It’s a comic strip that is based on the authors, and in the text update for the strip it even says that it’s based on an actual conversation they had and they think the PS2 version on a CRT still looks better than the remake on an HDTV.

They’re not playing the remake.  That’s the PS2 version.

Thanks for jumping on this now that he’s been blacklisted from most conventions in Texas for over a decade. No, seriously, go look at his list of con appearances. There are a lot of cons in Texas, and a lot where he’s been invited exactly once and then never again, and everybody who’s worked in the con circuit has…

Well, the transliteration of the original title is “Ganmu”. Note that that’s a nasal “n” sound — not the hard “n” you’re used to when it’s by itself in English words, but closer to the “n” in something like “gong”.

I’ve seen several Bowsettes/Boosettes/Chompettes at every convention I’ve been to in the last several months. It’s definitely the latest cosplay meme.

As somebody who’s a big fan of both Trails and Suikoden, I think that’s a really big stretch.  The only game in the series that’s comparable to Suikoden is Trails of Cold Steel II, due to the mechanic where you wander around the world to recruit team members.  Otherwise, they’re about as different as you can be and…

So this is totally off-topic, but I just thought I’d add some trivia that the reason you can’t see a vampire’s reflection in a mirror is because historically, until recent times, mirrors were made of silver. Silver, being a holy metal, wouldn’t reflect the image of unholy creatures such as vampires. That was never…

I’ve got good news! You don’t have to understand.  If you actually want to understand in good faith, be polite and there are many people who will educate you.  If you don’t want to, you can just move along and stop bothering people.

The thing is, if you’ll recall reading his original review, he also completely missed the real final boss. In fact, he didn’t even realize it existed, which suggests to me that he skipped basically all of the optional content. Note that he doesn’t have any advanced jobs on his save files; it’s possible that he got…

Um, all of those sites are part of the Gizmodo media group.

> The job’s been made easier, the hackers claim, thanks to Sony reportedly housing the key to decoding the PlayStation Classic’s firmware on the device itself

Actually, the nervousness and anxiety you’re seeing are how you know it’s *not* canned.  All of the people who get up on stage and give a perfectly eloquent speech where they never once stumble over their own tongue?  Those are canned as hell.

Did you not read the part about how you can switch between art styles?  It’s not censorship if the original is still available.

Perhaps you’d like to suggest which ones you think are better and explain why rather than just being condescending?

People keep saying things like this, but I’ve got a decent quad-band 801.11ac router, and my Steam Link is capable of streaming games at 1080p 60fps no problem through a couple of walls.

Came here to post this.  The sampling used in this test is objectively flawed.

> I’ve seen things you people wouldn’t believe ... 80-hour crunch weeks. Mismanagement of some of the industry’s top talent.

All of the decent NES emulators are open source, and it would be illegal for Nintendo to port them over to the Switch without also releasing their changes to the source code, and that’s something Nintendo would never do. (at least, that’s true for anything licensed under the GPL, which I know higan is)
