Re: Switch Discussion Thread

All this over a word even that dictionary.com site itself says: Origin of gyp1 1885–90, Americanism ; back formation from Gypsy Usage note Gyp in the meanings “to swindle” or “a person who swindles” is sometimes perceived as insulting to or by Gypsies, since it stereotypes them as swindlers.

Stories I read said both, nothing about same time though. Sometimes people stagger for better sales, much like Diablo on GoG also had a smaller note about both Warcraft games coming next but a bit later.

Re: Custom Game Cases - Virtual Boy Case Campaign

I’d be interested if they were for sale but I don’t back projects. I’ve got 8+ games for mine and the flashboy plus kit so far too. I rigged up a ghetto one for the kit since I felt it needed it.

Virtual Boy is more disrespected than deserved.

Well in the end, good you did the right thing. No need to feed a sponge when you can be patient and win in the end, especially for a freeware (now) game of all things.

Re: What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

So that old DOS game is like rare on CD? I remember a year ago trying to get a complete boxed up CD DOS game and that took a stretch to pull off without being hammered over it so I get what you mean.

Re: Switch Discussion Thread

I'm with the old man there, I don't like buying digital and I don't like just clickbaiting on line when I can walk into a store, browser, see what there, read the box and the rest of it. It's just more helpful and as also pointed out, if you wait a bit those physical games drop in price too which wi...

Re: Switch Discussion Thread

Well yeah they are scalper feeders, but it was said somewhere from them outside that announcement it was going to be a best buy release like Golf Story and others are. So if you're not into being a collector pigeon paying $55 for some weak extra fluff, just wait to walk into that store and buy it wi...

Re: Diablo now on GoG moments ago

I caught that hours later that WC1 and WC2 are coming. I'd grab both for support, but WC2 Battlenet edition works just fine already as I have it, but it would be handy still as it's more future proofing. Speaking of Lost Vikings I know I brought it up, but they do actually give it away free hiding o...

Diablo now on GoG moments ago

Wow, I'm stunned. $9.99 m Battle.net enabled and all this is quite impressive and I'm surprised given they run their own network. Does this mean more Blizzard games?? They've been hosting older stuff like Blackthorne, Lost Vikings, and Rock n Roll Racing free on their site buried there, but also cou...
