Did golden light pour out of the box when you opened it?

“We happy?”

“We happy.”

Going from too little to too much, and at the same time making another Cyberpunk.

Duke Nukem makes sense. Half-Life does not. Half-Life stars a nerdy scientist who just wants to live, and the game is carried by its story.

Pong, reimagined as a boomer shooter!

Imagine taking an old phone out of the junk drawer and suddenly having another Steam Deck.

Even really old smartphones would work as a portable retro console.

keeps going back to Minecraft and Mario Kart 64, because superior games

I was not aware of any of those problems. And I played the Mac version. When I had an Xbox, I spent a lot of time looking at textures up close cause the quality was amazing to me. Once I played it on the Mac I instantly noticed how much cleaner and sharper everything was.

It was released during the PowerPC era, and the internet says it works on Intel Mac through Rosetta emulation. That might result in the graphical issues you mentioned. Having to run through Rosetta means Microsoft (or Macport) never issued a patch for native Intel compatibility.

I was wrong about it being Mac exclusive. I though the Windows PC version was a straight port from Xbox, but it’s the same “enhanced” version of the game that Macs got.

Apple had a handshake deal with Bungie, until Microsoft bought Bungie and made the Mac exclusive an Xbox exclusive.

It came full circle when Halo CE SE was released as a Mac exclusive on Mac & PC. And it is arguably the best version of the original game on any platform (higher resolution textures without a complete remake, exclusive multiplayer weapons, etc.).

I’ll just take regular shoes in those colors, please.

I can hear that bridge just looking at that picture.

Everyone forgets how big that sucker really is.

And how it was a blatant copy of the Dreamcast controller.

If by walk you mean it suffered from polio…

Urge to watch Red vs Blue again.

she pinned an elite into a wall with a Banshee and fired on them for a solid minute

In the original Halo on Xbox, I found out that if you keep meleeing a dead elite, the blood splatter keeps getting reapplied to the ground around it, and the existing splatter never despawns. Do this for a minute and you can bring the frame rate of the game down to a single-digit-number.

To the game’s credit, it doesn’t crash or stop responding, it just keeps skipping frames to make up for the excessive graphics processor use. And if you turn away from the blood, the frame rate returns to normal. But your “paint job” remains in memory as long as you are on that level. As soon as you look at it again, the frame rate drops again.

You’re right. What they meant to say is that it’s a snapshot of the world before many overarching things changed at roughly the same time.

Eneloop.

It would have to have something like a VR mode.

Or the ENTIRE planet of Nirn that you can walk from one side of to the other.

Max: “Check out my new weapon, weapon of choice.”

Microsoft.

Let’s give DC to the company turning the most widespread OS into AI spyware.

Japan has one of the longest average lifespans in the world. If their artists are clocking out in their 50s, they are literally being worked to DEATH!

The question is what’s a Big Bertha doing in a ghost house?

Shepard.

A new DidYouKnowGaming video is imminent.

Do.

Not.

Preorder!

For some reason there is a disproportionate love for the tutorial world on Xbox 360. I guess a lot of the current generation of players got their start there.

I’m old. I started playing in alpha. We didn’t even have a food bar.

I love this guy.

Nintendo watching a company they’re trying to sue out of existence expand into another category they don’t own:

“ZZZT!” - Will Wright

Japan is a treasure trove of PC98 games and software of which the only surviving copy might be rotting in a pawn shop right now.

Their spellchecker saw Fortnite and said, “Nay nay!”

“Yabba Dabba Doo!”

got bored of it pretty quickly.

This is why I’m waiting for the AMOLED Switch 2 or whatever the .5 console is. By then, all the evergreen games like Mario Kart World will be totally fleshed out. I bought a Switch after Mario Kart 8 had all the DLC and updates.

Is Waluigi about to kill an endangered Yoshi?

Born just in time to finance horse armor.

“Click here to finance your addiction.”

HOW IS THIS LEGAL?!

Fuck those things.

Fuck.

Those.

Things!

“Did you get all that?”

[Yes.]
[No.]◃

I still think Kart 64 is one of the best of the series, but I don’t get the prejudice against ghosts. :)

Nintendo: “Well, it’s obviously not our rushed production schedule or choosing to use cheaper parts… I wonder what it could be.”

Reminds me how you can effectively nullify all the secret agents in Evil Genius by building dozens of huts outside with locked doors that lead to dead end hallways rigged with pop-up dummies.

The fact that there’s a locked door entices them to waste time cracking it open. Once inside, they get jumped by a dummy and shoot it then become confused because it’s not real. Eventually they get so confused they leave the hut. They the AI’s pathfinding sees the same damn door which has locked itself again. Wash, rinse repeat.

Sometimes they get mad and start shooting the traps until they explode, which injures them and convinces them to just go home. Once they leave, rebuild the damaged hut and wait for the next secret agent.
