Sure, if I'm successful.  I've had some luck getting the angles of the mouthpiece, but when I put in holes, it loses its sound.

Pixels looks ok, when was the last time sander made a good movie? I will still watch it as the premise is awesome. Plus it has dinklage! Paceman part at the end was funny.

Last movie he was in that was good was Hotel Transylvania but he didn't direct it that was Genndy Tartakovsky.

Edit* Chris Columbus is directing Pixels.

Getting old NTSC consoles that used a TV tuner to run on a modern HDMI TV.

On a semi-related note how fucking good is The Warriors? Such an awesome movie.

It truly is, and the game is probably my second or third favorite R* game.

I feel stupid suggesting this, but have you looked into video converters?  https://de.hama.com/00042504/hama-video-converter-4-1

Yeah, but the people selling them actually talked me out of it because they strongly suggested that it would not work for my situation.

Eurogamer wrote an article about how the announcement of the NX is Nintendo's declaration of acceptance of defeat with the WiiU.  Anyhow, I only skimmed the article, but they had this picture and bit of text tucked in the article

The number of Wii U games worth playing stacked up against the number of PS4 games worth playing. Models presented for scale/size of fanboyism.

LOL

I would gladly trade my PS4 for a Wii U without hesitation. PC+WiiU is the solution for 2013,14 and 15.

Nintendo is smart to adopt the approach of getting their IP in front of as many potential buyers as possible. This is Microsoft's (applications, not the gaming side) philosohpy with their software (making it available on Android on iOS).

They are not going to give away the farm, the mobile shit will be the teaser, and as I said a few years ago, I am all about Ninendo fucking over dumb mobile users for their dollers to fund the Nintendo core.

Yeah I don't see the problem either. That article about this move haunting Nintendo to the grave got a good chuckle out of me. How is it a bad thing toss people some simple fun games as a teaser for their REAL shit?

Nintendo was founded in 1889. When wired.com has been around for 126 years I'll start trusting their opinion about what a long-lasting company needs to do to survive.

Gaming media is vomit.

i was listening to my favorinte game under podcast today.

In it, I talk abuot a game I have NO MEMORY OF ACTUALLY PLAYING. In fact, if any one had bet me a thousand dollars on my testimony of having played this game I would have doubled down (and lost).

Have you guys ever had a failure of memory about a game (or anything) like this?

... keep in mind my story about waking up twice and not only knowing not what country or room I was in, but actually lacking an identity at all, which I attribute to my bi-nationality and house made up for two buildings.

Most of them had sight at one point (all but a few were elderly), so they still had some sense of what things looked like. So we did a lot of pots and vases. None on a wheel. All mostly under 40 cm in height. I remember helping one man make a bear sculpture over a period of weeks. He was a mechanic in the Korean War and had to learn how to service engines in the dark (since light would draw enemy fire at night and they had to repair things 24 hours a day).  So he was already well aware of working in the dark. Then he lost his sight later in life, and in some small way that experience prepared him.

War sucks, even so.

I guess the fear is that they may make such a honking huge, disproportionate (compared to budget) amount of money from some crappy mobile game - that it makes them look at the hardcore games which cost more to make and take more time and effort and think, what's the point?

Nintendo raising the standard of mobile games will be pretty cool, but I hope any and all of these games are on the 3DS shop, or Wii U shop too.

Animal Crossing mobile though... it could make billions. Think about fleecing mobile buyers for furniture sets or items?

Why does MCV keep using misleading headlines about how Vita is leading sales in Japan?

Yakuza keeps PS4 and Vita on top in Japan for a third week, as Mario Party 10 debuts at No.4

And here’s the weekly hardware rankings:

  1. PS4 – 30,647
  2. PS Vita – 20,996
  3. New Nintendo 3DS XL – 16,075
  4. PS3 – 6,579
  5. New Nintendo 3DS – 6,537
  6. Wii U – 6,333
  7. Nintendo 3DS XL – 2,016
  8. Nintendo 3DS – 1,839
  9. PS Vita TV – 545
  10. Xbox One – 446

So they aren't going to add together 3DS version sales. Good job, for the 3rd week in a row MCV. yes

sonicboom

A new podcast from SegaNerds contains an interview with Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric producer Stephen Frost. You can listen to it in full here, though Sonic Stadium has rounded up some of the more interesting bits.

Frost touched on Sonic Boom’s development, and a few other topics as well. Here’s the full summary:

  • Suggestion that Sonic had to re-invent itself because the fanbase was getting smaller. Cites Call of Duty as an example/comparison.
  • Boom was made to appeal to non Sonic fans. — This is stated multiple times.
  • Suggestion that people/retailers are bored of Classic – Dreamcast era Sonic. States you can only do so much with these eras/characters. He does go on to suggest this is from a retailer standpoint.
  • Claims multiple times that Boom (franchise) is a big success.
  • Admits Boom (franchise) could have been better.
  • “Could the games have been better… yes, any game can be made better.”
  • Suggestion that part of the reason why Boom (game) isn’t that good is because the team didn’t know what Sonic was about/lack of experience.
  • “In focus tests, we heard all the time, people were sick of speed, Sonic was too fast, they wanted to slow down.”
  • “People really liked the Co-Op” — Hopes Sonic Team will do that in the future.
  • “The biggest mistake in Boom (game) was adding too many features to it.
  • “It was too much to ask of the/any development team” — In terms of different characters, combat, features etc.
  • “I was tasked (by Sega) with creating an experience that appeals to an audience which doesn’t play Sonic.”
  • “If I could do it again, I would remove features and speed would be the main focus from the start.”
  • “Speed was shelved because we were under the impression people didn’t want it.”
  • “Speed is always a Sonic thing, we didn’t focus on that.”
  • “The goal of Boom was to reach new people.”
  • “As a branch of Sonic, Boom is a success in many ways.”
  • Suggests that due to how much content you need to make for a Sonic alone game, it’s too much work. You need additional characters to spread the burden of content.
  • “Multiple characters resonate well with people”
  • “Solo Sonic games, I don’t know how long that can last there isn’t enough variety to sustain it.”
  • “The future of Sonic games needs to be Co-Op, it worked really well in Sonic Boom, community and online play, that sustains it.”
  • Say’s he’d love to see a Sonic level design game.
  • “In general, you need to do multiplayer and add online multiplayer aspects, that will sustain and keep the franchise alive.”
  • Says that the reason for the change in release date was likely a number of reasons, cartoon air date, Nintendo release dates, Sega release dates.
  • When the decision was made to change Boom’s release date, Sega did not know when Smash was coming out.
