Re: Court Orders Popular ROM Website To "Destroy" All Of Its Unauthorised Nintendo Games

@Noid Stopping one rom sharing website doesn't really do anything for preservation one way or another. You can find complete romsets for basically every system up on the internet archive, and there are thousands of people keeping them on hard drives. And whether they admit it or not, I'm sure those video game preservation places have the romsets stored as well.

Also this guy was a tool.

Re: Tencent Reportedly Planning To Acquire Crytek Through Subsidiary

"But it should be noted this story is from the German equivalent of The Sun and it's trying to sensationalise a rumor by claiming the Chinese army will use Crytek to spy on the West or something lol"

Because China isn't known for their massive spying system at home and would certainly not want to spread that abroad!

Oh wait.

Re: Random: Disgruntled Fans Spam Nintendo Tweet In Response To YouTube Soundtrack Takedowns

@NEStalgia Here's the problem with that. People will find a way to listen to it. It was harder to do back then, but that doesn't matter. People always find a way, and corporations try to stop them. Your very example of 'recording the music onto a tape recorder from your tv' was considered illegal by corporations until the courts stopped them.

All nintendo is doing is forcing people to look somewhere else because they won't provide a product that doesn't exist. You can say that's their right, and you aren't wrong, but people are going to fill the demand somehow.

Re: Dry Bowser Takes To The Court In Mario Tennis Aces, New Trailer Shows Him In Action

Does anyone else find Dry Bowser a little unsettling? Like, Dry Bones was always sort of weird too. I loved him, but there's some necromancy involved there that you just don't think about too hard.

Dry Bowser, though...

Is Bowser a lich? Does he have a phylactery somewhere that Mario needs to destroy or he'll just keep coming back to life? Or is he just a reanimated puppet in slave to magikoopa? (kemick? I know magikoopa has a name).

It's just more thinking than I'm prepared to do about my mario games.
