>>	Anonymous Thu Sep 25 23:26:18 2014 No.1965298 >>1965252 That's not how it works. Theoretically, if you could interface that drive to something that could run doom, and the transfer rate is decent, then yes. But that isn't a computer on its own.

>>	Anonymous Fri Sep 26 03:38:03 2014 No.1965818 why would a printer even need the power for that though? i mean whats the point a printer doesnt need to be that advanced all it does is print off paper theres no point wasting money on the extra power of that

>>	Anonymous Fri Sep 26 12:35:34 2014 No.1966307 Is there a specific reason Doom is so frequently used as the test subject in this kind of thing? Is it notably portable or is it just because it's a popular game?

>>	Anonymous Fri Sep 26 12:40:17 2014 No.1966319 >>1965818 I think it's going to become a lot more common: companies will just throw Android onto their products and just code an app for it; probably easier than making all your own shit

>>	Anonymous Fri Sep 26 12:41:48 2014 No.1966320 >>1966307 It's just complex enough that it's impressive to get running on things, but not intensive enough to make it impossible to port to stupid shit.

>>1964259
Neither can I, I'm too old for that shit. I've spent ages doing that crap when I was a kid and I've spent ages working on my mouse so it's like second nature. Going back to awful controls is just aggravating as shit. It's almost as bad as when I play lefty.
I suppose all that's left is the hipsters in the middle who try to get hipster cred that no one but hipsters cares about.

>>	Anonymous Fri Sep 26 12:46:09 2014 No.1966329 >it hasn't been ported to the NES >it hasn't been ported to the Wii U Makes sense, one of these is just too weak and the other is long dead.

>>	Anonymous Fri Sep 26 12:49:15 2014 No.1966334 >>1964402 Battery life on those things should give you about 26-44 minutes of play. That's kind of hilarious though.
