Video Game News and Miscellany

Witcher author claims the games have cost him book sales, that the books were bestsellers in the west before the games existed (they weren't). Guy is just bitter because he sold the game rights for a song with no back end. Metro 2033 author says he's out of his mind.
Honestly, if he asked for a little more money from CD Projekt Red, they'd probably give it to him. As long as it was a reasonable amount. They honestly seem like a good bunch who make a lot of good decisions and treat their fanbase well. I don't see why they wouldn't be like, "You're the reason we're this successful. Of course you deserve a little more money."

Nintendo might as well just ship them directly to scalpers to save everyone time if they handle this fucking thing like they did the NES mini.
...Honestly, I'm actually kind of hoping that the SNES Mini does turn out to be a thing. That console had a great selection of games, and considering what they put together for the NES Mini, I can only imagine what that line-up might be like.

The problem isn't its existence; the problem is that it won't be a thing for most people because Nintendo won't produce anywhere near enough to meet demand, meaning price wars for scalper stock, and then Nintendo ends production entirely instead of making more.

If they handle it like they did the NES version.

But I'm sure THIS time they'll lock it down so emulators can't be loaded on it, right?.... Right?

WHY IS NINTENDO SO BAD AT THIS
 
I wanted a NES Mini so bad, but I'm not paying the $150-$500 prices found online due to all the fucking scalpers. Mark my words, the EXACT same clusterfuck is going to happen again.

Go fuck yourselves, Nintendo.
 
Same. And honestly, putting ketchup on a hot dog past the age of 10 should be a capital offense. :p
I'll add it to the list.
1) Dunking biscuits in tea
2) Making dogs wear clothes
3) Doing the thing
4) Putting ketchup on a hot dog past the age of 10
 
For the love of Mike Royko, you people are monsters. [emoji15][emoji30]
RRAWRR!!!!


FYI my "standard" dog when I can get it has Ketchup, Mustard, Relish (sweet or dill, but not both), and Sauerkraut. Other toppings are acceptable, and for a custom "theme" dog I will omit some as well (Chili dog for example is far different), but those are my "4 standards" that constitute "that had what I wanted and was not lacking" type of dog. But I'm also not dogmatic about it. :p
 
I was lucky enough to go to Reykjavik for the first time in my life a few months ago, and I have to say, the Icelandic hot dog is effin' amazing.

Lamb dog
toasted bun
brown sugar djon mustard & remoulade on top
a mix of chopped raw onion and deep fried onion on the bottom

It's glorious.
 
I took the test 3 times, changing my answers each time, and I got "friend codes on the Switch" all 3 times. Looks like I'm very friend-codey.
 
I will put anything on hot dogs.

Ketchup, mustard, mayo, relish, onions, saurkraut, pickles, fried onions, hot sauce, cheese, chili, cheese sauce, hot mustard, honey mustard, bbq sauce, dijon mustard, a1 sauce, etc. etc. etc.
 
Are you telling me there's no one left here from Chicago to defend your city's honor? I'm not even from there. It shouldn't be my job. :p

Ha ha ha well about that...

Has anybody tried out "Remotr?"

http://remotrapp.com/

It looks like a DIY game streaming app that you install on your gaming PC and then you can play games on another PC, tablet, phone, or even some smart TVs, apparently.

It claims you can use it to play "at school, at work, in the car," etc, but I wonder if they've really got the latency beat.

If they do, then who the fuck needs to pay for Geforce Now?
