    I remember that in the PS1 version, me and a friend would just mash by laying down the controller and using two separate fingers for X and O. Some of the games required rhythmic mashing, too.

    Never played it but that is what I would do too. With the N64 controller rest it on your lap, hold it on the left side for support and then use two fingers on your right hand to mash the buttons. 

    And I guess hold the controller upside down if you're left-handed.

    I had no idea Nicholas Hoult was playing Lex Luther. Interesting casting choice - i'm curious as to how he plays it.

     

    Loads of stuff going on in that trailer. Doesn't feel like a superman movie - not bland enough! Hopefully that means it's good.

    Oh that's who it was thanks. I was thinking "who is that..." But never bothered looking it up. 

    Once again you saved the day.

    The online features of Japan Pro Golf Tour 64 are really poorly documented, with some places stating that it had online play, online leaderboards, and the like. However, the Network Competition mode could have worked in any regular N64 game. When you open it, you’re prompted with a password entry. Entering a valid password will then load up a specific course and settings. When you’re finished, you’ll be given a password which you would then enter into an external website to submit your score – the game itself never connects online.

    I wonder if this is a change in semantics over time. I could see in 2000 playing a game and entering the score (manually) online could be classed as "online play"/"online leaderboards" in that "it can't possibly get any more technologically advanced than this!"

    There might be other games from the time that prove me wrong, but I could see the meaning of those phrases adapting with technology. Kind of like how "high speed" internet used to mean something we'd now consider slow and thinking the N64 graphics would never be beaten.

  4. I was listening to PSA this morning and they said a majority (can't remember the exact percentage) of Americans are happy with their health insurance even though many said they'd had problems with it and all I could think was "how?! Why?! How?!"

    I presume it comes from a combination of mistrust in the government (any government) to do it properly and "that thar is communism!" kind of thing but even so, it's so baffling to me. 

  5. Has anyone else watched A Man on the Inside

    It's billed as a comedy and it definitely has comedic moments but one of those "more heart then belly laughs" kind of shows. 

    Was interesting to see Stephanie Beatriz in something else as I knew she wasn't like Rosa (nor sounded like her) but other than an episode of One Day at a Time this is all I'd seen her in and she was very different. A much warmer, more caring character. She did a really good job in the role. 

    Think I'll give it a rewatch at some point.
