Were these from the sniper school? They had to have been, a non-green sniper would never do some of the stuff they're doing here unless they were taking a quick shot and then moving. Snipers are almost always used to defend though, snipers used in offense is pretty rare except with SOF. Designated Marksmen on the…

Jesus. I listen to real punk rock and metal (in fact I'm listening to Pulley's self-titled album at the moment check it out). Fall Out Boy is basically exactly what the Bouncing Souls were warning about in "All of this and Nothing", they're an MTV "punk" band with no actual cred like Green Day had in the early 90's,…

I disagree. The outline for what he envisioned would happen was already done, it was just displayed as walls of text instead of being playable. I'm sure that Squaresoft had/has storyboards and art done for the missing parts as well that weren't included in the game but were intended to be.

I don't personally care who…

Well for Apple devices you might be screwed, though if someone in Iran has an iDevice its probably jailbroken since I strongly doubt Apple will support a device in a country under BXA restrictions. For Android though you can install an APK (which is really just a .zip archive) from an SD card if you allow non-Google…

No they didn't. Mr. Phoenix and Navid Khonsari are two different people. Khonsari also lives in the United States, so of course Iran branded him a spy and a traitor.

Iranians are crafty people who do not hesitate to improvise to solve problems. I'm sure someone will covertly distribute it.

I'm actually really interested in this, history usually doesn't get portrayed as well as it can and should be in games yet, non-fiction as a whole is woefully under represented, and hopefully this one is a step in the right direction. Time will tell though.

The specific Xenogears (not Xenosaga and not Xenoblade, they have some of the same themes but they are different beasts) IP is owned by SE. They can and should do what they wish with it, including finishing the original game and releasing it on PSN or mobile, instead of some half-baked shit like All the Bravest or…

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?
