LTTP as a 3D polygon game would have to look a very precise way for it to feel right. I'm not saying what that look is or that I know, but when something is sprite based and 2D, changing it is dangerous old-man territory. I'd very much like to see it remain a 2D game, even if they changed how things look.

Metroid Zero mission is a remake of Metroid. A Link to the Past on the GBA is a port. A 3DS remake of LTTP would be colossal. Also I have a strong bias at play with this decision.

The interface is the thing that hurts this game for me. Visuals I don't care; the tilesets people have made are charming enough. Another issue with the game is that it doesn't support multi-cores. Toady supposedly brought someone on board to help make the game support that, and after a month they gave up.

This is now the saddest discussion topic. :

True story: When I was looking for roomies when moving to Portland, OR (which was a brief few months) I stumbled on a Craigslist entry that mentioned bonus points for knowing what Dwarf Fortress was. My email to the guys was a story about one of my forts dying to carp killing everyone and the dwarves getting depressed and having various tantrums / suicides, the latter including one infant. And then they disregarded all other applicants and I moved in with those guys.

elmuerte, do you need someone to talk to? We're here for you.

Don't MS operating systems generally alternate between being good and bad? 2000 good, ME bad, XP good, Vista bad, 7 good, 8 bad... Using this brilliant line of deduction, I say "Wait to get the game on the next OS." You'll probably get it in a $5 Steam sale or something too.

Nobody should ever invoke that film ever again. Barfing everywhere.

Yeah, I do. The only games in the series I haven't played are Twilight Princess and Minish Cap, oh, and Four Swords. But I'm confident I'll like them over MM. Something about that game just didn't sit right with me at all. And no, I didn't finish it. But it takes a lot for me to power through something I'm not enjoying.

Listening to Jaffe on Bomb Cast. I'm gonna have to listen again so I make sure I'm digesting his point(s) right.

Holy smokes was that well done. Good thing MM is my least favorite in the series so that I'm not left yearning.

Elsewhere on the net we've been saying this game is like a child of Deus Ex + GTA. Which more than fine with me. I haven't been this excited for a game in a while.

That 3DS thing Nintendo did was odd. A lot of things we already knew about. That's actually like the theme this E3. "You read about this, here it is again!"

Oh, because goombas never have their heads caved in. Nobody ever thinks of the little guys!

The first benefactee of the Idle Thumbs Work Placement Program! Congrats!

Data, it's polite.

For all the talk Sony has been doing lately - especially to investors about how the Vita is the company's saving grace - they sure didn't make a strong case for the Vita. And considering Nintendo is apparently focusing on the 3DS tomorrow Sony may have just handed them that market. Tomorrow morning is going to be brutal.

I've been passing on watching anything live this year, but I have been watching responses in real time across the net. And while Ubisoft apparently had the single most obnoxious thing within their conference I'm under the impression that, overall, it was positive for people. Especially that new game they revealed. Everywhere I was looking went apeshit for it. Good on Ubi, since the last few years have been odd. Not bad, just odd. I don't begrudge MS for their conference's focus, since this show is more mass-appeal / general audience / business driven these last few years. The show floor still exists so game stuffs will come from there rather than be a focal point on a stage. Frustrating for being different, yeah, but video games still exist! That said, don't get me wrong - nothing terribly exciting from MS. I just don't feel like they're killing people's dogs and families, as the net so implies.

Is this the thread for stuff like this?

I sorta am! Those are good ideas. Also I just remembered I have Afterlife. I can totally play that too.

Part of what I'm looking for in games at the moment is nothing twitch based. Or things that are flat out turn based, so I have time to do what I need. Like even Full Throttle has time sensitive actions that would just frustrate me.

My right hand, the one I use for everything. So far, I can play like Myst and Dungeons of Dredmor with my off-hand-only. And it's fine if people laugh. I mean, it was truly some Home Alone shenanigans.

My mother mopped and slipped on the tiles, screaming. It woke me up and I came running to help her, not knowing the floor was wet, and took a dive of my own.

Guys I broke my wrist. Why am I posting it here? Cause I now have the idlest of thumbs. Suck it and my one-hand posting!

Does anyone watch / care for TAS videos? Tool-Assisted Speedruns, that is. I get why people wouldn't like them but they either allow you to see the deconstruction of a game's mechanics / rules, or stupid shit like this:
