>In your October 1993 issue you said you can't illegally
copy gomes because Nintendo protected them. >Well,
pirate BBS boards hove opened with Super NES gomes.
>You pay $30 a month and you can download 4
megs o day, for an hour af a time, to Super NES
disc drives. My friend does this and gets brand
new games, such as Goal, Japanese Mortal
Kombat, Super Mario All-Stars, etc. These guys are
killing the industry; can Nintendo do anything?
Mark Erjavec
>East Kew, Vic

>Yes. In fact, it's all subject to a court hearing
at the moment. The odds are that the more
well-known BBS boards will eventually be
closed down. The smaller, focal ones will be
harder to police.

Actually, American English is closer to Old English than modern British English is. You guys stole slang words from all over Europe and warped the language, meanwhile American English largely stayed the same since colonial days until just recently.

True, spics will pollute the English language in the US in the future, but right now it's still pretty close to the original thing.

I remember pc gamer sweden writing a bunch of articles pissing off everyone from bethesda to indie devs a few years ago

first they gave fallout 3 a relatively low score (73% or something like that) and when bethesda contacted them about it the boss wrote an article about corruption in game journalism.

Then they wrote an article about pixel art and how it sucked that all indie devs started relying on it

That's not even low for Fallout 3

F3 got average 91 on metacritic. 73 is that low.

Anyone ever read this article about World of Darkness and how the EVE people are cunts?

Games journalism would be in much better shape if there were more things like this where people actually did a bit of investigating.

Maybe I should be clearer in the future. I meant 5/100,000. All 5 of those points go to the art and soundtrack. The writing and gameplay receive negative points, offset by the packaging. It is physically a game.
