My dad showed me the first games I played (not counting my uncle's ColecoVision when I was 3...) and I learned to use DOS to get to, list, and run them. We spent countless hours together figuring out Space Quest games while he played. Eventually I got an NES, and while I was really starting to be blown away by what…

Wow. I could see it if it was a hardcore sim like Operation Flashpoint - but the screenshots on the site make the first OFP look gorgeous and ornately detailed... For one thing, it has hills.

C'mon TWEWY MMO!

@Mireille is German for The Bart, The: I thought it was a small step forward because they have a small measure of body fat, and aren't stretched vertically to Amazonian proportions. Short and stocky for a fantasy elf, but pretty good for a human.

Wow, they can copyright honorifics? BRB - I'm going to copyright "Tanaka-san" and then retire!

@StompedYourHouseWithaMech: Yep. This is just another evolution of that idea. There are still some artifacts of the process in current filters; maybe this method will be truer to how it was meant to look?

@2c-b: I appreciate the effort, but unfortunately at that size, as a JPEG, it's hard to see the difference. I notice the blue square is a little more rounded in the bottom two, but the top one doesn't even look jagged. Maybe it would show more at 100% or 200% the standard SNES resolution, as a PNG? (Don't bother on my…

Nice interpretation. I prefer the original, but maybe this will make older games more palatable to younger players, which is a good thing in my books.

@Cleesox: I love how the whole context shifts right at the end. If only I knew where to find more of this series, if there is one.

Just found this comic in an old folder on my PC... Apparently it was saved in 2005. Enjoy!

Garth Marenghi's Darkplace

Wow, they sure are becoming accepted. Pretty much the whole gallery is cars I've never seen!

@Xeriel: I know Sonic, and I've seen various 3D visualizations of proteins, but I'm not a cellular biologist and haven't seen that particular visualization style, so it looked like a random doodle of noodles wrapped around shapes to me. I guess that's what he wants most people to see though...

@InsideTheForest: I guess it's still pretty new to some? I remember just over a decade ago, no one knew what it was, even though a couple shows had been on TV in different forms (Kimba, Astroboy, Robotech, Akira, Saber Rider, Voltron.)

I like Move, and I'll say: Never. Not at all. My handhelds are handheld, and if I have to set them up on a tabletop to play, I'll just play an actual console.

Higurashi no Naku Koro ni - as fansubs. In North America, it was called "When They Cry," but halfway through the series, Funimation picked it up, so they may have butchered it as they're infamous to do.

@m0re: If you're using the old sites, ca.kotaku.com or uk.kotaku.com, it still adds them. When I see replies from the new version of the site, I have to check the time they were posted to see which reply is meant for me.

@pevans34: Yeah, but you do lose control. Your weapons stop working and you can't open a simple door, but it still pretends you're playing. I find it a lot less jarring to see a fully recorded scene because it's just telling me my character did something instead of handcuffing me so people who don't know I'm there can…

I have a free one called "Shot Clock."
