Pretty awesome piece of software that Sony is developing for the Playstation 3. This is a video from the BBC. Hopefully this product will make it over to the states.
Great day for sledding in the Columbia River Gorge town of Carson, WA last weekend. Carson received almost two feet of snow which is pretty much unprecedented now days. We were going to head further into the mountains but after talking to some locals we found this spot. This was at steep street in the middle of town.
I was going to write this long post detailing my story with the Xbox 360 and $700 worth of downloadable content I had purchased. In a nutshell my original 360 console got the red ring of death (RRoD) and after acquiring a replacement console all of my downloadable content no longer worked as it did previously. The reason for this was simple: Microsoft’s implementation of DRM on the 360 console does not take into account the consoles extremely high failure rate.
Microsoft is promoting one of the worst consumer unfriendly DRM schemes ever produced. Read the following threads below to get a more detailed view on the issue. Microsoft has yet to fix the issue or publicly acknowledge they are working on a solution.
The mainstream media still hasn’t have a clue about video games after all these years. This video is pretty funny with all the completely fact-less information pranced around. If you still live in an Atari world, as one person on the panel stated she did, you shouldn’t be on a panel about video games.
To mainstream media outlets: Get your heads out of the sand and start taking objective views towards video games. How about discussing the options that parents have for limiting mature content on game consoles instead of playing into the fears of the masses.
