Thank you all for your replies. I appreciate it very much.

My question is answered. Go ahead and close the thread, thank you!

vanelan : Ah, well. Thank you again for letting me know!

vanelan : Meh. I tried adjusting some stuff but I haven't really done anything with this type of thing for a year or so, and I've forgotten more than I remember I think. Ah well. Thanks for letting me know though. Is it really bad? Like, should I switch layouts? Or is it just more annoying? Be honest-I don't wanna make anyone's screens wonky!

vanelan : Thanks! Definitely going to snag it then. I'm having a blast with the PSX games, so...yeah.

I'm going to have to agree with almost everyone on this thread. PC gaming is the way to go. 

Don't get me wrong; I own several game systems and I love my PS3, but if I can, I usually get the game on my PC. Why? Well, to sum it up-MODDING. Yes, I'm a modder. I got addicted to modding games at a young age, lol.

I mean, c'mon. Who doesn't want to have the all-naked-all-the-time Dragons Age Origins Mod? Huh? HUH? (Well, ok, not me honestly, XD The biggest mod i used on that game was the Winter Forge so I could make a whole outfit of armor called "Massive Pectorals" and "Many Thews" with super-sweet bonuses, mmm. And the pink legwarmers of speed and the tie-tack of magic resistance, yah!)

With the addition of a game controller, there really isn't any great advantage to buying a system. You can get emulators for almost every system out there, so why bother?

Sorry, I'm not going to do the pros and cons thing. 

I just re-read the Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. I'm kinda jonesing for the BBC Sherlock series, lol. It's amazing, as always. 

IgorBird122 : Thank you for you reply! I think I'm going to go ahead and just buy it once I build the Viz back up. Even if it doesn't work, it's not a bad thing to have I suppose. 

thecrazyguy: If you do test it out, let me know  ok? That would be great! Thank you!

I apologize if this is answered somewhere else; I looked and I didn't find a definitive answer, so I just wanted to ask before I spend the extra Viz. Does the game download accelerator work with the playstation games? (Not complaining, I swear!) I ask this as I sit idly waiting for my game to download. I don't have any issues with normal game downloads, so if it doesn't work I won't bother buying it.

Sorry again if this is a re-ask or if this is somewhere written down already.

Thank you!

I love Retro games, don't get me wrong, but I'd have to say modern games. The advances in technology really make things better-as much as I adore some of the older Zelda games, for example, they just don't hold a candle against Ocarina of Time (and that's not even a particularly new game!)

And besides, there's no way they could have pulled off Overlord in the Retro days, and that's one of my favorite games of all time. 

(Plus the music is better now. Thank god. If there's anything I HATE about retro games it's usually the music. My ears, my poor bleeding ears...make it stop...)

I did what I always do. Sleep. Sleeeeep. I'm too old for staying up all night and partying. And besides, it's just another night. It's not like something magical happens at midnight that instantly changes my whole life. 

So yeah. I sleep. Happy new year.

I prefer blogs to vlogs, to be honest. Although it's fun to watch the person, sometimes their personality gets in the way of whatever information they're trying to give you. I've watched vlogs where I just spent the entire time thinking, 'oh, my god, what a complete dork'. And during those times, I usually have no idea what the person was saying. I know that sounds kind of mean, but it's true.

With blogs, you can read the information and process it without the burden of separating the personality from the information. Sure you can get a feeling for a person through how they write, but it's not intrusive, like watching their video. Beside that, you can pause to absorb or re-read information if it didn't process correctly the first time. Again, you can back up a vlog, but what a pain. 

As far as I am concerned, blogs are for information. Vlogs are for entertainment. I don't watch vlogs for really important stuff, mostly just nerdly debates and hilarious comics doing shtick. If I really want to read about something important, I would choose a blog every time. 

Ms. Pac-man, hands down.

The mazes were varied and not just the same thing over and over and I loved the ability to use the turbo. Plus being able to set the difficulty was much better, because then even people who weren't that great at it could play. 

I will always love the original, but given the choice I'd pick Ms. Pac-man every time.

I'm going to agree, the title was very odd. 

I have to admit that I usually perform a kind of strip-down throughout the night. I like to wear a pair of sleep-pants and a t-shirt to bed because I'm usually cold at the start of the night, but by morning I usually wake up without a shirt. I think I'm getting overly warm in the middle of the night and waking up just enough to peel off my shirt before going back to bed.

I haven't yet woken up without my pants, but I suppose if it got warm enough...

I can't wear socks at all. They won't survive the night and I usually have a heck of a time finding them in the morning (all twisted up in my sheets). I've completely given up on even trying, to be honest.

There are so many unwanted children in this world. So many parents who are unfit for raising a child, mentally and emotionally, not to mention financially. So many broken, terrible families who only cause pain and trouble for the children they uncaringly bring into the world.

The only reason to deny gay adoption is on religious means, which to some is the end of the matter. I feel that it would be so much better for the unwanted children of this world to have a loving, supportive couple who not only want the child from start to finish and are financially set, stable and ready for children than to leave them in the foster system.

