How to annoy retro gamers
Obviously, as we all know, I am the very image of reasonable and none-argumentative, with every fiber of my being focused, as it is, on getting on with everyone.
However, that said, if I really, really, wanted to p*ss of retro gamers, how would I do it?
I could open a Playstation 1 retro forum - that is, indeed, one way... but there has to be others...

I feel terrible about that... Let me offer my most heartfelt apology..3DO Experience wrote:desiv, you are one sick S.O.B. but that would totally make people cry!
Ok, now back to painting my Pole Position II cab "PSX black" so I can put the PSX in there for some GTA: Vice City cab action!!!
desiv
p.s. Yes, I have a PPII cab. No, I'm not painting it at all. Yes, I'm gutting it (it doesn't work and PPII cabs are all bad by design). No, I'm not putting a console in it. It'll be a PC with emulated racing games. PP and PPII for a start. My only 2 questions are: Do I add a brake pedal (the upright PP II doesn't have one, but the sitdown does, as do other games and I think it will fit there, so probably). What do I do with the shifter. It's original and 2 position. A lot of games are 4.. Haven't decided..

Look, Austin, you seem mostly okay or as much as I'm going to allow people to be in my mind, so here's something you may have missed: Nintendo fans have so much in the latent abandonment department... not as much as Sega fans, but the Wii will do that to you... that they will lash out at you for the mere suggestion of trolling at their expense.

I have left pure Nintendo bashing and have moved with times:
Kinetic what a complete and utter abominational waste of money that is. £130 so I can wave my arms and scream at TV? I've been doing that for free years just during the news.
Sonys Move seems just as rubbish. Except for one tech demo where they did something that looked a bit like that scene from Minority Report but it's still rubbish.
Nintendo Wafty was all well and fun for the 30 minutes I gave a crap about Wii Sports.

Yes. There are people who cannot understand what progress means. And therefore they are unable to comprehend a world where the PS3 did not exist. Even if that world was 20 years ago.oldskool wrote:The comment that I hear that pisses me off the most, especially by older people that should know better (kids have a reason to say it) is:

This young boy (18 or 19) at work today told me "I only play games with HDMI" after I was telling him about getting systems working with component video. It turns out the whole time he thought that the old systems, he kept bringing up Genesis, actually had HD capability and that's what I was trying to do.
Another wonderful quote, "Wow I haven't seen a GameCube in aaaaaaaa, about eight years." I so wanted to slap his ass and not in the good way. I also found out today he doesn't know the difference between decibels and fidelity.
I hate new gamers.

But the original Genesis DOES support "High Definition Graphics"--It says so right on the system!! How could it POSSIBLY be lying?!?3DO Experience wrote:This young boy (18 or 19) at work today told me It turns out the whole time he thought that the old systems, he kept bringing up Genesis, actually had HD capability and that's what I was trying to do.
