I don't really give 2 shits about OSX, it's more that anyone would spend $2000 on something worth roughly $900 because it has the interface of a child's toy (I don't have to convince you, I don't know many people who bother to argue). Same thing with iAnything. If you like OSX, use it. Don't put up with a 300% markup…

Odd, considering I know around 2 dozen capable programmers personally and they wouldn't bother with OSX. They use Unix, Linux, pretty much anything that isn't Windows (which they tend to have on dual boot as gamers) or OSX (Unix with a kid's interface doesn't really seem like a step up to guys who I've seen run their…

4k is a resolution leap. That's it. OLED sets have been in the works for almost a decade now, that they're coming out with the 4k shit is just marketing. Had they managed to make them cheap-ish 2 or 3 years ago you'd realize that a 1080p OLED looks better than any 4k set

"Worth paying more not to deal with Windows" It really, really isn't. You may REALLY like using computers with children's interfaces but adults tend toward Windows or Linux. We spend the $1000 or better we save on making sure that our shitty Windows experience is as good as possible... like having a giant screen to…

I may have to load it back up at some point, coming right off the first game I had an instant distaste for the move from 2D to 3D. I guess the first one holds a special place for being a side scroller in a time when all the other devs were making middling 3D games. After discovering the sequel I was bound to be…

Tomba! (Tombi! for overseas crowd) was fucking fantastic (if easy to the point of fault) and anyone who gets the chance should check it out... unfortunately Whoopee Camp split up not long after the second game released. I didn't even know there was a second one until around 2 years ago, when I was sorely disappointed…

Snafu, that's like the Tron lightcycle game, right? Hours of good fun to be had trying to avoid the trails, can't disagree with that. I always found the Intellivision controller a bit disconcerting, the movement disc is pretty neat but the buttons on the side.. ugh. The joystick on the Atari is really stiff and…

Oh those are great for kids, I sent my niece and nephew one I picked up for $10, had a bunch of classics or pseudo-classics on it. A lot of them are decent, all things considered. MetalJesusRocks over on youtube actually has that exact model in a TV plug and play review he did:

Nah it's not about the inability to connect it, there's just something about playing it on an old wood panel TV with the dials and whatnot. Somewhere around 2000 I picked up a coax adapter for mine from Radio Shack, the console works on pretty much anything with a coax jack, but there's something to playing Atari on a…

This. This is where everyone should start. You have to hook it up to an old POS TV and let them play in the dark, Atari is an experience that everyone should have... ideally while they're still relatively unspoiled by more modern games. The games are simple, inoffensive, and in general so cheap that you have an ample…

To be fair, it's a legit concern if, say, you're going to be doing a 3 day pro-am circuit and you need to know how far you can go in between pitts... maybe a cross country rally or something. Even Top Gear factors the MPG in their supercar reviews... then they promptly ignore it as a deciding factor of any kind... as…

Well my personal experience and the internet at large disagree, smash a barrel or two before most of the cutscenes in the game and it won't be there when in the scene in the GC or Wii versions. They use FMV clips for the content from the PS2 version (including the Capone/knight costumes). If you put on the alternate…

The Wii version is by far the best of the "original" round of releases. You got the sharper visuals of the Gamecube with the in-game cutscenes, the PS2 side content added, and arguably one of the few instances of the Wiimote/nunchuk improving controls over more traditional systems.

Bud has a lot of taste... it just tastes like someone microwaved some piss and bottled it.

You're goddamn right, male Elsa, Johnny Bravo and Shaggy are WAY too sexualized. As a man, I'm offended as fuck.

Super Smash Bros would be a very different game than Super Smash Bros. is. Nobody wants to see Mario with a douche beard and a mesh shirt or Peach in her Basic Bitch getup. Nobody with taste anyway. I just call it Smash, everyone knows what I'm talking about. I've never been discussing games with people and said…

Yannick was like 5 when the first Smash came out so it's unlikely he would remember that. Similarly, he wouldn't recognize that the "Bros." is "Brothers" as in Super Mario Bros. because he's not a real gamer. :)

I love how women don't seem to get that empathy doesn't come as easily to most men. How dare a man have to experience something before he can... experience it. Many of us literally have outward emotional experiences beaten the fuck out of us as kids (stop crying you pussy) and our brains aren't wired in quite the same…

He is, by a few minutes.

Could you at least stop using the term "twin"? Mario and Luigi are canonically twins, if Wario is anything he's the "Evil triplet". Never mind that he doesn't particularly favor Mario or Luigi or the actual canon behind the characters, just stop calling him a "twin" when Mario already has a twin. Twin = 2 sir, stop…
