Sep 4th 2007 11:38AM DC does not, however, look like poo on devices with VGA inputs. Invest in those extra cables and it's a world of difference.

Codemasters crafting split-screen mode for Overlord {Joystiq}
Aug 15th 2007 7:43PM I wanted to get Overlord but everyone says it's got some pretty serious QA issues. Once they've patched those up, I'll be in for some Xbox-style Pikmin for sure.
Here's hoping!
Former Volition trio forms Blazing Lizard {Joystiq}
Aug 8th 2007 2:10PM I read that headline without my glasses on and thought it said, "Former Voltron forms Blazing Sword"
GTR: Worms questions answered (ninja rope!) {Joystiq Xbox}
Feb 6th 2007 9:02AM Worms can't get here soon enough. Pro-Roper matches were awesome back in the day. I've spent more time playing Worms online than any other online franchise.
Castlevania's a classic, no doubt, but it's a franchise that gets new releases regularly. We haven't gotten a proper online 2D Worms title on consoles... well, ever, I think.

As someone who actually works in TV news (top 50 market), you're pretty off base about your assumptions about the way it works. Most of the younger people in my newsroom play them to some extent. Hell, our anchor is a devoted City of Heroes/Villains fan.
Do you want more positive gaming coverage on the news? Then put on an event that does emphasize the positive points. Host a big-ass charity LAN event, do something other than sit back and whine. If you want games portrayed as something good, DO GOOD.
There has to be a strong "now" hook. News media perked up when Penny-Arcade started Child's Play- but what has the gaming community done since then? We have a lot of mid-major studios in my city, but the last time the newsroom got a gaming-related invite to cover something was a McDonald's sponsored Mario Kart DS tournament. This is sad, because I know the local chapter of the IGDA has events going on.
Nintendo made some headway with the Wii as a more physically active console- Ms Soccer Mom perked up at that. But more must be done.
