I wish we had elected the person that wrote the first tweet instead. 

Not in the slightest. Brute force programs use the most common names and words, capitalizing the first letter and followed by a one or two digit number. If you actually use a secure password than it’s not even worth the time to crack because you’re also more likely to use different passwords for different sites (or a…

Because he died ten years ago?

Older HDTVs will upscale just about anything. (That’s the beauty of buying a television before anything became standard. The downside is that it also means no fancy bells and whistles.) 

As I understand it, there are two separate issues at play. The first is the latency issue that is compounded by the buffer. CRT televisions draw the odd numbered horizontal lines, then start over and draw the even numbered lines. No matter what you do, the TV is going to store the image for a minimum of one frame. The…

Thank you.  Yes, I meant to type Dan.  (Blame the norovirus.) 

I’m saying that they showed two different approaches: legal and humor/humiliation. They sued Data East. They mocked SNK. (I also referenced the Data East character Karnov.)

I much preferred their strategy for dealing with copycats that they embraced towards SNK. While Art of Fighting’s Ryo was a blatant palette swap of Ryu, Capcom copied AoF’s other main character Robert, changed his name to Ken and made him the absolute worst fighter in the world. Maybe some day we’ll find out that…

You’re right. Especially when you find out that the normal protocol is to allow a student with long hair to cover it.

When it came out, Pac-Man was considered anything but crappy. It was understood that a box that sits on your floor wasn’t going to be as good as a stand up arcade machine. It really wasn’t until Ms. Pac-Man came out for the 2600 that people realized that they had been shortchanged on the original.

Pelosi: “Then take it to a vote in the House.”

I have to take umbrage to this comment.  Nancy, one of the four people in this room can bring a vote up in the House.   Guess who it is.

Stanley. From 1983 to When’s the next Nintendo console due?

If it took you three years to come to this conclusion, you probably shouldn’t be pointing fingers.

Unless he tries to enter Canada...we...uh, we don’t want him.

Starting a publishing company in 1990? I imagine that’s what it would be like to start a telegraph company in 1890.

“If you did it well, your ratings would be much better.”

Likewise, Mr. President.

They don’t say “Jesus” all over the cups?!  Riot!!!

Every Smash comment after every single Direct reads the same to me:
“Waaah! They included an element that’s not solely about the way that I want to play the game!”   

Brian Kemp can’t run a fair election competently. Let’s give him a promotion!

It’s not really set up like an encyclopedia. It covers the 17 console games in the Super Mario Bros main series in chronological order and looks more like a series of those features from Nintendo Power that showed an upcoming game.

Each game gets about ten pages. There’s a full page showing off the promotional/box…
