1) It's quite awesome.

2) It'd be at least twice as awesome if there was a freaking auto-fire option. At the very least letting the player just hold the button down to fire. Neither my mouse nor my poor hand can deal with that click-every-shot nonsense anymore

Tinkering and the non-Joppa merchants -- the grit gate and jungle-town ones usually carry a 150+ stack. Mostly tinkering, though. Lead slug is a tinker 1 recipe and brews up 50 bullets for one bit. There's cell using weapons (Laser pistol, electrobow/laser rifle, higher tier stuff.) as well. Chem and [energy] cells are both tier 1 items, too.

TD's the, uh, first one. On the Nintendo 64, yes. I was kinda' expecting Tiberian Sun, heh. Though, any particular reason for going with the N64 version? The PC one's entirely free now...

As an aside, I'd absolutely love to watch a M.A.X. LP. Wouldn't be able to contribute to in-charge stuff, seeing as I've never actually made it past the first mission (Technical difficulties, mostly), but watching someone play through it would be neat.

E: Looked at some pics of the N64 version over on Gamefaqs. It... it's actually uglier than the original? How is this possible?

No, but reading that made me think: Max Payne 3, starring John McCain.

They did for a while. No clue if the newer stuff still does, but it's a pretty common FPS option.

Anyway, mild curiosity is kinda' peaked. What do the folks here think, when they think "dead?" Are we talking complete and total lack of any development, AAA-mainstream or otherwise, at all -- even to the point stuff like DF and roguelike-level development no longer exists? Simply a lack of continued growth? Th'end of large scale (AAA, etc.) development for the system? Th'actual ceasing of personal computers entirely as a system? What level of dead are we talking here?

I'd kinda' like to see th'first Tiberian-whatever C&C done.

Alternately, one of the custom campaigns for SC. There's that lawlworthy 5 (I think. Memory's fuzzy, and it's been years.) parter that starts off as a Ranma 1/2 crossover and ends with a super-battlecrusier-thing

Also, DoW runs considerably better on this computer than SC does -- mild slow down versus multi-second stutter and general unresponsiveness/nonfunctioning, so it's entirely possible a comp that SC brings to its knees could run DoW.

If that were true, the PC98 system would have been the dominate gaming system since its inception... or at least second best.

Fair warning: There's a lot of porn games for consoles. Thanks to stuff like the Wii, Move, and Kinect, they're starting to create, uh, interesting controllers for playing them. Porn don't seem to have much effect on th'longevity (at least commercially) of a gaming system. Which is kinda' strange, considering how much influence it's got on every bloody thing else.

PC gaming will never die because, yanno', consoles are more or less just specialized, somewhat gimped, computers. Give it another few decades or thereabouts and the difference between PC and console will be entirely nominal
