  1. Re:Morality Shock on Bioshock's Launch Aftershocks · · Score: 1

    I've not noticed anything "considerably" broken with BIg daddies. I just see them as spawning and searching out the sisters. If you already got all the sisters in the level, then the big daddies just go on looking. It adds texture. From the article:

    But it's not just technical issues that have troubled BioShock in its first few days of retail existence. The Limited Edition of the game has also been experiencing complaints, as the Big Daddy figures that were shipped in the package were prone to breaking during shipment.
  2. Dodo? Really? on Does DRM Enable Online Music Innovation? · · Score: 1

    Or, will DRM go the way of the dodo bird (as Steve Jobs has already proclaimed his preference for)? This would explain the colossal failure of the iDodo.
  3. Re:Second Life on The Quest To Build a Better Warcraft · · Score: 1

    I would rather kill dragons with morons, too, but most morons are hard to throw.

  4. Attitude Position? on Space Station Gyro Problem Dangerous? · · Score: 1
    Gyros help maintain attitude position in space

    Let me know when it starts singing "Bicycle Built For Two."
  5. Merchandising! on Spaceballs Animated Series in Production · · Score: 4, Funny

    Any news on Spaceballs: The Flamethrower?

  6. You lost me. on Whatever Happened to the Gaming Mascot? · · Score: 1
    surviving either by cynically marketing to the very young
    So Sonic wasn't always a cynical marketing campaign? Hmm...
  7. 11 cents on the dollar on How iTunes Hurts Weird Al · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The folks at Downhill Battle have been saying this for a few years now:
    http://www.downhillbattle.org/itunes/

  8. Re:What are the benefits? on Bioware/Pandemic To Go Public · · Score: 3, Informative
    Read the article:
    the companies are hoping the move will give them more leverage in negotiations with publishers
  9. Pandemic's next move on How Bioware Makes A Community Work · · Score: 1

    Interestingly, Pandemic Studios has just added a "Communities" link to their homepage. I wonder if we will see a BioWare-type community environment in the months following the developers' merger.

  10. The Greater Conspiracy on Jack Thompson Calls Cops on Penny-Arcade · · Score: 1
    Does anyone else think that Thompson is really an invention of Rockstar games?
    So far he has:
    • alienated game industry critics
    • revealed his supporters (Hillary, et al) as bandwagon-jumping fools
    • and publicized some violent games I probably wouldn't have looked at anyway

    I, for one am grateful for Thompson's lunacy.
  11. If shorter games are better than longer games... on Making the Case For Short Games · · Score: 1

    ... then clearly WarioWare is the best of them all!

  12. Re:What? Is my Digipen degree chopped liver? on EA Starts Gamedev Program · · Score: 1

    As a graduate of both dP and a "real" university I'd recommend that your brother skip dP and study computer science elsewhere. He will earn a respectable degree and get some social experience to boot.
