    How obsolete are optical discs? Do you still use them?

    I still put optical drives in my workstations. I like to run linux liveCDs on WORM media for secure web browsing or checking the contents of hard drives I don't trust. I also still burn discs. Maybe 10-15 a year. They're mainly for liveCDs or moving files to suspect computers. I don't use them...

    Best SNES game?

    Mega Man X. The movement in that one was just perfect. With a little bit of practice you could dodge/ evade pretty much anything. Fighting bosses was almost like a dance of sorts. There was rarely a 'correct' weapon for any given situation. You could make many different ones work for taste...

    Can't boot Debian ISO off Zalman VE200 drive

    Debian ISO have had a neat feature for the past couple of years. You can simply 'cat' them to a USB flash drive and boot from that. I could see whatever magic they use to achieve that possibly confusing an optical disc emulator.

    Dreamcast Games

    The Dreamcast supposedly has the best version of Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver. It's a quality Zelda-like with monster-style vampires. Crystal Dynamics worked on this series before they took over Tomb Raider.

    Have you ever killed equipment due to static discharge?

    I've never damaged a piece of computer with a static disharge in 20+ years of tinkering, at least that I'm aware of. I do ground myself when working around ICs however. I don't feel left out. I destroy good hardware with different methods. ;)

    Dark Forces has a flashlight. The batteries don't recharge. :O

    Why are they called motherboards?

    I don't know for sure but here is my guess. In the olden days, the core parts of a computer were much more discrete and were spread over several cards that were plugged into a backplane. All boards were of similar size and plugged into the same slots. Now most of the essential parts of a...

    what if Sega had patented the idea of using off the shelf components?

    The Colecovision would have been prior art.

    nVidia Shield / Handheld question

    I have a PSP-3000 with custom firmware and have played dumps of some of my PSX games on it. There's lots of obsolete information out there. Here's a relatively up to date guide on installing custom firmware from a dedicated PSP homebrew site: "PSP Custom Firmware for Dummies"...

    will you buy new Final fantasy games ?

    You're not alone. Back in my SNES days I appreciated Chrono Trigger for being slick and polished but I much preferred FF6's campaign.

    How long have you been "PC" gaming?

    We got our first PC clone in 1987, a Leading Edge Model D. It could play a mean game of Digger.

    will you buy new Final fantasy games ?

    I don't about FFXV just yet, but I really wanted to get FF type 0. Apparently Squenix doesn't want our money. :(

    What are you guys using your old PC's for?

    I keep around an old Dell Dimension Pentium 3. Windows 98SE capability and legacy ports come in handy every once in while.

    What PC game would you play on this computer?

    I imagine that hardware would be fine for pretty much any game that would run on a Pentium 3. You can do a lot with that. Arx Fatalis Jedi Outcast/ Academy Soldier of Fortune 2 Unreal Gold Half Life Deus Ex Morrowind Giants: Citizen Kabuto Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver maybe GTA: Vice City maybe...
