I don’t know why, but I feel odd playing first-party Nintendo games on a platform that’s not a Nintendo console. The fact that my Wii can run Homebrew hacks and ROMs makes me happy because playing Zelda on my PC with a 360 controller is just weird.

Isn’t for me. Been using Dolphin for a very long time. Especially for METROID: Prime 1 & 2. No way will I ever play Other M. The Wind Waker and that other random one is fine though through emulation. But I play a shedload of PC games anyway.
Starfox 2 is great.

Still waiting for SAINTS ROW V (I know about Agents of Mayhem), S.T.A.L.K.E.R. 2, and an enhanced remake of The Witcher 1 using the PC version of The Witcher III’s engine (Too many NPCs look like clones and this isn’t a science fiction game either).

Movies generally considered "bad" that you like.

I think the movie is quite underrated. Remove the kid and his monkey and it’s a complete winner.

But you loved last years Ghostbusters so there’s that. Would’ve rather have had it follow the original concept.
Best to ignore Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. If you liked the trailers, don’t read any reviews, and want to see it, go see the movie you want to.
But there’s absolutely no way I’ll ever watch the newest Power Rangers movie even remotely sober.

Looked at my backlog and realized I never played my copy of Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD Remix.

So back to the PS3 and started playing Kingdom Hearts II, especially in preparation for the upcoming KH3.

You really didn’t need to post the cover. If I had a PS2 and PS3, I’d finally play Red Dead Redemption, complete Red Dead Revolver, Uncharted Trilogy, and some Yakuza. No JRPGs and especially not Kingdom Hearts nor Persona.

Not if you’ve got a good texture pack. After playing both N64 Zelda games in 1080p on a massive screen with all textures replaced by high resolution textures but in the same art style I couldn’t imagine playing them any other way ever again. I mean if you just want it to look like it did in 1998 but bigger then yes you are correct, but internal upscaling by emulators (for N64 it’s not even really upscaling it’s just actually generating at a higher resolution so no pixelation or blocks) has gotten very good, but with the texture packs like I said they don’t even have to do that because the textures are hd anyway.

On my display snes games look best with 2xsai applied. No it’s not faithful and it does to a small degree change the look of the games, but it doesn’t change the feel of how they look and on a screen the size of a wall it provides the best overall experience in my opinion, faithful or not.

To me texture repacks are fine as long as they follow the original game. I can’t stand filters with emulators. Give me pillarboxed 1080p OAR with zero filters applied.

Replaying Assassin’s Creed III, IV: Black Flag, and EMPIRE: Total War largely in part of the History class required for my General Education requirement I’m taking this semester. (US History to 1865.) Is pretty cool and was even playing Napoleon: Total War with it. Bit of Civilization I-V too. Don’t have VI yet.

Info: New Spartacus restoration. Interesting info...

Just wanted to say after spinning this again: The new disc is perfection aside from not having all the Criterion features. The 7.1 is the best sounding version ever completed as it perfectly recreates the original panning sound design of the six track release-and far better so than any previous mix including, LD, matrixed versions and the discrete 5.1.

If you don’t have this already what are you waiting for?

Because I do already own this superb remastered Blu-ray and have the Criterion DVDs as Discs 2 & 3. Disc 4 is the OST CD, not the multi-disc one though but the single.

Hi. Sorry to bring back this old thing, but I was wondering where I can find the Criterion audio track commentary now so I can include it with my Blu-ray.

Ok, thanks

Thanks to answer

I should still have it up on Mega and I’ll share a link. It’s either AC3 or I dunno. Wasn’t there another commentary besides the Criterion one?
I’ve many more Laserdisc commentaries.

For King Kong (1933), there’s the Criterion LD, but also the Image Intertainment one

http://www.lddb.com/laserdisc/09584/I6003/King-Kong-(1933)

Do you have those two ?

I shared the link to Mega for the Criterion commentary in a PM to you. I’ll look to see if I have the Image Entertainment commentary on my server.

Found it. Will upload to Mega and share the link with you in PM tomorrow. Only 137MB and AC3.

I started with Tales of Monkey Island (at its launch), then got the Sam & Max trilogy, Back to the Future, and The Walking Dead Season 1. Interestingly, I started watching the TWD show because I played the game.

… while the Mass Effect Trilogy is one of my favorite series, I’m not sure how it relates to adventure games.

Cause I’ve been playing it lately and making sure to do the Paragon choices in 1 and 2 before 3. Now 3 and I wish Andromeda had the same team from it instead of the lazy ones which has tons of glitches and bad animation.
The Secret of Monkey Island is the first of the series and played them all. Tales of Monkey Island doesn’t count to me for the series. Random, yes.

Only two TellTale games I own are Wallace & Gromit along with Back to the Future. I might have another but I completely lost interest. One random game I completely uninstalled was Dying Light because there were no choices for the storyline and didn’t have an after the game play.
So yes, I consider TellTale a gimmick and don’t even know why I have The Witcher Adventure game for free, which should’ve been made by a different company. Not gonna play their Batman games either nor wasting my time torrenting them.
At least with the Mass Effect Trilogy (have all DLC and lods e mods) the game saves carry over and NewGame+.
But with Resident Evil 6 I’m barely playing it off and on. Really enjoying the Styx duology.

I’ve been playing a link to the past. It’s still great.

The Parallel Worlds ROMHack is too frustrating for its own good.

MASS EFFECT 1, 2, & 3 for PC with mods. Currently 2 and 3 at the same time. No idea if I want to play Andromeda or not. Heard horror stories and not the good kind, but interesting premise.
Still want a sequel to Jade Empire, THE THING, and RIDDICK. Replaying the BORDERLANDS Trilogy and never the TellTale shite.

Also been playing STYX: Master of Shadows and STYX: Shards of Darkness. Need to get playing Sid Meier’s Civilization: Beyond Earth and VI.
