The decline in number of pirates during the last two centuries conclusively improved the safety, and thus the commercial feasibility, of maritime traffic.
International sea trade, particularly container traffic, made it possible to cover the high demand of low-cost goods of the Western society through cheap production in third-world and developing countries that provide sufficient human resources and have effectively no government-enacted environment protection regulation, nor could afford one.
This kind of production is, to date, one of the main sources of pollution, unfiltered exhaust and, thus, global warming.
Correlation implies causation.
Henderson was wrong.
Creationism is right.

We're all going to hell.

Logical Operand, your replies aren't contributing anything. Cut it down.

As far as graphics are concerned, I think it's fairly safe to assume that they mainly evolved at such a rate because a purely technical edge over another game/platform was considered (rightfully) a more surefire way to ensure a game's sales, not to mention strategical "coevolution" partnerships with the relevant hardware industry. In the end, measurable polygon fill rates or some demonstratable graphical effect are a much easier means both for the developing corporations to market their games to the players and the lower-age/education gamers to show off to their peers (something that I think to be an important propellant for game marketing in that target group) than some ill-definable, hardly observable at a glance, subjective quality like gameplay or plot, or an underappreciated one like good music.

I'm still rather apathetic about the IPv6 standard. While the necessity of a larger address space is obvious, 16 bytes are more than overkill and contribute to both unnecessary bulk in the IP header, significantly slowing down communication especially for small packets, and the resulting address strings being all but easy to memorize. With just 6 or 8 bytes (which, for instance, at least in the 6 byte case, could be packed into nearly alphanumeric 8-character string addresses), they could have easily covered any number of computers that humanity will manage to connect to the internet before it's either banned by right-wing and/or totalitarian governments or humanity nukes itself back into the 10th century.

You did several things wrong here.

- posting a thread with a title in all-caps.
- posting a thread with a title using AOL speak ("any 1")
- making a post with bad grammar and AOL speak
- effectively using a barely related piece of information as a thin disguise for a request for somebody to hack a game for you
- posting the whole thing in a forum section not even remotely connected to the subject

Obviously, I'll close this thread (and trash it as soon as I can be sure that you properly read this list).

What would render us "white nerds" not qualified to do so? It's not like we don't have functional ears. Besides, not that I know that "mc frontalot" guy, but you seem to be leaping to a whole bunch of conclusions there.

On that matter, Spatula sounds like a plan.

So that's what the "Dendy" thing is... I remember seeing one a few years ago, when we were visiting an old university friend of my father's in St. Petersburg, in possession of his elementary-schooler son, and wondering about its hardware (since it ran what appeared to be NES games but did not have any Nintendo branding).

The two points you've listed so far would give you a decent overview of the north, but there's more to see. In particular, places I'd recommend you visit if your itinerary allows you to are
- Biarritz/Bayonne (France's southwestern corner)/San Sebastián (Spain's northeast, next to it)
- Vienna
- Rome (though I've never been there myself, it's supposed to be highly interesting, one of the cradles of western civilization etc.)
- Amsterdam
- Helsinki, and the landscape around it
(- Berlin if you want to pay me a visit, but it's in a lower league than the above-mentioned in terms of "interestingness" as a city)
Also, the alps (the Austrian ones if you prefer people to speak something that can be considered English if you have an open mind, otherwise the French bit of them) as a more vaguely defined target are definitively worth dropping by.

blackhole89: I hope that you got the chance to play the Dendy.

Yes, I did, though it wasn't for overly long since we were just dropping by (and had other things to do anyway).
Also, I think making better vertical and proper corner brick pieces might be a good start for improving the game's visuals.

I can't make a clear decision between Terranigma and Secret of Mana, though I'm leaning towards the former because I have a natural bias towards SoM as the first RPG (and overall second video game) I ever played.

Honorable mentions, in no particular order, would go out to Yoshi's Island, SMRPG, Super Metroid, SD3, Chrono Trigger and Lufia 2.

I also get a feeling that we had a lot of these threads before... but whatever, it can't hurt...

It's unlikely a console as new as the Wii has been emulated yet, especially considering the technical difficulties the sluggish advances on the homebrewing front imply and the difficulties to get reasonable running speeds even when emulating older consoles such as the PS2 (though it might be the Wii has a more emulation-friendly hardware setup).

The FAQ states that links to ROMs or ROM sites may not be posted; this should make it obvious that you shouldn't ask for them either.

Total shullbit


Seriously though, Wii emulation is something that you probably won't see for a good ten years.

What interests me is why you declare something I say BS and proceed to make the same statement in the same paragraph...

knuck: As a matter of fact, Nintendo, with the whole Virtual Console thing, would have all motivation needed to crack down on the oldschool emulation scene again.

From looking at Wikipedia's description of the Wii's hardware, it might become emulatable given developers find ways to bypass whatever piracy protection/lockout measures were taken. I do however foresee a whole lot of problems with emulation of consoles that take up the "comparatively weak specialized parallel approach" - which will be the inevitable path to take for all vendors since improving individual clock speeds has pretty much reached a state of deadlock - of the Playstation series on consumer-grade electronics, since the emulation of hardware synchronization between multiple units in software comes at the price of an immense amount of overhead.

We don't even have working Gamecube emulation yet.

That's what he's basing it on.
We have working ps2 emulation.

Yeah, but the PS2 is 8 years old now - and I think it's not reasonable to expect the progress home computers make in the next 8 years to be anything like the progress they made in the past 8.

I tried Root Beer the other day; its taste most closely reminded me of those oversized bath salt tabs we used to have back in my elementary school days.

In unrelated news, you can now delete files you uploaded yourself from the uploader (admins can delete any file).

I'm surprised just how many people here give their votes to platformers while totally ignoring all the brilliant RPGs there were.

RPGs and the closely related action adventures are the pride and glory of the SNES platform.

Originally, there was a rule that went like "you can't vote one person in more than three different categories".

However, since it wasn't written in the voting thread this time, chances are the admins won't enforce it. Time will tell.

For a while, I actually thought I was the one to blame. Thing is, until two or so days back, the frequent presence of a person named "3rd Edition Rules " [sic] on the board - in particular the space after "Rules" - was, for some inexplicable reason, driving my aesthetics sense nuts. Then, finally, I decided to edit the nickname to remove the trailing space since it seemed to serve no purpose.

I had no idea that it was you all along.

edit: 
03:48:04> <blackhole89> it would appear that Legion - on Cirvante's account - was the one who renamed him originally
03:48:12> <blackhole89> entering "3rd Edition Rules Are Superior"
03:48:23> <blackhole89> which subsequently got cut off after the space after "Rules"

I've seen two people make 500 posts (in one of those hideous "count down from x, where x is a natural number > 1000" threads) within an hour and a half before. That really doesn't mean anything.

Myspace ruined the internet.

Yeah, the internet was all sunshine and daisies before myspace came along.

The fact remains that social networking sites are one of the many eternal septembers that have accumulated since the early days.

I, for my part, am one of those people who started coming to the internet so they could escape from those very people that are now flooding into it in masses, motivated by the possibility of uploading the latest cellphone pictures of themselves shirtless and drunk on their profiles.
Even if they don't come here themselves, they do bring their elementary school siblings who are susceptible to the fantasy of sticking it into Sonic's pixelated rear end a bit too much along.

Besides, what's so bad about melodramaticism? Just because life is a stale and uneventful POS that will eventually work out somehow no matter how much one would wish it not to, you don't have to represent it as such.
