The Hangout Nazi- NO HANGOUT FOR YOU!

"idiotic" is rather harsh.

Probably, put i don't find them near as interesting as the real game content, and with so many games to play, i don't spend my time with modded content often.

For people who don't pirate games, but also can't afford to buy new games that often, they are wonderful. Maybe not quite as much anymore, with Steam sales and whatnot being what they are, but one of the girls at work plays mods all the time because she's so broke it's really all she can afford, other than freeware, and she doesn't believe in piracy.

They're also great means of "entering" game development, for people who don't actually have the know-how to create full-fledged games from scratch but have ideas that they want to try. Same thing goes for ROM hacking, in my opinion. Yeah, a lot of stuff out there is crap, but that's the same as pretty much everything, including professionally developed game titles. LBP and inFamous 2 are great examples of this -- there are some amazing level creations on there. It usually doesn't measure up to the original content, but it can still be a lot of fun.

People like us, on EP, are not great representations of the average gamer by any means. Most of us have a huge backlog, either because we're "hardcore" gamers, or because we download everything. We are a minority among the gaming population.

This very much

I had better get to sleep before I start soldering again...I just checked the leads on the parallel port I added to my gameboy and they are successful.
Nothing like positive reinforcement to keep a guy up the rest of the night!

You're aware you can just delete the text around the line you wanted to quote specifically instead of bolding/resizing it, right...?

I never understood why people don't do that. Makes it easier to find the selected text, since it's the only stuff there, and saves from having to stare at the whole post again.

Might just be me being anal, though.

Yes i do, but the rest was worthy, just bolded+sized the part that stood out the most while reading it.

you must have missed my description the other day. Check this one out:

The homebrew "electricdrum.gb" accepts the A, B, Up, Down, Left, Right and Start as drum beats and comes preloaded with a few 8bit drum kits and plays them with the press of the buttons. What you saw in the first pic was all of these buttons wired to a parallel port at the bottom of the gameboy. In the second pic, you see that the parallel port connects to a toy drum.

I'll let you do the math.

Since these pics were taken, the gameboy has been backlit and closed up. Once my mail arrives, I will be able to bend the pitch from 1KHz to 33MHz expanding the range of sounds the gameboy can produce. Pics and video will follow.

Aaaahhhhh, okay. I saw that post, but didn't make the connection to what you had shown. Sounds cool.

[Sheik]

I see nothing interesting went on when I lurked

[deadlegion]

but one of the girls at work plays mods all the time because she's so broke it's really all she can afford, other than freeware, and she doesn't believe in piracy.

I rarely come across this irl, but when I do I think it's sad.
Some people have no problem getting parking tickets, speeding and stuff like that........but when it comes to piracy they put it in the "that's really bad" category.
