@!Skyline!: Not even...no.

@Mokona: True, but I think most hardcore Nukem fans were spawned from the 3rd iteration.

@t3rminus: Microsoft canceled the project because of the shift in gaming they were observing, which eventually wound up being Natal, I guess.

Eh, argument meme is a pretty cool guy. Disregards logic and doesn't afraid of anything.

@fuchikoma: Yes, but Painkiller had lighting shurikens....

Someone's shaking the free-publicity tree... c'mooon mainstream media!

@awh: Love Tagscanner. I've downloaded Picard, but have yet to try and get into it. Tagscanner, on the other hand, has already neatened up most of my music.

The thing is, he really shouldn't be attacking video games specifically, he should be attacking everything that's not you practicing your instrument. Of course, he thinks some people might be under the illusion that these games will make you better in some way, so I can see why he said that.

Really it's just a frontend for DOSbox, which is pretty much rock-solid. D-Fend itself is lightweight and easy to use. But yeah, sometimes you do need to pump that CPU.

@buddhatooda: head == desk.

@Rampage: This joke has gotten . . . *puts on second pair of sunglasses*. . rotten.

@MetalOverlord0001: I agree, but even if it was, that's not a free pass to "good-game" status. Just because we're riding a nostalgia wave doesn't mean everything faux 8-bit is better for some reason.

@SuperSonik: Go to www.wololo.net/wagic to download the latest version, it's all packaged nicely together, just extract to your normal homebrew folder. If you want card images you'll have to look around on the forums, as they can't be supplied with the game for copyright reasons. Even without the images the game looks…

@Crashproof: Whoa! Those player-submitted models are getting CRAAZY.

This seems like exactly the kind of thing the homebrew community could latch onto. A new control mechanic that that's relatively easily accessible for most people could be very beneficial for the community and for the device itself.

@deanbmmv: I'm not sure whether Portal 1 was set at the same time as HL2 or not, but Portal 2 is set centuries after Portal 1 because Chell goes into stasis again after defeating GlaDos.

This article reminds me how nice it is to not have to rage about Jack Thompson every 5 seconds. I'm glad those dark days have for the most part passed.

The graphics on here are amazing. The focus-pull 'technology' they used makes you never notice the lower-polygon background :P

Who's the little purple cyclops-guppie in between Morrigan and Raptor?

@Phaper: This is not the first time Kotaku has done this to us....
