Nintendo has already heard your voice. DS and all future handhelds will no longer use or invoke the "Gameboy" monkier.

eSATA Connectors
·
· Score: 1
eSATA is pretty much SATA with locking clips. I use a HD3-SU2S2 external 2.5" drive which came with a SATA to eSATA converter (via a PCI slot). I'm loving the 1.5Gbs interface. The enclosure supports 3Gbs, but when I bought my laptop drive SATAII wasn't a common speed for 2.5" drives. I recommend this enclosure because SATA and SATAII are much faster and more MB native for HDs than any USB/Firewire interface.
I agree. Lack of support for the img tag is a feature. /. should continue to move in this direction of increasing meaningful discussion by any means possible. Anyway, I don't select tt for stylistic reasons; 'Code' is the default because ghostzilla alphabetizes option menus.
Sample size 1.
1. Console Emulation only: few hours.
2. Handheld At work but not at home or outside of home.
3. Total available time No limits.
4. Graphics or Gameplay Gameplay and suitability/appropriateness of platform.
5. Externals
"The question is silly (and, quite frankly, insulting) because in context it implies that people who are unemployed and living on someone else's dime are in that situation simply because they're immature. (You also suggest that only immature people play console games and mature people play portable games, but that's not nearly as offensive.)" I was not implying that unemployed console players are immature. I am implying that my family structure doesn't allow me a solid 1-2 hour block of time for a fulfilling console experience and was questioning how my position scales to the population. I can't even find the time to install GRUB on my external HD to get a Kubuntu CD image booting with permanence because award bios beeps every time I change the configuation (Which wakes the baby).
Just a quick question if you're still around. I hypothesized in my comment http://games.slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=211356&c id=17209084 that this was a good move because it's growing up with their gamers.
1) How much time do you devote a day to console games? 2) How much time do you devote a day to handheld games? 3) How much total free time a day could you devote to a console, if you wanted to?
What's more important, graphics and sound or gameplay?
I agree with trdrstv; I had forgotten about the corporate side. I was one of the 7% wonderswan marketshare who laughed at those GBA people who couldn't replay FFI/II, Saga, and a few Square originals(Wildcard, Bluewing Blitz, etc) so I admit a bias and blindspot. At 7% wonderswan wasn't a threat but it sure was an easy marketshare aquisition to Nintendo; bring over Square and Bandai as developers and it's yours.
I was thinking about jumping on it but it's a pedantic point. Hoshizora is the combination of two kanji. Hoshi, which means star, and sora, which means sky. (The 's' gets palatalized to 'z' per common convention. Perhaps you've seen a sushi menu regular such as inarizushi.)
The arcade game is nothing to get excited about as it's a derivative work. A few 'game' sites have already covered it.
Collective commenter websites are driven by their core content. I fully agree that the game marketplace can be a subset of the technology umbrella, but I believe that it has become too expansive for/. to cover in this detail. Right now we're discussing a top publisher's top title but that proves my point precisely. It is mainstream culture. When a large autonomous collective begins to diversify from its core content then it adopts a mainstream tone. Readership and comment count might go up, but the depth and quality will go down in an inverse relationship. The experts' departure to specialized forums is inevitable with this progression.
I don't have a regular newsletter if someone else already does it better. I'm not going to consume/. if I can find a news aggregator portfolio with a collective culture that better fits my core interests.
While handheld and consoles are commercial hardware and software offerings I don't really know if increased involvement in the game marketplace is good for the/. community identity. Sure a subset of/.ers are gamers, but there are lots more active high level discussions (and derivative humor) to be found in other communities. The lack of support for the img tag pretty much sums it up.
Unless content is hobbled like Final Fantasy III DS (Core content OK, only remake specific 'hidden content') than it should be fine. The GC version held up pretty well with only one player. (And sometimes a computer controlled ally is FASTER healing you than a friend.)
Possibly, but the DS already has what the GBA was missing: Wifi connectivity. Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates is a 1-4 player game via the wifi. The Cube game was console with optional GBA controllers so the development of this native DS game will follow a different structure. (4p Console + 4x GBA versus 4x DS)
I'm sure Square-Enix will follow the dollars/yen. As RPG games increase immersion and gamers age; the graphical funfests will go console with increasing frequency and "for the people with jobs" RPGs will go handheld.
With your reference to the Wii I assume that you acknowlege the Final Fantasy III for the DS and other Square properties for handhelds. (For newcomers it was already released in North America November 17th.)
Square began supporting Nintendo again when Bandai's Wonderswan Color/Crystal began losing traction in Japan and the Advance was the clear handheld winner. The support for the DS is just an organic extension of the Advance SP market share. I'm sure we'll see a few more for PSP, but only as much as Sony makes it easier to port console titles.
For console titles, I'm with you here: Who's going to get the Squaresoft/Square-Enix love?
Interesting design point. I know your talking about CC RFID but lets hope the RFID firewall addresses this in production models. When it comes to anything broadcasting financial or identifing information, regardless of it's formfactor, I'd like to be able to diable it reliably just in case.
I know, but thanks for linking for everyone. I asked already knowing that they exist. I guess I was being more like those people who always shout that hardware firewalls are better than software. Faraday cage:Router = "Unpluging your computer from the 'dangerous network' altogether":"Try really hard to not let known and unknown BAD from getting in."
They are passive in that they require RF traffic to power on, which can occur without contact. But the RFID can still be disabled by mechanical means. Parent was suggesting to 'turn off' RFID so that it wouldn't power up in the presence of a reader unless it was 'turned on.' The concept is no different than your TV remote(RFID reader) not turning on your unplugged(broken ciruit) TV(RFID tag, albet powered).
Spam and malware has either taken over or is being fought back depending on who you ask. We will only look back on spam gratefully if we win the war on IT security before society becomes so aclimated and accustomed to deleteing spam, scanning for malware, checking for phishing, shreding documents, etc as normal course of life/work/home.
How much of this RFID traffic is good? Why not market faraday cage coats and just leave the cellphone in an external pocket? (Enumerate the GOOD and just ignore the BAD.)
