I've had posts deleted when I confronted Amir0x about something or other. But what proof do I have? I'm obviously lying.

Why does cool shit like this always happen when I stop checking threads.

Why, because it's too outrageous to believe? Trust me, I skimmed a thread several times looking after my post and a reply which never came because my post magically disappeared. It wasn't a systems war post either. It was a post specifically discussing his moderating methods.
EDIT: Ah yeah, Amir0x is now a verb. Proper.

I'm loving my 3DS. My only big issue is the battery life. It really is painfully short when playing OOT in 3D. I get plenty of juice out of it playing DS games, but yeah, 3DS games drain it like heck. I can't imagine it'd be much use on a long flight or train journey.

My LTTP impressions:
At first I thought the 3D was rubbish, and that I'd never use it. Especially in Pilot Wings it just didn't work for me. It just seemed off, like I was looking cross-eyed or something. And it was indeed tiring for the eyes.
However, with Ocarina of Time I've found that if I put the slider somewhere in the middle, it just...works. It actually makes the gaming experience a bit better. What a pleasant surprise. I still get a little dizzy after a while though, but then again I am the type that gets kinda nauseous whenever I spend too much time in front of a screen. Any screen.
3D is still not a selling point for me personally, but it's nice to know that when done right, I'll actually use the 3D function.

It's not in the NA eShop anymore, I couldn't find it a month ago when I got my 3DS. WTF NoA?

It'll be added when they put the game up as an upcoming release.
Check the Star Fox 64 3D video on the eshop. The game was just listed (last week?) I believe.
Even with the compression for streaming, the kick in visuals is noticeable and the depth in each scene is pretty strong.
It's easily one of the more impressive use of 3D

Spoiler: Literally no lesson will be learned and any time this is brought up, he will bemoan that posters have no argument against his inarguable facts and are derailing threads to personally insult him.chubigans said:
Oh no I gave away the ending !!
Was just notified about this. Misrepresenting himself and then going back and trying to cover up all the evidence to the contrary? Very unfortunate behavior, and entirely unacceptable. Ami and I have had our talks before, about getting too aggressive in discussions and derailing threads and so forth, but this goes beyond that into an ethics matter.
It's done.
It's done.

Pretty ridiculous behaviour on their part. Those E3 videos entirely justified Nintendo's direction with 3D to me, having been very sceptical until that point. Mario Kart, and Luigi's Mansion especially, have had me pausing the videos and then switching on/off the 3D for an embarrassingly long time

I did see a number of people say the binary on/off 3D of some videos made them a little sick. Since you can't adjust the 3Dness of video, maybe they thought they'd make their actual video advertisements more limited, I don't know.swerve said:Pretty ridiculous behaviour on their part.

There was a point in the Mario 3D one where he jumps straight up out of the screen (from a top-down perspective) and I got a slight sense of vertigo.

A 3ds thread killed Amirox. The irony is palpable.

If you downloaded the videos when they originally were on the eShop, you can redownload them. Go to "Your Downloads" in the Settings, scroll down, and they should show up. I did it a couple of days ago, so it should still work.swerve said:Pretty ridiculous behaviour on their part.

Unfortunately, for anyone who got their 3DS after the videos were taken down, I don't know if there is any way for you watch them.
And a big "Whoa" at the Ami drama. I didn't want to partake in it, but I do agree with the action taken.

Demodded or permabanned as well?
I have a question about the 'degrees' of 3D actually, hopefully someone can address it.
I've literally played not more than two hours, and only three games, so I'm not sure. But do people try and dial in the 'correct' depth? Because presumably too shallow and it's logically wrong in terms of the real depth dimension. And one thing I noticed was it doesn't seem to be consistent from game to game, sometimes it feels right at lower settings, was that me being an idiot or is not the same from title to title?
Looking at it logically I'd imagine the slider should be the same based on the distance between each eyes, so it should be set once and always be perfect, but I gather that's not what people are doing?
This is just out of interest, it's not like moving a little slider is an issue or anything.

It's the game, and is based on how the devs have programmed the camera's positions. So in one game, max slider would have the camera X units apart, and in another, max is only Y units apart.StuBurns said:
So it's definitely a game to game situation for you to adjust.

Same for me as well. I'm quite comfortable with maximum depth, so I leave it at that.

It varies game by game, sometimes even situation to situation for me.StuBurns said:
In a lot of launch games, full-blast was too much. When I showed those same games to people who do not have drastically different eye distance than me, and I suggested they only keep it around the middle, they really struggled with the 3D until they moved it all the way to high and it became comfortable for them.
In Ocarina, I mostly have it at full, but I sometimes tone it down depending on what I'm doing (usually fast moving boss fights or areas with lots of particle effects that come flying at the screen).
