Games for Windows Vista: how the new brand & OS will change PC gaming [update 1] {Joystiq}
Dec 18th 2006 1:30PM I'd like to see Games for Windows support some sort of unified save game system. I change hardware frequently and reinstall a fresh copy of Windows often. It's a pain to have to hunt down and backup the save files from all the various games I have installed. It is comforting to know that if I ever want to revisit a game I haven't played for years on my Gamecube, I can pick up where I left off. Some type of system (maybe as simple as a visible Saved Games folder) on the PC would go quite a ways towards creating a more console-like experience on the PC.
WRUP: revisit your GBA collection edition {Joystiq Nintendo}
Dec 15th 2006 1:35PM FF Tactics Advance. I've sunk about 40 hours into it and I'm sure I'm not even halfway through the story. The random battles can take me 20min to complete sometimes!

Oct 5th 2006 10:19AM Comcast HD DVR. Tape two shows, watch a pre-recorded third!
Proposed legislation: ESRB must complete every game {Joystiq}
Sep 28th 2006 4:04PM This proposed system still wouldn't have "protected our children" from Hot Coffee. You could have played the game for 200 hours and still not found that little gem.
CableCards here to stay or suffering a slow death? {Engadget HD}
Sep 20th 2006 4:37PM My fear is that by the time Cablecard 2.0 comes out, the disaster of 1.0 will have dug such a large hole that even a superior technology won't be able to get out of it.
Penny Arcade responds to our "hideous editorial," misses the point [update 1] {Joystiq}
Sep 15th 2006 9:53AM A rational customer would take many factors into consideration when making a purchase. Desire weighs in heavily. If they want the tangerine Wii bad enough, they'll pay for it. Are they being unreasonable for purchasing something they want? I'd rather get something I want at a price I'm willing to pay than something I don't with a subsidy.
Samsung makes possible 32 and 64GB CompactFlash cards {Engadget}
Sep 11th 2006 3:44PM What is that lovely retro-looking DIP in the lower right corner for? Comparison to the older tech?
Unreal Tournament 2007 high-def trailer available for download {Engadget HD}
Aug 24th 2006 5:27PM I game on my HDTV, and I agree with Tush it's awsome. I spent a lot on my HT setup, why wouldn't I want to get the most out of it? Now, until they release a wireless mouse that will please the high-DPI lovin' FPS players, they'll still be plenty of people who will frown on it for serious gameplay.
How does the Suzuki husband get back home? {AdJab}
Aug 7th 2006 12:34PM I agree. I've noticed (and been amused by) all the inconsistencies in this commercial. I wonder, how easy was it to drill holes to pass utilities through that much rock? Do they get snail mail? It doesn't really bother me, as it's just a commercial, but once you've seen the same 30 seconds as many times as I have, your brain has to come up with new ways of entertaining itself or it'll go mad! Good times.
Will gaming mags go the way of the Dodo? {Joystiq}
Aug 1st 2006 11:43AM I'd have to agree with Evan. Although gaming journalism as a whole isn't known for its ability or integrity, there's something to be said about the extra miles traditional printed media has to go through to publish an article. Lead times give journalists the time to do independent research and polish their writing, all before it is handed off to someone whose job is to catch mistakes and edit for bias and clarity.
On the other hand, I do hate reading about the latest e3 scoop 30 days after the fact. What we need is an acceptable lead time between 30 days and 30 seconds. I'd wait an extra day for a story that was fact/spell checked and written from an original viewpoint.
