  1. The "National" Video game museum in Texas is based on STOLEN concepts by other people. When this is brought up on Digitpress(where they post) they "conveniently" have these post deleted. I am not going to their stolen concept museum and neither should you...

      Well, I'm sorry you feel your ideas were stolen. You have to be quick to the patent office and quick to market. Just look at the history of Bushnell. He knew as soon as the Atari VCS was released there would be copycats. you have to be first to get credit.

  5. Everyone talks about the original Zelda on the Nes but what About Golden Axe Warrior on the Master System?.I mean This game does nearly everything the original Zelda does better going off pure mechanics, it's a bigger game and it has things the original Zelda lacks that further pushes it ahead not to mention the better graphics and sound

      The original Zelda is just the right length, has just the right challenge, and just the right mechanics. And like Reaperman said, you don't make waves by taking an existing game and marginally improving on it (re: Neutopia on the Turbo Grafx).

      GAW is th better game in every aspect, so much is true. I am also partial to it since I am a Sega guy. But it was released in 1991 or 1992, about 5 years after Zelda 1. It would have been embarassing NOT to be better than the very basic first Zelda by then. Zelda III was out already. Master of Darkness is also better than Castlevania, but when you consider Castlevania IV was out by then it is obviojs why it got little attention. Those games were nice treats for 8-bit in the era where 16-bit h...

      What I've heard from 2-3 guys who build or have built PCs for a living is that the PS4 is the most powerful PC anyone could build at that price, by far.

    4. TheObscureGamer

      TheObscureGamer

      well I just brought the parts for one more powerful.If you don't believe me look up videos of said graphic card running games.Can the PS4 run Bioshock Infinite at 134 FPS? nope

      and Chipworks, a reverse engineering company has proved that the PS4 uses a custom HD 7970 graphics card which is a mid range one at best.This rig when completed can run AAA titles on max settings in the 60+ FPS range and some like Grid 2 in the 200FPS range.

  10. Why the phuck is Nes's so expensive nowadays. Last I checked they were on Ebay buy it now for $60 and those were overpriced(they sold for about $30 less), now you can't find one for less than $60... sheesh

      Well, consider that there were what, 34 million North American units sold between front and top loaders. Probably a chunk ended up being thrown out either due to age or pin connector problems. Others probably stopped working due to other issues, but let's say there are, at minimum, 20 million units left.

      Impreza. I've had mine 12+ years, and it runs like new. But they seriously need to make a hatch version of the current WRX.

    3. TwentySixHundred

      TwentySixHundred

      I would have to agree with Tickled Pink, Impreza is alot better then a Lancer but EVO's are better then WRX. Lets not forget WRX gearboxes are complete trash and you will up having to replacing it with a 6 grand dog box sometime down the track. Had both in my younger years, a EVO6 and WRX 02 bug eye. EVO6 was alot quicker when stock and alot cheaper to make power, the WRX costed a fortune to make power. However when it comes to standard base models the Impreza is by far the better car. No...

  13. I was bidding on a comic book on Ebay some minutes ago and during the last 1 minute of the auction there was 1 bidder and the price was currently $1. In the last 10 seconds of the auction I bidded $1.04 and the auction ended it said I lost and when I went to see the winning price it was the exact price that I bidded. How is this possible?

      billysastard

      thats not always true the first bid could be $1.04, it would show as 99 cents then when you entered $1.04 his auto bid would match yours and he placed it first when he originally bid.

    4. Philflound

      Philflound

      Here's a better explanation. Pretend I bid $5 for the comic you wanted. Since I was the first bidder, the bid goes in at $1. If you bid $2, the current bid would be like $2.25 or whatever increment Ebay would place on it and it would still be mine since my bid of $5 is still higher than yours. If you then bid $5 exactly as your bid with the 10 seconds left, the winning bid will go to me, since I bid $5 before you did. If you had bid $5.01, the winni...

      Those of us who grew up in the 70's and 80 most surely are racists to some degree - it was on TV, in the movies, and our parents to some degree.. The key is to recognize it and make an effort not to be. Racism doesn't mean you are hateful or hurtful.
