Given that the main feature/incentive to get Gold is online multiplayer, it really doesn't matter what else is locked. In that, if you'd be getting Gold anyway, then who cares.

I'm not really sure why they did it with chalk to begin with, given it wasn't done on the street. It seemed like a lot of prep work for something barely more than a Vine video/gif.

Based on how everything else seems to go with companies like Nintendo and Apple, they'd still somehow find a way to make this require a cable.

Makes you wonder if there should actually be two different win stats. Like a "starting win" stat or something to differentiate that it's not one of the much more arbitrary reliever wins.

I can't remember what it was called. It had some rendered CGI donkey that kind of rotated on all three axis. It was a CD you'd start up the system with, it show the donkey screen, and then you'd swap out the disc to whatever ISO you'd burned.

That's probably true, though everyone I know who had a Dreamcast also had a ton of pirated games. The Dreamcast with that donkey boot disc, along with the DS and the R4 card, are probably the easiest consoles to pirate games for ever.

You must've had a very shitty laptop. I ran Minecraft on my 2004 Dell.

Are you meaning that the information technically exists somewhere, or that it'd still show up on the feeds of friends or be accessible to the general public?

I think a lot of that kind of response is based on so many products and gadgets et al that overlook many core features and instead spend way too much time on arbitrary features.

Reminds me of the Twitter that shows all the idiots posting photos of their credit cards on their Twitter feed:

You can set it so that anyone tagging you must be verified by you first, preventing any unauthorized tagging. You can do the same for posting on your wall, comments, etc.

It's still pretty quick via the guide button.

You ever see those signs that say something along the lines of "Watch Out for Falling Rocks" and you scoff and wonder who would care about a few pebbles? Yeah, this giant goddamn boulder that almost completely crushed a car in Taiwan is what that sign is talking about.

The other side to it is that many of these properties would never have existed if not for the corporations of the "greed."

What is going on here?

Did Jetpack Joyride really pioneer this genre though?

This is one of those situations I'm actually thankful for being older. At 19, when the PS2 came out, or even 24 when the 360 and PS3 were launched, I'd be all over every piece of news like it was really big stuff.

You could argue there are more than 3, given how many shows have characters essentially based on the Sherlock Holmes archetype.

Too many dead ends.

Ha, yeah the first one was eventually on every platform known to man.
