Spyro (1st One) I used to LOVE the spyro series, except for everthing past 3 sucked. Number 2 i beat 99.9% through.

Then I remember playing a Street Fighters and Power Rangers game for the SNES. Those were the good ol days when games were accualy designed to be difficult... and fun.

Soon after I got into the whole Pokemon and Megaman series too.

It's quite funny that one can guess someone's approximate age by looking at the games listed, be it the Quake III or Age of Empires playing youngsters (15-20) or the Pacman, Pitfall generation (30+, or very close to it).

The more I'm thinking about the '80s and early '90s games, the more I appreciate them, compared to nowadays 3D top seller or other graphics intensive multi-million dollar products. New games just aren't fun anymore, as most of the efforts have been put into visual effects and profits, not fun, gameplay or stability.

There used to be a time when games shipped on a single-sided 5.25" floppy and bugs couldn't be patched through online updates or needed half a dozen fixes to be playable.

I definantly agree with that, enouwee. Im in the AoE Generation, but the games back then were almost all made to have great gameplay. And in all honesty, we used to all think the visuals back then were awsome :p When I was into Pokemon and version "Yellow" came out (1st color and graphicly improved Pokemon game) I almost shit myself. The platformers back then were the best too. Now when they design games, you never, or rarely, see something that you try 100 times at and still cant get past it and then you strive more and more until you win. THATS how games should be.

One modern game that had a really nice example of that is Kingdom Hearts (First one). The final bosses and hidden bosses such as Ice Titan and Sephiroth were some of the best boss battles I've seen in modern day games. But even in KH2 they killed all of it. Even the hidden bosses werent much harder than the regular ones.

I just wish games were like the ones we all used to play. When I think back, the experience and feeling of accomplishment when you played those hard games was jsut so much more addicting and fufilling in the end.

Hell, how do you people remember what were you playing at 2-3 years? o_O I was playing pinball at 5-6 lol :eek:...

Hey now, some of these games can make an impact on yeh.

First few games I played was Jazz Jackrabbit, Warcraft: Orcs and Humans, Doom, Megaman 2, and Super Mario Bros. 3. I remember ALL of them vividly, even though most of those I haven't played in at least 5 years!

My first games were both on N64:
Legend Of Zelda Ocarina of Time (I know were the TriForce is)
Super Mario 64(Has a secret room somewhere on top of the castle)
Man I love the old games, so much better and have so many secrets which are better that pointless glitches and cheats. I wish they still made games like them. Zelda Twilight Princess wood be close if they didn't kill all the beta stuff. And to come see my theory go to:http://www.thehelper.net/forums/showthread.php?t=98732 and post your comments.

    How can you tell the difference between real traffic and indexing or AI generation bots?
  • The Helper The Helper:
    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
