I don't know, but I laughed my rectum off at it.

It could be done with something similar to the PSP's UMD cartridges. Personally, I was hoping for a flash chip mounted in the UMD shell to avoid the need for an external save media. And the SNES coprocessors were a bandaid. The SNES' CPU was massively underpowered for the tasks it was asked to do, resulting in slowdown and/or restricted gameplay concepts without additional horsepower. The Genesis didn't use coprocessors because it's CPU was powerful enough that it didn't need them. The notable exception to this rule is Virtua Racing. Like FEAR? I've heard it's possible to make even the highest-end setup currently available grind to a halt with that one. I don't have release counts handy, but if the library size IS declining, it's due to the massive jumps in development costs in recent years. ... That actually puts the Revolution in a stronger position. It's been designed as simple hardware to code for, while the XBox 360.and PS3(especially the PS3) are nightmarish monsters because of their processor setups.

Locked threads. She delivers the touch of death. ... Of course, that'd be too in-jokey.

Probably 5 years again. That's been the rule for the NES era, the SNES/Genesis Era, the PS1 era, and the PS2 era. We've done modular. It's even more frustrating. Partially because cheap upgrades don't happen. SegaCD? 300 at launch, with limited support. 32x? 200 at launch, with no support. Most signifigantly, as it's the most fully-realized modular system, the IBM PC. A gaming-grade computer will likely require a 200$ upgrade every year or 2. Once the system becomes easily upgradable, game developers quit optimizing the software and just start requiring upgrades. Doom 3 is a rarity in that it was optimized, and WOULD run decently on something besides the last year's worth of hardware.

Yep, yer right. So instead of adding a stupid ghost, why not just put the "GO TO LAST UNREAD POST" link inside the KITE/SKULL ROUNDEL and not create an all new column just for that? You can have the added feature without adding a column. It is really hosing my PDA. 386701[/snapback] No one created a new anything. They just replaced the old icon with a taller one. Moving it into the skull would require a lot of hacking of the board template.

Can the board use PNGs? Or are we avoiding those because MS STILL hasn't fixed IE's PNG support.

I don't care. As long as it does something, and looks cool doing it.

You just clicked the button to go to the first post you haven't read. Real good extra. 386354[/snapback] That's what the "LAST POST BY:" hyperlink is for. Minmei's wraith is now not only obnoxious but redundant as well. 386486[/snapback] Are you sure? "Last post by"shonld, logically, take you to the last post. Last unread post takes you to the last post you haven't seen before. There's a signifigant diffrence.

Too bad Max decided to do it by putting the gun on his Valk backwards instead...

While amusing, the green for locked threads would be confusing. I'm still seeing a generic IPB folder icon or 2(the "Which Console Pt. 2" thread has one, for a quick example). Does anyone know what those are actually tied to?

As an interesting sidenote... Lion Force Voltron is 20 episodes longer than Golion. World Event Productions actually comissioned the animation of new episodes since it was so popular.

But I DON'T like the kites. They look like flame-wraiths of Minmei... 385881[/snapback] *laughs*

NINTENDO SIXTY-FOUR REMOTE-CONTROL CAR!

! I must have this.

Could keep them both. Add a second video card for the old screen, or upgrade to a dual-head card. ... But that's just a TAD overkill, I guess... Totally unrelated, but... you have the original image for your avatar? Me like pic. 385609[/snapback] Yeah, I did,, I hooked both of them up for a while for testing... the 2005PFW was alot brighter than the 2001FP and it looks pretty small too. I didn't take any pics at the time. Similar to what I did with 20" LCD awhile back.. Yes it was overkill so now I only have one,, and dual display it to my TV from time to time when needed. ah,.. my desk was so clean back then,.. not like the mess it's in now. Mmmm... I don't really have space for multiple monitors(or a spare monitor to play with). Be nice to have in the future, though. WOOT! Thanks!

I still like the Animeigo art.

Amusing incompetence on the part of Sega's arcade division... "Metal Slug 6, on Sega’s AW Hardware System, is the 7th installment of the comical and combat-filled Metal Slug series, but the first to land on any arcade platform." I'm sure SNK will be glad to know that their long-running series has finally made it into the arcades, a full decade after they put it there. The press release can be found here.

Some of the old problems have alomst gone away. Like ghosting. But they've been replaced by newer problems, like color artifacting. And other older problems are still around, like piss-poor resampling of non-native images. Read reviews. From reputable places, not "customer reviews" from web stores. Find the models you're looking at on computer review sites. The more info they have, the better. Tom's Hardware seems to do very thorough LCD reviews. http://www.tomshardware.com/graphics/index.html Not really. If you can talk a clerk into letting you play with it, you can feed them a few movies and play a few games, but ultimately a store display is the absolute WORST place to judge any form of screen, be it CRT, LCD, DLP, VGA, DTV, etc. Optimally, getting one home and just using it for a while would tell you if it was what you wanted. But stores tend to be frown on previews. Actually, in my experience, they frown on any return for any reason, up to and including "It's completely and utterly broken"(they tried to charge us a restocking fee on an exchange of a broken device once).

I reet warez'ed 'em. Really should legalize 'em nwo that it's an option.

HAHAHA! I think it DOES say all that needs saying.

If I'm not mistaken, backlight bleeding = the light oozes through, making blacks appear gray. All lit LCDs do it to some degree or another, making "true black" an impossible achievement(though most get "close enough" and some get very very very close). Games that don't support widescreen mode will fill the entire panel and look stretched out. Everything will be a little fat. Doesn't bug some people, but it drives me crazy.

I always thought "the S word" was shrothand for "don't be stupid." But then, we never DID ban MGREXX...

Even Solid Snake: Pro Skater? I need to pick Substance up JUST for that. Subsistence brings Metal Gear 1 and 2 to the US legally. The MSX versions not the watered-down NES port and half-assed adaptation.

All I want to see is Harrison Ford going "Snakes... why did it have to be snakes?"
