There are a few games for CDi like that. All of them were considered pretty bad. They weren't even made by Nintendo, and only exist because of a legal fallout between Philips and Nintendo.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD-i_games_from_The_Legend_of_Zelda_series

So you enjoyed Wand of Gamelon? For me: Super Mario platformers Pokemon Namco Tales series Star Fox Mega Man

Bumping it for Emerald. The story is now finished. See first post.

Zubat and just Zubat. I still haven't played Black and White though!

I prefer them just long enough to explain the controls, items, characters, and introduce the story. No shorter, no longer. Manuals currently are torn between being 5 pages long and not explaining crap, or being too big to fit in the case (see: Xenoblade Chronicles). Most people craving extra details usually end up looking online anyways.

Best way to get a gaming PC is to buy off Newegg and build your own. You end up with the knowledge you need to get into the hobby, while being able to select from quality manufacturers.

Yeah, I know the instance with Diablo II. They had Open Battle.net, which allowed you to use your single player characters, and (Closed) Battle.net, which stored your characters on their servers. Open Battle.net ran rampant with people who used character edits and hacked items. Locally stored content gave you access to edit values for your items and characters, allowing you to get your skills and weapons to stats that otherwise weren't possible. You could have, say, 99 for any skill, and items that raised those skills another 99, along with armor that gave you 897 defense. Closed Battle.net was a wonderful option for people who wanted to play games legitimately. There was a point when one could trade PC games. Gamestop did allow this at one point, but stopped when heavier DRM was implemented. Older offline games can be activated any amount of times as long as you have the key and disc. Only one game in recent memory, The Witcher 2, lacks DRM (as of the very first patch released for the game.) Your example with Steam is describing how things are currently. In the future, it might become so that saves are stored exclusively via cloud in order to prevent more savvy users from tampering with data. Tampering with savegames has allowed entire consoles to be hacked, if you look up the Twilight Hack on Wii. What I'm saying is, letting things go digital gives them the power and authority to deny customers access to legal purchases. Even if it's just a license, the thought that the license will be worthless a decade down the road is terrifying. I have a console collection spanning from NES to Wii that amounts to almost 700 games. I can safely say that I'll be able to play them until they physically decay, or the circuitry goes beyond repair. It's not the same case with a Steam account.

The way I see it, having nothing but downloadable games would be bad for consumers. This gives publishers complete control over the product. We won't be able to borrow games from friends, rent them, or sell them when we're finished. The lack of competition from the used market will keep prices at $59.99 years from their release, rather than dropping to $39.99 or $19.99 a while down the road. The scariest thing about downloadable games is cloud storage, however. What if every developer decides to stop letting customers store data locally? This may happen, as publishers do not trust their most loyal customers. Blizzard is already doing this with Diablo 3. When cloud servers shut down this could render entire legally purchased games inaccessible to the consumer. Give me a cart or disc any day.

So, anyone else staying up tonight? Can't wait to see Tom officially back in action.

Hello everypony! I was just introduced to the brony fanbase a few weeks ago by member Legendary Emerald. Like most other members, I was open-mindedly skeptical at first, but found I could not stop watching the series after watching a few episodes. My favorite characters are Fluttershy and Gummy. I'm still watching the series for the first time, and am trying to pace it so that I don't finish the first two seasons too long before the season 3 premiere. I'm planning to write a fanfic once I've seen enough episodes to know all of the characters well enough. Also, it's a breath of fresh air to see people getting into a cartoon series such as this. I used to think people of our generation were too closed minded to enjoy anything besides Family Guy and violent action movies.
