A typical user wouldn't manage it themselves, just like a typical user wouldn't go back and sort their Start menu folders (I work in IT, I see it, that's why I was curious if 8 improved on the situation).

I tend to dismiss the Search with regard to the Start screen, as I said, because it's not really part of the new thing. You could do it before, you can do it in other OSes. Doesn't make it useless by any means, just...not a defining feature of Windows 8 or the Start screen.

I hold the position I do on Metro apps/UI because I'm not always given the ability to choose. Elements of the OS are ostensibly tablet oriented, with no alternative mode. Were it truly an optional experience, then sure, I'd celebrate it as added flexibility, but that's not the case.

Being functional with a mouse and keyboard isn't the same as being designed around them.

Which is why I stated it was an experiment. To see how it handled it. Kind of the point of testing an OS - to try and break it. Ninite just gives a convenient way to install a boatload of apps.

But it does turn to shit. My experiment for that was to take Ninite and simply install (nearly) everything it can install. The results were far less usable than they'd be with the actual Start Menu. That's without -me- actually configuring anything, just letting installers do what they do.

It's not just a start menu. I mean, sure, the actual Start screen is - and it turns to absolute shit if you have a ton of programs - but that's not the full extent of it.

Or most arcade cabinets?

Post-credits stuff is pretty similar already XD

There's a physical Collector's Edition coming out at the end of August, which also includes Flower and flOw along with some bonus materials (soundtracks, commentaries, etc).

Right now...

Who knows. My point is more twofold. First, that bringing such a device to market is quite reasonable given that it's not really a new platform. The hardware they're using is already in use, the OS is already in use, and there are already games on it. This isn't starting from zero.

There have been upgraded consoles before, but they still had a defined set of specs. Genesis with a 32X, N64 with an Expansion Pak, TG16 with a CD and Arcade card...

I think the big difference is that the Ouya is less a completely new console, and more an Android device designed for TV/controller based gaming. Absolute worst case, their front end flops, and buyers are left with a hackable, TV based Android device.

I wouldn't. Well, wouldn't again. I had similar hopes for the game, but I found the artificial padding due to MMO-ness to get in the way of enjoying it simply for the story.

The biggest thing I don't like about Capcom's fighting game DLC is that it tends to remain DLC.

There's content added in as far back as the Cerberus base attack. New dialogue, etc, that helps explain some of the ending.

All shooting the kid does is fast-track you to the Refusal ending.
