    "Where are the Wiis, Xboxes, PlayStations?"

    That's like expecting regular people to know even the simplest things about cars. Unless it is their hobby or profession they're unlikely to care enough to do the research. When the media starts getting it wrong though...It's their job o do research.

    [GYSB] Games You SHOULDN'T Buy #2 - Crysis

    Because you were butt hurt by a game that didn't run on computers back in 2007 isn't a reason to not buy it today. It was a far far better game than Far Cry 2 which was pretty terrible. I agree other than the graphics here was nothing groundbreaking about Crysis but I did find it to be a solid...

    GCN XenoGC installation

    I have a soldering Iron that switches between 20W & 40W. I had a 15W Iron previously and I often found it wasn't hot enough. 20W is plenty for making new solder connections but I find the 40W useful for de-soldering older connections especially in 1970s gear.

    GCN gamecube chip

    You can pick up the Duo-Q for really cheap (around $15 I think). I bought one used off of someone locally with an ICEDCUBE silver replacement case for $20. It is basically a clone of the XenoGC chip which is also cheap. They don't offer any extra features just booting from DVD backups. Some of...

    GCN Gamecube Games

    Well the only way to do it is either with the Phantasy Star hack, a modchip, or an SD Media Launcher. Every one of those options will also require a broadband adapter for ISO backing up. I don't believe there is any other way.
