There was one spammer earlier this week, but I deleted him under 2 minutes. before others noticed.



Close, but the action was more like swinging Gigaton hammer resulting spammer splattering in to gory mess.

I've got one that should cover that pretty well

I never knew GameStop would ship stuff from store to store upon request.

You can, I got a couple games, including Phonex Wright by doing that. Some cheep things, under 5$ you might have a bit of trouble, it cost that much to ship, but some will.

Yeah, he looked pretty much that after I was thru with him. ;D, but still lacks the action of me doing it to him.
Thanks anyway.

If you get lucky, hey more power to you, but I wouldn't hold your breath.

I know a guy from another board who hunted Gamestops for years before finally finding some $5 component cables.

Will the Wii output a 480P signal when running GC games?  If so, you can get those cables on the cheap.

yep, but some of us (like me) don't own a Wii.

I own Wii (2 actually).

My problem is that you can't play Mario Cart Double Dash with 8 linked Wiis, you need 8 GameCubes.
And then there is the GB Faceball dilemma...

I have 56.

Yeah, I know it won't satiate the mad-crazy Mario Kart and Faceball needs/wants, but if someone just wants to play GC in 480P, then it's cheaper solution (as long as you have a Wii, obviously).

Also, there's almost no excuse for not having a Wii at this point (unless you're broke, which is the only really good reason that I can think of).  They're dirt cheap and there's a pretty decent library of games that can also be had for a good price too.

My co-projects are slowly coming together.

Combined total for both projects:
- 16 GameCubes (I have 5).
- 16 Game Boy Players. (I have 5)
- 8 Broadband Adapters (I have 3)
- 16 Official GBA link cables (I have none)
- 16 NGC pads (I have 6)

-16 GB Faceball 2000s (I have 12)
- 8 Mario Kart Double Dashes (I have 5) <- I want all of them to be PAL versions with different language covers and manuals. So far I have 1 Spanish, 1 Scandic, 1 German, 1 French and 1 English. so the other three might be Italian, Dutch and ???. I have to check the languages of the manuals so I don't end up with duplicates.

- 2 Ethernet routers with 5-ports (I have none). I know I could use 8-port one but my Halo 3 setup needs 5 of them anyway.
- 9 Cat5 ethernet cables, 3 metre long. (Blue, Red, Green, Yellow, Violet, Orange, Purple, Turqoise and Black).

Addional:
- 8 TVs, matching ones, 40+" (8 more for Halo later)
- 16 TVs, matching ones, 20"
(I have 18 or so TVs in different sizes and formats, ranging from 14" to 47")

Maybe:
- 16 NGC Component cables
- 16 SNES -> NGC controller adapters (I have 1)
- 16 SNES pads (I think I have 10).
-------------------------
BTW: I think I have heard that some pokemon games can be played up to 32 players, but I don't dare check that!!! ;)
