Is the controller a flask, as well?

yes but the opening is on the bottom for some reason so it ends up being really awkward to hold

Somebody did teach him to paint, he went to art school, he just failed to impress anybody with his lovely dumb paintings.

And actually, I'd go back and prevent the assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand if I was given the option. That's a far more pivotal moment to shape and requires, at least theoretically, no bloodshed on my part. All I gotta do is sprinkle a laxative on the right sandwich at the right diner.

if you read the accounts of how that assassination went down, i'm pretty sure that there were like a billion time travelers there already trying to either prevent it or ensure it

This is essentially what happens to me when I try to play the last level of Duck Tales Remastered. But it is because that last level is hard as gently caress.

As little as Alan Wake did for me, I have to admit one of my dream games is Alan Wake but it's Garth Marenghi instead.

The misspellings are also common words and that causes spellcheckers to miss when people use the wrong one.

twilight princess is a pretty divisive game tbh. people either like it or really hate it.

which is weird because people definitely loved it when it game out (8.8 and all).

i rented it for the gamecube after it came out and i liked it. and then i picked up tphd and that's been pretty fun as well.

this guy should like just wear a loving tshirt and jeans. or a regular suit if he's going to try to look professional

also the hatred of gyro controls reminds me a lot of how the press couldn't handle dual stick controls in the PS1 era



i don't even think that pc fps's had standardized on wasd + mouselook being the default control scheme until half-life 1 came around. quake one defaulted to arrow keys and turned mouse look off by default (even though everybody enabled it).

i mean, it was definitely common before HL1, and QuakeWorld popularized it, but I think that HL1 was the first retail game to use WASD + mouselook as the out of the box control scheme.

Nintendo was such a scummy company back in the day. My favorite is probably the president of Nintendo of America throwing the entire industry under the bus during the Night Trap/Mortal Kombat hearings just so he could make Nintendo look better by comparison as a children's entertainment company.

to be fair, it's a lot of work to change the framebuffer size and replacing all the assets with the pc version's "high" texture settings.
