Something worthy to mention? it would be fun.Just got caught up.
Me likey. Me likey a lot
Too soon to call and calling would be 'spoilers' and 'spoilers', so just pacience grasshopper.
About the Timeline, ideas you might want to share, your two cents on original games or butterflies, and so on so on, just talk dear reader.You mean ideas?
Hmmm...let me get back to you
Coolio
I will have more specific things to say, just right now enjoying being caught up Though I must say, I loved the sound of TTL's Majora's Mask.
One thing: I'll admit I may have missed it, but who're BioWare doing most of their development for ATM?
Read the E3 Post a few pages ago, you will get a suprise about Bioware project(hint Stephen King) but Bioware Baldur games were as OTL maybe a little different but not that radical but anything post 01 will be far different, Star wars licensee is up in the air and is pretty butterfly sensitive.
I found this on Wikipedia...
It seems like the comment I made some months ago, about the Xbox introducing dudebros to gaming and being one of the indirect causes of Gamergate, is even more true than I thought. Will Microsoft be able to market the Xbox as an "adult" console, now that neither the Katana nor the Ultra can be even remotely described as "kids' platforms"?

I don't think so. For once, the Ultra and the Katana have already proven themselves to have highly successful 'adult' and mature content on their systems, and since female gamers are more common this time around, the dudebros would probably be in a large but ignored minority.
What classifies a dudebro anyway?
Well, it's hard to pin down what caused her death IOTL. She had pneumonia which may or may not have been caused by toxic mold, drugs, or both, and it's hard to say whether butterflies would ultimately save her considering that she probably still got into some bad habits. So far, this is up in the air.
Shyamalan still isn't making movies, he's working with Vince Gilligan on The X-Files at the moment and it's likely the two of them will team up for a TV show or film in the future. They're good pals now.
Not too much has changed with them yet ITTL. I imagine we still get the British Office, but I'm sure butterflies will eventually alter all three of their careers.
Yes, they're the Oakland Raiders and the St. Louis Rams as of 2001 ITTL.

What Nivek said. They're working on The Dark Tower mainly but a few other projects too. KotOR is up in the air. We got a PM from someone with some ideas but we're still trying to decide what to do with it.
It won't be advertised as an "adult" console but they might try to push it toward a more mainstream audience than the Ultra is doing. The Katana seems to be trending toward becoming more of a kids' console though.
So far, Sega seems to be edging towards being the "gamer console" like OTL!Xbox while Nintendo is the "twentysomething console" of OTL!Playstation, although the roles aren't a 1:1 match. Sega's pitch seems more geared toward fighting the last (console) war while also appealing to niche demographics, like online play and NASCAR. Nintendo is still very Pixar-ish in how it handles its properties, but is aging upwards (like in Metroid: Darkness), and is placing emphasis on graphical firepower over online play. I'd guess they're probably the ones in the greatest danger due to sitting pretty; they don't need to take a roll of the dice on as many gambles because they already have winning formulas, but that invites atrophy. You can only make so many Mario and Zelda games before the formula becomes old hat, something they struggled with OTL.
Xbox, so far, seems very OTL-PS1. They're focusing on developer-friendly hardware, probably with development kits to match. They're grabbing every property they can, especially in terms of updated PC ports. The games seem male-centric, although I suppose Dark Tower could surprise, but their main message seems to be "We'll put ANYTHING on our console (that isn't porn), and pay you loads of money to develop/port ANYTHING for us." So I could see them having a vaguely ITTL!SNES-CD vibe, if constrained by the realities of 2000s pre-HD budgets. Having a distinctly American corporate identity will probably bleed through as well, in unintentional ways.
Just like OTL, the revivial goes smothly just in USA is more niche as their adaptation was not made but people who knew about japanimation(otaku term is yet to be coined) knew of it, so far Kuuga come back is going smoothly .
He is pre-pod and dems are performing a bit better that otl, he is still in vermont at the time, what he will do is up to butterflies
