FFVIII was great until the third disc when the story went pahcrackers incoherent.

Yeah same here. I don't like Handhelds much. The last two DS that I had, my son broke and my first one's floating around Afghanistan somewhere. Hopefully some Afghan kid's learning English from Phoenix Wright.

SE has a ton of older IP that they don't do anything with, from Chrono to SaGa to Xenogears to Secret of Evermore. I know if they actually went and finished Xenogears it would sell like crazy, or if they had a direct sequel to Chrono Trigger.

So while adding new IP is great and all, when they seem to just rehash Final…

If you know that a child's responsible enough to care for a Cat, Dog, Parrot, Bearded Dragon or whatever, then nurturing that natural curiosity is the only responsible thing a parent can do. Far too many parents try to make their children do what they want them to instead of letting them explore the world themselves…

I thought he left California because Mario's father needed his medical license and DEA number to help Luigi kick his addiction to heroin? Thats why Wario is so pissed off, he lost his best customer because of that meddling son of a bitch Mario.

I just hope he gives Carl a nod and says "Billions upon billions", even if he doesn't I'm still looking foward to it. Cosmos was one of the most important television shows for making very difficult astrophysics, cosmology and life sciences subjects approachable for common people without "dumbing down" the subjects or…

I'm surprised at that myself. They must still have a credit rating higher than they deserve, or a major shareholder is ponying up money in exchange for something (probably IP).

Chrome, I may not agree with you often (except that your username's my favorite Gibson book/collection) but in this case I do, completely. While its a good article if you're into the subject matter, which I am not and cannot imagine myself being in, I really don't need or want to know what a Kotaku author does in…

Okay, that makes alot of sense. Thanks.

Well, sort of. For the most part yes, you're right, but having an outstanding kernel with crappy drivers and half-baked APIs in critical components like I/O isn't going to make anyone happy.

It really just depends on your design philosophy as to what the kernel does, some intentionally limit functionality in…

Weird. Does anyone know if this is happening on a native OS X client, or is it on a Linux or Windows port kludged into running on OS X (its not very hard to do, at least making a Linux binary run on a BSD isn't anyway, and whether Apple likes it or not, all OS X is is a pretty looking BSD variant with custom parts…

So, can someone make a Maori/Aotearoa Civilization mod? I'd like to beat the piss out of Australia in Civ with the 100% fo' realz New Zealand civilization, since they kind of already do on the Rugby pitch.
I'm not biased, I just know greatness. I'm an All Blacks supporter. I'm honest, see?

Don't let me catch any of you not drinking after lights out.

Oh shit, you're right. I wonder what the hell I was thinking of. Forward Infantry Support sounds like something we'd do, so it might be an MI process. Fuck if I know or can remember.

Its probably some kind of RSTA or SR craziness, since thats what we mostly dealt with in my branch, aside from MI's "unique" duties (e.g.…

Hell yes. Love that song.

"Virus" is actually my favorite by them. The intro's a little on the long side, but the actual song is freakin' amazing, except its not Bruce Dickinson on vocals, its Blaze Bayley.

X Factor and Virtual XI get overlooked since Dickinson isn't on either of them, and as a result people tend to…

Nice Iron Maiden reference there Mike. One of my favorite songs by them, with Dickinson anyway.

Very true.

I used to be in the US Army myself. The thousands of hours we spend at taxpayers expense dress right dressing rocks, sweeping sand, mowing grass, removing snakes from ranges, checking fluid levels in the motorpool, being tortured with endless Power Points (If I never have to sit through a damned Sexual…

Its all bullshit.

Sony's a Microsoft OEM. A fairly large one which sells quite a number of Windows licenses every year. Even with the slowdown in the PC market, they still sold 7.5 million units in North America as of Q2 2013. For a niche player that doesn't really court corporate or enterprise sales and sticks to…

Its called schilling. Its Microsoft's established practice and has been for years. Anyone remember Linux is Cancer?

It might be new to gamers (though I'm fairly certain they've been at it since the first Xbox), but in their actual bread and butter moneymakers, like Windows Server, Sharepoint, Office and even with…

Nevermind, it just has to be set as an executable in the file properties, which is kind of weird, never had to do that before for a program.
