I understand now, thanks. But, isnt there a device that lets you play GC/PS2 or whatever on your PC Monitor. What I was thinking, since my desk is pretty big, I was gonna move my GC and PS2 onto my desk, and just use that device...and then simply unplug my ethernet wire whenever I need it. Much less expensive than buying a router and extra wires.

You would need a VGA adapter, and something to get sound.

For VGA adapter and GC, you need to like split the wires from a RGB cable, and do something with it. Tis weird.

Nevermind then, I'll just do it the easier way by putting a TV near my PC. (I dont feel like buyin a longer ethernet wire)...

You must not have a good setup. I did that with PSO, and it sucks. I played the game on a 13" TV.

No way in hell I'll do that again. I'll leave behind a HDTV and surround sound for a cheesy TV.

Crono · 08-04-2002, 11:35 PM

Well I have a spare 19" (I think its 19, or 18, whatever) and I'll be sitting directly in front of it so it shouldn't be that bad...

Exactly. I could use my television in the basement, which is a pretty good size (about 25"), but it is really old and has green lines always moving on it. I wouldn't want to see those when I am kicking some ass online.

Why does Nintendo do this? A year of crap and semi decent games. And then they shoot out million sellers one right after the other. Tis not fair me tells ya. Tis not fair!

I tried to cut it down to the absolute minimium. There are more games that I want to get, but these are the essentials.

all prices include 8.75 city of chicago/state of IL/ Cook County tax.

GCN
Super Mario Sunshine 49.36 (already paid 5$ in june)
Super Monkey Ball 2 54.36
Metroid Prime 54.36

Xbox
Panzer Dragoon Orta 54.36
Splinter Cell 54.36
Mech Assault 54.36
Sega GT 2002 54.36

GBA
Metroid Fusion 32.61(29.99 for first party title)
Castlevania HoD 38.05 (34.99 for thrid party title

384.57$

Could be worse

I have about 110 saved

274.57

and If I can get 200 of that in b day/ christmas gifts I can get it down to

74.57 so I'm not that far away

but, then there are a bunch of other games to get.
