...that people pay to avoid it? It's interesting; skill in other games in non-transferable. You can't sell people your muscle memory from playing an FPS or fighting game. I don't see anything wrong w/ gold farming, and I don't see it subverting a 'meritocracy.' It's just circumventing time spent, to which we should be asking: why are we making/playing such laborious games?
This has been making the rounds, but for those who haven't seen it, here's an thoughtful, insightful commentary on the new gen consoles.
PS3 vs Wii - Google Video
PrefBar does this in FF. No need to press f12, b/c it occupies one 'toolbar' slot below the file menus, url bar (which adds clutter though). but o/w it has the functionality you describe. You can even change the user agent presented to the webpage. Handy for sites that exclude anything except IE.
yeah, it's absolutely fantastic. Another great Genesis game (by technosoft, i believe) with a furiously thumping electronic soundtrack is Herzog Zwei (esp. check the track "The Mournful War")
sweet. you've got a nice site. I've been meaning to do exactly this for sometime for a little sf2 action. shoryueppa, bay-bee.
Further modifications: I suppose a clever EE could come along with a way to use one joystick rig and have one chip (?fpga) storing all the various pinouts/timing/configurations for different systems. Just flip the switch at boottime. would save on the cost of buying the scrap controllers.
(The linked site isn't any more elegant in their solution; they seem to have a variation on the scrapped controller idea, in their so-called "kits," which happen to be detachable.)
