I really hope so.

I am really looking forward to ARR. I'm just bummed about their continually-diminishing clout on the JP scene.

Who cares about Square Enix anymore? :(

About the same time we started getting old.

Gabe is pissed about the Windows store taking front-and-center so he makes a console where you can't run anything else?

Yes but there is a big difference between NES games and what we are "buying" now. I can still play my NES games. I will always be able to play my NES games so long as I possess the cartridge and a console—and what's wrong with that?

I play 10+ year old games every day, and so do most (not all) of my friends. I really don't understand why so many people like yourself shrug this off like it's no big deal. How would you like to be shit out of luck if you wanted to re-watch some of your old TV shows or movies? Why should games be any different?

Don't stop now. I just grabbed snacks.

This is the issue I've had with always-on DRM since its first introduction. SimCity isn't the first, and it sadly won't be the last.

Ergonomics > symmetry. Also, the vast majority of the time, my left thumb is on the analog stick and my right thumb is on the face buttons. Where are my thumbs in relation to each other? Not in a symmetrical position.

That d-pad really is horrible. They had better sort that out for next gen.

Yeah. Let's talk about symmetry. The vast majority of the time, I am using the left analog stick and the right face buttons. Now, if I am using the 360 pad, then where are my thumbs in relation to each other?

You're exactly right. I used to try to explain this to people, but so many people just won't see it. You can see below even. I've given up.

I would say, sadly, because there are more mindless sheep than not.

I don't understand where all the hate comes from. It boggles the mind.

Really interesting, Stephen. Sounds like Dylan trusts you quite a bit. How'd you start up this relationship anyway? I'm assuming you reached out to him via eBay or something?

Thanks for bringing up the SNES. I always remind people of that.

Hear hear

Yeah. Good times.

I thought Gamemaster4747 killed 1UP?
