game-related lolz of some fashion

That is really, really good cg acting.

It's better acting than Antonio Banderas's in the original clip. It might be the best cg acting I've ever seen.

So once, in another life, I worked for IGN as their Sports Editor. Part of the job was going to video game-run events and interviewing

Bill Barnwell ‏@billbarnwell 7h
…athletes, who had been paid to be there. Only once did an athlete at an event get indignant when I asked him whether he liked video games.

Bill Barnwell ‏@billbarnwell 7h
That athlete was Andrea Bargnani, who was exasperated that I would even ask and told me he didn’t play that shit. In EA’s offices.

Bill Barnwell ‏@billbarnwell 7h
The only time an athlete did a worse job promoting a game was when Maria Sharapova was doing a Q&A for a tennis game...

Bill Barnwell ‏@billbarnwell 7h
And started describing how much fun it was to play on the Wii. There was no Wii version of the game. She was talking about Wii tennis.

that's a good article actually

Yeah, it's super interesting! Admittedly at a level of hardcore codery that means basically nothing to me ("the sound processor writes echo samples into shared RAM," you fools!!) but neat as a reminder of what has to be going on behind the scenes to make emulation appear seamless. And the real/better-than-real questions obviously have lots of resonance in other disciplines and so on.

Also love the idea that old emulators themselves could become "dead consoles"!

meanwhile, all this talk about achieving perfect synchronization makes me picture SNES cartridges as pilots loading into an Evangelion and that's kind of fun

haha! but yeah, it's absolutely true about emulators becoming "dead consoles", there's a long, long history of dead emulators and romsets that work with versions of said emulators, followed by versions of hacks that only work with those romsets and emulators. it can get to be an ugly mess.

I agree but the guy is upset that zSNES can't properly emulate Speedy Gonzalez

Hahahahha, yeah that was kind of beautiful. Imagine the frustration of sinking two hours into playing Speedy Gonzales and then not being able to finish.

Just watched that blindfolded Mike Tyson's Punch-Out run, so great! Absolutely love the moments of focused audience silence followed by rapturous, crashing applause upon TKO.

Also liked the flavor audience with Cookie Monster McLovin' and Giant Pirate Hat

Just realized this was by one of the guys (sinister1) who tried to make that awesome MTPO coffee table book on Kickstarter before Nintendo squashed it
