has anyone else noticed that you do not always receive new posts in your unread posts tab? I was going through threads trying to find one from earlier this year and probably 1/8 or so entire threads I have never even seen.

Sonic Mania is awesome, guys! This is the game that should've have been released on the Genesis rather than Sonic 3D Blast.

I know people like to say that games like Sonic Rush and Sonic Advance are Genesis-like Sonic titles. And for the basic gameplay, it is.

But this is different. This is seriously just like a long-lost Sega Genesis Sonic title. It looks, sounds, and feels like one. And it's amazing!

[burningdoom]

I think I got a repro, damnit!

Does anyone else own Final Fantasy VI Advance? Does it ask you what language you want to the game to be in before it boots? Because none of the other FF Advance games do this.

That sucks if I did, because I paid the normal, non-repro price for it.

A lot of gba games ask for language on launch.

Also, just open it up and look.

Do you get this screen? If so, that's the EU version.

[burningdoom]

Yes, that's the screen. I just found it odd since my copies of FF IV & V Advance don't have that.

I just launched both the US and EU roms of the game and only the EU rom loaded that screen.

[burningdoom]

Well, at least that means it's not a repro. Good.

[ignition365]

Well, at least that means it's not a repro. Good.

That doesn't mean it's not a repro.

If the cart has the ESRB rating on the sticker, and it's the EU rom, it's probably a repro.

[burningdoom]

Nope, no ESRB rating. And after you mentioned it, I noticed the code on it ended in "EUR".

So, I just read a story that a baby dolphin died due to people taking selfies with it.

There are some days that I really, really, really hate people.

Just got my CE in today, can't wait to play it later!

Is it the one where it was out of the water, and instead of helping it people were just taking pictures? I saw that a few years ago 

Regardless, anyone who thinks of a picture before helping a living thing just makes me feel sick.

[burningdoom]

I'm literally about to start Final Fantasy VI. It's the next handheld game on my play list. I have managed to stay away from spoilers all these years. But today, I'm watching the IGN show, and they do a Top 10 RPG list, and spoils a big part of the story...


SPOILER FOR ANYONE ELSE THAT HASN'T PLAYED IT



...the bad guy wins halfway through.

A lot are just very ignorant of so many things (I hope), I don't know that ignorance is grounds of misanthropy. It's frustrating, sure. But I can't say that I hate people for not being what they could be. It's what some willfully do, and when decent people look on that really gets me.

You're waaaaay more forgiving. My initial thought at seeing a baby dolphin wouldn't be snap a selfie. I would hope others would have that level of decency.

@ Lady K - I just read it today from my news feed. It must have happened recently-ish.
