See, that's the thing. There really SHOULD be a line of separation between the two. But to many folks (as the comments here and in other threads below make clear), such a line either doesn't exist or is just outright ignored. Just like with Dust: An Elysian Tale, there are people who outright refuse to even touch the…

All kidding aside, this misassociation of "animals = furries = EW BAD" is actually a real problem in the comics, animation, and gaming industries. Talking animals have been a staple of character design since the dawn of animation (hell, the first cartoon featured a dancing dinosaur), yet there's such a stigma behind…

Redwall. Blacksad. Maus.

I can't tell if everyone in this thread is actually being serious or not.

I honestly have yet to be convinced that downloadable games are in any way a threat to physical media, and instances like this (no pun intended) drive the point home.

They can have Neon too, but that's mostly in Japan/S. Korea.

More Puffin' for the stuffin'.

"Aye. That's exactly what I thought when first told of the tale. Buried in the sands of New Mexico, in a place that which cannot be found except by those who already knows where it is. Find it, we did. And there be the mound... and beneath, be the cartridges. We took them all! Sold 'em, traded 'em and fritted 'em…

Uncle Joey is still up to his old tricks, I see.

Yes, and the fact that you were able to pull through it means that everyone else should be able to as well, regardless of their individual circumstances, including those who have legitimate diagnosed mental issues. These leeches aren't worthy of any compassion if they can't simply "get over it" like you did.

Permission is the art of using certain cues to convince the consumer that, while the product they are putting into their mouth does not contain a thing, it's still basically the thing, even though it isn't. Think Apple Jacks. There are no apples in there — they don't even taste vaguely like fruit — but somehow the…

Conveniently enough, that also gets 90% of the work done towards every leading role since FFVII! Just add some awkward hair and an asymmetrical costume, and voila!

Aw MAN, these things. I remember not caring at all how crappy the graphics/gameplay were on these things. I could still play them for hours on a family road trip (in the days before my parents finally bought me a Game Boy).

I disagree. While the Virtual Boy deserves to be on the list for sure, there was another awkward, uncomfortable, all-red-palette "portable" console that was far, FAR worse.

It wasn't included in the original version of the article, which was published last year.

Keep in mind that improved framerate and HD visuals don't mean a better experience for everyone.

"...a mediocre PC to run a slightly-shinier version of a game designed for consoles using decade-old hardware tech."

Fixed that for you.

Imagine this applying to the Zelda universe.

I read in interviews that there was a wealth of additional footage of Ledger's Joker that didn't get used in the final cut of the Dark Knight. They might have been able to repurpose some of it to fit the Joker into DKR, whether as a cameo or a smaller role, but it seems they made the right choice and opted not to.
