Showtime! 2006 was Castlevania's 20th Anniversary, so let's see how Konami celebrated with their second entry for the Nintendo DS. Let's look back on Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin!

so yeah, they did lose my package
I found scurge hive complete in box for a great price, and it's gone
i had to buy another copy somewhere else that was 15€ more expensive, oh well

I also now learned that the YEAH sample is a stock one and not a custom sound like I thought
feels so weird learning about this after so many years of hearing it

One thing I recently found out about Rayman 1 (PS1) is that the YEAH jingle syncs with the animation in the PAL version but not in the NTSC version
I found it strange cuz I'm pretty sure they were targeting NTSC speeds with this game?

I still have no clue how some people look at N.Sane Trilogy and confidently say it looks better
this isn't even just an unfortunate screenshot
comparing anything with the originals will make Nsane look very limp

I'm afraid the original is artistically better in every way

now if only they could fix the weird ghosting afterimage issue chaos theory has, that would be cool
the only workaround is changing resolution (and changing it back if you prefer the previous) and you have to do it for every level

So, Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow randomly shadow dropped on Steam. Unfortunatelly this re-release has Ubisoft Connect DRM and there's no widescreen support

>>HOWEVER<<

They fixed the shadow rendering issue on modern systems

if this will end well, I'll just sell the Street for very cheap
a shame cuz i really like the screen since it has no ghosting
but those buttons and analogs are squeaky and hard to press/slide

ok i hate this psp for 3D games
but i didn't specify it's a PSP Street
i do have a fat PSP laying around but I can't mod it because no battery
i tried the buttons and they feel decent, less rough
so i ordered a battery and I'll see how it fares
I'll just have to deal with ghosting and it being pink

gamemaker in particular is really weird with performance
and the moment you're trying to port a gamemaker game to console, that's when the true pain starts
