Bootable USB drives can take care of that and more. Even an amazingly crappy Compaq from about '97 or '98 that I found was able to boot off of one. For seriously old skool stuff, though... Well, you should have a library of floppies to go along with that kind of thing anyways. :)

Oh Ebert, whenever did you become relevant? Art can be found anywhere, regardless of aesthetic value, and the worth is subjective. If somebody has created something that evokes emotion or senses in you, it can be said to be art. A garden that someone has grown, rich with aromas that force...

Good fucking riddance, I've had such bad experiences with those pieces of Frankensteinian hippo shit in school. Actual 5.25" floppies, on the other hand... Fuck yeah, those were awesome. I remember playing Frogger on my Commodore 64 off of one. Good times.

Sounds like normalization. I'm not familiar with IDT, but look for a "normalization" or "loudness equalization"-looking option in your audio device driver control panel. Try updating your drivers as well; could fix that issue with Spotify.

Fffffffuck that game. I played through the whole game since it's not as if I could return the fucking thing to the store, and it was complete and total assballs the whole way through. The crusades level where you trudge through the moat/trench or whatever and encounter that giant beast that...

Fallout 2. I just encountered Keeng Ra'at and killed him in my first turn with a rock aimed at the eyes, scoring a critical hit for 1 hit point. :D

Whoop-dee-fuckin'-doo. Without IW, how shall I sate my thirst for my annual regenerating health and unintelligible 4-hour-long Russian- and brown-people-killing Oscar Mike fests? Oh, wait.

Fuck yeah! Fuck you!

Oh god damn I forgot about that. I tried so desperately to enjoy Bubsy 3D because I loved the original Bubsy on SNES. I got to the part where there were spastic balls of lightning with ADHD blocking off portions of the level and thought I could run past them while they were off having seizures...

Lots of shitty flash and java browser "games" from back in the day, such as RaceWarKingdoms and Runescape. Terrible "games" and terrible playerbases. Whirling, greasy, cheetos-and-pizza-fueled torrents of acne-ridden prepubescent angst and feces. As far as retail games go... Street Legal...

I don't see how this should fly. If companies showed up to a garage sale or second-hand shop demanding (or otherwise trying to obtain) a cut of the profit for selling their used products the universal response would be "Fuck off." Unabashed greed to support a dying business model. Reminds me of...

I don't own a PS3 so I won't be playing this, but I do enjoy laughing at it. JAYYYSUUUNNN! Sega does what Nintendon't.

I'm not sure what could be causing the crashes. No other titles that I've played recently have such issues. I was getting really wrapped up in it, but the last time it crashed I lost over an hour's worth of progress and the aftertaste of that was too sour for me to want to keep playing. Glad you...

I was playing BioShock 2, but it still has that fucking horrendous autosave from the first one where it only saves at the beginning of a section, chapter or whatever. On top of that, it likes to crash every 1-2 hours for me. Maybe I'm just spoiled with autosaves that are, you know, useful, but...

I'm curious about whether or not there are diagonal walking animations.

Yeah, hence no real multitasking and having to rely on the app store for programs. Unless you jailbreak it or whatever. Funny thing about the presentation is that Jobs derided netbooks as slow (pretty true) having low-quality displays (my Samsung NC10 disagrees) and being limited to "PC...

This game ate my weekend. Twice.

Ah yes, the carrot and stick business model. Buy the second-generation iPad! It has a camera this time! Apple innovates again! It doesn't have any USB ports but it does have support for USB through a proprietary connector - the same one that you use to connect it to a keyboard or whathaveyou...

Ah, it does. I missed that somehow. Regardless, I couldn't put it in my pocket to enjoy tunes on the go, and the rest of the limitations still make it a steaming turd. 3.5mm headphone jack is no savior here. :P
