No. Physical games are not better.

Have u ever noticed how physical gamers always feel the need to say that physical games are superior to digital games? They don't just stop at saying that their personal, subjective preference is for physical games; no. They must take that extra step, make a judgment, and proclaim that physical games are better, implying that they are objectively so. Isn't that asinine? Shouldn't they just stop at expressing their opinions? Why must they take that asinine next step and try to imply that their opinions are facts?

I must surmise that one of these reasons is that they are stupider, and thus, more prone to irrational affirmations. They are like racists or sexists. There is no race or sex that is better than another; they are just different, but the same. Racists and sexists, on the other hand, hold an obstinate belief, that a race or sex is objectively inferior or superior to another. Yes; people who say that physical games are better are operating from the same level of intelligence as racists and sexists.

People who proudly say that they are part of the "PC Master Race" also belong into the category comprised of physical-game evangelists, racists, and sexists. These PC-benchmarkers are always saying that PC is better. No. There are pros and cons to PC-gaming as well. It's not holistically better.

Digital gamers never say that digital games are better, because we know that there are pros and cons to both digital games and physical games. One is not completely better than the other.

White Japanese Sega Saturn 3D Control Pad (Controller) Review HSS-0137

Image
As a recently new Sega Saturn owner, I knew I had to get the Sega Saturn 3D Control Pad because it was the definitive controller for playing Nights Into Dreams. I decided to purchase the more aesthetically-pleasing Japanese version. Upon first inspection, it is noticeably big - bigger than it should be. Sega was probably going for form over function here, because the round shape does look like a mini-spaceship or UFO, which goes with their theme of space with the Saturn itself, but it is not the most ergonomically comfortable controller out there. For example, when playing six-button fighting-games, it is difficult to hold the controller in the left hand and 'piano' the buttons with the right. The d-pad is a little different from the American Model 1 and Japanese Model 2 controllers'. It feels a little stiffer. Of the three controllers I have tried, it has my least favorite d-pad. On the plus-side, however, it features the best start-button of the three.

"Retrotek SCART to Component Converter" Review (SCBV1P3)

Image
I do not like spreading negativity out there, but I needed to warn people about this device. I bought this for 80 dollars on ebay; I'm not gonna link from whom, because he or she does not deserve more sales of this awful device. When it works, it works, albeit with flaws. The image produced is sharp, as a component-video signal should be, and the colors are accurate, except that there is a green tint to the entire picture. I've read that one has to open these things up and adjust the 'pots' inside (an electrical term) with a screwdriver. I never really tried doing that or minded the green tint too much, because it's very subtle. What I did mind a lot, was the fact that sometimes, it won't work, and I'll only get audio. This is a big problem. I wouldn't mind the colors being a little off, or there being some 'noise' in the video-signal, but when the success-rate of the thing actually working is 50%, it's a deal-breaker. I paid 80 dolla

Japanese Model 2 Sega Saturn Controller Review HSS-0101

Image
Recently, I bought a Model 2 American Sega Saturn, but it came with a Model 1 controller. It was pretty good, but I liked the look of the Model 2 Japanese controller, and the d-pad seemed more comfortable. After ordering one on ebay, and opening the package I later received, I was taken aback at how 'creamy' the controller looked. It didn't look like it had changed color, like old NESes, but it didn't look as white as I had imagined. Even the photo above looks whiter than it actually is. The d-pad is better than the Model 1's, but not by too much. The face-buttons feel the same, but the Start-button is a big improvement. The biggest improvement comes in the form of the shoulder-buttons. I don't think the actual internal switches have changed, but now you don't have to press the buttons on the rear of its plastic-shell to get them to actuate. In general, they feel and sound like mouse-buttons. You won't want to use them in action-games, but f
