John Carmack: Working with Apple not always easy {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Nov 9th 2009 8:20PM Ah crap, didn't finish that second sentence. I meant "Or is he still bitter over Bungie being bought out by Microsoft?"
John Carmack: Working with Apple not always easy {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Nov 9th 2009 8:18PM That Jobs hates video games? Or is still bitter about Bungie's buy
Let's be real here, the Mac as a gaming platform has been utter bollocks. Gabe Newell of Valve has openly stated he would like to work with Apple, but there are several subject matters that Apple won't budge (Granted, Gabe was previously a M$ dev, and I'd like to know what he meant by that...but still). The vast majority of games nowadays are just PC games that have a Cider shell on top of them rather than developed natively (even Blizzard, long an Apple supporter, is moving to Cider). And Apple has offered no incentive for them to develop natively.
Either Jobs has taken the Sony approach (i.e., they don't see games as a quintessential element) to an extreme, or he hates video games.
DROID tethering? It's coming early 2010, says Verizon {Engadget}
Nov 4th 2009 6:27AM Well...the thing is, EVERY OTHER MEDIA OUTLET is covering/hyping this phone. This is more keeping up than anything else. Not everyone can be Pitchfork/BrooklynVegan and ignore/bash stupid stuff (and even those guys are guilty of following stupid trends).
DROID tethering? It's coming early 2010, says Verizon {Engadget}
Nov 4th 2009 6:22AM Can I just say how much of a spoiled brat you sound right there?
Not only does it say that tethering IS coming, but in no way is this a matter of "fair use" (how the hell are you defining "fair use" here? because clearly it doesn't make sense to the fair use I've come to understand, nor does it seem relevant) like you claim, but looks more like a matter of getting it to work properly on official level. I must say, at least they responded reasonably: Announcing, before launch, a timeframe of when to expect it after launch. You couldn't get that from Apple/AT&T, could you?
You've rushed to judgement, and you lack any sense of patience. Verizon has lots of problems, but you sound more like a brat who will kvetch at the slightest error. Go back to mama.
Piracy discourages future PixelJunk PSP port plans {Joystiq}
Oct 20th 2009 7:31AM Bitching at pirates for piracy on the comments section of a gaming news site is like talking to a coffee table: Why bother other than to look like a complete idiot?
'Good Enough Technology' Means Cheap and Easy Always Wins {Switched.com}
Sep 7th 2009 3:52PM MP2s? Are you a complete idiot or something? Seriously, if you're going to make an argument like that, at least know what you're talking about and not ass-pull. It makes you and your obviously-displayed blog a little more enticing. Just a little though.
2K Boston's next big thing is a shooter {Joystiq}
Aug 10th 2009 7:11PM How is this a positive development? The majority of 2K Boston/2K Australia left after BioShock to form 2K Marin (Which, I just realized, is to the north of me) for BioShock 2. Some stragglers, in particular the Brosius family, moved to Harmonix. All that's really left of 2K Boston is Ken Levine and some new people. And I hear Ken's a real asshole!
I don't think there will be gold out of this one.
Apple phasing out iPhone 3G in favor of 8GB 3GS? {Engadget}
Aug 5th 2009 2:00PM Well, it could also just be Rogers being Rogers, you know.
The main argument's prolly true tho...
The $6,910 "best" headphone sound system: how can you afford your audiophile lifestyle? {Engadget}
Jul 15th 2009 3:10AM The design tells me something: This is prolly aimed at mobile audio engineers (tracking/mixing), especially those who have small setups or don't want to carry around Genelec pairs everywhere (since those are not built to move around that much), and want quality analog pre-amps.
Flash 10 for smartphone beta coming this October {Engadget}
Jun 22nd 2009 7:31PM ...Meh. Flash needs to be rebuilt. It's so processor intensive that any webpage with Flash that I run on this laptop nowadays slows it down. The only comparable form of slowdown I see happens when I run a freaking game. Flash needs to cut back on the power it needs.
