The Damned

Here's something I thought of regarding the whole changes thing. 1. If you played it recently or on a regular basis, then why the fuck are you so worried about this? You either have a working SNES/PS1 and FF6 cart/disc, or you emulate it on your computer. Either way, it doesn't concern you if they change some text and names, or that the music is slightly different from the SNES version. You'll just play it the way you've been playing it before. The changes don't effect you in any way. 2. If you haven't played it in years, then why are you so concerned about little changes? You haven't played it in a fucking decade, so you can't possibly remember all the little dialog and spell names from the original version. You're essentially playing it for the first time. And even if you have some magical photographic memory, are you really going to let these changes stop you from playing it again? Are you? Then go play whatever version you like, because they're all the same. 3. If you are the sort of person that is going to obsess over spell names and what the characters say in this and that scene, then you're likely a Final Fantasy 6 fanboy, in which case I think point 1 applies directly to you. But you're a FF fanboy, so you'll just get it anyway. But stop bitching about it. No one is making you buy the game again. 4. If you've never played FF6 before... what the hell is wrong with you? Go play it. Got a SNES and a working cart? Got a computer and the ROM? Getting the GBA version? Go play it however you want, it's a damn good game either way. Everyone fits into one of those four categories. So read the one that applies to you, and stop bitching about the changes.

Quicktime likes to override your media preferences. I had the exact same problem for a few days. QT just randomly decided to ignore all the other programs that I set to play all the different media types, and set it stself as a universal player. No matter what I did in any settings on any program (browser, players, even the QT settings itself), QT would always end up taking over playing files. I uninstalled Quicktime, and used QT alternative . Haven't had a problem with it since. Quicktime is practically a virus the way it works.

I see that some Americans are going out of their way to be offended these days. Five bucks says that the group of people that complained about this were the same organization of people that complained about the Janet Jackson nipple thing.

Wrong game. That's pokeyman. And then it's "It's super effective!" Anyone got a list of all the changes from the SNES to GBA versions? Like spell names, characters, music, whatever.

The Damned used Scan. Atmuh is weak against nostalgia.

Yeah, but he's from Europe, and no one gives a fuck.

Wow. When they said you would need a new computer, I thought they just meant a beefier processor and some more RAM. Now you need a new sound card as well? I'm glad I'm not into PC gaming that much anymore.

Here you go. EDIT: Damn you, andyjayne, and your quicker posting.

TEN CHARACTERS!

Ugh... is there anyway we can stop the human spambots from posting?

As opposed to us that are playing it almost everyday since we got ours... Hmmm. I don't think that's a fair comparison. But then, that may very well be why it's so worn down. Maybe a DS Lite as a graduation present for myself in May... Yikes. I can't imagine that the game would be that big a drain on the battery. That doesn't seem right at all. The Lite has differrent light settings, right? How much of a battery life difference is there when using the lowest and highest settings?

"What's the name of the Italian guy in the red plumbers suit?" "Viagra pills for less!" "EEEEH! Wrong." "Uhm... Luigi?" "Close enough."

Sure they are, Spammy McSpamspam. Just a note: using all bold in your post is almost like using all-caps. It comes off as talking very loudly.

I don't know. There are lots of DSs out there. They could make just as much on either portable. Honestly, it's the laziness. Porting to GBA is just easier.

Maybe... maybe he's from the future. That or he's thinking of a completely unrelated game.

Porting and tweaking existing games from the 8- and 16-bit consoles to the GBA is easier than completely redoing them from scratch for the DS. And don't tell me how good it is. I can't but any new games for another four months, and it's already killing me...

a) Oops. I only ever charged after it died, or an hour or so once the red light came on. c) Overnight, while I sleep. I have to assume the leaving it plugged in after it finishes charging has no effect on the battery at all, seeing how there is no current running through it. But I still notice it dying pretty quickly these days... should I get a new battery (easy install, and I can always keep the other one as a spare if I need one, for some reason) or just go get a DS Lite? $20 for a battery, be able to play GBA games without sticking out so much but still have a few dead pixels, or $150 for new everything, brighter and more colorful screens, but have GBA games stick out... decisions, decisions.

I think Hotel Dusk is more of a stylized mystery than a serious mystery. I mean, look at it. It's got a completely original art style for a game. If they had a lot more time, I suspect that the story could have been a lot longer, or better. But as it is, it's still a decent game.

Oh my god... I actually remember that game. It was one of the first Gameboy games I ever played. In fact, the local toy store used to rent all games, even portable ones, and I would get it every couple of months. Request seconded.

That wouldn't happen to be your video, would it? (insert non-ugly winking emoticon here)

Oh, thank god... I need that. I only completed R-Type because I was playing a ROM and kept using continues from all the "insert coin" button pressing I did whenever I had a chance. In real life, I would have gone through an entire paycheck doing so. So maybe I could actually complete Metal Slug for once.

You mean to tell me you have never heard the "Who's _____? Some noob?" joke before? Wow. I guess we know who the real noob is now.

QFA. (That's "agreement", in case no one guesses) I'm looking for a high capacity MP3 player, but it has to - HAS TO - not do any DRM of any kind. I want my stuff clean and free. Got any recommendations? And please don't say the Gigabeat line... I've already found out about their nasty little tricks.

Some guy shows up, says he's been here for years, and he has a March 2006 join date. The majority of his posts are in a non-remixing thread, and he bitches about the music which he doesn't seem to have any part of. So... what was necessary again?

In what regard? In sales, software, fun factor? The Snes had a lot of each. According to Wikipedia, the DS has sold 35.6 million DSs as of December 31, 2006. Soooo, at that rate, it would take Nintendo 56 years to reach a billion units sold. Yeah, even with Nintendo milking successful hardware for as long as possible, I don't see that happening. Unless there is a sudden, exponential increase in sales in the next couple of years.
