    Yup, I had it as a kid. I played through the scenario multiple times hoping to unlock something extra. I think the game itself takes about an hour to complete. So, yes, I am acquainted with The Brickster.

    Robert Newbie replied to the thread Skyward Sword HD randomizer announced with release date and trailer.
    I still have to play through Skyward Sword, but I recall the opening tutorial being about as tedious as the Twilight Princess one. I didn't know that the right stick gets sword duty in the HD release, but it may still be more preferable to a...

    Ah, that's right, with PS4 backwards compatbility, the HD remasters can skip a gen. Square-Enix will re-release it on the PS6, I'm sure. Thanks for the rundown. I appreciate the Black Friday tip, since I usually don't count on these types of...

    Thanks for the info. It sounds like X-Arcade is the way to go. I am tempted, but I don't think I could get away with using $250 USD on an arcade stick at the moment. Life is short, so I should probably consider putting some cash away for it.

    Ooooh, the X-Arcade Tankstick! I haven't thought about that for years. There was a time when I thought about buying a cabinet and fitting it with a dual X-Arcade stick. What a nice dream. Thanks for the #MemoryUnlock Most likely, Square-Enix...

    Ha, don't put the idea in my head, I've thought about buying an arcade stick for ages. For a brief time, I looked into building one too.

    Wow, that really is disappointing. Like Nintendo did with the Wii U and Switch, Sony can do that too, but the problem is the customer perception. What are these big companies doing?

    PS2 had one of the most amazing libraries (my personal favorite), but whatever this is won’t even scratch the surface. I don’t think they’ll release a single game I used to enjoy, much less one I’ve even played. Sadly we’re stuck with emulation...

    I've always been fascinated by computers and modding consoles and I don't think this hobby will go away. There have been so many great people out there who have shared their knowledge with me.

    Robert Newbie replied to the thread Which industry got you sinked in?.
    Yeah, I think my interest in video games naturally led to the whole computer fascination. I learned about compatible parts before there were websites that did the work for you. I enjoy building PC's, and I've considered a Pi several times just...

    Robert Newbie replied to the thread Questions you're too afraid to ask elsewhere..
    That's a tough one. Like @BakerMan said, you can always be direct and try to have an honest talk. Another option is to come from an angle where you yourself are concerned about your own habits. (Heart issues, breathing difficulties, bodily pain)...

    I wasn't expecting mention of The Bouncer in this thread. That game was interesting back in the day. Great graphics and presentation. What got to me was how enemies could hit you while you were down. The final boss AI really took advantage of...

    I have purchased a few hard-to-find PS1 games on PSN. I always appreciated that PSN purchases carried over to the PS3, but I don't know if that continued to the PS4. If the emulation is poor and people have to purchase the same games again, then...

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    What's really cool about Pi's tho is you can have multiple SD cards with different OS on each SD card and change from say a gaming machine to a full fledged pc if wanted
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Plus all bios are set up and usually includes at least 128gbs or 64
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah but if your main goal is just to play n64 and GameCube you can save about $50 and have the portability option

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    True, but on 2 monitors at 4k. Its just want you want really, to each they own.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    For a kids aspect Anbernic would be the better option they'd probably melt over the price on a good 4k display

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    For that texasroo guy, I'd recommend the Spell and speak as his first system.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    So they buy a pi5 kit for about $150 and say a 28" 4k display probably looking around $400 total
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    They'll be getting in the territory of portable Pcs anyway
