    Reviews in the Media - Flawed and Inaccurate?

    The incident I was talking about occurred in 1985, so it's been around for a very long time - pretty much as long as there's been video game review magazines, in fact. Back then, of course, being a rather impressionable teenager I trusted mag reviews - Crash! was pretty reliable but even so...

    Reviews in the Media - Flawed and Inaccurate?

    It's been going on for as long as game reviews have existed. I'm sure we all recall the tongue-in-cheek Crash! Parody "Unclear User" which was published when it was proven that a competitor was taking money for positive reviews - Crash! proved it, published their knowledge only to be taken to...

    Report - Video Games At Risk For Another Crash

    I've said it before, but articles that cite some sort of gaming "crash" in 1983 just baffle me. I was gaming from before 1983, and at the point in '83 that this crash is supposed to have happened, I was buying new games every couple of weeks or so and I barely even scratched the surface of the...

    Android Full Speed NDS Emulator Coming to Android!!!

    Glad you found one that's virus free - so far, two variants have been found in download links doing the rounds - anserverbot and bgserv have both been identified in four separate downloads. It's looking like it's not Mudlord that's been infecting the downloads (though not beyond the realms of...

    Android Full Speed NDS Emulator Coming to Android!!!

    Just been discussing this on IRC - looks at first glance that the mudlord release does indeed contain malware. Buyer beware, indeed :-p

    Homebrew Cannonball an OutRun engine

    This might not be as good as it should be - after all, we can emulate the arcade game well enough on systems way less powerful than the Wii! However, the code (even though re-engineered from the original arcade games) is very, very slow - the platform I run it on has a 950MHZ CPU with a 110MHz...

    North Korea vow to nuke US

    In response to the water contamination question, I present you with a small article from XKCD about how water protects against radiation: http://what-if.xkcd.com/29/ Basically, you'll get a few square inches of radiation, then nothing... given the rather small quantity of radioactive...

    GCW Zero vs. PSP, Running SNES Star Fox

    Yeah, it's expensive - but then it's a hell of a lot more than a handheld gaming rig. I was lucky and got mine from the first round of preorders in 2008, when it was just a couple of hundred quid and therefore not much more expensive than an NDSL. (Well, about 80 quid more). The GCWzero should...

    GCW Zero vs. PSP, Running SNES Star Fox

    OpenPandora, of course. They're readily available now and come in both 1GHz and 600MHz flavours - mine is the 600MHz (200 quid) version and has yet to fail running anything I throw at it - PSX, N64, MAME, Amiga, GBA, Final Burn Advance (including SFIII) etc. With the NDS emulator on the way...

    GCW Zero vs. PSP, Running SNES Star Fox

    This is interesting - I've been playing Starfox and Yoshi's Island on a handheld for nearly two years now. Why is this such a big deal? D.

    [Rumor] Assassin's Creed III's Character Art Revealed?

    I think it would have been very interesting indeed if the story for AC:3 had been set slightly after the war - with possibilities for intrigue and the politics of keeping a fledgling nation independent, rather than just going for shenanigans related to the war itself, which is a bit of a...

    [Rumor] Assassin's Creed III's Character Art Revealed?

    Well, according to my sources that particular flag came about at least a year after the fracas, so AC:3 can't be set during the war, surely? I'm British - I'm sure you can work that one out :-) D.

    [Rumor] Assassin's Creed III's Character Art Revealed?

    Not saying that this won't be set in the American war of disobedience, but has anyone noticed that the flag shown isn't an american flag? Anyone care to speculate on the significance of that? Edit: Looks from that flag that we've got the date slightly wrong! D.

    English. English. English.

    There's a very good reason that American spellings differ from the British - and an obvious reason when you consider the net effect of basically dropping vowels that seem pointless... But being British myself, I suspect that I'd get clobbered by the American contingent on this board if I...

    GBAtemp 2011 Tutorial Competition Results!

    As far as the Pandora goes, I suspect that the lack of activity is down to a couple of reasons; firstly, there's less than 3,000 of them out there (probably half that number) and secondly the folks that have them are more than adequately served for info and tutorials - if such are needed - by...

    Sony Constantly Hacked, Reasons?

    It's an unfortunate consequence - how else could this be done (assuming that the reasons are purely for revenge against Sony for a lifetime of abuse) without hurting the customers? Sony have ensured that everyone must be connected to Sony/PSN to get the most out of their system. This basically...

    Sony Constantly Hacked, Reasons?

    Seems interesting that people attribute this to revenge for Geohot's court case - the history of Sony treating its customers like dog-dirt goes way back. Remember when Sony deliberately and with malice aforethought infected people's PCs with a rootkit malware that in some cases actually...

    Homebrew Bounty 2011

    Yeah, but there's no real point in entering with the GBA emulator for the DSi - looks like a foregone conclusion! D.

    Any more competitions coming up? Looks like this one is pretty much over, which is a shame. D.
