    Oh, cool! That actually makes more sense looking at the trailer.

    The starters revealed are cute. Australia theme? If so, there's potential for some cool new designs. For all its faults, I do think Pokémon still delivers on a lot of great designs.

    These are my favorite Pokémon games, so nice to see this.

    On the one hand, I'm surprised at their restraint of "only" $20 (still expensive for a 20 year old game). On the other hand, they're still selling 2 versions and apparently aren't modifying the content at all. For this kind of re-release, I'd have liked to see a single merged game with all Pokémon (come on, the story in this one doesn't even have the minor difference of box legendary).

    Hopefully they'll at least add in all the events. Naval Rock, Birth Island, and a functional Altering Cave.

    I don't plan to buy it right now, though if they add in the events I may be interested. Given how hard it is to get a legit copy of the GBA version now, it could be a fun way to replay it.

    Referring to Amy as "Rose" in the article is pretty funny. I think she may be one of the only characters with a last name.

    The map on that was pretty revealing. I'm in one of the (apparently few) areas with significant late sunrises even under standard time. My thought was always "you don't see the sun in the morning during winter anyways, so you at least see it in the evening", which I see isn't true for most people.

    Standard still sucks here, but it seems like the majority of people would benefit, and I'd appreciate not changing at least.

    I was just thinking about this the other day too! I would love to see an OS like that, where everything is an extensible package instead of a silo'd program loosely connected with pipes.

    Annoying that this isn't just 3D All Stars DLC, but at least Galaxy 2 gets a re-release after so long, it's a great game.

    After recently watching Ahoy's video about COD4 that detailed the history of the franchise, this is a hilarious full-circle moment. Medal of Honor cribbed off Saving Private Ryan. CoD was off-brand Medal of Honor when it was new. Now a CoD movie?

    I can't imagine it'll be any good given that the modern games are creatively bankrupt and CoD doesn't really have a consistent plot or setting like other game franchises.

    The only reason I haven't watched City is due to where it's streaming. I definitely want to see it though, Nichijou was a masterpiece so it's probably up my alley.

    Agree. I think the low-level ideas in C about memory management, pointers, and hardware device programming can be taught just as well in any other systems language. I think seeing a little assembly, and seeing how languages compile to it might be good things to see (e.g. Compiler Explorer)
