I like to think of it in the same manner as comic books. There was the Golden Age and then the Silver age and then a rebirth of comics. I don't think it means today's games are not as good.

I remember this game fondly.

There's a distinct lack of Games Designer in this breakdown.

Ah thank you good sir.

Where did you get the .wavs from if you don't mind me asking?

If that were true then the blocks would never activate if the hand didn't touch it yet you don't need to be straight beneath the block to activate it, in the picture you're showing if mario was a bit further to the right he would still be activating the block but the hand would be nowhere near it.

>.> no he doesn't....he hits them with his head but does a pumping motion with the arms, one gets raised and the other gets lowered.

Oh no need to worry about that, my humor is self-sufficient.

More like the Jaded Falcon....am I right? Hu hu? Come on up top!

What a pleasantly written reply.

I'm going to bypass the whole argument that you're making some pretty wide assertions about the game without having played it (you're not a random dude but a trained combat pilot) and skip right to the point that what you're describing is a fairly regular plot element in myriads of video games and movies.

Link unfortunately does not seem to work. I am sad.

Smarmy Strongbad!

YAY cake all around!

I think what he might be getting at is that the first one leads to the second and the third.

Steam makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

You may have an issue with my oversimplifying but it remains that piracy is theft. You are getting the benefit of enjoying the game but are not paying for it.

There is always the opportunity of waiting for the game to go on sale if you object to the price of games these days.

You may dress it up anyway you want but the bottom line does not change that piracy is just theft.

Agreed.
