  • Some Slight Changes to the Forums

    @jSnively is the practice of banning users for violations still in effect? I have not seen one banned user since the switch to this new layout. Benjamin Frost was permanently banned because of his incessant hatred towards the Apple Watch, so why hasn't anyone else? 

    Criticism is one thing, and bashing is another. I kinda like sog35 when he's not being obtuse, but until he gets a slap on the hand for his TC bashing rhetoric he is going to continue.

    This is a great change!

    Not that it ever stopped me from posting, but I actually had more dislikes than likes! :#

    Certain posters would constantly go and dislike any and all of my posts, just because they were from me. It hardly made a difference what I wrote.

    I could post a factual quote from an encyclopedia, and Boom! Automatic dislike from one of the usual crowd!

    Not anymore! B)

    Now posters have only 4 choices when it comes to my posts! They can either ignore it, or they can like it, or they can funny it or they can find it informative!

    Sounds good to me! :|
    Or be censored like me! But, only the outrageous righty fanatics are allowed to prevail, those that stick up for good are held to a different standard than you and your buddies.
    What buddies?

  • Nintendo's 'Super Mario Run' for iPhone requires a persistent internet connection for play

    Yes I've played Super Mario Bros., and the D-Pad did more than control the direction, it initiated the running. Super Mario Run is essentially Rayman with Mario as the character. The uninnovative game play, the price, and the need for a persistent internet connection is enough that I won't even consider buying this game.
    You honestly don't see how having an on-screen D-pad overlaying  the game to initiate running on an iPhone makes for a poorer experience?
    I definitely see that, however it is quite amusing that 20 year old game play is the best way to go with state of the art technology in 2016/2017. 
    1) According to your own comments, it's not "20 year old game play" because this Mario will run without user input.

    2) Just because the wheel was invented 6000 years ago, doesn't mean Elon Musk is against using it in a Tesla.
    1.Like I said the game play is very much like Rayman which was first introduced in 1995. 

    2. The wheel comes from a timeless design created by nature. It is an unfair comparison.

    Different connotations. A mobile device, especially for communications always needed some sort of connectivity, whether cellular, or mobile Internet. Whereas mobile gaming devices games have never historically needed a persistent Internet connection to be playable.
    You need an internet connection to play Words with Friends and that's been a hugely popular game for many years now.
    An Internet connection is vital to the game play of Words with Friends, but not for a runner. I could understand if it needed to be connected once a day for security purposes, but I believe a persistent connection is too much.
