I dunno if there's a thread for this, but the search function is all weird. Has anyone used this? How does it work?

No clue. Never used the thing.

Clueless as well.

I think some guy at work has it. I'll ask him about it.

Never tried it. I have always been interested in how good the service is, though.

From what I understand you pay a $10 fee per month and then can try as many games as you want? Pretty cool I think.

Quemaqua · « **Reply #6 on:** Sunday, December 23, 2007, 11:54:35 PM »

He was asking specifically about the search function. I think he's already a customer.

He was saying search here sucks, how is gametap?

Uh..I havent tried it. Everything I read is it is not dialup friendly. I guess it liked to load things from the servers as you play as opposed to downloading things outright. But you pay your fee and you can play whatever they have available all you want that month. Theyve got a pretty good selection of games including old console games emulated. I suppose its not a bad deal if you consider the price of a physical rental.

Yup, I know. I was responding to Ghandi.

Quemaqua · « **Reply #9 on:** Monday, December 24, 2007, 12:14:57 AM »

Yeah, okay, I totally misread that. I'm tired.

I should have inserted his quote. My bad.

Quemaqua · « **Reply #11 on:** Monday, December 24, 2007, 12:33:43 AM »

Haha, I meant I misread the original post. Which may not be what you're talking about, meaning that I'm further misreading and potentially leading you to do the same......

MAKE IT STOP

Pugnate · « **Reply #12 on:** Monday, December 24, 2007, 12:44:45 AM »

hahaha.. I am confused and amused.

Quemaqua · « **Reply #13 on:** Monday, December 24, 2007, 12:51:40 AM »

That rhymes. You must be clever.

JacksRag(e) · « **Reply #14 on:** Monday, December 24, 2007, 01:01:32 AM »

What a hilarious misunderstanding.

scottws · « **Reply #15 on:** Monday, December 24, 2007, 07:14:18 AM »

I did turn up this thread in the search related to Gametap.

NatchDan · « **Reply #16 on:** Monday, December 24, 2007, 10:53:12 AM »

Original post: "How is Gametap? OW's search is old and busted, so I'm asking you"

I keep seeing ads saying free, so I was wondering. The other thread's first post makes some more sense. I think I might check it out.

idolminds · « **Reply #17 on:** Monday, December 24, 2007, 11:23:29 AM »

Gametap does have a selection of free games that they change out every once in a while.

Ghandi · « **Reply #18 on:** Monday, December 24, 2007, 12:33:21 PM »

I really wanted to make an ambiguous response to further add to the confusion but I won't.

Anyways, I'm pretty capable of finding other sources for the games for a much reduced price so I doubt that I would ever try it. But it is a neat concept. I wonder how many subscribers that they have.

Current free GT game: Psychonauts!

EDIT: New Zealand Story! Fuck yes!
