Xbox 360 Lightsynth
Ophion writes "Renowned digital artist Jeff Minter of Llamasoft has created a new lightsynth that will be built into the Xbox 360. More information on the console's music player is available from Microsoft." From the post: "I believe it finally begins to achieve the potential that I saw all those years ago when I first made Psychedelia... and I am happier with it than I have ever been with anything I've created in my entire career. And we got it into the firmware again... Microsoft firmware. Of the Xbox360 for goat's sake. At last... after more than 20 years' work, one of my lightsynths is going to reach a decent sized audience. Millions and millions..."
In a shocking turn of events today the metaslashdotter posts outstripped the real slashdotter posts on a story about a stoned coder who sees dead people. Predicting the surge of "so, do MSFT balls *taste better* than llama balls, Jeff?" comments, metaslashdotters hurried to decry the plebian urge to urinate on MSFT, only to find the story overstocked with metaposts decrying an urge that did not materialize prior to the embarassment of metaposters crying "shame!" on an nonexistant denouncement.
Let's all hope enough plebian posters hating MSFT turn up to balance the metaposter overstock and save the fragile metaposters from the embarassment of being seen to care.
