Wow. That picture made me straight. I'd rather eat out a prostitute who just saw a client than eat dinner with a dude wearing that hat.

[Rufus]

Honestly I'm not that shocked by the cook doing the whole dirty deed right there in front of you.
Then again, I'm maybe not in the majority view for that sort of thing.

My disgust stems from the possibility that the animal may still be suffering as its being gutted. Maybe I'm just too empathetic, but I would still have my appetite ruined even if it could be assured that the frog specifically is dead by the time it's being gutted and partially skinned.
There's also the suggestion that this ambiguity is part of the presentation. Looks too much like vivisection to me. /shudder

It does make him look stupid though. And the way he tries to wave it off by claiming to not have time for - I dunno, not putting it on in the morning (?) is strange. He probably just doesn't know what to do with his hair or is balding or something.

[recursivelyenumerable]

well not everyone can have hair as fabulous as mine, so i try not to judge.

[thisismyusername]

I will eat a live oyster just fine - it has no brain.

Anything with a brain I couldn't imagine eating while it was still alive. Something like a lobster, even if boiled alive, is dead when served.

Tearing a frog in half and placing it to look at you while you consume it just seems cruel for the sake of it.

I dunno. While there's some spectacle in that, I would think the main message is more the guarantee that the food is as fresh as it can be. Maybe I'm wrong tho and the restaurant is doing that purely for novelty. There's no way around the fact that producing meat is a messy business, whether you do it at the sushi bar or behind the walls of a slaughterhouse.

Yeah, but slaughterhouses are at least supposed to make sure the animal is dead before they process it further.

Not to call all Earth Huggy and Vegan-y but: A lot of them don't. It's horrible.

At least at Sushi houses and other places like that the meat from the processing place is already dead by the time they arrive. And live Lobsters aren't really cut in half to kill them. They're either jammed in the back of the "head" to instantly and humanely kill them with a knife to the brain or they're boiled alive (which isn't really "humane" IMO but they don't feel the boiling alive due to exoskeleton apparently). Cutting a frog in half to kill it is just some shit, especially if you do it in front of the customer. You don't see Sushi places picking up a Salmon (or whatever fish) and then bringing a knife down on it to then cut in half while it's still flopping about.

[VomKriege]

You don't see Sushi places picking up a Salmon (or whatever fish) and then bringing a knife down on it to then cut in half while it's still flopping about.

Going by the Neogaf thread, it would seem this exists under some form at some Japanese restaurants : the sashimi is prepped and served on the still twitching body of the fish. Apparently salt is used to make the dead body reacts. I dunno if the frog thing is the same ?

[brawndolicious]

Regarding seafood, my belief was that Iron Chef was a real depiction of haute cuisine or at least the part where they filet a fish while it's still struggling for its life. Really disgusted me at the time until I heard other chefs saying it's pointless to not just poke the brain with a knife beforehand. Obviously tearing off or boiling the meat of an animal seconds before you cook it doesn't make a difference in how fresh it tastes.

Before his wife left him and his life fell apart, I remember that shitstain GilloD posted a story of watching a live octopus get boiled to death in front of him.

What? I always thought that Gillo was a chill guy and wondered what made him leave. You mean the one who tried to join the Peace Corps but he and his wife got hung up right at the end for some visa reason or something right?  At worst I thought he had a big drug problem. Sucks.

[Phoenix Dark]

It's clear many Japanese people are desensitized to death due to anime consumption. What other explanation is there for people who will let their country slowly die out rather than have sex? They don't cherish life the same way other cultures like Americans do.

[Mr Gilhaney]

I couldn't eat a frog like that. But good on them if they want to do that shit, hardly more cruel than the usual slaughtering process of animals. Personally I just prefer my meat from the supermarket, in nice packages where I can pretend it isn't from an animal.

At the same time, if NX ended up being more powerful than PS4, we'd see the greatest flood of Sony stan tears since The Order 1886 review thread

But we can't have both

[D3RANG3D]

I don't think it's totally out of the realm of possibility to be more powerful than the ps4 since the consoles this time around are pretty underpowered.

