Today, I decided to try The Conduit online. I wasn't expecting it to work on 56k dial-up. Well, I was wrong. I ended up playing for around 2 and a half hours, and would've played more.

It wasn't lag free of course. But it wasn't like the lag I experienced in CoD:WaW (Jumping from one side of the map to the other in a blink of an eye), but it was there and it was noticeable, but not annoying enough for me to chuck my Wii-Mote in anger. I lost connection twice, only becausethe phone cord thing (can't remember what it's called) came out. Connectionsto games were fast and never dropped out.When there wasless people in a game it ran alot smoother (that would be obvious). I had a match with3 other people and there was not a lot ofnoticable lag.

I'm definately one happy camper :D

6 days until The Conduit hits Australian shores!

Apparently, Henry is going to join Travis and Shinobu asplayable characters!.

I CAN'T WAIT!!

I finished it back in June, and it is simply amazing.

No More Heroes 2 easily. Although Metroid: Other M is looking good aswell.

I agree with people saying too soon for new smash but maybe we have the wrong idea. It certainly wouldn't make sense for a new Smash on Wii but a DS game is possible...

You took the words right out of my mouth!

Travis Touchdown and Ronald McDonald are who we need (and mega man too)funsohng

YES! That would be amazing!

I don't see why everyone says that the water temple is hard, I thought that it was easy.

And I never found Majoras Maskoverly hard. There were hard bits in it, but not as many as there are made out to be.The only reason that I've never finished it is because I sucked at Goron Rolling (At the last bit where you get the Fierce Diety mask, or at least try to.) And the first Zelda is more of an open world, where it leaves you to your own devices. It's more annoying then hard, in my opinion.

Errr, it doesn't. He's not the messiah.

No, he's not the messiah. He's a very naughty boy.

(Sorry, I just had to say it.:P)

2 weeks still for me (and anyone else in the PAL reigon), until The Conduit comes.

And I found something Conduit related when browsing the web...

I haven't even played The Conduit yet, but I've had some ideas (already), more on the story side of things. Alot of reviews (journalist and user) have said that there are no set pieces, or the ones that are there aren't really memorable. So I've thought up a set piece for No. 2.:

Set it on the roof of a skyscraper. Down below you are thousands of drudge swarming toward the tower, after your blood. And you have to fight them off. Maybe have some sort of team with you (2 or3 people to help fight them off) but you'd be doing most of the fighting. Utilise the enemy count ofThe Grinder and have heaps of drudge to fight. You also wouldn't need fancy AI, just have them rush at you (There are thousands of them after all!). This could also be an Online-CoOp multiplayer mode.

Also, The Grinder looks great, and Gladiator AD looks like it could be good, but it needs alot of polish, and some interesting ideas added.
