That was mind-boggling. Frankly, double jump is a pretty apt, attention-grabbing, description for “player jumps obscenely high with enough hang time to realize he wasn’t making the catch and had to stretch more to reach the ball.” I probably wouldn’t have read “great play at SS tonite!!” on Kotaku, and I’m pretty…

Or you could just....I dunno, relax and not take it so seriously?

Thanks for clearing that up. I though he actually had super powers. 

I had to do that with a Lego Star Wars disc I got.

yeah , its a mod for a late nineties game , and similar mods have been around for a while , so its probably not going anywhere.

Ugh. They chose to replace the original space background with this “disney-fied” version full of bright and colourful nebulae all over the place and slathered a pound of vaseline on the screen.

This wont always work either as most games don’t contain full content on the disc and still do a DRM check anyway. What happens when those servers go down or you could no longer download the full game?

There’s always a way to “fix” these issues.

If you’re giving odds I’ll take them. Given that they haven’t shut down allll the other mods out there, including the one this is made on which has been active for a couple decades now. 

Pulling a game from steam doesn’t prevent you from redownloading it if you purchased it. It just takes down the store page. And your physical copy would still be broken, because it’s the game itself that does a server check, not the mere practice of owning a digital copy of the game.

Your physical copy still wouldn’t work here because accessing the DRM server isn't a physical/digital issue. 

Yeah that’s what I figured too, that someone down at Sony HQ had come up with this, rendered it once, and then saved the image. If nothing else I felt like they wouldn’t want to waste the processing power to render this everytime in 1995 but I guess it’s the title screen, they knew they wouldn’t have anything else to…

I always figured it was originally made as a model, but then they rendered one frame and used that image for the screen. I didn't think it was a model actually being rendered in real time. 

Piracy is stealing plain and simple. I used to be like a lot of folks in here that believed that because digital piracy doesn’t actually take any supply from the victim that it isn’t really stealing. What I realized is companies never miss the product itself, they miss the profit associated with it.

Seems to me it’s the lady being sued that rode everyone into the ground.

Lessons were learned in this thread.  Lessons were learned.

Not sure a story about a cop shooting a kid armed with a jug of antifreeze is the place to trumpet the force’s collective “mental toughness.”

That was the response from the Tour de FRANCE

Looking at the responses, I suppose I did. But I genuinely didn’t think it’d be necessary.

Look, if the cop told the kid to ‘Freeze’, and he was holding ‘anti-freeze’, how is that not blatant failure to comply? Easy grounds for opening fire.