Both outcomes will be equally delicious, so enjoy the ride.
Honestly anything bridging the gap enough to make getting easy multiplats a possibility would already be pretty good. Might be a bit late in the cycle anyway and without any more incentives for third parties than WiiU, so...

Nice!  New thread up.

  I'm stunned actually.  Nintendo's never been on the cutting-edge power-wise.  NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube...they were all modest designs powerful by nature of smart designs and coming out later than most competitors.  This could be a similar situation depending on what they mean by "most PCs", but let's just assume they mean high-end PC systems.

  If that's the case....wow.  Now every hardcore/core gamer is gonna pay attention to this thing seriously.  That's a great first step.

When Nintendo launches a $200 machine, you gotta know it's not going to be killer hardware.

[Rufus]

So, a DX12 chip? Or Vulkan, I guess.

[VomKriege]

Are they still pushing -when not hyped for the next machine- the "Graphics do not matter, Nintendo artstyle is fresh & vivid and gameplay is everything, that's worth a thousand brown FPSs" routine ? It was pretty much dogma in Wii days but all 45 WiiU owners seems to have dialed down the schtick a bit.

[Tasty]

If this thing comes out in 2016, it could be a decent competitor depending on how long the X1 and PS4 last. The 360 lasted 8 years and the PS3 lasted 7. That's 3-4 years of the NX potentially being on par (I'm expecting it to be on-par with them, the mobile aspect will probably limit the system's graphical potential.)

Not too bad. The Wee U was actually a reliable dumping ground for 360/PS3 ports before those systems kicked the bucket. Pubs love porting their shit around.

But how successful were those ports? Everyone I know was playing Mass Effect 3 on PCS360 and not the Wii U (yes yes, not the best example. Let's go with:) Assassin's Creed 3? Batman: Arkham City?

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

The best (worst) part of being on GAF for so long is I got to see this stupid shit during the Gamecube, Wii, and Wii U.

There's the Sonic cycle and there's the Nintendo console cycle.  Realistically, I expect the NX to be roughly on par with the Xbone, maybe a little less powerful.  I also expect Nintendo to copy the MS/Sony strategy of just sourcing off the shelf PC parts to reduce costs.  Nintendo ate a lot of shit financially in the past five years and I don't see them putting themselves in that kind of position again.

[Tasty]

Yeah there's no way they stick with PowerPC.

Which unfortunately means bye-bye backwards-compatibility.

[Rufus]

ARM with a couple cores disabled for mobile, all cores enabled and max clock speed when it's docked? Or is that not what people think it's going to be any more? A dockable portable system, I mean.

[thisismyusername]

Wouldn't unlocking the cores cause heat issues if you were going to put it on a dock? I'm trying to figure out how the whole "more power when it's a console" thing would work in regards to heat dissipation and power draw in my head.

True, wasn't even thinking about heat. The portable part might be drastically weaker for that reason alone. But having several chips for each mode would drive up price. If we're to read "can do stuff PCs of today can't" as having raw horse power, that is. Whatever the specs, the portable probably will deactive some stuff just to conserve battery.

The fuck am I even doing, we don't know shit. 

[Tasty]

$250 was loonypants for 3DS at launch and $350 for the only worthwhile SKU for Wii U was also crazy (if slightly less so than 3DS, Jesus Christ what were they thinking with that.)

Now, split the differenct and $300 is a good price for a console that doubles as a handheld.

[thisismyusername]

How the hell would the next Nintendo system not be on par with two year old Microsoft and Sony systems?

It'd be like the Wii and be under it. Which is what the Wii U kinda did and didn't do. It was betting on the PS360 to last longer than expected. Which, worked for a bit (but nobody that owned a PS360 wanted to "upgrade" their "last-gen" console) but also worked against them.

Even if they hit sub-200, no one is going to buy a Nintendo system. The Wii was a weird anomaly with the waggle gimmick. But now a days that ship has sailed. Nintendo is back in the rut of "no one cares about Nintendo" and even if they go dirt-cheap nobody outside of hardcore superfans a la Andy is going to care.
