I think Castlevania II should be on there, but it's kind of the norm these days for everyone to hate it. Not a bad list though.

I've been usingUMPlayerlately and I like it pretty well so far.

They have a subscription plan now with theirCreative Cloud. They'd have to cut their prices in half before I'd consider it a great deal though. Some people snag older versions off Ebay too, but at a quick glance I didn't see any super great deals at the moment. Not sure on Student Editions as...

Yeah, I've seen some people use them and even just finger paint. I don't have one, but I've always assumed they probably couldn't handle print res stuff, and the applications are fairly simplistic compared to desktop apps. I'm sure eventually they'll quit focusing as much on ebooks and make a...

I only know ofClonezillaoff the top of my head, but I don't have personal experience with it.

Why would someone go get an IQ test every 6 months? I wonder if he's actually adding his scores together like they're points you collect.

Asepriteis a pretty cool sprite editor I found a few months ago. It beats using MSPaint, and it's free so you don't have to buy or "acquire" it like you do Photoshop.

Some people on various art boards I read have said theYiynovaare pretty good, and they're way cheaper than the Cintiqs. I still haven't checked one out myself though. Video demo of one I found:

Guy that played Lucas (Powerglove kid) is a registered sex offender. Which means his address is really easy to locate, so you can get your Wizard VHS tapes signed.

I had that Barbarian game on my first PC. Don't remember the specs but it had MSDos 3.0 and didn't have a mouse. I actually got $50 from a scratch off lottery ticket and bought it, which I guess technically wasn't even legal. It was always really hard to control because for some reason...

Kings Quest III was pretty brutal for me. I always had trouble at typing the spells in, because you had to be perfect. I suppose it'd probably be easier now, since I can actually type. Either 2 or 4 was pretty hard due to a bridge you could only cross 7 times throughout the game or something...

I never could get into SASS or LESS. Same with various Grid CSS frameworks, boilerplates, and other things. It would take me longer to figure out how to use that stuff than just hammering it out in Vim takes. Javascript and php frameworks I'll use though. Especially javascript because they...

Those were unlicensed games, so irrc the A/B switch was to help bypass the NES lockout chip. If A didn't work you could try switching it to B. I've read Nintendo actually would do some shady shit threatening to pull stock if stores tried selling those games along side the "Seal of Quality"...

Reading it that way it sounds more like playing the original Legend of Zelda, going around accumulating easy money from moblins, and winding up with a white sword, blue ring, and 2 extra heart containers before even stepping foot in the first dungeon. In those situations I don't think the game...

Bionic Commando, Blaster Master, and that anti-drug screen on several Arcade games in the late 80s early 90s.

At 11:13 is he saying "all intensive purposes," or am I just hearing what I want to hear?

Audio Editing LMMS- Open Source alternative to FL Studio Graphic Design Inkscape- Vector graphics editor Not sure what category to put these in: Blender- 3D Software Suite Sculptris- free very easy to use 3D sculpting application LibreOffice- Office Suite (forked from OpenOffice, but...

Was it like a sure thing you'd win or could you lose? I never could figure out the game's rules. It always seemed like entire groups would go in and play it and then come out.

I watched the first 20 or so episodes, but I had a difficult time remembering what was happening week to week since it swaps around so much. I'll just wait till all the episodes are up and watch them in one go. I think it's pretty good though.

I have an Intuos 4 since whenever they were released, and never saw any reason to upgrade. I think the only major functional difference is the Intuos 5 has some touch gesture support. Even the pens and things can be shared between them otherwise. Really either one is going to work extremely...

There was an arcade in my area which had Galaxian 3. It was like it's own room where 6 players went in and sat down and played gunners on a giant screen. I never did play it because it was around $3 to play iirc. Was still a pretty impressive booth.Here is a little article about it.

You can try going throughTryRuby. It's not RPG Maker specific, but should be easy to adapt to it.RubyMonkis also good but looks like it requires a subscription for some areas now. :/

Pretty cool Megaman X fan animation.

Man, that game is tough to figure out even with gamefaqs. I played through it a couple years ago, and I had to resort to YouTube videos for some parts.

I only played that on SNES though. Plus it came out after the Turtles started getting a little stale for me.

Haha yeah, I had forgotten about the password thing. I fired it up on my emulator box out of curiosity. Doesn't seem too bad a game really. It's definitely an old school style RPG, but the battle system makes the grinding not seem so monotonous. Well, so far at least. I suppose things could...

The 4 player Ninja Turtles game. Used to play it all the time at the skating rink in 4th grade.

Yeah, looks like River City Ransom, Crash n the Boys: Street Challenge, and Super Dodge Ball are all in the same universe of sorts along with a few others. It's likean entire franchise in Japanapparently.

I played the sequel to Kung-Fu Heroes, called Little Ninja Brothers (as a kid I rented just about anything with Ninja in the title). It's probably one of the weirdest RPGs I've played. Most of it plays sorta like Final Fantasy 1, but when you go into battle it's real-time like that Kung-Fu...

I think you can do both, but I haven't kept up on web shit in 2 or 3 years now.Here are the box-shadow properties, javascript should be able to animate any of them.

Depends on what you're going to do with it I suppose. When I was doing web dev, I'd make two images and fade between them using jQuery (I imagine that framework can do it too though). Some are usingCSS3 stuffthese days it looks like.

Well, I for one, find the FF8 game balance discussion pretty interesting.

How well can you do on theNES Music Quiz? These are the ones I struggled with and needed to use hints (mostly games I didn't play as a kid):

I totally agree with starting something small at first. Starting with something big right out the gate, you're more likely to burn yourself out before you have anything of substance. With something small you can usually at least get a functional prototype up pretty quickly and then it's kind of...

Eventing is usually the biggest time killer. Setting up NPC dialogue, cutscenes, dungeon puzzles, and things like that. It's not very difficult most of the time, but requires playtesting and things. It's where I always burned out.

A Boy and his Blob was such a cool idea for a game, but poorly executed with all the inconsistencies/bugs. I never did play that remake they did, but the trailers for it had an appealing style and good animation.

They have a free edition for Unity. It has a few features cut from the pro version, but it's still highly functional. It just won't have dynamic shadows and other things (there is a comparison list on the site somewhere).

The place I used to rent at imported several Famicom games but I never played the actual console. Only one I remember renting was Super Mario Bros 3. I rented it a few times actually since it was quite a bit ahead of it's US release. Famicom games were about half the size of an NES cart, so it...

Added them all. Thanks! Freerice under General, 3 under Health, last one under Music. Idea is just to collect links to things people may find useful, but not realize is available. They could scroll down and see Magic Tricks and want to learn a few to show off to friends. Or maybe they want to...

A WINNER IS YOU
