  • Mean Bean Machine is pretty much a westernized port of Puyo Puyo, which was itself a Tetris clone. The developer initially felt Puyo Puyo wouldn't be a hit with western gamers, so they replaced the characters with Sonic universe characters (or made new ones up).

    I played Mean Bean quite a bit as a kid, but one of my brother's friends stole it along with a few other games.

    I "love" when a show like Law and Order has a scene where the cops go to arrest somebody who is later proven to be innocent, and it's always at their workplace, or a busy family function, or a restaurant. The cops proceed to loudly accuse the person of the heinous crime right in front of their friends/family/neighbors/coworkers.

    Then later on, the actual perp is arrested and no mention is made again of the innocent person they practically eviscerated in public or in front of their loved ones.

    It's like these shows exist to subliminally train you to passively accept cops treating you like shit, even if you're innocent.












  • Maybe not now, no.

    On the other hand, I remember people debating on forums and newsgroups 20 years ago whether 1000 Mbps Ethernet was "overkill" for home networks, because Internet connections didn't even come close to being that fast.
