Re: This Castlevania LP Boxset Looks Gorgeous, But It Costs A Pretty Penny

It's pretty cool! I got into vinyl several years ago (it went out when I was a teenager), but I already can't afford to buy new vinyl releases as the prices of even 90's re-releases is sky high. I never got into buying digitally, but vinyl prices are trying to push me there. Guess I'll stick with CDs.

Anyway, as pointed out above, pressing digital music to analog vinyl is silly. Pretty, but silly.

For me, backwards compatibility is most useful for running older games at better quality. Having a Lite means I /could/ keep using it and playing all my old stuff if the new console wasn't backward compatible. Just like I still play my DS.

But the prospect of a few notable games running better on the new system without rebuying is pretty sweet.

Re: 'Sonic X Shadow Generations X Chao' Manga Announced, Here's A First Look

After the last article about them "not being able" to separate the garden for a standalone game, I dug out my Dreamcast to fire up Sonic Adventures 1 and 2. Unfortunately, my Dreamcast has lost the ability to read discs. However. I did find 2 Sonic A1 chaos and 1 Sonic A2 Chao on my VMUs (Along with the Skies of Arcadia ship).

BRING BACK THE GARDEN!

Point one: AI is indeed a tool. Unfortunately, it's a much cheaper tool. Which leads to...

Point 2: What does it matter how much a game makes if you were paid what you agreed upon? It's statements like the one she made about her first gig that make AI even more appealing to studios.

I do kinda feel for these people. For my whole life, factory workers have looked over their shoulders, fearing the ever-present "robot" closing in on their jobs. Cheaper tools that can replace flesh will always be sought after.
