I had this game as a child and played it a lot, but I never completed the game. I just played through it again on my steam deck and it holds up pretty well for a game boy game.

The game play is similar to Link's Awakening, but instead of one open overworld, each level is a somewhat open world contained level.

The difficulty feels really well balanced in this game and there are strategies to fight back against any of the enemies or any sets of enemies, so it never feels unfair.

The dialogue in this game, especially when known characters or star characters are interacting with James Bond feels really authentic to the Pierce Brosnan in earlier movies.

The music in this game is recognizable. You will hear the James Bond theme over and over again and it does the loop which does get a little annoying at times, but overall the music is enjoyable.

The art for this game is really well done too. I don't think I ever looked at something and thought it could look any different or any better. I thought it was all pretty great.

This game does require you to pay careful attention to what people say sometimes especially during trade quests you need to pick up on all the people's clues. I needed to use a strategy guide two times to figure things out due to ambiguity.

Another issue I had is that you are required to do a casino blackjack mini game to progress the story as a kid that was difficult for me because I didn't know how to play these games. But you can get unlimited money just by talking to the cashier and she will give you another thousand dollars, which you can use to gamble to the undefined dollar amount needed to progress the story.

The last issue I had is there is an item that I believe is required to defeat the boss of that level and the way to get it is by killing an enemy on the map. The reason I don't like this is because this is the only instance in the game where an enemy drops a key item that is needed to progress and it's easy to just walk past enemies in certain places to get to the next screen so on my most recent play through I forgot about this, and I made it all the way to the boss without the item that I believe is required to defeat him.

Have you played this game? If so, what did you think of it? This game is definitely enjoyable for James Bond fans, but even if you don't know anything about James Bond it's still a fun game.

PS3 is one of the few systems I have ever owned or really ever played.

I want to get one for some ps3 exclusives, but I would like to be able to run home brew software on it.

I know the original fat model is the best one, but I’ll skip that as they are really pricey.

Can someone give advice on whether I should get slim or super slim or anything else to look out for when making the purchase?

I recently visited my parents in the US. I keep my retro console collection here and my N64 was missing. So was my Atari Jaguar.

I am still a bit bummed about the N64, but no one is admitting to taking it even though it clearly was taken out of the storage box. Sorry for the rant.

Anyway, I’ll be going to Japan next month and want to replace the console. I figured I can get a decent price on it there.

I looked up region locking and some places say there is a lockout chip and others say you just need to replace the tray.

It will be used to play US N64 games. Can someone offer some guidance on this?

I was doing the final quest of the game in act 3.

There is a quest where you have to get 3 different hearts before you can fight the final boss. After I got two hearts, it told me to go to the place near the starting area and let me progress to the final boss.

After I completed the final boss, I went back and was able to fight Seth and Nyleth.

I am wondering if this was a bug in the game or if you only needed two of the hearts to progress.

If it is a bug, I wonder if it occurred because I fought Seth a few times and gave up to try the others. Maybe it marked it as complete.

I will pickup an m4 air next week when I visit the US.

I tried to find videos on YouTube about performances in games during extending play sessions.

I do not buy this for gaming, but my return flight will take 33 hours due to a layover.

So, how will things like baldurs gate 3, and not switch emulation run on it after 2-3 hours of consecutive playing?

Like I said, I probably won’t game on it at all once I’m back home, but 33 hours is a lot of time to kill.

This game is fun and has me hooked. I finished it after just a few days.

But the game feels incomplete and slightly rushed.

For example, as you progress through the game you can unlock new items to sell, but you unlock some items at the very end of the game, so it feels kind of pointless.

The fast travel system is not super useful as it takes you to places on the map that are kind of inconvenient and the games maps is small enough to just run to the destination just as fast in most instances.

The inventory management system is a bit annoying, you can only pick up stacks of 5 items. Not at the max, but at all. So if you just need to grab one apple to restock, you have to run back and forth to return the excess apples from the stack. You can also get into a situation where you don’t have a place to put an item down and need to trash it instead.

Money is never an issue in this game and there are perks to lower purchase prices, but it’s completely irreverent as you always have enough money.

The reward points you get to unlock things is also a bit pointless as you easy get so many of them that by the time you progress in the story and unlock the next tier, you can just buy everything right away.

The little town seems like there could be so much lore and things to unlock, but nothing happens. I assumed I was only halfway done the game when I finished it as there is so much left unresolved.

I assumed the game was made by a solo dev, but the credits rolled and I was shocked at how many people worked on this game.

So, while it was fun. I would not recommend buying it in its current state. I think it needs a few big dlcs before it can call itself a completed game.

My brother said that he will watch an episode of Trek with me when I visit my family in October.

I am wonder what the best single episode to show him is. He has not seen anything Trek before.

I am thinking something that is newer, but not necessarily.

Anyway, what do you think would be good?

Does anyone genuinely like this? I was relieved to see it can be turned off.

One thing I noticed is that the inactive window gets a shadow on it. I wonder if that can also be turned off.

I’m really debating between these two screen sizes.

I mostly use my computer with a monitor, but will occasionally work on it in the kitchen when it in meetings.

My current laptop is 14” and I’m not sure how much of a difference 15” really is over the 13” model.

What is your experience?

If I get the 13” I might use the savings to get a 1tb hard drive which I think is important to me.

I use a windows computer for work with a usb-c to HDMI hub.

I needed to use my wife’s m1 air, and there was weird distortion on the screen. It was minimal, but noticeable.

I read that this can be a problem with m1 and m2 air models. I plan to get an m4 air in the next few months and I’m wondering if this model has any screen distortion problems on an external monitor.

I do not have distortion problems with any of my other computers using the same hub and wires, so I don’t think it’s a problem with them.

The title really says it all, but I’m self hosting world of Warcraft wrath of the lich king.

I’m just so shocked that it all works to be honest. It’s blowing my mind still.

I always want to play classic wow, but I play so infrequently that it’s not worth paying a subscription.

It never really occurred to me that I could just host my own server until chatgpt recommended that when I was researching things to self hosting.

It’s not public yet as my upload speeds are too slow.

I think I’m going to set the server up on my laptop so I can play wow while on my 14 hour flight coming up.

I’ve always played the game solo anyway due to my casualness.
