Charge, gentlemen!

How do you play video games in my Followers list? Isn't it really cramped in there?

I love the Midnight Club series. The first, 2 and 3. The reason I bought Jimmy Eat World's Futures and Morningwood's self-titled album.

But that requires me getting Steam, so lolnope. Besides, I prefer to play with a controller.

Already have it for PS2, prefer gamepad.

Explain why I should waste hard drive space.

Because it's free? And you don't actually have to download it. Joining their group will add the game to your library, you can download it whenever if you want to.

Will only do it under two circumstances:

1) Gamepad support.

2) Online multiplayer still functions.

I don't know if it has Gamepad support, but being a PC game, I'm certain multiplayer still functions.

I can confirm it has gamepad support. Checking the steam forums shows that people still play this game online.

But there's a big hiccup.

Midnight Club 2 does not support Windows Vista or 7!

A guy on the steam forums made a patch to get it working:

But I guess when handing out such a game for free that a patch is gonna come out to allow it to play on those newer systems.

Controller is supported.

Actually, after some Steam updates, it's fine now, according to Reddit.

Rockin'.

Just one last side issue, not really important ore anything, but do we have custom soundtrack support? 'Cause I don't much care for typical "street racer" music, you know, rap, hip-hop, that kind of crap.

I prefer rock.

No t sure but I think you can go into options, turn off the music and then just have iTunes or something running in the background.

And don't say that drains system resources, MC2 is a 9 year old game you can run it just fine :P

I mean, I have to get some hardware to hook the PS2 controller up to it. It's good to know though.

I don't have iTunes, and I don't want to keep a Youtube window up at all times while playing.

You haven't seen anything indicating custom soundtrack support?

Sigh, I'm sure you could just replace the game's sound files easily enough.

Xbox 360 wired controllers function just fine with Windows PCs. They're USB plug and play. :)

I'd rather not, since I wouldn't really be able to tell the difference between an in-game sound effect's file and a music file.

Are you trying be difficult?
It honestly shouldn't be that difficult to tell what the file names for music is.

Do you have to be so condescending about it?

I've never done anything of the sort before. I'm predominantly a console gamer. I don't have experience with this kind of thing.

Yeah, I really don't want that…

Funny jokes.

I honestly couldn't care less about the game, but hey, it's free, so why the Hell not?

Could someone who is actually helpful and not a condescending asshole step forward please?

We'll stop being condescending when you declare your obvious love for My Little Pony.

Not this bullshit again…

This is getting as bad as the "supportgunner mains Peach" shit that drove me from IGN.

(For the record, I was the user "supportgunner" on IGN's boards. I was never able to shake the claims. I hate that place even now.)

(And I am really beginning to think that the internet is the same everywhere. It's all one giant pit of bullshit, trolls, lies, hatred and more bullshit.)

(I really don't want to have to leave. But I've always been straight with you about how much I hate MLP.)

(That is never going to change.)

(Like war…)

(War never changes…)

EDIT: Also, you're only being condescending because I'm a pony hater? Yeah, real nice way to make me want to be here. /sarcasm

I asked an honest question. I didn't mean anything toward anyone. What do I get in response?

Insults.

I'd be better off trying to start a conversation with the Great Wall of China.

You know what?

You need to learn how to take a damn joke.

I take it Chris sent you a message?

But that aside, just look at my username. I think it speaks for itself.
