Because they've never bothered with prosecuting someone for emulating a game. Doesn't mean it's not still illegal.

Exactly. You seem to think that "belief" should mean "philosophy" or something.

Disbelief is still a form of belief. You're choosing not to believe in something, which in itself is a belief.

The live-action Super Mario Bros. film, with producer Jake Eberts. If you're familiar with his work you'll realize just what a missed opportunity it was.

Go to any website. Nintendo's legal page, for example, specifically says that both downloading ROMs and emulation (regardless of whether you own the game or not) is illegal.

Emulation is illegal. You cannot legally play any decent console game on a PC.

You also have to worry about the time since the project. I've been producing a documentary on a film made twenty years ago. We were finally able to lock-in interest from one of the film's producers, who happened to die last week before we could schedule an interview.

Doesn't read particularly well, in my opinion.

Westerfield's The Risen Empire was one of the worst books I've ever read. How is his Uglies series considered so much more popular? Did his writing actually improve?

My username is a reference to the digitaria grain considered a sacrament for a small African tribe.

I consider math to be no more relevant or grounded than witchcraft. I sincerely believe it to be made-up by the insane and narcissistic. It just doesn't make any sense, no matter how much the elite want it to be.

They actually explored that exact theme in the fifth episode of the anime series.

Watchmen was an exact adaptation.

Looks nothing like Fillion.

Smoking doesn't relieve stress, it feeds an addiction. It's disgusting and stupid.

You share that is if I didn't already know.

Art and culture is in no way as important to the well-being of our species as a treatment for cancer.

It amazes me that people can throw this much money towards stupid web comic projects, yet it never occurs to them that they could do the same towards cancer research or something more important.

His destruction of the Dune franchise is well documented, my friend.

Super Mario 64 featured friendly Bob-Omb NPCs, so I have no problem seeing the RPGs as a story-focused means of fleshing out the gameplay-focused core titles. For all we know Super Mario World was a months-long adventure in which Mario, Luigi and Yoshi interacted with many friendlies as well as enemies.
