I don't really see how Microsoft could be blamed for it unless their certification process somehow created the bug in the code that Polytron provided them. Regardless of the actual cost of pushing through the update, expecting them to lower that cost, or drop it completely, for any developer is silly. It's certainly…

I'm guessing it was either a minor derailment that they were able to remedy quickly, or they took the packages off the train and put them on another form of transportation to keep them moving.

Certification is usually a lengthy process, unfortunately :X

Yeah, I have a feeling that may be the case as well. They made a definite point to show him coughing and popping pills in the cold opening. Sure, that could be due to something else that happens this season, but I think it was meant to allude back to his early cancer time.

I'm curious if the cold opening depicted events that will close out the season and series as a whole, or close out this year's half of the season. Traditionally, it's always been the end of the season, but given that there's going to be such a long break between the halves, I could see it being either way.

Well, by their math, they're counting the essentially-deceased (people who created an account, but are not currently playing) among the population of RuneScape. That makes all their country comparisons bunk, since they would need to include the number of people that have lived in those countries for any amount of…

I'm afraid you're going to die.

There we go! ;]

That goes both ways. The customers have paid their hard-earned money to see the main act, and then get told by the person they came there to see that they better shut up and like the stuff they're being force-fed ahead of it, or else.

I think this describes 90% of the partakers of Steam sales.

To his credit, it's a pretty tough concept. I mean, you have to drag and drop, or even copy and paste. These are complex maneuvers best left to the young and spry.

Pretty much every site has been posting these same articles as the information circles around. Ouya aims to turn the console industry on its head, and it could either end up a giant money sink that belly flops in spectacular fashion, or it could change the way we view video game consoles for years to come, or…

To those who haven't played it Ys: The Oath in Felghana is only $5 during the sale, with the possibility of it being a daily deal later. Fantastic old school game and awesome music!!

While the whole OUYA deal seems very interesting to me, unfortunately it's just too radical a product for me to throw my money at it without proof of its success. Without a lot of larger developer support, it could very well end up being an indie/homebrew platform that displays on a TV. Is that interesting? Sure. …

That's awesome to hear. Definitely going to try that out then. Thanks!

You know, I should try that with Xenoblade if and/or when I ever play through it again. I already had to softmod my Wii to play it since it's a PAL import copy, so it's already on an external HDD. The only time I tried Dolphin was to play MH Tri before it came West. That ran alright, but since Dolphin didn't take…

Oh 1337, the only piece of leetspeak that we all still adore, at least when it appears in randomly generated numbers, or coincidental (or "coincidental") situations.

"My grandpa used to spend his free time working in his wood shop," Henry said. "I spend my time working in a digital wood shop."

Agreed, though by the numbers it would be extremely tough to live and run a company on those means. 250k/14 is just shy of 18k per person. I would wager a good chunk off the top of 250k would go to non-personnel costs of running the company, and health insurance will cost you 2-3k per person for a high-ish…

Ahh, there we go. I hadn't browsed through the Kickstarter page for it yet, so my bad on that. Thanks!
