Yeah, that show had a profound effect on my childhood. Every Friday night, I'd be up, watching that and then some Dave Letterman in the NBC days. I'm old. :D

RE Edit: Yup!

Everyone loved Ken because he didn't take to social media and start trolling the crowd. But I'm sure he's just as much a badass as this guy. Not sure if the strategy Chu rolled out works for even similar-level players ... the penalty for doing it Chu's way is massive negatives (which he limits in a sense, if he…

Not sure if Trebek looked pissed or not. I also see nothing wrong with how he's playing the game, since in order to 'break' or 'hack' Jeopardy (doing it with his strategy), you need two things that most people don't possess:

2nd act in New Hope was about getting the Death Star plans to the rebels. The long, weird, and confusing part happens upon the massive amount of conflict and barrier between just handing the things off from one group of rebels to the rebel commanders.

This was one of those games that, due to its length, probably should have been released as an XBL Arcade game, instead of the 1000g type.

It can affect some people that much. The others are right to question whether it's a legal quagmire down the road, if he did lift code from proprietaries without license, but it's hardly a stretch to think that the guy never intended so much ire from his creation.

If you loved GTASA, check out "Things to Do in San Andreas 'Til You're Dead" ...

The way they could compete while hopping on the current gen bandwagon is to make backwards compatibility for their titles. That's still a huge dealbreaker for me with the current MS/Sony iterations ... another box in the living room, do not want.

Sounds like they're moving toward the trend that MS and Sony are setting at least, with all kinds of extras and trying to create a whole happy box set of things to keep you in their network.

I think I got mine in '87 ... before that, supply couldn't meet demand, & it was a bit pricey for my family. Same result though ... I knew I was getting it @ xmas, and I saved up and bought Excitebike 2 weeks prior ... spent every evening staring at the game and the packaging, letting my imagination run wild, to get…

The internet was fun while it lasted.

September 26th, 1983. I see 1979's incident, and I raise it this:

Not sure about that one.

Art, it's a complete subjective experience. Beauty in the eye of the beholder, and such similar mottos.

YES!!!

I knew of the online-focused gameplay at least a year or so before SC5 launched. That was around the time I grew less interested in the game.

Sounds a lot like the Killswitch game of urban legend. Fun read.

Just in case, read mine more as an experience of my own, how I felt about how information age has changed perception, with absolutely no intent to deaden the devastating effect a "plz die" troll can have upon a dev or anyone else's feelings.

I have a friend who experienced the same perplexed state over the release of his thesis film to local film festivals of a few years prior. He had the same disappointment with a harsh internet critic or two, of his initial public work.
