You actually don't have to swipe, you can do the "flip motion" since it uses your phones accelerometer

CBS has an app that would do the chirp when you did the "communicator flip"
Perhaps you didn't see the states involved:
Alaska, Louisiana, South Carolina, Utah, Vermont and Virginia
Only ONE of those states "might" be considered anything "lefty" The other 5 are rather conservative. So if anything it is "righty-totalitarian".
the government already had the established right to maintain a standing army.
Actually, it didn't have that right, because there WAS no real national government, and they didn't have the money at that time to maintain or even equip with weapons a large standing army.
The standard practice at that time being "issue a call for volunteers" The second amendment exists because the government didn't have enough money to equip an army so they expected volunteers to bring their own.
We now have a large professional paid army with the best equipment money can buy. If you think the second amendment "militia" is a safeguard against tyrrany, you're wearing a very nice tin hat.
anyone remember Clippy, the animated paper clip in Office that everyone loved?
I see you are making a reference to Clippy, would you like some help with that?
I didn't mind Clippy that much, but I seriously dislked that @#$@#$ Search dog. He was actually dumber than Clippy, if that's possible and seemed to cause a performance hit.
Yes yes we all know how the Johnny come lately xbox-ized dudebro gamers and their PC gamer equivalents, are all about the shooters and hate everything japanese.
And then there's the weeaboos, who hate american games and would refuse to play Fallout 3 or Dragon Age, because they don't have moe fanservice or something.
Everything in moderation. There's good JRPG's, there's good WRPG's...and there's crap in both subgenres
Another project...the character generator rom had something called quarter-block graphics.
You mean PETSCII:

And it's not just quarter blocks, but lines and symbols.
The Famicom/NES predates the Vs. System. The VS. System was based on the Famicom/NES, not the other way around. You might have lived in one of those places that saw VS. systems before the NES was available there.
At some point after Nintendo utterly abandoned the coin-op industry (leaving countless operators flapping in the wind with no new games for their VS system cabinets)
They don't owe you profit. Besides Nintendo did sell a similar system based on the SNES
There might be an explanation. In some parts of the US, there were VS systems in arcades/bowling alleys BEFORE the NES was available there. I saw a VS system with SMB1 before I ever saw an NES in stores. In areas where the NES was launched later, those VS. systems served as good publicity for the NES.
You have shit like Xbox 360, which you are FORCED to pay a perpetual subscription fee in order to use at all, and isn't the PS4 just as bad?
You are misinformed, You don't need a subscription fee to use a Xbox or PS4. You DO need to pay for XBox Live or Playstation Plus if you want to do most, but not all, online multiplayer
For example, you don't need Playstation plus for online multiplayer for Free-to-play games on the PS4 (like war thunder or warframe, or DCUO), or for fee-based MMO's (FFXIV) or games that use "send a turn/PBEM style" multiplayer
You also don't need PS+ for single player, media use, netflix, spotify, etc etc.
That's right, Sony said "2 free cheap games" and everyone said "oooooh shiny" and back to the status quo.
It was more than just 2 games...well it depended on what services you used and how long you'd been using PSN. IIRC I got 2 PS3 games, 2 PSP games and a bunch of other stuff
You can bitch and moan about Steam, PSN and XBL all you want. Truth remains that Brick and Mortar can't touch the summer Steam sale.
Or the "Flash sale" within the spring PSN sale, recently picked up Breath of Fire IV, Klonoa, and Wild Arms 1 and 2 for 0.96 each.
You know Slashdot loves it's anti-sony headlines, but what what really happened was:
OnLive entered bankruptcy in 2012, is bought by by a venture capitalist. OnLive still can't make money but has valuable patents/technology. Owners sell the assets to Sony, who has an interest in the patents and tech to add to their Gaikai portfolio that they use with Remote Play and Playstation Now with the PS4 and Vita.
Since Sony already HAS a streaming service, why should they keep this one up rather than incorporate it into what they already have?
Sony doesn't think so. They think streaming "supplements" and not replaces traditional game distribution, which is why they only use it for remote play between the PS4/Vita and to offer access to the back-catalog.
Schmai-gunug be willing, steak for dinner sometime soon.
