"a series of utterly-out-of-place kick boxing, knife-wielding duels"
Its not a knife, its called a sai. (Think of the TMNT...)
Hopefully Lucas will notice the success this movie has at the box office, and do something we all want, RE-RELEASE INDIANA JONES! Seriously, I'd rather watch Dr. Jones kick some shit out of Nazi's than George of the Jungle running around with some kid who decides it would be fun to play with ancient bracelets.
And all I know is that if the third Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within trailer isn't being played on my local theater with The Mummy Returns...I'm asking for my $8.50 back, since I know that beyond that, there will be NO entertainment value in what lies ahead.
Ah...now I see how "insightful" this must be compared to the first post to be modded 6 points higher. This really IS a nice bunch of idiots and hypocrites, especially if they give someone a five for explaining how the mod and threading systems work.
Digipen is a holdover from the old (S)NES days. It doesn't carry the same weight as it did 6 or 7 years ago.
My advice? Make the best game or mod that you possibly can, and try to market it to these companies. Remember Counter-Strike before it was an OFFICIAL part of Half-Life?
Or what about Remedy, which was basically founded by a few guys who made a car game with shitty 2-D graphics, but was addictive as hell.
DO, or do not. There is not try. If you want to learn how to do something, DO IT. Hey, you may go nowhere, but you'll at least go somewhere (or...er...something like that).
"The sites that will be successful at pay-per-view will be the ones that generate great content."
Bull. How are people going to see this great content that has been generated if 99% of the people are too stingy to spend a few bucks a month on a site (even though they already spent thousands to deck out their computer, they're sitting there having a smoke, drinking a beer, and who knows, probably playing the lotto or something). People are cheap. VERY cheap. Oh, they'll have no problem spending $30 a year for a magazine like PC Gamer, but they'd never pay $30 a year for Daily Radar (at least judging by the hate mail IGN has recieved since they started their IGN Insider).
We've all been hacking our cases apart for each LAN party, with holes here, neon lights there, maybe a ThinkGeek sticker on top...but I was always waiting for someone to make a transparent, or at least translucent case.
This sounds (somewhat) like what the Indrema was aiming for, but then again, something would have to actually be RELEASED, not swept under the rug due to high development costs. Vaporware doesn't exactly fit under the category of "convergence".
I've set up something like this before, and all I really needed was a computer, a capture card, a large hd (doesn't have to be anything TOO big), and software like Adobe Premiere.
You'll be able to customize exactly how you capture your video, between resolutions, color depth, frame rate, compression ratio, etc., and can actually capture quite a bit of video to the drive. If you'd prefer full 30fps video that's not quite as sharp and really compressed, then you can have it. If you'd rather have REALLY sharp and high res video, but at only like 10fps, you can have it.
If you work from that basic idea, you can really come up with some interesting, and effective solutions.
It wouldn't happen. Like I've said for the past few days (/. seems slooooooow on games news), either the investors, or someone within Nintendo Inc. will either override his decision, or remove him from his position.
He's an old man, using old business tactics (a la practically saying "fuck you Squaresoft"), and its a shame. But if anyone HONESTLY believes, that REGARDLESS of the reaction at E3, that Nintendo would cancal all Game Cube plans, you're simply stupid. Ninteno Inc., their stockholders, 2nd party developers, you can't even imagine how many people would be threatening with lawsuits.
Too tired to say much more, but don't believe this any more than you believe any url with "goatse" in it...
"And on Friday, the family of injured student Evan Todd had their lawyer fire off a letter to the co-creator of the game "Doom" - a favorite of Harris and Klebold - asking that he stop selling adult games to kids."
Um...Carmack has no control over the sale of his games. He designs parts (like the engine), and the rest comes together. He has NOTHING to do with sales, and this person is not only implying that he is, but that HE (as in personally) sells these "adult" games to kids.
Hell, want to pick a fight with someone over this, at least target that asshole Manager at my local EB...
Why does remind me so much of that (somewhat) recent story of the teacher who dared/told/challenged/asked his students to break past the school's security systems? One kid did, showed how, and was immediately suspended for it, while the teacher wasn't even reprimanded for doing such a thing. Besides, even if they don't publish the stuff, they'll surface sooner or later. Just like Nosferatu, no matter how much someone wants for something to disappear or go away, it will always turn up again.

I feel sorry for the blokes that actually bit into this shit that piles up in our boxes. Seriously, it MUST be working well enough for people to spend the time and money doing it, AND risk any fines assosciated with spamming.
If someone sends out 1,000,000 messages, and only 2 act on selling their timeshare or vaction home (or whatever it is), they'll start to get the message that "Whoa, this doesn't work". But when a few thousand act on it, they're like "Sweet, cheaper than advertising!"
So to those shitheads out there (who probably have no clue what/. is, I'm talking to a bunch of Base and Goat-heads), STOP BUYING THIS SHIT AND THE SPAM WILL STOP. You're MAKING it work!
I don't have one of those dildo-shaped devices either! Oh no, whatever shall I do! I guess I'll have to find the dirt out on my favorite companies my usual way: While wearing my Nikes, getting into my GM car, driving to Wal-Mart, to pick up a Big Mac and Windows ME.

I believe you're referring to THIS English/French commercial...(plain-text link)

I think it was for Kiwi or something, since I forgot the point of the commercial.

Damn, the ONLY downside of this that I can think of is no more hot women at the Daily Radar booth at E3 this year. *drool* :D
