@xcalibro: Mariokart64, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark and WCW vs NWO: Revenge. Why cant they make games like this anymore, everything seems so cynical and limp wristed nowadays. Soul Caliber was probably the last great sit down with your mates and compete game.

@Evil Tortie's Mom: Lol, yeah I should have thought of that, NW England, the sunny town of lancaster no less, where it only rains 340 days of the year.

@kylo4: No need for a FAQ kylo4, it's quite literally a crosspiece at the bottom made from two bits of square guttering with a hole cut so they slot together. Followed by a round tube slotted in the top set into a load of plastecine. And finally a nutella jar lid, with a load of metal tubes metal-puttied into place with a squadge more plastecine and a spacer made from the original plastic tube. Then spray paint, slot together and bob's your uncle with a nice bit of strong wire pushed through to support the barrel casing on the vertical pipe. Only tookl about 5 hours including going to the shops to buy the stuff, beats coronation street any day.

Laptop gun... what a great choice of a weapon to create! Next they should make a chainsaw, gravity gun or BFG!

@ma5h: The North West of Great Britain, the United Kingdom, or England? They're all different, you know.

Of course they're all bloody damp, so maybe it doesn't matter.

Oh the bin men would take it up in fife but 3 weeks later you would get a bill for an "on street collection". Can't believe we can tell thats the uk from those pics though, it's strange I can't tell why I just know.

The guns do look cool though.

Yay!!! my laptop gun made it on :)

It is as some commenters pointed out in Great Britain, the sunny North West no less. And is now used as a sexy hat stand in my friend Carrington's house.

Perfect Dark rocks, capture the hill on temple is just superb. But why oh why can't they put decent bots in modern games?

But the wall and fence are blocking it. The enemy should be able to run past it easily. If anything, he should've thrown it higher on the wall

Is the DS more powerful than the n64?
Could it handle perfect dark online?

xivmini — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 15:29:29 MDT

I found that the best position for a laptop sentry gun was on any ceiling beside a door, especially in a narrow corridor. Sure, it's cheap, but a Phoenix levels it out.

@MakTheYak: The bin men will probably refuse to take it because the lifting of a object would violate some stupid union rule. That's if they're as awful as they are down here in the South West. Stupid new 'refuse collectors'

Wow I loved Perfect Dark so much.

But everybody I knew was all "I play goldeneye".

Of course I tried to explain to them that it pretty much [i]is goldeneye[/i] with more stuff, but they didn't want to play ...

Not so many raccoons in the UK. Can't say I've ever even seen a roach either although my fiancee assures me they exist here as her mother works in health and safety.

Ugh.

Sweet turret though - wonder what the bin men will make of it!

@ryanrule: Ooh, the villa! I have distinct memories of gaining many kills in that level with the grenade launcher. Remembering vague images of me being on ground level, some sucker running across the bridge a couple of stories above me, and then surprising them with a package full of BOOM.

Fuck, I loved that grenade launcher. I got very good at judging angles and trajectories on that thing. Used it for many kills when my friends would camp and snipe. Good times.

Could anyone tell me if the sentry gun was cheap? I don't remember it being cheap; it blew up pretty easily, IIRC. But there's a part of me that says it was a cheap-ass weapon that we banned in-game. Might be another old FPS confusing me poor brain, though.

@GwennBlackfeather: I have to agree with you there,bud. Goldeneye made the console FPS what it is, PD64 perfected it. The originality of the guns were just unmatched at the time. The secondary fire on each weapon just added to the brilliance

What the hell happened to Secondary Fire anyways?
