  1. 1. hokkee your new avatar is amazing 2. mats sundin isn't worth blowing one's load over. he's really good..... but wayne gretzky he is not 3. anyone trying to make wags look bad by picking on the penguins - you are wasting your time. Us Pen fans are pretty content... and don't get insecure when you bring up a few bad years. Meanwhile... it stings when your team actually never wins. See - the Pittsburgh Pirates. Ouch!

    yep ggs, we'll resume tomorrow. hopefully carse won't have to spend an hour putting his controller together again
  5. I think people who have been saying there is no reason to favor Kega should take a look at these items: if the controller issue is tightened... then this makes Kega a lot more favorable 2 questions: for novices, what settings should users change for optimal use? for full screen, which settings will display the proper aspect ratio of the game? Is this user dependent?
  6. I don't have many problems with Kega... just as many as Gens. I just feel that if one is having connection issues... it will be similar on both platforms. When we have games in the future, I'll play Kega.
  7. therefore..... I am rooting for sebe to upset AJ. I might not have any good shot at beating sebe.... but at least I won't lose 15-1 every game
  8. Interesting. I am curious if others have Christmas conflicts? Anyways, the deadline is the deadline and I'll do my best to make it, or I'm s.o.l. Does my 2nd round opponent rely on the outcome of your series, or could I potentially play them now?
  9. When is the deadline for the round after? I will be out of town from Dec 23rd to Jan 3rd.
  10. "tested" so... Kega has some sort of built in Internet booster, right? don't get me wrong... Kega could be the best. For you. We just don't experience what you do.
  11. You didn't give me much confidence, explaining all these places that you would be that would prevent you from finishing your series. I am just making sure we don't get stuck extending deadlines like we have in the past. Nothing personal, brah. Anyways, I hope you get it in, good luck.
  12. when is this 1st round deadline? and if they don't make it... does ice advance since he was the one who has been available?
  13. yea brah, thanks for the congrats on my wins
  14. pit 3 la 2 la 6 pit 5 ot la 6 pit 2 pit 3 la 2 la 8 pit 4 pit 3 la 2 ot pit 5 la 4 Pit wins in 7. Habs prediction was no where near correct.
  15. There is a distinction between objective and subjective assertions. The ones you make are subjective. There is no dispute to this, as you are using your own experiences and are presenting hearsay of conversations you had with other people. I have stated that we need evidence to distinguish if Kega is superior, nothing more. Until then, I don't feel it is a good move to brand Kega as champion when other people prefer Gens with arguments that hold just as much merit as your own. Hokkee has the best solution - use whatever works for you. And I'm not above asking how you think my retort was defensive? I'm not defending Gens. I've stated that I have had situations where Kega works very well. However, the percentage of low quality games is similar on both emulators for me at this point. I'm asking that if you demand Kega exclusive leagues, then present objective reasoning as to why we should oblige. Telling me "many people think it's choppy" isn't much. Right now, I don't see an overwhelming response to Kega exclusiveness. I now hand over the rest of this conversation to Hokkee, since he made the best point.
  16. I'm not sure why you feel the need to become defensive. I'm wasn't attacking you, I was objectively stating that I need reasons to use Kega, not your subjective experiences. Although I have no problem now saying that you are using your own bias as propaganda so you can get your way. It's pretty clear that several people prefer Gens over Kega, with excellent reason. If you want to rant on the forums that you will only join leagues that are exclusive to your likings, you are planting seeds for exclusivity that isn't going to help the state of the increasingly fractured leagues. If you are going to campaign Kega, then you do the research. Don't write off people and expect your arguments to receive respect.
  17. I certainly have experienced this conversation on a few occasions. I am not inclined to use this as strong evidence... it is a weak assertion based off of qualitative responses of two different people. One person's "smooth" may be another person's "choppy". Several people, notably those who live in the west and play predominately eastern opponents, very likely could be used to generally choppy games. What I would like to see is some basic proof on the disparity between playing experiences. Using Gens, games can be recorded... so if 2 coaches independently record a game, then they can be compared. Of course this needs to be done until the "it's smooth for me" "it's choppy for me" experience... but until then, I am not convinced.
  18. Avoiding? I didn't even know that it did? In what sense does one side of the connection get favored, and what evidence to you have to support this?
  19. In the same manner, I would say your kega theory is wrong. I played a game with Metz on Kega, with hamachi, and it was terribly slow. Everything was choppy, even the music. We played afterwards on Gens - smooth. I can present my personal experiences as an argument to use only Gens. additionally, I have desynchs with Kega a few minutes into the game on several occasions. Your rebuttal that desynchs can be avoided as long as you don't hit full screen at the same time seem dismissive. What I am seeking is "kega uses x which gens does not have that prevents desynchs and segments of choppiness" I should say that I've played some excellent games with a few guys on Kega - it appears that it can allow for smooth games at a pace that is accurate to the actual game. But it isn't consistent, and I don't think it warrants exclusion of Gens.
  20. Yea I agree... the differences seem very small to me... hamachi certainly will allow for much smoother games regardless of emulator. that should become mandatory if anything. gr18.. I am interested in what research you have done that warrants you to completely boycott Gens and parade it on the boards as if it's a monster? I certainly can understand that your personal experiences with Gens have left you frustrated.. but they do not represent the majority of players, some who prefer gens for various reasons. Just stating that kega is better leaves me skeptical. Is there documentation on the mechanics of either gens or kega that would definitively allow us to qualify one as "better"?
  21. Translated: checks and balances is what makes this country great. Sure the deadlines have been reached... but based on current trends and past history, it is very likely that some coaches won't hit 56 in by the last deadline. We should get on their ass now to play games so we don't have to later.
  22. I'll play... I don't see anyone online though and it's 7pm. IM me - matthurray
