Skype.

Well it's in the goldeneye section, therefore it's not off topic!

Incorrect. This thread's in the Goldeneye forum 'cause Elias wanted to add Skypers who played GE. That don't mean ya can just blab in this thread 'bout Goldeneye.

If the rules were as ya say it, people could jump in on discussions 'bout how ****in' annoyin' Proxytonning is and talk 'bout how lame lag is instead, disrupting the conversation at hand. Or even worse, throw up a post t' find Friend Codes and completely destroy the thread as a flood of players come on in. That sure as shit ain't how it works here.

At no point have I blabed about goldeneye. I'm just here to add skyper who play goldeneye!wat r u here for? Looks at Splash_King...

What do you think? I'm here t' enforce rules 'n such. And t' respond to these off-topic posts'a yours as well, like the one above.

Communication between players on the same team! Amazing idea!

Yah, it also means that you can communicate with your team!

You never went off topic, but ya did revive a dying thread with two needless posts. These two posts weren't a request for other's skypes, but needless confirmation of what's already been said: a re-post. That's why I'm bellyaching at ya. So with that said, enough with this banter. If you've more questions or concerns, PM me rather than pollute a thread(s) with inane chatter which also results in me doin' the same via my own stupid babbling. Like this bloody post as well.

Adding people to skype chat is ok, adding people to skype call and play GE is asking for trouble, it will lag you to death !! Trust me I know...... you have been warned.

@ Freaky Baby.....WTF you have ruined my nickname for you !!! Splash_King...... what am I supposed to do with that. I could call you KingDong, but that would make you sound like some sort of Porn Star

I'll think of something .... eventually

Wow, i gotta say this is quite the crackdown from magikarp.

As to playing with Skype, i've never actually done it.
But i don't see how it can cause that much lag.
I mean. There are usually two computers(wii+computer) running and using internet connection when i play.
And i usually don't have a problem. Unless the computer is downloading a huge amount of data.

I don't know how big the data transfer is when skyping is though.
If it's big, then i'll def. take your word for it Goldie.

Before I got the upgraded Verizon Fios internet speed, GE would slow down a little if Skype was being used simultaneously on another computer in the house, on the wireless. With a wired connection, no issues though. Now, it has no impact for me either way. Speed = Good.

The only downside to the upgraded internet speed is that I am prompted to host a LOT more nowadays...

I kinda did an experiment with it a week ago. I voice skyped with some [L2K] guys. In the games where it was being used i was posting scores like 26-11 and 26-6.....my wife then took the laptop off me and I had to play without skype. The next two games that followed i posted 46-7 and 38-10 games. Logged off after that but I could tell there was a VAST improvement in-game with much less lag. However, I do run on a 4MB d/l and 0.7 u/l line so I don't have much bandwidth to play with..... I live in a village so the internet here is crap lol.
