I've only played #2 on the original playstation, but it was one of my favorite RPGs of that era along with Xenogears, FF9, and Suikoden I/II. One aspect of the game that I really enjoyed was the ability to play through the entire game from the perspective of 2 different main characters. This made the game just as…

In past steam sales, all of the games that appeared as an option for a community vote showed up as a daily deal at some point during the sale. I'm sure we'll get another shot at Gunpoint and Monaco.

Hotaru no Haka (Grave of the Fireflies) and Mimi wo Sumasiba (Whisper of the Heart) are probably more accurate comparisons to this film. It's been a while since Ghibli has done a non-fantasy, more serious film, but this type of film certainly insn't new to Studio Ghibli.

my favorite was the ESPN.com Easter egg

Odin Sphere isn't as unknown as you suggest. It sold almost 600,000 copies, which isn't bad for a niche game (not counting the digital sales of the game on PSN).

This would prevent me from buying a system if the competing system wasn't region locked. My wife is from Japan. She likes to play games in Japanese if possible. We have 2 PSN accounts, a US account and a Japanese account. We use the Japanese account to purchase games from the Japanese PSN store. We also pick up a…

No need for a court order unless the hotel refuses to share the footage. He can just go to the hotel manager and ask if they would be willing to let him look at it or share it with the local police.

I have a feeling I'll be just fine

If this happens, it will probably be about as successful as the PSP Go was.

Owen, this paragraph seems a little misleading and suggests that it is thanks to the unauthorized port that the official PC port is being created.

I randomly came across the video of Samurai Gunn on youtube and have been looking forward to it ever since. Samurai Gunn appears to be a little more tactical while this Tower Fall game looks a little more chaotic. Both look like a blast to play and I'll probably pick them both up.

I'm not really familiar with Nvidia 3D, but my understanding is that Nvidia 3D is its own stereoscopic driver that intercepts the DirectX video output. If that is correct, then a driver like VorpX or Verio would not be compatible with Nvidia 3D, it would be used in place of the Nvidia 3D driver. I can't say for sure…

I guess I got lucky then. I wonder if it was a mistake in my favor. I could also be mistaken in my memory - it was about 6 years ago when T-mobile pulled my credit and I saw it on my report.

Isn't that how he was playing Bastion? I don't see how Bastion could have been rendered in 3D considering that there shouldn't be any z-buffer data to feed to the driver. The way Bruce describes it, I assumed it was like a flat plane with the game on it in front of his face.

I don't think that cell phone credit checks shouldn't hurt your credit. They are pulling the credit for inquiry for eligibility purposes only, not to establish a new line of credit, so it shouldn't show up as a hard inquiry (similar to credit checks for car insurance). My credit check with t-mobile from a few years…

Running a credit check doesn't build credit. Building credit only occurs when information is reported to the credit bureaus. Pull your credit report and you won't find any mention of Verizon on your report because cell phone carriers don't report your payments to the bureaus. Unfortunately, a cell phone and…

I've been following the development of VorpX for a few weeks and it is looking really good. The z-buffer 3D seems to have better compatibility than the verio driver right now. It will be released as a commercial product instead of taking the open-source route of verio. Check out the writeup that 'Road to VR' did…

No need to apologize. The video itself isn't very clear, which is why I wanted to clarify - so others reading the thread would realize that there are two different drivers out there right now to enable 3D on the Rift for games that were not designed with the Rift in mind. You gave a really good a explanation of the…

This makes me even more excited to get my Rift.

In the video, Bruce is using a new driver called VorpX, not Verio like he usually uses. VorpX is actually capable of geometry 3d (using 2"cameras" and rendering the scene twice as you described), however it is turned off by default for performance reasons and it looks like Bruce didn't switch it on. The geometry…
