Sadly none of the current tech, glasses or standalone (the mobile screens) will do any good for me unless having one eye doesn't hinder the depth perception any more than the real world does (remember, I see by color, shadow, and light to determine distance and motion variations). At least I know I'll be saving hundreds, if not thousands of dollars on displays since I realistically cannot use current 3D tech.

I'm starting to get pretty riled with the amount of 3D tech we're being bombarded with. It's something that doesn't speak to me at all. In film particularly it simply detracts from the matter at hand, it's a gimmick and a distraction. I hardly know anyone who has a large amount of HD content yet, partly out of a lack of conviction in its worth. The thought of them getting 3D tech seems even more far fetched.

I can't see myself ever adopting a 3D tech device...

...well maybe when sci-fi style holographic projection is available!

Next poll topic suggestion: Motion-Control Gaming.

At this very moment, the current poll has 43.8% for "What's SCI?"

You people should be ashamed. This is almost as bad (numerically, it's actually worse) as the "What's Marathon?" vote from earlier in the year.

Edit: That reminds me, I should finish the Mac Classics Reborn article I was writing for Marathon.

If I'm not mistaken, they also had a hand in Carmageddon, which would be my choice.

I wouldn't say I don't know about SCI, however I've never really played any of the games enough to vote for a favourite!

I think you're getting confused with SCI Games Plc.

Just thinking... I always use my iPod so cannot view the flash-based polls. Anybody thought about making a more iOS friendly polls section?

Yeah, that's been on my MacScene to-do list since we relaunched the site. If I get bored from Archive I'll take a quick crack at it.

I found this:

First one looks great.

I second this.

Is it just me, or can you vote an unlimited number of times?

I think the amount of votes is down to the honesty of the voter. I've had the opportunity to vote multiple times but am interested to see what the genuine outcome is. AND SO SHOULD YOU BE!

I am interested, however, I'd believe the votes more if I couldn't vote twice.

Also, I am used to polls showing results instead of the poll again after you vote. Just a preference.

I agree. Don't screw with the votes, guys.

The voting system doesn't track (and thus limit) the votes to 1 per account? I thought that'd kind of be, you know, standard.

My vote was for Controller (SNES) but that wasn't an option so I want to clear up NO modern controller in my vote And yes limit the voting to one per IP if you can I'd be much more interested in the true outcome.

You're only able to vote once per day. Looking at the logs only two people voted in the last poll more than once (and oddly enough voted for two different options). Future polls will only allow one vote per week. And the video below may help you with next week's poll.

Here's a faster run:

I wish I'd known about all those secrets and shortcuts back in the day.

Anybody know how to do the ladder super jump. I've never seen that. In fact, I HATE the ladders in Mario 2.

Ok... these are all great, and my nod definitely goes to Mario. He defined platforming, and then 3D Platforming. Each game that comes out seems to be getting easier and easier though...

But I think there is a new classic series in the making that gets my modern system nod. Uncharted. If you have the chance, play it.
