My bad. Guess I read into it too much.

What's the point of a new console then?

I wouldn't say that. The Wii didn't deliver on fully realized game experiences the same way the HD consoles did. What it did deliver on was great games with solid gameplay and interesting new concepts. It did give us new ways to play, even if there weren't a whole lot of them. The Wii gave us something PCs couldn't,…

Who said those are going to be $400?

Is capacitive really worth putting the extra money down on, though? resistive screens have something capacitive ones don't, and that's the ability to use a stylus. Or to use anything to touch the screen. Capacitive screens require special styli to actually do anything on the screen without your fingers. And there's a…

I'm on the fence with this one. It might flop terribly and sell only a bit to the big Nintendo fanboys, or it might actually be really good. The software will be a key point, as well as the competition. If the next Xbox and Playstation don't do something new with their controls, they can go straight down the toilet…

Mostly because on the important front (games, software) there is nothing to go off of. At least on specs there are extremely vague messages from supposed developers that don't match up. That's at least something. We can't speculate on games that aren't even rumored yet.

It's really a case of self-fulfilling prophecy, in a way. They say SL is a furry RP game... and that's exactly what attracts the people who are looking for furry RP. Say you're an upstanding furry who just likes to hang out and doesn't care about the sexual stuff. In that case, why are you even on SL?

It's not a fetish but aside from some details you're basically right. Furry to me is an identity. It's a driving interest of mine, the fantasy to my Tolkien. In a way it's even my spirituality. None of that has anything to do with sex. I'd be lying if I said I didn't have the fetish bit, but as with anything else,…

Casual Friday at its best.

I'd love a Second Life game where you can actually make games within the game.

My Shepard in the first game really looks the part. She's not beefy or overly masculine, but she looks mid-thirties and she's not very pretty. She's a no-nonsense space captain. She does whatever she can to make sure the job is done with as little mess as possible, and she has no problem with being a hardass or…

I play femshep because I like the character a hell of a lot more.

Which game were you playing?

Actually, you're not a bullet sponge in any of those games. Look at Half-life. You'll drop from 100 health to dead in a second if you don't watch out. The parts in HL1 with the army guys shooting you, you lose like 10 health per bullet that hits you. In CoD, if you're not on Hardcore you can take like 20 shots before…

The difference between Sonic and Mario is the difference between memorizing and playing a level. Sonic is like playing F-Zero GX with infinite boost power, but there's fog on the track so you can't see reasonably far ahead. You have to memorize every twist and turn, or go painfully slow to win.

It's actually a side-scroller. Gyroscope might technically work but I guess it's a matter of play testing to figure out if it's worth including as an option. The problem would be then, that you couldn't really emulate the down or up buttons well that way, just left and right. Aiming could be an issue.

This. So very, very much this. I would also say that gameplay has done the same thing this generation. We have the capacity to make every bullet palpable when fired, in visuals, audio and physical feedback. And yet that instills in the developers a need to make everything as realistic as possible, which hurts the…

I guess I wouldn't know. I was just going off how each one looked, and the 360 version in this case seemed more like a rainstorm. The fog actually contributed to the effect pretty well, though as a whole it looked like a daytime scene, which bik says is not supposed to be the case. Actually, judging by how it looks,…

Flood of amazingness, you mean?
