    Skyward Sword HD randomizer announced with release date and trailer

    I still have to play through Skyward Sword, but I recall the opening tutorial being about as tedious as the Twilight Princess one. I didn't know that the right stick gets sword duty in the HD release, but it may still be more preferable to a Wiimote. Either way, a new Zelda randomizer is always...

    Select PlayStation 2 games are coming to PlayStation 5

    Ah, that's right, with PS4 backwards compatbility, the HD remasters can skip a gen. Square-Enix will re-release it on the PS6, I'm sure. Thanks for the rundown. I appreciate the Black Friday tip, since I usually don't count on these types of discounts. I've considered a Raspberry Pi several...

    Select PlayStation 2 games are coming to PlayStation 5

    Thanks for the info. It sounds like X-Arcade is the way to go. I am tempted, but I don't think I could get away with using $250 USD on an arcade stick at the moment. Life is short, so I should probably consider putting some cash away for it.

    Select PlayStation 2 games are coming to PlayStation 5

    Ooooh, the X-Arcade Tankstick! I haven't thought about that for years. There was a time when I thought about buying a cabinet and fitting it with a dual X-Arcade stick. What a nice dream. Thanks for the #MemoryUnlock Most likely, Square-Enix will default to porting over the HD versions of Final...

    Select PlayStation 2 games are coming to PlayStation 5

    Ha, don't put the idea in my head, I've thought about buying an arcade stick for ages. For a brief time, I looked into building one too.

    Wow, that really is disappointing. Like Nintendo did with the Wii U and Switch, Sony can do that too, but the problem is the customer perception. What are these big companies doing?

    Which industry got you sinked in?

    Yeah, I think my interest in video games naturally led to the whole computer fascination. I learned about compatible parts before there were websites that did the work for you. I enjoy building PC's, and I've considered a Pi several times just for the experience of getting it up and running.

    Questions you're too afraid to ask elsewhere.

    That's a tough one. Like @BakerMan said, you can always be direct and try to have an honest talk. Another option is to come from an angle where you yourself are concerned about your own habits. (Heart issues, breathing difficulties, bodily pain) Emphasize yourself and even ask for her support...

    I wasn't expecting mention of The Bouncer in this thread. That game was interesting back in the day. Great graphics and presentation. What got to me was how enemies could hit you while you were down. The final boss AI really took advantage of that. It's s shame there wasn't a two-player story mode.

    Select PlayStation 2 games are coming to PlayStation 5

    I have purchased a few hard-to-find PS1 games on PSN. I always appreciated that PSN purchases carried over to the PS3, but I don't know if that continued to the PS4. If the emulation is poor and people have to purchase the same games again, then that would definitely be the Nintendo MO. I...

    Homebrew RELEASE reVC: Reverse engineered GTA Vice City - Switch port

    I will always be bummed about this one. GTA3/re3 was unfinished, but I think reVC is pretty complete. They never finished the Liberty City Stories/reLCS conversion, so it's a bit messy. All so Rockstar could bring us the Definitive Editions.

    Should I use Linux instead of Windows?

    Everyone on the forums seems to recommend Linux Mint, and I want to try it out at some point. I know Ubuntu's a solid choice, though some of my installs end up asking for a password to use the browser. I truly don't know how to feel about AI. It's coming, it's going to be implemented left and...

    Should I use Linux instead of Windows?

    My advice is to consider what software you use. Go to the WINE database and see if the games you play are compatible. Look for Linux versions of anything you commonly use. Thankfully, OpenOffice and multimedia players will bridge the gap for everyday documentation and media. Your browser of...

    Silent Hill Transmission event scheduled for May 30th, 2024

    I've had Silent Hill Homecoming on my Steam account for ages, but I've never taken the time. I've heard genuinely mixed things about Silent Hill Downpour, so I do wonder if that game has any merit. Between disbanding Team Silent, switching devs (multiple times), and the Silent Hill HD...
