Yes, I was referring to the roms of current games, the product on which Nintendo relies. And I’m not sure what you are talking about in regards to international copyright (and First Sale Doctrine) as the EU is home to about half the copyright violating sites that I can think of off the top of my head.

Got to side with the “N” on this one. They blatantly are attempting to undermine Nintendo’s revenue.

On a separate but related front, Nintendo is someday going to have to defend itself for profiting off the .nes roms since they didn’t develop the format.

This, of course, ignores the fact that they turned down the deal that Teresa May got them.  It was the best deal that the UK was ever going to squeeze out of the EU (who are definitely sitting in the position of strength) because most of the UK voters are under the disillusion that Europe needs Britain more than…

I don’t see the hate. Unless you grew up there, what do you care what they do with the interior of house? I despise “reality” shows, but I found the project interesting due to its central obstacle: How do you make a real life TARDIS when the exterior of the house is smaller than the interior you wish to recreate?

Plus,…

A week and a half removed from the NRA 500. 

How long did it take to beat the game that only your socks came off?  

This is incredibly smart from a business and creative point of view. He just gave Microsoft the kind of advertising they have been (literally) unable to buy. Now when Sakurai approaches a company to include a character, their marketing department is more likely to give their approval.

I, too, would like to release a statement:

Good on them. The haters are just being a bunch of Gobeilles.

(Your mom and I didn’t want to tell you this, but, son, there are gay people in the general public.)

Someone is telling them that they are right. Don’t underestimate the appeal of the almighty circle jerk. 

He’s right. Dehumanization is responsible for these attacks. But the amount of dehumanization that comes from video games is a tiny drop in the bucket compared to the torrential flood of toxic rhetoric that is spewed on a daily basis from the White House.

“the chance to judge others”

My cable box is on the fritz and reset while I was watching something on the DVR. The last thing I had watched live was on ABC so I was forced to watch this show for twenty seconds until I had the power to change the channel and I too wondered where the appeal is. Reading your comment has…

It is if they stay with her after her fifteen minutes are over.

No, that people accepted her for the real her is the take away. Yes, she misled people into believing that their “reward” was to look at a pretty, young girl. But in the end, she learned that people were okay with seeing a middle-aged woman. (And that’s as close to the “females as prizes” topic that I wish to approach…

There’s a difference between asking a question and encompassing it in a critique.  Google: Context. 

My aversion to online gaming stems back to one of my earliest experiences with it. My cousin suggested I try an online FPS he had been playing. I had to deal with learning a new control scheme while enduring a constant barrage of abuse (via text, the internet couldn’t handle group voice chat yet). Explaining that it…

I’m quite surprised at the narrow generational target. Throw in a couple of older series and movies (Davy Crockett, Mickey Mouse Club, any of the Dean Jones films) and parents and grandparents (i.e. the people paying for the feature) will view it as more than “that thing for the kids.” Walt built his fortune (and…

Or measure the clothes that they’ll be wearing ahead of time.  

This is a perfectly healthy way for the brain to help keep you from getting mauled by wild animals. Unfortunately for 2019 me in suburbia, it’s not a particularly useful evolutionary feature. To cope I just keep my headphones just off the center of the ear. It helps keep me grounded and the fight or flight portion of…
