So you can get pissed at the earbuds included with the device and go out and spend $50 on a pair that fits.

You kind of missed the point.

I think the 'binary view' the author is talking about is in regards to the fact that success = fun and failure = not fun. I think the author has a good point in posing the question, 'How can we make losing more fun?', and then introduces several games where success = fun and failure = fun as well.

Because, as we all know, video games are about exactly copying "harsh reality". That makes them so much fun!

Actually I didn't.

I HAVE A CRIPPLING PHOBIA OF FLESH-EATING FUNGUS

If someone used your likeness without your permission for commercial reasons I think it's pretty valid to be upset about it.

That's bullshit, the key factor was "KLM pilot took off without takeoff clearance". Yeah they're was a squeal, but that doesn't have anything to do with breaking a cardinal rule of air traffic, if you didn't ACTUALLY HEAR your call sign with a takeoff clearance, YOU DON'T TAKEOFF, you clarify that the takeoff…

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

To me, there's a grand distinction between true mind-controlled games and impulse-controlled games.

I really wish the Dreamcast was better built because its optics are known to completely fail after 5 or 6 years of its lifespan. It's one of the few consoles that I think needs a proper mechanical fix from an electronic professional, not just a swap for a new one.

Here's how the "sharing with ten people" thing would have worked in practice...

Haaaaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

Ugh. 'Roguelike' is not an adjective or a shorthand for randomization and permadeath thrown into genres that aren't roguelikes. A first-person shooter that incorporates elements from roguelikes is still a first-person shooter. So is a dual-joystick shooter, and a platformer, and a spaceship combat game, and anything…

except thats bs. In the real world, you see peoples skin color all day, every day. Why can't a game reflect real life?

>unfair enemies

That's pretty sweet. Now blow me some more and let us mod the console versions as well. I mean blow my mind.....

I just don't suffer stupid people easily. Or trolls. You're both. Any mention of Earthbound immediately brings up how steeped in nostalgia it is. Want to take a wild fucking guess why you don't "get it"?

You shouldn't care about Earthbound. You, as a useless fucking Internet troll, don't deserve it.

Bah...I made one myself much more insane...I took an Airsoft Rifle, mounted an LCD Screen on it, gutted an XBox controller and wired buttons to the controller and added a gyroscope...
