I have loved a lot of the mini-games in the JRPGs I've played. They serve as a sort of diversion from the storyline, or even the tedious process of leveling up, and tend to be placed at the best moments in the games to allow you to blow off some steam. It's as though it's something designers in Japan have been aware…

I agree that emulators add a lot of value to android devices. But it looks to me you have three titles there: Snesoid, ePSXe, and GTA VC.

Right now, there is a lot of discussion between Earthbound fans about how valid a purchase the Wii U is. The reason being, of course, the recent announcement that Earthbound will be coming out on the Wii U. What other games can we hope to play that will make the purchase worthwhile? Ultimately, for the price of a Wii…

Spot on!

You can run it with wine. I just never really got into TextWrangler, but I suppose if you don't like Wine it's not a valid option.

I agree what the guy is showing isn't dubstep, but you do realize you're describing about 80% of the styles that spun off from post-punk? There is quite a bit of stuff that defines what went on to become dubstep, but melody and bassline are hardly the core of any of it.

I've always used something like Notepad ++ and changed the encoding according to what I want the results to be. Works pretty well.

Maybe among your family? Because I know plenty of folk from Argentina who would disagree with you.

People who don't really know what kind of hardware is out there likely see this whole DVR thing as a neat new feature. And for even less than that complicated streaming stuff that companies like Netflix offer!

My experience so far has led me to stay away from SLI/Crossfire. There are situations where I definitely think it is a valid thing to do, but if you're doing it to save money and you do a lot of gaming it probably is going to end up costing more than it is worth.

If you're really worried about pesticides, etc, peeling the thing isn't going to fix the issue (though this admittedly depends on the vegetable). If peeling is a way to get rid of the pesticides, save yourself the headache and just pick up some organic produce from a store that specializes in produce/organic produce.…

Huge and ridiculous, just like the Dreamcast controller was. At least they're striving for accuracy there.

Room full of excited devs just finish showing off a demo of their game to George Lucas.

I personally don't mind an always-online requirement, but I can already imagine Durango becoming the SimCity/Diablo 3 of consoles.

Well, like I said, it hasn't really been a problem. I have considered picking up a Nexus device, though. Perhaps on the next one they release. I just haven't been in the market for a new phone yet.

Is it just me, or does this feel like this "Everything Wrong" video kind of had to make a bit of a stretch here? If you remove the obscure and forced pop-culture references suggested by the narrator and all of the "errors" that are pretty much made moot by the fact that most of the film was much more…

I mean, I can see how a lot of people think the games are stupid... but man, it's kind of like you missed a huge party. It was a lot of fun, and there were attractive people and everything.

To me, price is an issue. When the iPhone launched, I wanted it. A lot. But when you look at how Verizon costs $30+ more a month for the same services US Cellular carries (as far as I can tell on their website), it means you're talking about losing nearly $400 a year just to have the carrier with the iPhone.

I had a shoe repair shop a few blocks away from my house growing up. We'd take all kinds of stuff over to that guy for him to fix for us. He was incredible in his leatherworking skills, and I miss the fact that I don't have a repair shop nearby any more (I've moved since those days).

I've always loved the Mr. Saturn design. The character was made to embody innocence without being overly cute, and I think it hit the nail on the head. It's an iconic character design that has aged well and definitely deserves to continue to show up in cameo appearances (ie super smash bros).
