Yes, in the UK you have to say “bap tide”

Ehhhh they’ll pass but I’d have used orange.

I’ll have to try that sometime.

I’ll guess Metal Gear Solid but there are plenty of other bangers in the PS1 library.

That one was a delightful surprise. I enjoyed it thoroughly because I’ve always liked digital pinball as well.

I’ll admit that 100%ing (or rather “100%”ing it - iykyk) it can get pretty tiresome, but I actually found that the backtracking wasn’t too bad because the castle map was so good. For some reason I was able to remember a lot of routes in it, but I couldn’t find my way through the later games for the life of me without checking the map screen every five seconds.

There really isn’t a remaster, just ports. There’s very little to improve.

I think there may have been some voice re-recordings here or there, but otherwise most versions are pretty much the same. I think the Xbox 360 Live Arcade version is missing some unimportant FMVs and some other minor details, but it’s still completely decent.

It was a secret unlockable in the PSP game Castlevania: The Dracula X Chronicles with an added character and other stuff, but then you have to deal with the PSP emulation or whatever.

I’d suggest either emulating the original or getting it as a PSOne Classic on PlayStation Store unless some other route is more convenient.

Absolutely yes. It’s timelessly good. I played a bunch of the post-SotN Castlevanias on GBA and such and even with the more advanced systems and everything, none of them hit the same. It’s insane how well they nailed it on their first go.

Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. The game so good it created the term “Metroidvania” even though the formula was basically “Metroid”.

To each their own, but floor() sacrifices precision and we’re deep into Nerdville here.

3.14.2. Do you even math?

Or, as mentioned already, 3.14.16 or 3.14.159, etc.

Fair enough. It’s got some solid spectacle so I’d be down for a big screen rerelease. Pity nobody actually liked it enough to warrant one. Oh well.

It does everything it can to improve the book and a lot of those decisions are phenomenal. But it’s still not a good movie. I just love it dearly.

Ready Player One. It’s a terrible movie that adapts a terrible book, but for some reason the vibe just entertains me and makes me feel comfortable. I don’t know either.

Seconding this. Use case is a big part of the decision. Is dual screen DS/3DS important? Do you want to play past PSX and into GameCube, PSP games, etc? Are you going to be playing more widescreen or 4:3, or even some of the weirder ones like portables with non-standard aspect ratios? Are analog sticks important? How important is pocketability? Do you want HDMI out and the ability to connect a second controller to “consolize” the device? What kind of headphones will you want to use, if any, Bluetooth or wired?

This is why I don’t watch It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. The writing is brilliant, hilarious satire that I think America is far too stupid not to take as an instruction manual.

They run a lab. They should know better.

I take it as shorthand for “without known harmful chemicals, probably, also, we think you’re an idiot”.

I knew someone who ate a chemical once and they died so it must be true.
