Merged topics.

Either Super Mario Bros or Tetris, I’m not sure. We got the set with the multicart that also has that one Soccer game (because of course).
I distinctively remember my parents and me playing SMB in the evening of getting it though, and not reading the manual (well, I couldn’t read at the time), resulting in nobody knowing what the B button does.…[Read more]

I disagree. It is not that complex. If you, for example, make a video of yourself riding a rollercoaster or driving a car along a racetrack in real life nobody would even think about paying the manufacturer or track operator a share, let alone let them have all the revenue. Sure, a video of that isn’t the same as driving yourself, but that is…[Read more]

There is no legal reason for them to not be able to monetize on LPs.

Objection! This might very well be a frivolous claim by Nintendo, or at least something that would not hold up in court. Sadly they have infinitely more money and time than the other side, so that’s probably not going to happen. Just because Google is playing along doesn’t mean…[Read more]

I don’t think it could be micro-transactions either. Games already have paid DLC,even in Wii’s case with games like rock band

Oh, you can buy like one track for 99 cent in the Wii version? Dammit, there goes that theory then I guess. What do they want with Origin then?

Eh. I’m not watching ads but I sometimes send people money via Paypal. Ad revenue on those short videos isn’t great, so actually giving a few cent per view from my own pocket instead of suffering through some loud, obnoxious ad is totally feasible. I can understand how people hate ads.
That said, yeah, some of these comments are unacceptable and…[Read more]

About this Origin thing, I’m not even sure what’s happening there, and we might never get a clear answer. But let’s see…
I doubt that EA seriously thought that they can get Origin fully running (with their own store) on a closed platform they don’t own. Maybe they believe that they can somehow get Nintendo to agree to accept their terms if they…[Read more]

That’s one scary boat. I hope Nintendo will go back on this whole ad revenue thing before the HD remake comes out.

Probably Christmas maybe?

Nintendo won’t have to stop making hardware, or even just home consoles for a long time, and I don’t see them deciding to despite their mountains of cash. Console launches have been like this since at least two generations. Remember how the PS3 started out and stayed for years? Well, Sony didn’t enter a pissing contest with EA, but that’s another…[Read more]

Updated, with the more oldschool one.

A fan that can’t run at full speed without breaking is a shitty fan. Also, keep your system as cool as possible. If your GPU breaks because you go over its temperature limit (not sure what that is for your card), a slightly less worn out fan won’t bring you any joy.

Are you on a university network or something else with a more draconian firewall? What do you see when you go to this site?

I feel like this “If you would like to join Spoiler Chat (Remember, it’s open to Shadow Chatters as well), replace the #ffstv with #spoilers on the chat login screen in the channel section.” should be displayed somewhere by the login to chat.

I’ll replace the text input field with something better soon, so it will be apparent.

Also, if you…[Read more]
