I guess this was the inspiration for Just Cause 2.

Like Kulahan says, something like NoScript may be able to fix that.

You should check Perfect Cell, a game based on the same concept and released 3 years ago for the iPhone. Excellent controls, very good atmosphere and nice graphics.

PocketStation was for the original PlayStation, so yeah you've probably never heard of it.

Maybe the most common on BitTorrent, but surely not the most common in the consumer market, i.e. people who actually pay for the stuff they use.

I haven't tried Fluke since I moved to Mountain Lion but I'd assume it works just as well. I've since converted my FLAC files to Apple Lossless; same quality as FLAC and, despite its name, the codec is both open source and royalty-free.

So Apple TV doesn't play pirated movies out of the box. Cry me a river.

Do you know if the online mode connects to the US servers or the Japanese one?

My PS3 couldn't see the media that was on my Mac. There's probably a way to do it, but 1) the PS3 UI and remote are way too cluttered and 2) the Apple TV works out of the box, with zero setup required. Also, PS3:

Also, the Japanese video game market as a whole has been shrinking over the last 10 years. So Nintendo is leading a market that will probably become irrelevant -revenue wise- in the next few years.

We've been able to play FLAC files for a while now: https://xiph.org/flac/itunes.ht…

Even your grandma know how to use an Apple TV. She probably have no idea what's a NAS drive or DLNA, and even less chance to be able to set one up.

So you can't afford a $90 device ($60 used) to stream stuff on your TV but you can plunk down $400 for a game console?

If you have weird video files (*) like those there's a couple of apps that can convert them on the fly to send through iTunes to the Apple TV, or a few other apps that bypass iTunes entirely and stream the video directly from your Mac to the Apple TV.

Mario Jumps First!

Does anyone living in Japan know if the US version still connects to the US servers? I'm getting the US version and I'd like to know before I try it myself.

Why no Lori?

You need to add Japan: it's OK to put all the weird shit we want in games made in Japan, but oh boy are we going to censor the hell out of games made by foreign companies.

I've never said anywhere that the Asian market was irrelevant. Are you trolling? The Asian market (basically China and South Korea) and the Japanese market are two completely different markets. Consoles were banned in China and Korea until very recently (although the ban was lifted earlier in Korea), so naturally the…

I explained what's on the graph. The graph clearly shows the steady decline of the Japanese market share in the global video game industry between 2001 and 2010, starting at 35% in 2001 down to only 15% in 2010. During the same period the European market grew from 22% to 37% of the global market and the US from 42% to…
