I hate Gamers.

[Hooded_Miracle]

Whaddi miss?

I must have missed someone being mad at my favorite hobby.

Ah, well. I play as many 'artsy' games as I can, from Katamari Damacy to Ico, and a whole buncha others.

Well, If you must know, Yes, I hate gamers and other such fans of things because all I see is negativity towards just about everything. Instead of appreciating what they have, they complain about what they don't. But most recently, my annoyance is towards gamers. Depending on what happens, it may shift to something else.

And obviously my tolerance level is pretty darn high since I don't go and start fights with people with this sort thing. And I play videogames, and occasionally complain about them. It's just aggravates me to see the general face of gamers to be that of a spoiled brat that doesn't know what it wants and complains about everything it gets. This is just following the DSi coverage. When the next Harry Potter movie comes out and everyone bitches about it, I will shift my hatred to movie aficionados.

The reason I'm so broad about it is because pretty much everyone does it, including me, really. Every gamer I've met on the internet or otherwise has some dumb, irrational caveat against something else. And it annoys me. You can say what you say, but your actions speak louder than words.

It sounds to me like you hate dicks that play games, rather then gamers in general.

[Hooded_Miracle]

But but I like gaming, AND all of its flaws.

I like the DSi, I just wish it had a GBA port. >_<;

The problem is that dicks that play games have taken over the face of gaming.

Do you no longer have any other system that plays GBA games? Are you aware that there are pretty good odds that GBA games will be downloadable a la VC? Did you know that GBA is quite possibly the easiest to emulate modern(ish) system on the pc? I've played through pretty much every GBA game this way. Bought a couple on that basis too.

I've noticed that.

But i think the reason the GBA is emulated so "easy" is because it is very close to the SNES. It just has a more powerful processor (32bit processor like a PS1, but the rest of the system is still 16bit like a SNES). And the SNES has been nearly perfectly emulated since before the GBA was even released pretty much.

Ironically for the psp its one of the hardest, yet it nails SNES/PS1/Genesis, and other systems more powerful than the GBA spot on :\

[Hooded_Miracle]

Uh, the games I like are sorta obscure. You know, games from Atlus and Treasure. >_>

Besides, I don't like breaking the law. I'm a sissy like that.

I see, Yes, Robopon and Demi kids were both great games.

If you own the games, it's perfectly legal to play them on your computer.
furthermore, if someone were to release a gba emulator that works with the sd card slot, that would be legal too.
And again, are you going to throw away all other devices you own that play gba games?

[Soty]

Perfectly legal? Nah. But I think Dave Attell put it best.

"I know it's illegal. But it's not that illegal!"

[soloferro]

Thank you, legal loophole that allows you to make backups of games you already own. Probably made to prevent people from being sued for installing their games on new computers without erasing the old ones they gave to junior. You know, I see you disagree with me a lot, but you don't exactly put any effort into it.

I feel like the little bitch around here. You go look up your own goddamn evidence. Seriously, you are some kind of asshole. Go be one elsewhere, I'm trying to debunk illogical reasons to criticize new products.

There is no legal loophole. None.

I've actually READ the instructions on some of my games and a lot of them say in the back where the legal mumbojumbo that there is no need to make a backup of the game, and that it is illegal to do so.

Here is an example of one of said instruction manuals:

http://www.nintendo.com/consumer/gam...ustom_Robo.pdf

Scroll to the last page:

"Copying of any video game for any Nintendo system is illegal and is strictly prohibited by
domestic and international intellectual property laws. “Back-up” or “archival” copies are not
authorized and are not necessary to protect your software. Violators will be prosecuted."

Now im not sure about other consoles, but i know nintendo is definitely taking steps.

To tell the truth, I was hoping you'd say that. That's actually exactly what I was talking about. It's not a 'back-up' if you play it. And no part of your standard end-user license agreement makes any allowance for downloading it online.

To be technically in the clear, one must have their own card reader (or borrow someone else's) and either never play that copy, or destroy the original. But it's not like anyone keeps the sales reciepts, either.

It's kind of the opposite of marijuana: illegal to DO, legal to posses.

THE MOAR YOU KNOW!

Again, not like I care. It's not "that" illegal.
