Don't you think that, in general, in a post-apocalyptic world there would be me a lot less ammo and fuel and people would be a lot more concerned about just finding food and shelter? Video games never seem to get this.

You're probably right regarding the resources, but you underestimate man's capability and inclination towards violence against others. As the T-800 said, it is in our nature to destroy ourselves.

Ok, is it just me is the encounter rate for mobs in FF1 PSP 20th anniversary seriously high? It seems like sometimes I don't walk that far and I somehow run into another fight somehow....fun game if it were for so many fights ha ha

Virtually all old ass JRPGs are exactly like this.

Odd, because from what I recall in the version that is downloadable in psn(they're obviously not the same, quite a few graphics are different). Heck even in what I did play of dragon warrior(one of these days I'll get around to playing it I just keep forgetting too) it didn't seem this high >_> It's kinda nice so I can get leveling done but I'd like to be able to walk. The major thing that's keeping me in this version is the save feature

Well, it finally happened. Have a 100 dollar credit at local retro store and found nothing they have that I want or do not already have. Kind of a sad day for me.

When was the last time any one tried OnLive?

Considering I live in Asia (I bet the closest server to me is in Germany), and I have a 10mbps connection which is over the air (Wiimax), with big latency (ping 300), and I am connecting to it through wifi, and I am not sure who else in the house is using it along with me... I tried Lego Harry Potter and its very playable.

Sure blurry graphics, slow response time, but its playable like a slow-ish emulator. I get to test out games like a demo with out having to download 4GB demos or have minimum requirements. not bad

Food and shelter are abundant, but I only have so much ammo to kill these people in the desert and steal their tanker full of gas...

I just watched some of the behind the scenes videos in Uncharted 2. I watched them expecting to find some interesting insight into game development, instead all I got was:

^ Pretty much what I thought of the Kaz: Pushing the Virtual Divide movie.

The Youtube clips they had for the Last of Us's motion capture n' such weren't bad though, but I haven't watched the full length one because I figured it'd just be mostly promo as well.

Would a Wii with MAME on it be able to handle most rail shooters? I'm looking at stuff like HOTD, CarnEvil, Time Crisis, etc.

EDIT:
Also, are there any adapters that let you play N64 games on any other console? It might seem like a stupid question, and it is, but I don't have that many N64 games I want and I almost feel guilty for owning the console with only one current game and only about 8 total I want, many of which can be gotten on other consoles.

As far as I know, no, the N64 is unique.
