10, maybe even 5 years ago I would have totally agreed with you. However, in these days of new console / easy mobile ports and remasters, making sure the codebase is well documented and relatively clean is a godsend. There’s nothing like the feeling of opening up a closing kit from a project to analyze for a port…

From my experience with crunch to hit certain milestones, 9 times out of 10 it results in buggy hacky code and execution due to overwork and lack of sleep, but the tasks are all technically “done”. The other 1 time is a genius solution that fixes a problem in a way that no one considered. Which is great, except that…

Please please please D3, do another PC release for this!

Jesus Christ, man! There’s just some things you don’t talk about in public!

So there I was. Close to tears and several emotions I have a hard time naming with the credits destroyed and hope (such as it is) restored. Then I get this message asking if I want to sacrifice my save file. After thinking on it for far longer than I think I’ve ever done on any Yes/No question box in a game in my…

Just started the game with this last major content update. Stopped playing after about 8 hours after I had made it off my planet to a space station and found that it didn’t change my gameplay in the slightest. You’re in space! Go to another planet to find all the stuff you just found already but on the new planet so…

The 50K was only the first month of a several month lawsuit. Not sure how much the other time was, but they definitely didn’t walk off with 120K in any case.

Exactly. Today’s forecast where I currently am is a high of 95 degrees and 90% humidity. If you go outside, there is not a single person wearing pants. Linen pants would make the wearer look like they were just in a wet t-shirt / wet pants contest, so I hope they’re wearing decent underthings.

Yeah, I’d imagine it’s for chat only, much as the similar Gamecube controller was for PSO.

The Gamecube controller/keyboard combo worked surprisingly well for Phantasy Star online play. I’d probably attach mine if I were using it since it means I only pick up one thing instead of putting down and picking up two at a time.

So... same reason that Kazuki’s female disguise suit had them in Dual! ?

We all know that it’ll be the SNES 1.1 version with none of those additions, but agreed. Or they could troll us by releasing it with that stuff but removing Vanish/Sketch and Vanish/Doom(XZone). :P

Someone else said it! I’m a rhythm game fan and I’ve never seen the appeal of PaRappa or Umjammer (Gitaroo Man is at least playable...)

Exact opposite for me. The original trailer gave the feel of yet another David Cage emotionfest that would be just as well experienced through a Let’s Play (or a movie for that matter). Meanwhile, I can totally dig Watch_Dogs: Android with hints of Quantum Break.

Except that availability of the original console cannot be the only reason. C64s and 128s are easily available 30 years later and are totally hard and soft moddable with software available to toss on SD cards and load natively on the hardware. And yet there are multiple Commodore emulators out for everything under…

Not a chance. The most inane and unsold consoles out there have emulators built for it, some on every platform imaginable. The home of *Halo* not getting an emulator because of lack of interest isn’t the case at all. As AKBrian below stated, it’s more because it’s a massively royal pain to reverse engineer and no…

It’s something that I never knew I needed that I absolutely love using with WeChat in China. Go out for a meal with a group of friends? Enter the amount, tap “Go Dutch”, poke the people in the group, accept even payments from each of them, done.

You know they’ll hear you and make a pink RAcaseal with a bog standard Saber (why?) and a HUcaseal with twin Daggers instead now, right?

The food trucks at E3 have been and probably will always be horrible. Unlike normal LA food trucks which have interesting food choices, these will serve your standard fare like chinese that’s been rejected from Panda Express, BBQ pulled pork that’s been purchased and brought straight over from Ralph’s down the…

To add on to what Jason said, the trip to the airport in the afternoon/evening is going to be a *killer*. If you’ve got a 7PM flight, expect to leave E3 at around 4-4:30 latest to avoid a possible parking lot on the 10/110/405.
