April Fools: Jack Thompson wants government to legalize gamer murder {Joystiq}
Apr 1st 2009 3:30PM Erm, by the category April Fools, was this seriously an email from JT sent to you guys meant as an "april fools joke" or rather are you simply making up the story, because if you are... well, it's a bit TOO believable, to be honest.
Account security is your responsibility, not Blizzard's {WoW}
Feb 27th 2009 4:01PM While I agree that there are some significant security lapses on the account of some players, others just have unfortunate luck; it's not necessarily always a player's fault. I've been hacked and I take great strides to protect my computer, I regularly update my antivirus, have both a software firewall and a hardware firewall (through Tomato firmware), I use Windows x64, I never download from sites I don't trust, I don't run WoW on any computer but my tower... and yet I've still been hacked, by a virus that I got through mousing over a flash ad in firefox, before there was any warning about that attack. There are always going to be people who get hacked even though they take every precaution they know of. (I now use Adblock Plus on top of all that as an extra precaution.)
Blizz posts DK creation FAQ {WoW}
Oct 6th 2008 5:15PM All I have to say is this news so negatively impacts me that when I read it I cursed aloud in my programming class. People thought I had a segfault. :/
'No plans' for Yoda on PS3 Soulcalibur IV {Joystiq Playstation}
Aug 1st 2008 6:27PM I kinda want him, but only for single player so I can have a total cheese fest unlocking some of the more difficult tower challenges, and so that empty spot on my roster can be filled, it's driving me up a tree.
But yeah, online? No, no thank you, I've played against that mean green killing machine and want nothing to do with him online, thank you.
Gundam Battle Universe trailer complete with mecha geekiness {Joystiq Playstation}
May 28th 2008 12:35AM Uhm. Is it just me, or do those models seem to be lacking in the "texture" department?
No Windows? Use Linux, Intel Macs for PC Gaming with CrossOver {Joystiq}
May 23rd 2008 4:33PM Why use crossover? I'd understand if it was at least even up to date with WINE, but WINE supports DX9 and 10, while crossover only supports up to 8, and all CrossOver -is- is WINE's code with a config wrapper. It's... useless. Unless you don't want to waste eighty hours to play a ten hour game, but really, who -doesn't- enjoy tedious customizations of code?
CNET sees PS3 beating Wii ... in 2012 {Joystiq Nintendo}
May 22nd 2008 6:06PM I've stopped buying 360 games since my Nth RRoD, so I can see why the growth might slow there, and I do see how Nintendo's market might eventually begin to collapse, as much as I'd love to pretend the people buying the Wii are buying it for the games, most are simply parents buying their kids the new toy. As long as Nintendo keeps innovating, they'll keep ahead, but I really wouldn't be terribly surprised to see things shift dramatically in the next four years. And this chart seems to agree with me on one key issue, even if it does win out, the PS3 isn't going to beat the Wii by a spectacular margin. I don't think it even will, but I do think that over the next four years there will probably be huge change.
iPhone theme sullies Vista's good name {Engadget Mobile}
May 21st 2008 11:18PM Congratulations, I laughed out loud. On a note more relevant to the main article, why have skin features that aren't functional? Specifically, the clock in the top right isn't accurate (thus I assume it's nonfunctional, thus throwing into question the function of the other sidebar addons)
Tears to Tiara video shows off cutscenes, combat {Joystiq Playstation}
May 21st 2008 7:10PM Where be White Knight Story, that's really what I'm interested in.
