And 640k ought to be enough for anybody? Speeding things up is a good thing. It offers opportunities for web developers to create web applications that simply aren't possible today. Firefox is working on implementing JavaScript speed improvements using technology similar to what Google Chrome...

I'm really, really hoping that someone at Google Legal just copy-pasted the standard web services Terms and Conditions and that they're going to be posting a new version that makes sense for a web browser any time now. Really, really, hoping. If you read through the EULA, the entire thing...

I am honestly convinced that the gameplay sections are designed as punishment for players between cutscene segments. But then the cutscenes are so punishingly long (why oh why do we have to watch Sunny make eggs every single freaking time?! I don't care!) that I'm convinced that the cutscenes...

Just to clear things up: His accent is British. (Or, more accurately, his dialect is British. Freaking pedantic linguists.) Don't ask me where, specifically, I dunno. He currently lives in Australia.

Well, until the final third. Then there are random encounters when switching areas. Complete with an obnoxious cutscene that never changes before and after the random encounter. I found that it's far more effective to just concentrate on the bottom screen if you've been over-evolving your...

Yes, I have. How is it not a JRPG? How would he like it? It's not turn-based, but instead it has a truly obnoxious "dual screen" combat thingy, XP grinding, some weird "pin evolution" thing that they never bothered to explain. (Well, beyond "balance the three types of PP!" without offering...

Did Yahtzee seriously suggest that Doom had no "find the keycard" sections?! Because, uh, I seem to recall it having keycards [http://doom.wikia.com/wiki/Keys]. As for the people suggestion Yahtzee review The World Ends With You, why would you want to do that to him? What has he ever done to...

Given how terrible the port is, they might be glad. Celestial Brush, Wiimote, what could go wrong, right? Everything. They gestures were originally designed to be done on the Dual Shock. The Dual Shock made things like drawing circles (rotate the stick) and drawing lines (left-to-right)...

Smash Bros. single player modes have never been its strong suite. It's meant to be played like a party game, and in that setting, randomness can be fun. Randomness in the single player modes is extremely lame and something the developers really should know better. Randomly dieing because a...

In single player games that force me to provide a name for the main character with no default, I just borrow Snow Crash [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_Crash]'s main character's name: Hiro Protagonist. On mutliplayer games I usually try and grab the same handle I'm using here. I also...

He isn't, but Phoenix Wright is. It's explained in the first case in Apollo Justice. I don't think Phoenix Wright is underappreciated. It may not be well known, but most of the people who know it like it. That being said, it's not without fault. It's linear to a somewhat annoying degree...

Don't get me wrong, I agree that JavaScript is a very nice scripting language saddled by some very stupid API decisions. I freaking hate the W3C DOM, although that's not JavaScript's fault. Some of the newer JavaScript things like XMLHttpRequest are actually really kind of cool and would be...

Quicky Crisis Core rev Modulating Phase 7 2 7! iew: the story is completely incomprehensible unle Modulating Phase 1 4 1! ss you've played Final Fantasy VII, and the co Modulating Phase 3 3 3! Power Surge! mbat keeps on getting interrupted by the stupid DMW. Even if it...

Not quite. JavaScript does support something similar to normal OO style, but it's actually prototype based and it takes a bit of getting used to. It's closer to Lisp than Java. And no, all members are public unless you're doing something really evil with closures. Which, while it works, isn't...

Zero Suit Samus isn't locked, per se. (Is she?) She's just secret, sort of like how to start as Sheik instead of Zelda. There are apparently three ways to trigger Zero Suit Samus: 1. Use Samus's Final Smash. 2. Hold down any Shield button while advancing to the next screen (not while...
