Thank you, and thank you for answering my silly questions! I'm absolutely thrilled I'll be playing a Nintendo device soon!

Sweet! Buying this suckah! EDIT: Bought! Along with Mario Land 3D and Mario Kart, for starters! Thanks for the answers, guys! Just looked over the list if available VC games.. I'm going to love this so much. Kirkbys, Wario Lands, Link's Awakening. So much amazing stuff, despite missing out on the Ambassador stuff. The thing comes with a 4gb card. If I later decide to get a bigger card, is it easy enough to transfer my eShop stuff over?

You're right! I'm dying to play some Mario again.. It's been too long. Link's Awakening, that's available to everyone though, right?

D: What?! Seriously, I might not buy one after all then.. None of the GBA games are available? That's pretty shit. Couldn't ambassador status just have gotten you guys the games for free, instead of never selling them ever again..

Alright, fuck it. Yoshi's Island. Insta-buy! They can just go through the SNES catalogue via the GBA remakes. How's the friend system stuff, is it still awful or have they updated it somehow with firmware? I'll probably feel like a jerk soon when they announce 3DS Enhance Lite or something.. Oh, last question. Anyone buy the XL version? Should I get that instead?

Considering buying a 3DS, what are the must-play games so far? Also.. are there seriously no SNES games on the 3DS virtual console?? Would've thought the Wii and 3DS virtual console would be identical.. Or close to, at least.

Even though it was 3D it still looked a bit flat-ish, and even had choppy animation like pixel art. It looked great!

Heh, I wish it were anything special. It's just a fixed size hard circle, with opacity insead of size set to pen pressure.

I've started contributing to a community project called AlphaBots. A robot for each letter of the alphabet. Here're my first two, and my theme is Video Game Robots. A for Atlas from Portal 2 B for Big Robot Bil from The Neverhood

Haha, sweet! Are you anticipating a large french fanbase? I love how the name sounds in French!

There will not be any, according to RPS.

Yeah, I just skimmed through the video, I AM NOT INTERESTED IN HEARING YOU GUYS TALK, JUST TAKE MY MONEY!

That's actually pretty interesting and goes a long way to explaining why someone might prefer Mario to Rayman. More so than his lack of limbs, I think.

I'm happy you're going to be a nice pirate, toblix. (Also, I am too, so I'm not judging you, or anything)

I think the Facebook thing is a feature of the European version of Netflix, for some reason. Maybe you answered it, toblix, butane watching House of Cards legally? If not, I think UI complaints is a silly reason to go torrent it, honestly.

I agree. When it comes to physical media vs torrents, legal customers are being fucked. But we're talking about Netflix! And that's when I think it comes down to preference. I love streaming, because it keeps hard disks uncluttered, I don't have to worry about bringing my collection with me, moving it from device to device, and assuming you have either a console, Smart TV or an Apple TV, it's simple to start watching on TV. I need to check out the web interface again, because that's the only negative thing I can think of. Contrast that with torrents, where it needs to download first, then either move it to a hard disk / device, or set up a stream server, sometimes re-encode it to make if compatible for the recipient device.. I wouldn't pay for that. It's too much of a hassle, for me. I still pirate stuff. But I actually only do it if it is legally unavailable in my country. Breaking Bad, for example, is being shown for the first time in Denmark next weekend. Five years too late. If you have a legal, reasonable way to watch something, then really.. there's no excuse! But like you said, you don't have as much of a problem with Netflix alone, more just the entire video industry. And I agree with that! The sooner they realize that they could make even more money by not being old farts about digital downloads/streaming, the better. Also, for clarification, I meant literally paying for pirating.. So you'd be paying the guys who encode/rip the stuff? Pay for their "services" instead of Netflix. It was a stupid hypothetical question..

I don't get how Netflix is this big media giant, who doesn't care about its service, in your eyes, toblix. Netflix are, from what I can tell, putting all their eggs in the streaming basket. Their service isn't perfect, but it's pretty good, stable and cheap (maybe the web stuff is awful?). I don't know what goes on behind the scenes, but they seem to try their best at securing deals to offer more new content and are now making steps towards their own original content (and making some pretty good choices in that department) What bothers me are the actual big media giant, Time Warner, Comcast, Viacom who are doing their best to keep us stuck in the 20th century as far as digital content goes (at least, outside of the US) From a European standpoint I'd say Netflix are the only ones who are trying to change how we watch TV. I think paying $14 to watch House of Cards doesn't sound like such a bad deal. I also feel like not paying for your entertainment is saying "no matter the quality of your content, it's not worth the money" I don't know, maybe I just don't put as much weight on the service (or find it as horrible) as you do, toblix. I like putting money in the hands of people that make good decisions and produce quality shows, in the hopes that they produce more of it. As an aside, if pirating weren't free, would you pay for that? Are there any advantages to piracy, besides it being free?

The interface is also pretty shit on 360. I hear it's great on Apple TV. The iOS version is also fine. Never really used the web interface. On 360 after I first said No to Facebook, it just defaulted to that. Subtitles are defaulted to none, I think, on 360 (I wish it were the other way around, actually)

Surely a stand-alone Han Solo franchise is the wise choice? Right?!

Hansel and Gretel - Witch Hunters supports Idle Thumbs now. And the Tennnes stream is hilarious!

Oh, sweet! I finally regained access to my Steam account and found two gifted invites to Dota 2 waiting for me. Thanks Cigol and toblix!

It's making fun of them. It's hilarious.

Here's an interesting article on how real life weapons make their way into video games, at Eurogamer.

Yeah, I would've liked to have seen a thread when I first saw the other thread, telling me that if there's no "mouse" icon then the person hasn't played the game. Then I would've ignored him from the get-go. Now I'm too deep in, gotta see where the rabbit hole ends!

I would've done it earlier, but I haven't got access to my Steam account. Go do it!
