freshmen year a bunch of people brought xboxes in and we had a 16 player lan with upper classmen during a winter carnival and it was cool and then the teachers banned it after 2 games because 'durr it was a shooting game' and that sucked ass. Other than that though I did local split screen mostly.
Most of the people I hanged with in high school I don't stay in contact with really anymore either we had a falling out over the years or went separate ways and they got their own lives now with a wife and kids.
@mangeurdenuage@kaia I think I stil have my old Asus eee 1015t floating around but it no longer has ram in the machine. It did have 2GB and I ran it with Ubuntu 10.04LTS for awhile and then upgraded it to lubuntu 16.04lts after that the hardware was too weak to continue use for much of anything. I really did like the form factor though it was super portable even if the keyboard was kinda cumbersome.
Personally I hate the idea of them killing off physical media. If you're gonna sell a digital only console so be it but atleast give the end user an add-on like a USB connectable disc drive that can read the games so people can play their old physical copies on modern systems. I mean the xbox one doesn't even read the discs.It just detects the license and downloads a digital copy for 360 and original xbox games.
I haven't bought a physical game in awhile though. Last time I bought physical it was for a relative ( Medievil remake on PS4 ) . Though I don't have a switch and most most modern console is an original Xbox One. If I want to play current gen shit I just play on my gaming pc. Games I buy on xbox one i just stack bing rewards points and cash out and get games that way and that's a compromise for a digital copy I'm willing to settle with.
I do dislike modern gaming with the digital only beacuse in a lot of ways it kinda kills the social aspects of going out in retail and finding other gamers and chatting up and getting hyped for things.
Yeah that's an opened used copy for $200. I got a new in box factory sealed copy which is incredibly rare.I haven't ever really seen any in the wild on ebay but i don't frequently check either.
I mean right now sky is the limit on it's value. We're at a transitional period now where 360 games are starting to go up in price and they will next year as retailers are now starting to kill off selling physical games media.
Hearing rumors and reports that both best buy and wal mart will stop carrying physical xbox games next year. Though that makes sense considering the leaks of microsoft making a digital only series X to retire the current model with a disc drive.
I have muchi muchi pork and pink sweets ( cave the best ) edition but I can't give an opinion as my copy is still factory sealed and I've yet to play it.
I bought it back in 2013 when I was going through a weird phase where I wasn't gaming but buying games thinking someday I"d get back into it. Sadly the game is soo expensive sealed now I don't want to open it. Though i do have an RGH modded xbox and I can just pirate and play it that way without opening the shrinkwrap.
It was common back then beacuse torrents were kinda new to normies, they didn't really get popular until the late 00's. When I was in college torrenting was popular but in the mid 2000's most people just used P2P programs like Limewire and it's clones and those things were plagued with malware / viruses.
I feel nostalgic for those days oddly enough but I don't wish to relive using limewire to get stuff
I figured out installin an OS when I was a teenager because I fucked my computer up using Limewire. I had a prebuilt OEM that didn't have a reformat disc so I had to torrent a Windows XP professional SP2 disc and source the drivers for the hardware to get it all working. It seemed daunting at first but I was glad to have learned it after the fact.
