  1. Microsoft has an exclusive deal by iamghetto · · Score: 1 · on Nintendo Wii To Get Netflix Streaming

    Back in August when this was news:

    http://www.crispygamer.com/blogs/post/2009/08/11/NOT-NEWS-Xbox-360s-Netflix-Exclusivity.aspx

    The exclusivity was tied to an online delivery service integrated into the console. Netflix gets around this with Wii and PS3 by essentially selling a "Netflix Game" that streams the video from the service.

  2. Did you really say 'level playing field' and WoW? by Behrooz · · Score: 1 · on Facebook Mafiosi Go To the Mattresses vs. Zynga

    Uh, no. Just like someone would be annoyed that someone in World of Warcraft got all the best gear by REing the game and using bots and exploits...same with this. It doesn't matter if you are playing a game about being a gangster of it is a game about magical ponies, if it has a multiplayer element to it, people want a level playing field.

    A level playing field? In an MMO? Yeah, you're dreaming-- if you want to compete with other people on a 'level playing field', play a game that's actually designed to do that, instead of one designed to keep pushing the little addiction buttons in your brain so you'll stick around and be a good little revenue producer.

    I think the appropriate comic for this is here:

  4. Mario Minus World by lithis · · Score: 1 · on Videogame Places You're Not Supposed To Go

    The Mario minus world is mentioned in another Crispy Gamer article: If these bugs are wrong, I don't want to be right.

    Did you know that minus world is much cooler in the Japanese version? Watch the video!

  5. Re:concerns of racism? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on Review: Resident Evil 5

    This isn't an equal opportunity complaint. No-one's saying that there should be more whites getting killed in this. Read the discussion on Crispy Gamer about this - here's a couple of quotes:

    "What about Resident Evil 4? Huh? Huh? Huh?" ...Spaniards don't have a long, loud history of being portrayed as scary, subhuman savages. The average American citizen that previous Resident Evil games have used as enemies don't have a long, loud history of being portrayed as scary, subhuman savages.
    ...
    I want more black people in my videogames. I don't even care if they're good guys or bad guys, shallow or deep characters. But I do care if they remind me of ugly, racist stereotypes, even if that wasn't the intent.

  6. Re:Next Slashdot headlines... by Narnie · · Score: 1 · on The Slow Bruteforce Botnet(s) May Be Learning

    The botnet is already self-aware, it's just grinding out rep before going live.
