There’s definitely a market for them. Personally I don’t always get the time to play every game I’m interested in, backwards compatibilty can help me go back to pick up something I never got around to playing last gen, but remasters and definitive bundles that include the DLC and so on can be even nicer. Since I got…

Correct. Also, the swastika is regularly used by large chunks of humanity with no connection to Nazi Germany. It is stamped on official electoral ballots throughout India and Nepal for example and is regularly painted on businesses, cars, buses and clothing in broad swaths of Asia as a sign of good luck. Cause words…

Sadly, the beer does not taste like Orc.

Personally I wish that the suit had resulted in Microsoft sending me a check for 10k, but that was probably pretty unlikely since I had nothing to do with it and my Windows 10 upgrade went pretty well

Yes. I can’t understand why this guys parents didn’t think about PSN handles and the efforts by the American media and politicians to demonize their religion after 9/11 back when they named their kid in 1990. I mean just because Sony wasn’t even making personal computers, let alone video game consoles at the time and…

Trying to control the flow of media on the internet in this way is like trying to grab a fistfull of the ocean. Your palm might get a little wet, but the water’s mostly going to slip through your fingers.

Been a long while since I visited either of those sites. Do they now have info on how to build MAME cabinets? When I was younger, they just hosted roms

Interesting, are there any guides or sites online you’d recommend for an Average Joe who is intrigued by your comments?

Your wife probably wouldn’t approve either

Yeah, I guess I mean from like a real major developer. There are some more independent, smaller studio projects that have tried to tackle this sort of thing and most have been lackluster.

Honestly, figuring out how to craft a single player FPS experience set during 1800s style combat would be more creative than another sci fi themed FPS.

So, question of Persona fans. I’m been interested in the Persona games for a long while, but my only experience with them was renting a copy of one of them for a couple days from Blockbuster back in the PS2 days. I enjoyed it, but haven’t had an opportunity to play any of them since.

What’s a good entry point into the…

I don’t know that I drink in secret so much. I mean I may stash a bottle of whiskey in my suitcase when I go home sometimes and go grab a nip every so often or something, but I constantly make jokes about and talk about my drinking. Like the other week I had a camping trip with my folks and extended family and told my…

I see that people commented to the original poster about health and the hit on the liver but I don’t think (?) 3-4 glasses of wine each day would have the same impact as 8-10 drinks - am I kidding myself? I guess, as some say, the fact that I’m even asking is the answer itself but clearly I’m still questioning.

Don’t worry, I am reading all of the responses.

Oh, I’ve been to the doctor relatively regularly and nothing is wrong. I’ve even disclosed my drinking habits to a couple of my doctors, who advised me to cut down but didn’t seem to concerned. At worst, my blood pressure is a little high but not high enough to be hypertension. The thing is that outside of my…

Right, and then sometimes I think about all the other ways people do this to their health. Like I think my diet is relatively healthy, not perfect, but it isn’t like I’m hitting the fast food spot every night. I went from being a pack and a half a day smoker to tobacco free nearly a decade ago. I make a point of doing…

I really like the idea of this little four week project. That said, and I know that maybe this is outside of your experience, any chance you’ll do a bit about functional alcoholism?

I should say that I am a functional alcoholic. I’m 32 and a fairly big guy, 6'2, just north of 200 pounds and I’ve always held my liquor…

Yeah, I totally recommend it. Actually, all the Steam ports of FF games. They aren’t perfect, and for a couple of them the graphic “improvements” are kind of crappy (looking at you VI), but all in all they’re pretty enjoyable. A few months back there was a Square-Enix Steam sale and I picked up all the Final Fantasy…

That’s a great story actually.
