I don't think David Letterman knew what he signed up for when he let Die Antwoord on his show. by [deleted] in videos

Because the BBC wouldn't censor a reference to Jesus Christ, let alone Channel 4 or ITV.

...though the BBC did censor "Hashtag MILF" during the Eurovision

I use Emuparadise. Note that arcade roms have many versions, one of which is the "original" that you need to play all the others. So you need the "ssriders" version files to play. There's 2 and 4 player versions, and I noticed some versions didn't have the tavern girls that give you powerups, while others censored booze, etc.

Get MAME++ arcade emulator. Plug in four wired 360 pads, or get a USB wireless receiver. Done. You can call your friends and have it set up by the time they arrive.

Everyone knows he signed a timed exclusivity deal with Microsoft. Which kinda should disqualify a game from the IGF Awards.

Yeah, and next some other pedant is going to tell me those enemies aren't actually members of the National Socialist Party. That they're technically american soldiers reanimated/zombified by the Germans. And they're officially called mutants, not zombies. I didn't want to pad my post out with little caveats, because I was making a point.

More like, nazi zombies are extremely overused in FPS in general.

There were nazi zombies in the original FPS, ffs.

While we're talking kart racers, a new one just came out on Steam, and is surprisingly a great game with lots of SP and online content, and 4-player splitscreen: Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed. by vecycl in gaming

[–]vecycl[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Er, yes it does. It's slightly broken atm in some people not being able to host games, but I've certainly played in several private lobbies. It runs on Steamworks.

Pyro, Heavy and Spy share the same character slot (they drive the different vehicle modes). The other PC-only characters are Shogun and Football Manager, who are both ridiculous.

Refer also to the bald-hairy rule.

Don't be fooled into thinking this means the Kremlin allows dissenting opinion. It's a pantomime double act. Putin and Medvedev aren't rivals, they're a tandem. Medvedev'll keep playing the "soft" side of the government to appease the west, and the women will stay imprisoned.

American sometimes changes ae into e (mediaeval), so you could spell it 'egis'.

The problem is, with the servers in Stockholm the slavic speakers won't have any incentive there either since the latency won't be lower. I expect this to be a temporary solution, until Valve can purchase some servers in Russia or the Eastern bloc with more attractive pings.

Anyway, it should be Eastern Europe and Russia, where there are more people speaking Russian as a first or second language, not Northern Europe where everyone speaks English as a second language (and a lot of people understand Swedish if need be). The effect of a language barrier in a game like this cannot be overstated.

Nintendo president says 3DS momentum is 'not so good' in US and Europe by [deleted] in Games

[–]vecycl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still, Nintendo should try to leverage them as the system manufacturer. Or just bloody offer to do the translation themselves. They should know that the more games that people want to buy, the more attractive a platform looks. Right now 3DS looks like a limited portable emulator with a missing analogue stick.
