I wonder if there is something in our heads that makes us think graphics are better than they really are when we first play it. I remember thinking that the graphics for FF7 were stunning, and now they are obviously..dated
Pattern recognition is what I'm guessing. The same way a well drawn and painted artwork can look real, even though it's very loosely done.

that makes sense, still weird. Human brains are some weird organs aren't they?

I actually wasn't even referencing play quality. Just graphics and "realness" quality. But yeah. Some of my favorite games are older ones. Mario 3 and Earthbound will always be in my top picks along with Mario Kart 64.

I know I'm late to the dance (don't like to dance anyway.:) But I just finished Bioshock Infinite.  Whoa!  That was quite the ending.  I had been planning to replay it, but since I will always end up offing myself, what's the point.  Or if you let the credits roll, I get to spend a life with Anna.  Which is okay.  But I must admit I loved the story.

If something is the shit, it means is awesome, if there's no the, it means its a horrid, terrible piece of literal shit.

Which means???
oh... Sorry lol

If the word shit is preceded with the word, "the" or "my", it is similar to saying it's "amazing" or "incredible" or another positive word.... but even more of an extremely positive way... so saying "That game is the shit" is even a much more positive term than "that game is amazing"

Cursing 101 with PickelledEggs. Class has concluded. Next week we will focus on cunt and prick and how they are underused in the English language :lol:
