So he’s gonna dig out that Superman: Flyby script?

See, I read these panels, and all I can think of is “Dammit, we’ll never get Jeff Goldblum as Mister Sinister.”

Yeah, I think that’s probably it. I read both Kotaku and io9, so I either conflated the two sites or Kotaku linked to the io9 article when it first ran.

Am I going crazy, or did this story run like a few weeks ago? Because I swear I’ve seen it before.

Perhaps “preserve” isn’t the best word for it. Maybe it’s better to think of ROM sites as libraries, offering free access to vast amounts of media that most people would otherwise have no chance to experience. Of course, libraries are legally protected and “legit,” so the analogy still isn’t perfect, but you get the…

Yeah, I think this one is a much more clear-cut case than Emuparadise. This site wasn’t “preserving” anything, and considering it was also offering pirated movies and ebooks, it was bound to be shut down eventually regardless of Nintendo’s involvement. If it wasn’t Nintendo, it would’ve been Disney or Warner Bros. or…

That’s just a stock photo from Hansel & Gretel: Witch Hunters, which is the movie you’re thinking of. Gretel & Hansel is a new adaptation with no relation to that movie, so I don’t know why they used a picture from it.

The FF7 port has the exact same QoL features (3x speed mode, battle assist, and the option to turn off random encounters) as the FF8 port. The backgrounds are based on the slightly higher-res backups that SE kept from development, so they look better than the PS1-grade assets that the FF8 port was forced to use. The…

Hasn’t that already existed for years now?

Worth noting that Shantae is also coming to Switch, PS4, XB1, and PC, so you could also just play it there.

It looks like the only input option is the controllers for the Neo Geo Mini, which... aren’t very good. They’re designed to look like the Neo Geo CD pads, but instead of the microswitch joystick, they just used a generic analog stick.

Man, I’m on a Genesis kick these days

No, it’s not just you. They’re making it deliberately obfuscated to make players frustrated and push them towards paying money, even if they don’t necessarily have to.

I’m a bit surprised King would allow that, but I think he’s at least smart enough to realize that the Kubrick film is, for all intents and purposes, the “official” version of The Shining for a lot of people. So an adaptation of the sequel to the novel would, by extension, have to be a sequel to the Kubrick film as…

Marcus Fenix said gay rights

The irony, of course, is that people like that considered Holowka and his work “SJW trash” right up until the moment he died and they could claim him as a “victim” in their “war.” They feign concern for people’s well-being when really all they want to do is silence their critics.

Ok shut up, is the new one actually named Qatherine? Because that’s a Game Grumps joke.

Getting a big “Wes Craven’s New Nightmare” vibe from this. Which isn’t a bad thing.

In a hunter/gatherer sense, sure. But the legendary items at least have value within the context of the game itself. The drill doesn’t even have that.
