Yeah I wonder about that. But then again they are in Poland, I have no clue how laws regarding the matter work there. But technically, in the States you can fire anyone given either a. A vague enough reason like budget, or going in a different direction with the project or b. Reflecting poorly on the company’s image,…

Question: I understand wanting to record a run on an original machine, but other than the idea of splicing the run together, does playing it on MAME actually provide some kind of advantage?

I can’t make you do this, but I highly discourage you from falling into the Pavlovian trap of feeling ‘rewarded’ in this whole expanded universe rubbish. It’s the new crazy with Hollywood, and it works because people feel delight when they catch a little reference to something that only ‘hardcore’ fans will catch, or…

Yeah it makes sense to do without the shorter ACEs in the context of current GDQs, or to have them accompany the “proper” speedruns. I mean they gotta entertain people AND allow some time for donations, so something like the short ACE featured here would just feel outta place. It’s cool, but there’s not much to…

I see. After years of watching GDQ I had seen TAS but never seen an ACE run, which is understandable since it’s not nearly as fun to watch, while still very impressive. But this feels less like speedrunning and more like hacking. Not that I don’t like seeing games get broken, but the gameplay doesn’t demonstrate what…

I feel right at home with those three contestants.

I’m done. I don’t think I can Gohan like this.

Can’t i-Majin a better joke?

Some thoughts on how you talk about possible hardware limitations as a detriment to the game. Almost all art (in media and games included) happens by working with limitations (I would know). Whether it’s hardware, software, time or budget, artists and creators are always working with imposed limitations. These…

This is the SECOND time I see you dissing Donkey Kong Country Tim! And both of your guests agreed with you to boot. I demand to see your nuanced answer video before I hear you utter those words again! Also, for sake of fairness, maybe have someone who is pro-DKC on the video to have a proper debate.

One! More! Click!

Monster Hunter is unfortunately not know for its straightforwardness or simplicity when it comes to interface and menus... and this last iteration is ‘supposed’ to be streamlined

Even if the name is not an inappropriate word in a foreign language, if you plan on traveling or living abroad, nothing can save your baby’s name from sounding remotely similar to something silly in that language. Take it from someone who grew up abroad.

Seems to me like you are completely misinterpreting the comment you are replying to and writing in your own narrative of people being overly sensitive. Because if that’s what you’re getting out of that comment, you are not reading it right.

And that’s not to mention that the scope of games has changed dramatically from decade to decade to be bigger and larger at no additional cost. But damn those devs if they don’t include a fully-fledged open world, with new game+, side quests and a multiplayer mode (/end sarcasm)! As far as I can tell, the only reason…

Still got a soft spot for 2 Bros’ Pizza...

Well, that’s not a phrase you hear every day.

Yeah, I don’t disagree with you and as I said in my original comment, he could always go back studying after the fact, should he so choose to. Still the whole thing doesn’t sit exactly right with me. The father does seem have good intentions, but good intentions can still lead to bad results. Just to be clear, I’m not…

During a trip, people told me never to poke an angry snake on a sidewak and I did it anyway. I was fast enough that it didn’t bite me. Worked out for me, but generally speaking not a good idea.

I agree. Maybe stopping school attendance is one thing, but foregoing a basic education completely... I don’t know. I guess stranger things have happened, but that doesn’t sit right with me. I guess he can always go back to learning if (when) Overwatch dies down, but still.
