Nah uh! I said thermite. :p

If you're paranoid that will work. An easier idea is to insert a Linux LiveCD and reformat as a new partition type, then either remove the partition or install the OS of choice.
I've used forensics tools that would see straight through that. If you've ever typed a social security number on a computer, you can't be too paranoid about what happens to the disk. I usually suggest thermite.

Also, each game treats the gap differently. Some games don't even leave a gap at all.

The fabled three-wheeled Segway! I would imagine it would be difficult to take law enforcement seriously when they're coming at you on something that looks like it came from a young Rusty Venture.

The Saturn version was never released here, though. In that instance, I'd rather it keep the Japanese title. Though yes, 'Castlevania - Nocturne in the Moonlight' would be a horrible name to keep, I agree.

I'll watch the movie a little later on today, just wanted to jump in with: I'm strongly against one hack obsoleting another hack. Let each case be judged on its own, and either accepted or rejected based on a fair evaluation. I'm still for the guidelines of which hacks should be allowed, of course, based on quality, completion, and finalization. *gotta go* Edit: Left out the most important detail of hacks: quality. >>

Anyway, yes, as discussed in the OTHER FFT thread, which predates this one - and thusly, this should have been merged or closed - I'd been working on a run of this game. Actually, I have three projects going at the moment, but this is the furthest along. It's also the one I've been working on the least lately.

Yeah, I don't see myself finishing this run any time soon. And I'm not even doing a silly arbitrary restriction challenge, either. I just know I'll never be satisfied that what I come out with is truly the fastest way, and it will inevitably be too long of a movie to ever consider being published, and honestly, even I wouldn't want to watch it when it's finished. I still want to actually finish it, however. Just don't plan on seeing it anytime soon, or next year.

I'd prefer to have the title be the romanization with the foreign text alongside it. And does the potentially perceived pronunciation really matter? You're not going to stop hundreds of thousands of ignorant people from pronouncing 'Ninja Gaiden' as 'ninnja gayden', and that's an official English title.

If the game has an official NA release, but the movie uses a foreign version by a different title, I agree that the NA title should be used to categorize the movie while stating the version difference in the description. However, I disagree in cases like 'Adventure Island 4' where the game is being referred to by a name that it was never officially given. In all other cases, the name of the game should mirror the name of the ROM.

In that respect, it should still at least be Dracula X, as that's the English that's actually in the title. Oh well.

Will comment on the run later when I can watch it, just wanted to ask: why was it submitted as 'Castlevania' and not 'Dracula X' or 'Akumajou Dracula X'? The Castlevania title wasn't assigned to it until last year on PSP, and only in the localization. </nitpick>

The upgraded Outrun 2 is on PS2 and PSP, as well as Xbox Live Arcade on 360.

There's a small part of me sitting off in the corner all dejected that I'm missing a Ridge Racer in my collection, even if RR7 is more of an upgrade to 6 than a complete sequel. I wouldn't mind giving GT5 a shot, just to see if it's more bearable with a wheel. Probably would still prefer to stick to the Forza franchise, though. Disgaea 3... *sigh* maybe someday. I'm really not a big enough gamer anymore to want to bother with spending more money on games I won't play. Maybe if my s/o roped me into it, I'd give in.

The biggest problem with Xbox emulation is that emulating the system is incredibly easy... with the official devkit. But if you use the devkit in any way for any sort of project and don't pay dues to Microsoft or have the project approved, you will be raped by their legal team. The means to write a capable and accurate emulator for the platform are easily and readily available, but they're a forbidden fruit. And most folks that would be interested in making it happen just stare at the tree rather than search for means to accomplish their goal without damning themselves. Xbox software will only execute on a very specific operating system written for a very specific piece of hardware. The hardware emulation isn't the biggest obstacle, it's emulating the environment itself.

PS3 was also the cheapest Blu-ray player (as well as one of the best) at its release, but that hasn't helped it any. But you're right, the PS2 was the first DVD player in my house. It's just one of the worst players in the house, currently.

PS2 is reason to disagree. In that case, name sold hardware above all else. It had a lackluster launch library, coupled with developers not being interested in creating games for the thing, but consumers bought it up because it was PlayStation with a 2. The software library wasn't a contributing factor until long after when developers realized they had no choice but to support the platform because it was the only way they would make money. Just look at all the developers that tried to abandon it for the more capable and developer-friendly Xbox and Gamecube, only to sigh and trudge back because the consumers cared more about the name on the box than the content.* I'm sure PS3 would have followed suit if not for the prohibitive pricepoint. * I also still blame the controllers chiefly for the lack of consumer interest in Xbox and Gamecube. The first Xbox controller was unwieldy, the smaller Xbox controller had horrible button placement, and the Gamecube controller was completely awkward to consider for most, not to mention the tremendously horrible d-pad.

No. Having Sephiroth in the picture automatically raises the estrogen quotient.

I had a wallpaper I made from high resolution images of Laharl and Etna, but it looks like it's neither online nor on my laptop, anymore. Instead, this is the closest thing I have to it. Never did finish. :p

I still use mIRC. Heavily scripted, but still mIRC.
