Cofagrigus Syndrome all over again.  

I believe it's officially referred to as "The S****horpe Problem", generally by attendees of Weightwatchers.

This post has been officially edited by the Conservative Party. Glory to Big Brother.

I now can't access this thread from my work computer, due to the title! Any chance of euphemistic it, Mas?

Can you not do it with your mod powers?

Didn't think Skip would be a problem   

I'd rather not exercise that power without Mas' approval, at which point he may as well just change it himself.

Changed

Thank you sir!  

Resi 4's getting a PC HD re-release. The original port on PC was awful unmodded, so this is refreshing news. The price point is a bit iffy (I think it's £20 if I remember rightly) but if they pack in extra content it could be worth it.

£20 seems over priced

There isn't a price yet in pounds, but it's labelled as $20/20 euro so perhaps it'll be £15.

Steam is presently listing it as that.

Ah, didn't realise it was up on Steam yet. £15 isn't too shabby, all told.

Huge news the 1st dreamcast game of the year NEO XYX has gone gold today and will start shipping to customers to be with them for february.

Here's the launch trailer.

Just think if the Wii U does totally flops and dies it could still be loved like the DC in 10+ years time.

The so called definitive edition of tomb raider will only run at a locked 30fps on xbox one, the PS4 version runs at avg an 60fps but may drop.

& one person on a forum such as this would be the only person to care.

I don't really care about Tomb Raider just thought people would like to know.

...sarcasm, right? Needs an emoticon to clarify. Either that or Jas has wrong-footed me with his post.

Tomb Raider has different devs for each of the two platforms that is why there is a difference.

I was being sarcastic about Tomb Raider, and I am quite likely the only person the forum that cares about a new dreamcast game (which I've bought) but some whom likes there retro consoles might be interested in it.,

So it looks like PS4 is going to get PSone and 2 compatibility through local emulation, rather than the cloud- although it doesn't say if this means it'll play your old discs or if you have to buy everything again through PSN.

Still, it bodes well for those who have bought games from one platform or the other on PSN during 3's life.

So, the Wall Street Journal has a full liveblog of Nintendo's financial meeting here.

Biggest WTF? is Nintendo releasing a new non wearable device built around Quality of life / health in 2015. (Nobody knows what the hell this is)..

The Vitality Sensor is now... the Vitality Glasses!

  

That image just leaves me feeling confused and stupid. Please tell me I'm not the only one.   

They had me until the last bubble.



What is this I don't even.

Nintendo to open a bunch of health care facilities where people can drop in & play wii fit, brain training etc.

The good thing is, this is in addition to their consoles. A "third pillar" if you will.
Seems that Nintendo wants to expand from just being a console company.

This is where David Cameron appears in a Nintendo Direct and says Nintendo are in charge of privatising the NHS.
