Ouya anyone? Massive hype, massive letdown and recently filed for bankruptcy. 

 

 

Ah, good for you  :) but for me when I play those games it feels different. Not like when I played it as a kid.... The "Feeling" is just different.

 

its different but I still enjoy the classics :D I love all gaming tbh no matter if its my original gameboy or a brand new PC game

AMD is an acronym for Advanced Micro Devices, so it's really 3 words. :)

 

NOT all initialisatoions are acronyms.

Almost by definition an acronym is only one word (no matter how many letters it has).

 

An acronym is (or rather is pronounced as) one word made from the initials of its parent words (e.g. Radar, Sonar,Laser etc) an initialisation is a string of of the first letters of its parent words ( e.g B.M.I. [body mass index] F.B.I. [Federal Bureax of Investigation] D.V.D. [Digital Video Disk] ).

 

Due to the evolving nature of the English language both acronyms and initialisations are begining to be called acronyms, perhaps in the future this will be correct, but for now acronyms and initialisations are different

The fact that apple sold millions of their smart watches proves that it's been a huge success.

Compared to WinME, Win95 was the pinacle of software development.

I honestly liked windows me and used it for years. I found it decent as long as you had decent drivers and supporting software *cough cough * vista had that as well while it was never it was never a main driver pc I owned that said

Why? The card still performs as well/faster than a 960.

The cards keep their own up...

They made no progress on their chips in 3 years. Overclocking is not a progress. That from the only competitor to Nvidia is a fail in my book.

Have you used one? Six AA batteries and it only last about 30 mins if lucky (on my old one).

I hope I eventually come across one. I received one for my 5th birthday, with Sonic 2 and Tetris-like game. I was bad at both games. Sonic 2, I didn't understand how to beat the first boss and puzzle game had this genie character that laughed at you when you were defeated. It really pissed me off. I had a wall plug, and almost never used batteries on that thing because of how fast it ate them.

Sonic 2 on Game Gear has a difficult first boss for everyone.  I to this day cannot get passed that due to Sonic moving too much which causes him to move back into those stupid rocks.  It's terrible design and programming, not your age.

I wasn't aware, I am glad it wasn't just me. I had beat Sonic 2, 3, S&K and was so frustrated with the fact that I couldn't beat the first boss in Sonic 2 for Game Gear.

Windows Phone anyone? With around 2.5% market share, it qualifies.
