Is it just me who finds this reminiscent of something you'd expect on a Brasseye sketch?

I'm a retro gamer and all (it's great to see someone like you around my age with taste by the way!) but can you really enjoy Duke Nukem 64 for 1000 hours when mouselook controls, graphics that can be significantly upgraded and potentially LAN Dukematches are all available on the PC v...

And of course that breadth and sheer amount of content and secrets and tricks is matched by pitch perfect design and gameplay. This is so far ahead of modern games when it comes to craftsmanship, it's not even funny.

This might interest viewers of such a video as the above. And I have a witness of the veracity of the following story! In 2006 I turned on my NES (with that friend present) after inserting another game cartridge from the one we'd been playing. That annoying grey cartridge read fail screen came up...

In the late Gamecube period I mean

When I was 13/14 I managed to get some of the very hard men and ghetto boys in my class at school to play this (we didn't have AC in Europe until late 2004!) & we were swapping codes for a pear and stuff! Absolutely mental in retrospect. And the interesting thing was in mid 2004 I told my friend ...

The N64 would probably still work after that (not sure if serious, give it a try!)

On Super Scribblenauts I typed in 'capitalist' (it came up with some bloke with money-because all socialist moron game developers think that he with capital is not put there by society's needs but has capital cos he was born rich & apparently thereby concentrates wealth & thus 'controls' others b...

I used to tell schoolmates in arguments 2001 that Super Mario Bros. was better than Sonic the Hedgehog, now I feel bad for putting them down because SEGA has royally muffed up Sonic no end. It's almost bullying to have advocated Mario against Sonic given how far the latter has fallen. SEGA used t...

Isn't time relative like space, so that it never began as such & is infinite like space is? That would imply that there is no first cause & that effects of previous causes were caused by effects prior to them which were in turn caused by effects, implying determinism in that which is causally det...

We should all have peerages for having completed this level! Unless you used a guidebook or map or any other help of course! Doing it the hard way is like having to find several needles in a barn full of haystacks without any guide as to where those needles might be and without distinction betwee...

'IF your opponent is a monkey'

I once won chess in 3 or 4 moves when a friend moved a pawn that allowed my bishop I moved on my second turn to checkmate his king. And this friend was a pentalinguist by the time he was 16, so yeah, not a 'monkey!'

lol. Incidentally this game is really well designed as an on rails smhup, very replayable for score-attackers

Bloody hell this was right at the cutting edge of what home technology could do then

And then there are the sublime nearly arcade-perfect 2d fighting games and the late uber-Saturn games like Panzer Dragoon Saga and Shining Force 3 and Radiant Silvergun. Holy shit, it's an amazing system and I only ever really looked at it by the time I was nearly 19, what was I doing? What were ...

ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE OF A GAME.

I *might* look into purchasing this since the controls look pretty good. All the Zelda games since gamecube have basically been more interactive versions of those old linear point and click PC adventure games, with there being a specific puzzle to solve but with the player having significant free...

I think I have your Einstein on my Mii channel, you strange child. I swear I always enter really apt Miis and maintain a ranked as 'peerless' eye for Miis but I never get into the top 50. The 'hardcore' gamers on PC and Xbox think they're the ones with the challenges in their interactive entertai...

Wii Play's 'Find Mii' game keeps putting this arsehole near my Kenny McCormick Mii so as to draw my eyes to the red herring pair because they look the same. I hate you, you hamburger!

The reason that the welfare State and especially the NHS in Britain is disastrous for the provision of the poor with what they need, is that the tax system of payment according to means to pay and payout according to poverty, removes the system in which you will be paying more if you use the reso...

@FletchforFreedom

Of course even if the State provides technology or any benefit, it can hardly be expected to have been made available without significant costs when the State by its very nature did not follow purely contractually-imputed profit signals when it did not refrain from intervening ...

It's an issue close to my heart because my nephew who was unfortunately for him born in the 2000s, wants all these toy guns like I used to play with at his age yet they have to come with these ridiculous day-glo colours! Poor kids today! Back in the 50s and 60s, kids carried pen-knives. In the 90...

This game is just sublime as a gift for the under-7s.

Okay, here's something amusing. On the sharp photographs in the background the game graduates the level of friendliness as you go through the game's difficulty stages. So it moves from flowers, to cute birds, to ducks, to a slightly creepy wasp, to a somewhat unwholesome looking mosquito, to a fu...

Prime 3 is so awful compared to this masterpiece.

@rodrich182

Crash Team Racing may have better graphics and vastly more solidity, coming as it did well into the 3d era from a talented dev well into their run of making 3d games. Mario Kart 64 is originally from 1996 and thus is ancient history in polygonal 3d racing games, and of course being on...

Back when I was 14 in 2005 I had lent Mario Sunshine to a friend for about a year, so I asked him to give it back so I could finally man up & find the last few shines. With a bit of help from a guidebook (I didn't have broadband/ADSL then!) I managed to find the last few blue coins in tedious Nok...

The crux of economic liberalism i.e. strict Lockean property rights, is that EVEN IF it isn't 'you' paying for that which you exploit via the State's theft, in the long run the effect of that interventionism harms aggregate wealth and indeed you, whether by a despot taxing so much that productivi...

While I wouldn't recommend this game to Mario virgins due to its incredibly lacking artistic integrity (New Version of Old Super Game Now On Wii Without Explaining to New Players What That Super Game Was Actually About Bros.) and its redundant atmosphere (along with modern 3d Mario for that matte...

One thing I will say about these PS1 vs N64 graphics videos is that PS1 graphics having no z-buffering (except Crash Bandicoot 2 and its sequels, to my knowledge), no mipmapping/perspective correction on the textures and no alpha channel meant that it's basically just raw polygons & raw unfiltere...

@elbryan42

Is Hexen on N64 more fast paced action like Doom or annoying pseudo-complexity like Doom64?

I mention that a Budgens sells Golden Pride because apparently they're only meant to be available in selected Waitrose stores. So I live in a lucky area with accessible selection of Fuller's more upmarket ales!

Funny, my great great uncle was in the House of Lords, and he happened to have once prominently complained of the American bastardisation of the English language with terms like hospitalising and burglarising (not that that particular clanger has penetrated British vernacular, thank god) so he wo...

@spearhafoc

In real life Paul Merton is actually extremely laid back and like most comedians is not at all effusive outside of the act, they presumably get fed up of the goofing around when they're doing it for a living and enjoy the laid-back time off!

Incidentally my sister did the invitation...

I remember when that bloke in I think 2000 got to the million pound question and walked, the answer was mushroom or something of that kind IIRC, and then that woman with short white hair was cruising through and on the next episode she continued and won which was such a big, unprecedented deal th...
