So the Oculus is just a headset you jam on your head while sitting in a chair. Moving my head around just as a camera thing seems pretty gimicky,...

The ASCII standard named them themselves, to make it clear that these smilies are actually their own "letters", not just a substitute deal. I admit...

Thanks for the detailed explanation, I didn't know any of that. So emojis are a mobile/cellphone variant of smilies, then? Why was a different word...

I got a pair of Atari 2600 paddle controllers for $5. I haven't tested them, but it's a pretty good deal, and they're not hard to fix if they're...

I got these because they were there and quite interesting, even though I don't currently have a 5 1/4" floppy drive. Now I have to get one even more...

Almost forgot about this one, maybe it was while the site was down... Genesis -- Truxton - I beat the first loop of this awesome, and difficult,...

I know you like specific definitions, so here we go. Smilies refer to using text to make a face, like : - ) and the like. Over time, this was...

Final update! This includes summaries for the last ten games, plus one for a game I just got last week, making for eleven total. It's nice to get...

Xbox 360 -- Dynasty Warriors 6 - $5, complete PSP - these three were $10 for the three. -- Frantix - disc in case - okay-looking topdown...

So this ended today, but I got it yesterday before the end of the bundle. PC - Humble Sega Strategy Bundle - backed at $12 tier to get all games. ...

Huh. Yeah, that's just way too depressing, I don't like that tone. And that reason you give for them stopping to fight sounds REALLY dumb... their...

Oh, the location. Well, on the N3DSXL, it depends on how I hold it, really, but yeah, both are definitely not comfortable at the same time. With...

http://venturebeat.com/2016/04/05/game-developer-group-doesnt-let-nintendo-off-the-hook-for-firing-alison-rapp/ It's good to see some more...

The d-pad on the 3DS is built well enough. My complaint is with it's position on the handheld, moved down to make room for the analog nubbin. It's...

You're right, the DSiWare store was just announced for future shutdown, not shut down already. I remembered that wrong. As for me, I never got a...

So what seems to have happened here is that she was the target of an awful GamerGate campaign, and it was found that she had some (unspecified?)...

The DSi store is still up, but it will be closed in 2017. I just checked it and confirmed both of those things. The 3DS is fully capable of...

Genesis -- Zoom! - Finished this fun little arcade action game. Summary coming soon.

Zack Snyder is the problem. They've been trying to make DC "darker and edgier" for such a long time that we've reached a point where these...

Huh, how odd. That does not make much sense.

The movie seems to be trying to say Batman and Superman are BOTH good guys, and Superman STILL says that insipid line.

3DO -- Rebel Assault - $8, disc in generic case - Sure, the game is objectively probably not great, but as the PC version of this game was one of...

Hmm... well, out of context of how it's used in the movie (is Superman the bad guy, or are both Superman and Batman bad? I don't know)... well, it...

Got it, but what do you think of this particular line? Also, did you read Scrooge McDuck comics back in the day?

Oh, you can? I might want to do that then...

I haven't watched a superhero movie in years now. I never loved superheroes like some people, but I did watch a few of the major superhero movies...
