Talk of the Day

[Jordan5]

That explains it, on any grading system 32 is pretty high :lol:

[Steel Sparkle]

i was never a fan of Celsius. 32 sounds nice and cold but it's like 80+ in F. It feels so misleading to me.

[Zero One]

Kelvin masterrace.


(also Celsius is way better than Fahrenheit what are you talking about)

[siddhartha__]

Kelvin Rankine masterrace.

[Jordan5]

Kelvin masterrace.

What ZeroOne said. Kelvin is the standard unit in which to measure temperature and Celsius is just a shifted scale so freezing water is at 0. The change in temperature of 1 Kelvin is the same as a change of 1 Celsius, yet for a change in 1 Fahrenheit it's 5/9 kelvin. There are no advantages to its obscurity :nope:

[Quietus]

Absolutely. Fahrenheit is only good for button-mashing thriller games. Kelvin is the most practical from a scientific viewpoint, but Celcius is obviously used for good reason, though even that gets fiddly when you factor in that it's main measuring points (freezing, boiling, etc.) vary according to things like distance above sea level (yay, boil water atop Everest at just 71°C). Interestingly enough, while I'm in a useless fact mode, Everest should actually be pronounced as Eve-rest, since that was the guy's name (of course, it's now accepted as Ever-est). :study:

There are no advantages to its obscurity :nope:

It's not obscure in places where everyone uses it. I'd love to see US switch to metric, but for all practical purposes F and C work equally well. That 0 is freezing and 100 is boiling (at one atmosphere) is a rather minor convenience, even in scientific applications.

[Quietus]

It's not obscure in places where everyone uses it.

...and 80% of those places are mostly obscure. :heheh:

[FelixWright]

Just got Crackdown and Crackdown 2! Can't wait to give them a try tomorrow, mainly Crackdown 2 since I have a soft copy of the first game. Hype for Crackdown 3!

[Quietus]

I was going to comment about the included spider web, but the OCD part of me is wincing at the different box covers. It would be nice if console manufacturers would issue guidelines for publishers to stick to, so we all have a nice, neat row. :stern:

Metroid is now 30 years old!

[Steel Sparkle]

Happy anniversary Metroid. Speaking of Metroid. AM2R comes out in less than 2 hrs!!

[Dark-SA-X]

Metroid is now 30 years old!

Here is the man that started it all back in my 80's years, even though I don't know the man I feel bad that he had to die like that.
if he would have been alive he'd be 76 or so, once I get my hack straighten out I'll think I'll use his name as the nintendo presents intro.

Just to pay proper respects.

[FelixWright]

It took me around five hours and eleven minutes to beat AM2R with 99% item completion. I'm losing my mind trying to figure out where the last item is. I have SR-388 completely mapped out excepting wherever this thing may be.

So yeah, I've been busy this past week, working on my own interpretation of the Green Brinstar Theme:

This is my way to celebrate Metroid's 30th Anniversary :^_^:
Also, I hope you don't mind a bit of artistic freedom, I tried to stay mostly faithful tho.  :wink:

Enjoy! :awesome:

[Scooterboot9697]

Sounds awesome! Green Brinstar has always been my favorite track.

I'm half tempted to put this in my engine for shits and giggles. :lol:

[SlyPork]

Been working on my pen drawings/sketches a bit lately. Quite proud of some of the latest results so I figured I'd share.

[spoiler=warning large picture][/spoiler]

[Quietus]

I think your drawings rock. :^_^:

[DSO]

I watched Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV last night and it was the most enjoyment I've gotten out of a film this year.

[Grimlock]

I think your drawings rock. :^_^:

Yes, the subject matter and execution is quite solid.  :wink:

Neat. This would make a great StepMania chart... Can I borrow/use this? (Completely free of course. It's for a rhythm game.)

2 days late, but RIP Gene Wilder, the original Willy Wonka.



Will be missed

[SpoOkyMagician]

@Black Falcon: Sorry, I couldn't resist... (I am a rhythm gamer. It was too good to pass up.)

Now do it on a real dance mat, and I'll be super impressed. :grin:

Rest in peace AM2R

Nintendo of America, Inc. has filed a takedown request under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). I received the request on my personal email, so I'm complying with their requests.

There will be no more AM2R updates, and no more releases under any platform.

Thank you for the support during all these years.
