    DRM wars (Steam, Origin, Starforce, Battle.net, installation limits, etc...)

    Simple: people who`d like to play AAA games on their PC. Generalising, because there`s also Origin and Uplay (though I suppose these crossover with Steam sometime too)  but as we all well know Steam has near-monopoly. Now, I always steered clear of  their operation, just like any other DRM...

    Wii or PS2 for couch multiplayer (and mods)

    Fun fact: every time somebody says that PCSX2 runs "perfect" a kitten throws up somewhere* *(citation needed) This stems from the fact that definitions of the word "perfect" vary wildly when it comes to emulation. I`d prefer if folks used "good enough for me" instead - since the only way to...

    This is What the Pyra May Look Like...

    It looks like Pandora.

    Upgrading my WinXP 32bit system?

    For the games you mention in the OP, upgrading GPU only would be enough. Don`t bother with RAM (minimal gains) or Win 7 (unnecessary). I`m still on XP and lovin it because it`s super stable, from pre online-checks era and runs most of DOS games flawlessly without fiddling/patching/etc. Also on...

    What music aren't I listening to

    Lol ^^ Bit beyond the call of duty though...it`d suffice to say "gosh I hate it" - your dedication betrays a worryingly obsessive angle. Fancy naming your favourite music genre so I can show you how easy it is to do a similarly mindless hatchet job on it?

    Popup Dungeon.. roguelike dungeon crawler

    Hmmm, hatin on the "Pop-up" phrase - super trendy these days :) That niggle aside, a new TB roguelike is always welcome. And yeah, lot of neat ideas here. 80K target might be a bit of an overkill though...

    MS-DOS game recommendation thread

    Hmph, it might be kind of a tumbleweed moment (not sure which version we`re talking here - I assume the Bioware one) - but original DOS Neverwinter Nights was one of the first MMORPGs, released in 1991 by SSI as a tie-in to their seminal Gold Box series.

    Recommended Horror Games

    Thief: The Dark Project - this legendary title is mainly known for it`s groundbreaking stealth mechanics (also unmatched audio, atmosphere, mature plot and so on - and one of the best games ever for this poster) - but what people rarely mention is how utterly terrifying it can be. Play it late...

    MS-DOS game recommendation thread

    DOS era - the best ever in gaming history? ;) Two classics of top of my head, and very playable on Pandora: Superhero League Of Hoboken - crazy mash up of RPG and point`n click adventuring from legendary Legend Entertainment. Hard to describe, try it! Darklands - one of the best cRPGs ever...

    Worth buying Pandora after Pyra announcement?

    Some hardware will never "die", in the usability sense of the word of course, not the actual physical lifespan. I`ll never get rid of my NDS for example - it`s simply perfect for playing Crawl/Nethack/Powder, (and an okay e-reader too, nevermind the vast games library) PSP rules on jRPG angle...

    Longest living console?

    Wow, that`s really impressive. Working order? I`ve never had one and only learned about them a few years ago (I`m from Europe) but it`s my favourite of the Ancient Heroes. Maybe would even try to get one if shipping wasn`t so expensive.   I used to buy old machines quite often - nearly every...

    Anybody considering picking up an Oculus Rift..?

    Agreed. Kinda Kinect/Eyetoy popular-level maybe. The whole wearable visor style is too obtrusive and gimmicky for total takeover. The end-all will be what I think T4b mentions above - some sort of direct-feed tech. Implants are obvious solution, though I still think these would be perhaps bit...

    Anybody considering picking up an Oculus Rift..?

    Me nodding in agreement reading Notch`s comments? It`s a weird ol` world..what`s next, Cliffy B talking tellin` it like it is?  I don`t really understand the part of the argument in the comments above - it`s beyond obvious fb has no interest in making worse product in technical sense of the...

    Anybody considering picking up an Oculus Rift..?

    So that`s the new (tech) world order - anything fresh and exciting insta-snapped by the Valley Kids, even when it might not  make much sense at the time present. Just grab it and see what happens later (if nothing, well, it`s only couple of billion, chump change). Google`s been at it for quite...

    Roguelike: ADOM on the Pandora

    Interesting, though without diagonals rather unplayable. This seems to be a common issue with handheld roguelikes. ADOM runs okay in DOSBox Ex - and it`s possible to use custom mapper to deal with the diagonals. Unfortunately when I tried to map them to ABXY it did not work, and the keyboard...

    SONY PlayStation 4 (PS4)

    That`s all great and good, but here`s that ol`trickster, Mr. Carmack in a party pooper role: http://wegotthiscovered.com/gaming/john-carmack-warns-ps4-project-morpheus-expectations/ I used to worship the guy, back int the heady Quake 1/2/3 days though that faded since he got corporate soda...

    The Universe in a Nutshell

    Total layman, so not sure. Have we? I was more fantasizing about some pesky Standard Model breaking thingy. Tbh, was even bit disappointed when they "found" the Higgs (though of course I`m rather awed too). This reminds me of the big tabloid scare from the LHC start-up time (black holes eat up...

    Hack (open source, refined version of PHP, by Facebook)

    Bah, I clicked thinking somebody ported the classic roguelike :)

    The Universe in a Nutshell

    Haha, you made my day with this post (never mind it`s over a year old, I`m sure in one of the 11 dimensions it does not matter, becuz everything is NOW. Or something :) I don` t always agree with KP, but he drops some mindbogglingly clever verses sometime. This one from B.I.B.L.E. stayed with...
