The Coop

I do, on both counts. Frankly, that multiplayer has become far more important to gamers than the single-player experience is disheartening to say the least.

Call of-Duty: Modern Warfare 3

Doesn't matter if OCR makes no money or profit. An IP is still copyrighted, and the companies can protect it or not protect it as they see fit. If a company dubs OCR as a threat to their IP for any reason, that company has the right to ask DJP to remove anything related to, or based on, what they own the rights to. They don't need a reason beyond "Because I said so."

For the same reason that so many homebrew projects based on Square-Enix games get C&D letters... because it might affect their bottom line. That, and there's that whole "protecting our IP" business. OCR's existence is based around copyrighted music, from copyrighted games. It even hosts the original songs that were remixed, via emulated music formats. Because of this, it operates in a gray area that thus far, no one's been all that concerned about. But that can change at literally any moment. All a company has to do is decide it wants to protect its IPs, and request that DJP take down any and all remixes based on the music from their games. DJP would then have little choice but to comply (unless he likes legal battles to decide if remixes fall under any aspect of "fair use").

Just think of the all the potential fines and jail time I could get for all the sigs and such I've done

Going through that list, it reads like one created by people without much NES game playing experience.

I'll give Spectra a whirl. Give me a couple of days.

Cutesy monsters, or beasts that are more serious in appearance? Oh, and how big? 32x32 pixels? Bigger?

Are you talking about big character design/portrait sprites, or more "in-game" style sprites?

And what about those who can't go online because their connection died (lines down, modem died and can't get a new one for a while, etc.), or their connection got dropped unexpectedly in the middle of play (which I'm sure will have some affect)? Seems like a shit deal then. And really, it doesn't matter. A hack will come out that'll allow you play offline, and that'll be the end of that. I personally don't care about the proposed marketplace, as I'm never going to pay for someone else's weapon that was made/found in-game, and anyone who would... well, I question their intelligence. If someone made/found it, that means you can too. So find it your-damn-self people!

Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception

You don't need a MegaDrive. The U.S. version and the Japanese version will play just fine on the Genesis or MegaDrive (there's no region lock on the game). 1) It's not. DDP looks better, plays better, sounds better, and offers a better challenge. 2) Gun Frontier isn't that good of a game. It's not bad per se, but if you really want to play it, it can be gotten much cheaper on the Taito Legends 2 compilation. 3) Cotton 2 is good, but not as good as DDP. 4) **See 3**

This really needs Goofy's "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-HO-HO-HO-HOYYYYY!"

I've heard of Nightwish for a few years now, but I never sat down and listened to their stuff until earlier today... Holy shit! Is this the kind of music I've been missing out on?

Battlefield 3

So, Yuji Naka? Nope. Yu Suzuki? Nope. Shigeru Miyamoto? Nope. Nolan Bushnell? Nope. Steve Jobs? OMG MOAST INFLUANTIAL IN GAMING EVAR! Even Fox News has more believable polls than this one.
