Have you tried VisualBoy Advance CE?

It's supposedly built better than the normal versions.
(and runs some games faster, from what I've heard)

And under that.

Usage Note: The words ironic, irony, and ironically are sometimes used of events and circumstances that might better be described as simply

LttP, was somewhat hard?
Guess I've played that game too much, I usually go through it without dying. OoT in my opinion was actually harder, it was more frustrating with levels like the Water Temple, and so on.

Games really have gotten much easier though over the past years. Simply look back to games like Battletoads, Gradius, Thunderforce, Strider, and plenty of other games that would actually "kick your ass".

And I don't think Ninja Gaiden cuts it. That game really wasn't all that hard in my opinion, it just required skill, you had to "try". I even beat the game on Hard and that was still nothing compared to the level of difficulty of games in the past.

As for strategy guides, I'm one who thinks they "take away from the game", so it would be rare to see me using one. Example, I bought the Final Fantasy IX strategy guide when I was on the 4th disc of the game. I only bought it to get all of the cards, and to basically find everything that I may have missed at the end of the game.

I'm somebody that also thinks games these days are "too short", but Emptyeye brings up a good point. I think the main thing is, is that games nowadays don't have the replay value that they had 10 years ago. Games for the NES, and SNES, you probably played over, and over again because it never got old (at least I did?), but games these days seem to either be a one time play through, or maybe just twice. Thus, we think they have less value when it comes to length.

All in all I really don't know what else to say other than "Yes, I think games are a lot easier than compared to what they used to be".

For Mario I'd very much prefer 2D.

Of course, that's not saying Mario 64 was anything bad.

*long dramatic voice* Oh my god, no.

The THX Digitally Remastering is all that should have been done to the original Trilogy. Other than that, I hated most of the added parts, minus the conversation with Han and Jabba in IV, and the victory scenes at multiple planets at the end of VI.

Other than that, I think the newly added material took away from the original films. That new song in the beginning of VI, with those annoying dancing CG characters? Annoying as hell.

I just got back from seeing it the 5th time today.

Finally, it took 5 times to finally see it without annoying people in the theater.

I also went to a different theater, than when I saw it the past 4 times, and this theater had an incredible surround sound system that really added to the movie.

Yeah, if you haven't seen this movie in a fancy theater with good surround sound yet, I'd recommend you do.

In other words, you're wrong. All that simply means is that if that MySQL fetch doesn't work, it'll spit out an MySQL error in it's place.

I take it you haven't really looked into the AB code then? Because it's in a lot of places.

Besides that, I'm unsure what's wrong with this, like I told you over aim TGWD.

Alright, I think we need to be more specific.

As for "damage" wise, and things like that, yeah OoT was a piece of cake. What I meant when I said it was frustrating, was basically that some of the puzzles (a la Water Palace) were hard to figure out at first.

Other than that, the actual fighting in that game was never really challenging at all.

So, are we meaning like "hard" as in dying here?

Emptyeye: That games not that bad, at least you didn't say Super Ghouls n' Ghosts. I've seen way too many people say that's a hard game, truthfully it's pretty easy in my opinion. Ghouls and Ghosts for the Genesis on the other hand ...

See, those were the days when Wrestling was cool.

Nowadays you don't see any "Groups" around anymore (last I checked, can't say I watch it reguarly, or have for years).

NWO, and DX, man I loved them both.

PS: Don't forget how you had to join DX, you had to moon the group (China? Yikes).

I've seen most of the GDC video, and I'm liking it so far.

It's like EVO had sex with Civilization.

I really like the scale of the game, the ability to completely zoom out of planets and zoom back into them in complete real time just seems great.

Ah, that makes more sense.

I'd say, why not?

So, I'm with Legion here. Seems like it would be a good idea, with activity as it has been lately this might just tip it even further.
