Yeah, there are GUIs for it, but in my research—and my experience trying them—they’re very unstable and unreliable. I couldn’t even get M64Py to work without crashing. Under ordinary circumstances, I’d assume I’d done something wrong, but with so much talk about how the GUIs aren’t very good I chalked it up to the Read more

Interesting, I didn’t know about this release. What’s so great about it? Read more

Not true. Project64 2.2 was released in April of this year. Read more

Hmm, you’re right, I’ll make a note. The 1.6 installer is clean according to VirusTotal, though the 2.2 version has some adware bundled, which is likely why it’s throwing that error. Read more

Playing online requires a certain old fork of Project64 called Project64k, which supports a netplay software called Kaillera. Last time I tried it, this YouTube video got me up and running. It worked pretty well! Read more

The refurbished controllers I’ve seen are usually only $25-35. Read more

There are a few different “remakes” out there. I hear they’re just okay. If you want the best, you’ll want to get a refurbished original. Lukie Games refurbs and sells them, though they don’t have a ton of stock, so you have to wait for the ones you want and then pounce on them. I think DK Oldies also sells refurbs. Read more

I totally get the big screen thing, but I think it’s really weird that big screens have come at the expense of smaller screens. Why do ALL phones have to be big? It’s really frustrating! I don’t think that vast a majority of people prefer big phones that it’s all we should have. Read more

To every point I say: damn skippy. You can pry my 720p, off-contract 2013 Moto X from my cold, dead hands. Read more

After trying a few different nose hair trimmers and hating most of them, I’m with you. Grooming scissors all the way. Read more

Not weird. I hate iTunes with a burning, firey passion. Read more

Actually, as long as you have your device backed up to iTunes, you should be able to load it on any iOS device later on. I still have apps that were pulled from the App Store YEARS ago on my new iPad. Read more

Me too, but only for annotations—so this won’t affect me too much. Grab the installer while you still can and put it in a safe place so you’ll always have the app! Read more

I wouldn’t say “the same”—there are still a fair amount of changes—but most of them aren’t as controversial as the changes in A New Hope. Read more
