No, I agree. Have you ever tried playing a Sega Genesis game on an HDTV?

Uh, there's your problem. I doubt HDTV manufacturers thought "We better take into consideration consoles from 12 years ago!"

[Ascended Mermaid]

See, if that was MY problem, I'D be the one losing money from people who still enjoy consoles from 12 years ago. Hell, even some PSX and PS2 games look like SHIT on an HDTV. No, they definitely SHOULD'VE took that into consideration. Screw HDTV and their screwhead manufacturers!

// It is kindof ironic though that my avatar is a bunch of jagged pixels. My avatar looks alot better when output to an SDTV.

// Does anyone have a copy of my Faxanadu face avatar? I lost it.

Dude, HD for the win on modern stuff. I've played PS3 on a SD tv, and it looks like ass. Its the same contrast as plugging a Genesis into a HD TV. Just snag a cheap SD TV from a pawn shop for all the old stuff, or better yet, a monitor with proper A/V outs.

[Ascended Mermaid]

Yet I have no problem with playing my 360 on SD. I'm personally not missing out in the least. You might be, if you didn't have an HDTV, but I'm not. Different strokes for different folks.

Secret of Mana's getting a cellphone remake.

I'd be more interested if they used the combat system from Sword of Mana. Perhaps someday, a hacker will make this dream come true.

// Of course, said hacker(s) will have to improve the weapon hit detection as well. The flail is kindof annoying as well.

[AllenSmithee]

I hate the text size, and that I miss the details.

But yeah, I'm with Justin, as far as having both goes. And it doesn't even mean "get" both because you no doubt already have an SD TV or nothing

I was actually only referring to HD things on HD TVs, actually

[Incog Neato]

>_>

Yeah, in an ideal world SD and HD would magically be optimized on a single TV set but THEY'RE NOT.

You know companies create these things for money and not for the consumer convenience!

Take like a man, people! Your magical TV will NEVER exist!

[Disgaeamad]

My magical TV has existed for years.

Only in my head, however.

[Justin]

I..... but....... are you...... fuck it, I give up

[AllenSmithee]

Heheh, at a loss for words, are we Justin?

[Incog Neato]

Dammit. Wish C&C3 download was available sources other than the stupid EA store ...

Oh fucking hell. The Deluxe Version is on sale for $9.95 US there.

Of course, it's not downloadable. UGH.

Oh joy. Only standard shipping is available.

For $6.99.

So if it goes to the black hole next door, I suppose I'll never know.

OR.

I can buy them separately, they'll be downloadable, and only cost $3.00 more. But only with one year of re-downloadable rights.

Guess I'll opt for snail mail.

[Incog Neato]

You know, I just had the weirdest experience.

I was calling a client and got the same (wrong) department TWICE.

I was staring at the numberpad when I was keying the numbers in and for some reason, wrongness still occurred! And the other people on the other end are no help and don't try to help when you explain what department you're trying to call.

It doesn't help that I don't know the exact department name though. ^^;

But still! Don't remain silent! Geez.

BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEZAAAAAAAARRRRRRR

[Yakra]

Soooo..... I finally took time out and caught up on the last few months' chapters of World Embryo, now that I could afford to aaaaaaaaand.....

The random thought of the day:

I think.... me life was far more easier when I did not have the means to shop online. Atleast back then, I looked, I fangirled, I wept at my sad situation for not having the means to acquire the object of me ravings, and after a few months got over it. With moneys intact. :'D

*shoots self*

Hem.

So.

Anyone knows of good reliable online bookstores? X'D One where one can pay through one's debit cards? One where one can find certain Australian releases of certain mangas? :''''''D No?

(Gwah~ I'm getting urges of 'must own Chrno Crusade!' again as well. )

Random thought 2: This is kind of like a dignified spam thread, ne? X'D One which has passed the tests of respectability due to receiving the wyrdwad stamp of approval.

[Incog Neato]

Yeah, this is like the publicly visible version of the Ssssssssssssssssssspam thread. But oddly enough, it's not as rampantly insane and random as that one. I guess we're cool like that and know what should stay behind closed doors. XD

If I get the sudden urge to sell my 7 volumes (or was it 8 volumes? ^^) of Chrno Crusade, I will tell thee. XD (I take it you want the English and not Japanese ones? I have both. :P)

Anyway~~~

I wonder if I should pre-order Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep?

I might just do a lalalalaalalalala JR lalalalalala of it first just to see how it's like.

It might not get enough love from me if there is no awesome Gummi Ship shooter though. :|

[Ashurei]

I have to admit, Birth by Sleep is a pretty tempting game. If only to play as Aqua instead of Sora/Roxas. ... oh, and those other two guys. Yeah! I was kinda hoping they'd tone down the Disney stuff, but I guess that was asking too much. It certainly looks darker, though! Which I am all for.



Youtube's been pissing me off lately. Videos keeping bugging out and freezing midplay, fubar'd without a refresh, and that doesn't even work sometimes. Grr.

[Mutagene]

Random thought of the moment: HOLY SHIT NINJA GAIDEN II IS HARD SOMETIMES. I'm on the chapter 4 boss and struggling. The bastard's cheaper than a French prostitute.

My KH-obsessed friend kept bugging me about Birth By Sleep. I doubt I'll check it out, but at least it looks semi-interesting.

EDIT: If anyone's bored... I sold out. ;-;

O____O

I hope get get overcome by these mad urges one day! X'D *sends subliminal messages to the nunuu that she MUST rid herself of her english copies!*

Which reminds me - ye know, I'm really truly grateful ye sold me your copy of World Embryo. Japanese though it may be. X'D Pretty Daisuke Moriyama arts~~~~~





Also. I haven't gotten round to touching Kindom Hearts ever since II. Even though I kind of really liked it loads. :| How many have I missed out on?

[sushi]

Everyone in the world should download Bad Dudes' Jingle all the Way album (a VGM remix project focusing on jingles).

Oh and it's FREE! xD

[Incog Neato]

Wow, just came across a goofy RPGamer post I made in an Arcturus thread. I was correcting someone on the spelling of Ys and filled it with emoticons to show that the post shouldn't be taken seriously!

But d00de comes back with a who cares? and text diarrhoea. I suppose the member felt offended somehow? :|

I think some people just need to chill sometimes (*says the person that freaks out all over the place about stupid shit like "Hello? Hello?? Hello??? Hello???? Hellooo????? Hello!?!?" "HANG UP THE FUCKING PHONE ALREADY, DIPSHIT!"*)

:V

There are many ways to tell someone something to the effect of "Thanks for the correction but you write your way and I write my way. End of story. :3" without going off on rants.

[AllenSmithee]

You spelled diarrhea wrong
