That's not how the regular version of GAF links things. You need to add www and /forum/ to the link, like so: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1158107 of course I'm beaten
If you bought the games on Steam, your account page should tell you this. Otherwise, it can at least give you the date. You'd probably have to go on isthereanydeal to see the price range on that date.
It's $27.38, and I don't think they have a check like Nuuvem does, so you should be safe to order if you want. I haven't used the site though, so someone correct me if I'm wrong.
No 1080p?
Way to ignore PC's most popular resolution at time of your game release, Squeenix.

USD 28, we don't know if it'll be that discounted during the Winter Seal, but if the price is fine for you, just ue google translate or whatevs and you're good to go I guess

Weird how we're so close to Christmas and there are still no good deals.
That would be a good thing considering it's a pixel art based game. Except one teeny little issue is that none of them are the correct rendering resolution. Everyone I've tried scales the background art incorrectly. What is a shame is that while that is scaled via nearest neighbour the sprites are indeed filtered and scaled using what is posibily bilinear interoplation. To further compound my hassles it's been brought over (christ maybe even developed in the first place) using the QT framework so the OGL dll file is one that isn't supported by the popular library call converters so can't get GeDoSaTo working to see if brute force would work.
To be fair it's better than V by a fair old way and although full screen is just borderless windowed it does scale up to any resolution (horribly on the character sprites I might add). Looked reasonable at 640x480 windowed (actually 640x426) but not everyone is going to play like that. I get what SEE Toby_C meant now seeing as how the backgrounds are scaled but not at the correct ratio and resampled via nearest you get a fair old amount of pixel clashing. Also Toby is you happen to see this and are on GAF please send me a PM about the issues I've tried to email you. Thanks!

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
You can also press Alt+Enter to go full screen if you didn't launch that way. But of course this just causes stretching.

Bethesda is a bunch of filthy liars. "Oh this workshop thing, it's totally optional, totally. You don't even have to touch it once
I just spent like 20 minutes searching for fucking ceramic that I just couldn't find anywhere near the said site. Other workshops were full of that though.
except for the main quest for Railroad and pretty much for every Minuteman mission and shit

Rockstar's practically giving GTA5 away on Steam... By their standards, at least.

Fur Fighters (which is an excellent game, btw) might be coming to Steam at some point: https://twitter.com/DoctorMorbius/status/677165422161080320
I tweeted at one of the devs and they answered
I own the first one on the SNES and always liked it... for some odd reason I still remember one of the passwords... "MKBRLN"...

Is Battle Realms in Steam a limbo? Also I wonder why they never added SW Galactic Battlegrounds in steam

I loved that game on DC. Bring back toy commander aswell!
i got pretty good seats for the 00:30 one
somehow managed to snag a middle seat middle row ticket for midnight release
I have no idea how. the force is with me
i dunno why we're doing this, none of my friends are big star wars fans (and the one that is isn't going for like two weeks for some unknown reason lol)
just cheat
fallout 4 won't care
it doesn't care about anything you do

Fuck waiting. The internet is already a minefield and only a small amount of people have seen it so far. I might avoid the internet all together tomorrow.

The marketing stranglehold got you. I might be your friend. Then again, my reason is i hate cramped movie theaters. Ehhh kotor2 is about as good as Star Wars stories get imo so im not too eager to see it.
I hate them with all my life
BUT
this is my showing thus far
(green seats is available)
they added it stealthy as fuck so I think people just havent realized yet
also dat theatre size
in takin this pic I just realized 2 people sat right next to me tho. c'monnnn

Best Star Wars experience I ever had was Jedi Outcast and I watched all movies. Doubt the new movies will change much as Abrams managed to put Star Trek from one of my favorite movie franchises into "pass" territory.

Well I've tried for a while but it appears that Final Fantasy VI's main data file (main.obb) is encrypted using the Android API packaging tool jobb. So unfortunately unlike V's release (which appears to be based on and using the file structure from the iOS release) this version is using the Android release which essentially requires the developer to "zip" up extra data such as sprites/movies/sounds/etc into a container file (.obb) which can optionally be encrypted, and it appears that's what they did.
So unfortunately someone smarter than me will have to figure out how to go about doing sprite replacement in this release.

yea i dunno i wasn't planning on do the premiere thing but they ask me i come
hope it's not terrible, i didn't really pay much attention to the trailers or anything
also i always get 3d, i don't even like it that much but u know it makes the cinema feel a bit more special
yeah i just got asked to go with ppl so whatever, i'll go
nothing gross about you should surprise me anymore but you keep defyin it
Hahaha, oh Squenix. I really want a chat with one of their outsourcing devs to ask them is they're sure they know what they're doing. So obviously you want to constrain your aspect ratio in a pixel art game so not to completely ruin everything and that's generally been achieved on their past launches. Of course with FFV featuring arbitrary resolution support you could end up with plenty of rending resolutions and aspect ratios the game really shouldn't support. Fair dos this is done for compatibility and plenty of indie titles do this too (Shovel Knight for example does not scale correctly unless you have a display resolution of a multiple of 400x240) but FFV constrained either the x or y axis and adjusted the resolution to suit. Now with FFVI featuring predefined resolutions you'd expect a little care taken in selecting ones that scale in a linear fashion to preserve the image per each setting and for those who have the unhealthy obsession with filling every bit of space on the screen full screen is an option. But this is what the game has (among others of course).
For the astute among you, notice how every one of them is actually just 720x480 but with the latter 2 window boxed respectively in line with the additional horizontal resolution. So that's 2 resolutions which are just pointless. As a bonus here's this too...720x480
800x480
848x480
Now you can have the authentic PAL experience with a sixth of the screen taken up with letterboxing. Funnily you might recognise 720x480 and 720x576 as yes they're the NTSC and PAL broadcast formats for widescreen content. I wouldn't be surprised if background art is still designed for the non square 256x224 NTSC SNES resolution and then butched horribly by this game. The quest for perfectly scalable pixel art games on PC continues...720x576

That's a pleasant surprise.
thats how we buy tickets to movies in south america damn it
I mean, Lotte's CRT shader (and further improvements upon it, like CRT-easymode, CRT-caligari, etc) exist already...
Squeenix, just bloody render at 256x224 with proper PAR and then just use any of the above to match the display resolution and aspect ratio.
How hard is that?

Nop, this cinema is from my country Venezuela.. at least we have 16 bits seats... XD
My seat is K11..

Do you have pac-man running between seats as well? (Eating those who are late to their seat, perhaps.)
I used to be bothered by spoilers but then I realized knowing something ahead of time doesn't diminish my overall enjoyment it just makes it different.
If I know ahead of time that I'm going to have pizza for dinner I'm still going to enjoy that pizza when I eat it.
So hard next to no one making commercial games does it. But every emulator worth their salt (which these days is pretty much all of them) get this right every time.

I recall the discussion about 'does spoilers fuck with your enjoyment?' here before. I'm firmly in the 'Yes' camp for story based entertainment. Movies, Games, Books, etc.
I get your pizza example, but i'll tell you if I get pizza and I didn't know I was getting pizza....I'm pretty fucking stoked.
