Random Gaming Thoughts

I never watch "making-ofs" for movies or games either because I find it detracts from the world that particular media is trying to create. I compare it to being told that Santa isn't real.

Does knowing how a TV works no longer make it a "Magic light show box" or a car no longer a "Explosions make the wheels go round wagon" too? I find it just as interesting to know the little details that go into things as well as the overall picture. *shrug*

No it scares the hell out of me. My TV show friends are being held at CRT Gun point inside that box and every time I try to let them out I get shocked like the dickens.

I don't like to view live music concerts/shows on YouTube or TV or whatever.

I like to picture music as something transcendental and not a bunch of dudes with guitars.

I find this odd but only because of your avatar.

Well Banjo music with Spaceships is already so Transcendental it doesnt matter

It's very rare for me to enjoy a making-of on any game, movie, etc. that I really like. It kind of ruins the magic for me in a way.

Really? I think it enhances the "magic." It's like how knowing that stars are balls of gas doesn't make them any less beautiful.

I take your point and I, too, like knowing how stuff works. But when it comes to a work of fiction (book/movie/tv show/game), that kind of stuff generally falls into the category of "immersion breaker" to me.

Crono great tip on Big Pic mode!

I actually bought one yesterday, I'm trying to set it up right now. It's all very doable, but the OUYA doesn't make it entirely simple!

(What's this credit card required, bullshit!? I gave it testcard numbers, but wow, you can't use the device without putting a card on file? That's absolute horseshit!)

^LE NSA Edition Ouya confirmed.

Just found out about the Oretachi Geasen Zoku Sono series on PS2.

I love stuff like this. Too bad the games can't be found for cheap anymore (if eBay is any indication).

Yeah, they're pricey. I have Sonic Wings and Thunder Cross. The latter was pretty pricey and was never ported anywhere else.