The thinking behind denying gay adoption is broken, based in the dark ages, and completely stupid. I don't usually speak out so strongly against religious bias (I believe that everyone has a right to believe what they believe, no matter how wrong-headed or cruel it might be) but in this case, it angers me that loving, desperately willing couples are being denied the opportunity to share their love, life experiences, money, home, heart and stability to children who desperately need all of those things.

I understand if you don't agree that being gay is a good thing. But think about how kids come out of the foster care system-sure there's good ones, but there are more bad ones and many of the kids of the foster system are fundamentally broken. Why don't we give these kids a fighting chance?

thing1 : That's fine with me, man. Use anything you'd like. 

Singelli : Thanks, at least I know that it's not messing anyone else's screen up.

I figured it was something on my end, to be honest, but I have no idea what it could be. This is the same computer I had, the same browser...I must have done something. If it's not bothering anyone else I'll just ignore it. It's not that big of a deal.

Thanks for answering me-as always, you're so helpful!

If you've read my reviews before, you might notice that I'm a bit addicted to Super Mario game hacks. It's true! I can't help it-Super Mario was my first video game love and no matter how old I get, I still love the little plumber. Even if some of his games have been....less than stellar. (Not naming any names.) So the fact that there were so many different hacks of my old favorite games on Vizzed was one of the biggest draws for me to this game site.

This is another hack of Super Mario World. I think that's the most-hacked Mario game on here-I could be wrong, but it seems like it. And I've played many, many different varieties of these games. Some have been terrible, a few have been great. And some, like this game, are just...ok. Pretty good. Not bad. Eh. I think you get the idea.

If you're looking for a fantastic hack of Super Mario World, I'd suggest another version-maybe The Second Reality Project. If you're looking for something fun to play that feels like the original game but different, this isn't a bad game to pick up. 

There's nothing about it that really is really good or really bad. It doesn't do a lot to change the basic game. No snazzy new enemies, no awesome new ideas. Just solid Super Mario game action with a slightly different package.

On to the numbers!

Graphics: 8
Pretty standard stuff for the most part. Some graphic hacks of enemies (the flying sperm-goomba ghosts were hilarious, sorry.) Some background changes, mostly color-swaps and some texture changes. Pretty effective overall-there wasn't anywhere that made my eyes bleed or messed with my head too much, which was nice. I can't tell if some of the monsters were actual graphic-changes or just imports from other games, but if they were imports they were at least blended very well.

Sound: 8
Once again, pretty basic. I gave it a slightly higher than normal score because I thought the choices were really effective in a couple of place. Didn't hear anything new as far as I know.

Addictiveness: 6
Addictive if you liked the original. The difficulty level (see below) was a bit too high to be really additive; I had to rage-quit a few more times than I like. I kept coming back, so I guess it didn't do too bad a job hooking me. Or I'm just a sucker. Could be that, I suppose.

Story: 5
Uh. I know that Super Mario Brothers doesn't have much of a story to begin with-save the princess. Repeat ad-naseum. This game takes that to a whole new level by...not having a story? They tell you right off the bat that 'someone stole the scenario.' and then you just right into it. Play through and it makes sense, but it starts you off going 'Uh, ok..." 

Depth: 8
I'm going a bit higher than normal on a Super Mario World hack for depth because there are so...many....freakin...red....worlds. Seriously, there's one place where almost every world has a second exit. And they're not easy to find, either. No walk-in-the-park Ooh lookie, there's the key' secret exits. Sometimes you end up backtracking over the whole level like three times carrying different pow-blocks and you get so confused. I started skipping some of them just because I wanted to keep going, and I never do that. 

Difficulty: 8
I would rate the original Super Mario Brothers about a 5 for difficulty (not counting the star-road secret areas, which were insane.) This game is much harder. There are stupid jumps, enemies everywhere, crazy convoluted pathways, annoying 'time the jump just right to hit the turtle' jumps, seemingly impossible-to-not-get-hit flying bomb areas, ghost-block-ladder-fun times...long story short, it's hard. Not quite 'rage-quit-forever' hard but there were a few times I put the controller down and said "Ok, yeah, I quit." I also made copious use of the save-state, something I try not to do in games I'm playing to review. (I think it's cheating. It's cheating. Don't try to argue with me about it.) I had to, so I could get through some of the more frustrating areas. 

Overall: 7
So, yeah, overall I'm going to go with a 7. Not great, not bad. Worth playing if you can be persistent and deal with some frustrating deaths. And if you love searching for hidden clues, this is really a good one for you. I already know some people will argue with me about the difficulty, but I'm an average-skill player, not one of the really good ones, so I review 'em like I see 'em. 

Give it a try and tell me what you think.

I was gone for awhile, and I just switched to this layout after coming back. I remember it looked great way back when I made it, but it's just a bit off. And another layout I bought looks fine in the preview but it's just a bit too big and weirdly a bit off-center. Is this something I'm doing wrong? A setting I have set wrong? Is anyone else even seeing this issue? The one on this layout I'm talking about is the fact that the pink text box just overlays the right-hand column. I swear it didn't used to do that. The wall-E one is slightly too large. Help-am I going a bit insane or what?

Quick! I need a Ronald Weasley to accidentally break the wand!
