All Nintendo did was take down the link on the project's official download page. The game is still easily available through bittorrents, which the creators set up at the same time they officially released the game because they KNEW Nintendo would do this, they just didn't know how quickly. If...

It hasn't aged well. In my opinion, most NES games haven't aged well, even the "classics". Metroid is probably worse than average though because the open and labyrinthine nature of Metroid games really suffers without a map or detailed environments. To be honest it's a little surprising to me...

I think I might be a crazy person because I actually think the ability to grind/farm souls indefinitely was a fundamental flaw with the first game. But when I made a thread bringing this issue up every single poster told me I was wrong, so I guess I'm wrong. However I do find the discussion...

I disable most non-essential UI features. For instance, if an FPS has iron-sights I disable cross-hairs so that I have to use them. Minimap? Gone. The indicator above enemies heads showing their 'alertness'? Gone. You can tell from their behavior. The grenade indicator? Gone. It's not like...

Pants don't conform to the butt like that. If you look to the top results of a google image-search for "reality" I'm a little concerned about you.

This looks like something designed for aesthetic simplicity and purity over actual comfort and usability. I can't imagine the designers of the Gamecube controller approving this. I know Nintendo has a negative reputation for pushing innovation for innovation's sake, but their ideas have always...

Yes, that's how for-profit businesses work. Or did you think businesses willingly forgo potential revenue out of generosity? Keep in mind I'm not defending UWP, but Microsoft's issue is clumsiness, not evil. Thanks for injecting a little reality and nuance into the Microsoft-hate circle-jerk.

You're worried he's going to "dumb down" Half Life and Portal? Like this is high art he's dealing with? If these movies are even comparable to the worst film he's directed (Mission Impossible 3, 70% on RT), they'd be the best video-game adaptations to date. Look, I'm a big Valve fan, and I...

Because his movies do well. You might hate them, but that doesn't mean everyone does.

It's so funny to read threads like this. I COULDN'T WAIT to upgrade to windows 10 and here are people panicking like it's the end of the world that they might accidentally be upgraded to a slightly better OS. Anyway, this only happens if you previously reserved an upgrade. Microsoft isn't...

What is the context here? Are we talking about government surveillance? I'm theoretically okay with the government knowing about me as long as the info is secure, and the people who have access aren't people with any direct connections to me and are bound by the law to not misuse it...

Are you being serious? I genuinely can't tell. They like making money, which is why they won't do something stupid like that which would hurt the popularity of the series and brand. Episode VII was a restart of a series that had been in stasis for over 30 years with enormous nostalgia, which...

How about they just do a better job matching people of equal skill, so that people like me who are new to the game aren't regularly encountering people with vastly better decks and strategies even while both being on level 20. That seems like a better idea than all this card limitation mumbo...

A paper towel would be better for cleaning up piss, but bread, specifically soft white bread, is one of the few things that can effectively pick up tiny glass particles embedded in your carpet. And no, I don't eat shards of glass, because the ER is kinda expensive.

You can use it to clean up shattered glass. I found this out when I smashed a mirror in my room and searched online for ways to get all the glass particles too small to pick up with a broom.
