since people repeatedly ask how to play this game, I thought I'd mention Residual.
It is an emulation tool sister project to ScummVM. It is possible to play and complete Grim Fandango using that tool currently.

yes, windows 7 will recognize a usb floppy drive. but no, this game was never released on floppy. the double-cd version was he only release.
Above they say they ask themselves whether it feels too long here or too fast here... I would say one way it gets WAY too slow is all the missions where someone tells you to go talk to someone else, and that person tells you to talk to someone else or go get a certain item, and on and on.
The loading time is 20 - 30 second to walk into a building, then you talk, then 20-30 second load time to walk out, then 20-30 seconds to fast travel, then 20-30 second to walk into the building you just fast traveled to, just to talk to someone and they tell you to go elsewhere. Then you spend 20-30 seconds leaving the building and 20-30 seconds fast traveling to the new location, and then 20-30 friggin seconds to walk into the location you just traveled too.
It is very feasible to have a conversation for 15 seconds, load for over a minute, have another 15 second convo, and then load for another minute.
I sit down for an hour or 2 to get some missions done, and loading uses up so much of my time that I'm lucky to knock out one or 2 quests tops.. Either design your missions to take into account all the bloody loading (and dont have you popping in and out of locations nonstop), or fast travel INSIDE locations so you at least don't have two loads (one to travel and one to enter).
All this articles bitching aside, I think he just wants a bloody hidden dungeon thats not on the map and requires a venn diagram to find. give him that and it will be the best Zelda since Zelda was invented, hah.

I was just gonna call the guy a douchebag and go on my merry way, but this capture my thoughts so much better.
spot on. I used to think there was some hidden meaning in Tim Rogers articles until I realized they were haphazard rants focused on everything Tim.
In my response to this article above I came to the same conclusion - this guy doesn't want a Zelda game at all.
I find it hard to give much credit to any article that simply states every new iteration of a game series is worse than the first.
Most of the complaints levied against the direction of the zelda series could easily be directed against the original zelda.
Ultimately it seems the author is proud of himself for finding a hidden dungeon and hasn't felt that sense of satisfaction again since that pivotal moment, and thus concluded that all games since then must suck.
It also seems to me that the authors main problem is with the zelda formula (which if it differentiated too vastly from would be lambasted by fans as not being enough like a 'zelda' game). So in that case, instead of expecting Zelda to meet the expectations you have laid out for it, maybe it is time to seek out a new series, or go and develop your own dream game rather than complaining that no one else has made it yet.
Just because someone says "women want" does not mean they believe they are speaking for all women. But there are accepted things that a majority of women *want* or find attractive. Not all guys like the same thing, yet if you put a super model next to a butter-face you will find that *most* men will state they find the super model more attractive. Butterface will still have her fans, but it will not be the majority. It will likely be in the extreme minority, but I'll leave the stats to someone else to figure out. So if I then say "Men want supermodels compared to butterface", I am very aware I am not speaking for EVERY man, just a majority. And when talking about groups of people all we can ever do is talk about the majority.
A guy could have every trait listed above and still have a very healthy and successful relationship, but he would be an exception to the rule.
So either you are purposefully taking a line like "women want" to mean all women in order to create a non-issue, or you think in absolutes and honestly believe it refers to "all women", in which case you simply aren't cut out for conversations such as this.
I never said he had to kill himself. He could always ask a friend to help.
lol. the number of assumptions and straw man arguments you make aren't really worth responding to, so I'll keep this simple. No one ever said that having the above traits makes you unattractive to everyone. Actually, I specifically stated that they *generally* make you unattractive.. And that is the plain and simple truth. Some things are less attractive than others. You seem to think that you can take any combination of looks, hobbies, and habits and they are all equal. That is naive, ignorant, and just plain fucking stupid. Some people are considered attractive, some aren't. All this article has done is draw a parallel between traits that generally fall on the unattractive side.
And for the record, you are the piece of shit who is judging the girls surveyed in this article (and everyone else who has responded to it). I'm stating simple rules of biological attraction. You are quite entitled to believe that you can dictate what others find attractive. Or just a fucking idiot. not sure which.
taking this a bit seriously, aren't you buddy boy? The simple fact is that while everyone has at least a few traits that wouldn't lead to being idolized by the opposite sex, the combination of the above traits would generally be not attractive at all. Do you have a problem with that? Do you have a problem with the fact that women do not find men who act like children, talk like children, have make believe relationships, dance like women (an idol routine would be a feminine dance just in case you were naive on that point), and singing anime songs (which generally sound like something preschoolers wrote) to be attractive? Why *should* they find this attractive? You might as well start bitching about the fact that women don't find scrawny guys with mullets and world wrestling federation wife beaters on attractive, because those are all lifestyle choices as well - but if you are so ignorant as to dress that way, then you have to be prepared for rejection.
It is not "behind the times" for a women to actual desire a man who acts like a man. But hey, the longer it takes you to figure that out, the less competition there is on the dating scene for everyone else.
At no point was there ever a social contract that said a guy can act like as much of a child as he likes and women are still required to find them attractive. If you thought you signed up for that world, you may wan't to consider a hasty death and on the next reincarnation maybe you'll strike gold and find that plane of existence. The one we currently live on is judgmental as it is based on biological response mechanisms to alpha males.
hint - eradicating your masculinity by acting\talking like a child is a sure fire to not get women in nearly all parts of the world.
simply believing there is no god is not a religion. A quick look at the definition of religion and you'll see that not believing in a god does not fit the criteria.
Definition 1: the service and worship of God or the supernatural (2) : commitment or devotion to religious faith or observance
Well, that's not an atheist.
Definition 2: a personal set or institutionalized system of religious attitudes, beliefs, and practices
There is nothing institutionalized about not believing in a god. There are no practices associated with being atheist either that are common to any large group of people. Being an atheist is generally a very personal thing, not a institutionalized group mentality.
Definition 3: a cause, principle, or system of beliefs held to with ardor and faith
There is no ardor and/or faith in simply believing something is not real. Nor is it a 'cause' or a 'system of beliefs'. I suppose you could call it a principle, but hell, on principle I think pop tarts taste like crap. So if I believe that with enough ardor is it suddenly faith? No, it is just a belief still.
People have all sorts of beliefs or lack of beliefs, faith and lack of faith, and that doesn't make each of those their own religion.
Sometimes it seems to me that those who call atheism a religion do it just to make themselves feel as though everyone has SOME sort of religion rather than admitting that it is 100% absent in a certain percentage of the population's life.
it does seem that the more military you build, the more aggressive the AI gets. So even if your military is defensive, it can cause them to get pissy and attack.
I didn't realize that kotaku was merely a linking service now, or that you enjoyed giving rimjobs.
