    Hidden Save Deleting

    " I refuse to believe there is any technological reason they can't keep track of at least two different Pokemon games on one cartridge." Using today's technology, it'd be no problem as long as Nintendo would be willing to add a USB slot. :) Using original Game Boy tech, it's still amazing...

    Final Fantasy VII Accidentally Re-released

    The PC midi sound files DO sound better than PS1. Or maybe some people have crappy soundcards. But when I was playing FF7PC in 1999, the only part where the sound suffered was the One Winged Angel part which didn't have the vocals mixed in with the music because midi doesn't support vocals. (But...

    Venture into Brittania with Ultima VII

    Yeah, but U7 was made at the pinnacle of his career, quite a bit before he jumped the shark.

    Sony Attempts to Block All Future PSN Class Action Lawsuits

    That's hilarious. Someone in Sony's legal department needs to be fired. Not only would this never hold up in court, period, but it's blatantly insulting. In future suits it could cause the court in question to smack Sony with worse fines than it otherwise would have.

    U mad bro racist?

    Okay, wait: I don't think Fox was the troll here. I think they were being trolled by person #2 in the following scenario: Person 1: What does that sign even mean? Person 2: I bet it's racist. Person 3: No wait, it's just an internet thing. Person 4: Did someone say racism? Person...

    283: Introducing The Escapist's Genre Wheel

    Problem is: Action-RPGs Link and Adol (Ys series) laugh at your wheel for their games encompass the entirety of it! Puny other-genres!

    Games for Windows FAIL

    Microsoft make many good products. They make many more horrifically doomed projects that are usually euthanized quickly, but this is just a side-effect of making such a sheer quantity of products. GFWL is a product that should have been put out of it's misery quickly and ONLY redone from scratch...

    Enslaved As It Should Have Been

    Okay, I don't have time to read the whole thread right now, so if someone else already mentioned this, kudos to you. THERE ALREADY WAS A JOURNEY TO THE WEST PLAYSTATION 1 GAME. It's called, appropriately, Saiyuki: Journey West. Other than you being able to pick the monk's gender (and...

    The Escapist Film Festival 2009: Adam and Devon play Doom

    The "kids" at the end are Commander Keen (clones? or whatever), the star of the very first several games id Software produced before Wolfenstein 3D. So it's an easter egg with a very Doom-like twist. If you've heard of the Dopefish (many, MANY easter eggs of the Dopefish throughout many First...

    Unskippable: Resident Evil 5

    I'm only disappointed in one thing: Every time someone said "BSAA" they should have said "Hey! The AA is not BS!"
