Well, at least we don't have to ruin the possibility of a good Uncharted film with this. Hopefully they'll just drop the Uncharted name altogether.

@keybladejon: Grah. Stupid typo.

I'll play the third Uncharted, whatever the locale, but I'm honestly not chuffed about the dessert idea. I'd prefer something colorful, or at least visually arresting.

I love Rushdie, although I'd like to see him again match his greatest works (to my mind, Midnight's Children and The Moor's Last Sigh)— the latest have seemed like exercise without feeling. I feel bad for him, though... such a profound loss of home can't help inform much happiness. I understand something of it,…

@Dezerus Richardson: The iPad and newest iteration of iPod Touch and iPhone do not have the same resolution screen. The iPad's screen is 1024x768, and the iPhone is 960x640... also, the corresponding pixel density is wildly divergent: 132ppi for the iPad and 326ppi for the iPhone.

It would be very difficult, I think. Part of what makes inactivity so tense isn't the fear of something jumping out to kill you... it's the burden of responsibility. It's easy to play Call of Duty and the like... you just kill everything except your teammates. And since your teammates are quite usually the only things…

@Random1512: I understand your need to buy one, but you don't really fit in to the type of customer I'm questioning... your reason for buying a Wii already existed— you (presumably) have a pre-existing library that loses all value if you don't have the console. Thus, you had to buy a new one.

@Korsi: I'd agree, in part... except that none of the prices quoted on Black Friday for any of the SKUs on the any of the DS forms were much below (if lower at all) than sale prices seen throughout the year... in fact, with the exception of the Wii, it's pretty rare to see any hardware receive much of a markdown for…

That is some excellent work— much improved on the bloody suit from the previous post. Whoever is working on these with her is doing some fine manufacture. Kudos.

@Korsi: I understand the idea that parents are going to buy the DS now instead of the 3DS in four months, but why now? I mean, it's been pretty much the same price for the last couple of Black Fridays, and the library has been just as good for the last couple of years as it is now. I guess if your kids were too young…

@Shinta: I can see that possibly being true. It truly is a wonderful game... but it's weird that DKC would sell certain people on the Wii now when both Galaxies, NSMBW, and other stuff didn't... especially considering the console was roughly the same price on Black Friday last year? Either way, good on them, I guess.

If I was shopping for a new console, I wouldn't be buying a Wii or a DS this year. The Wii hasn't seen much of a price drop recently... so if I was buying one, I'd already have it; and the DS is being replaced in just a few months. The libraries for both also aren't markedly better than they were twelve months ago,…

This is terribly sad news. God Bless you, Irvin Kershner. All our lives truly wouldn't be the same without you.

I recently watched an interview with Eric Schmidt and found it quite illuminating. Schmidt seemed very determined that Google was going to resolve the issues with the content providers simply by proving to them that something like GoogleTV was an inevitability, and that Google could introduce the networks to enormous…

@Mixiboi: To be fair, he didn't mention Minidisc, Beta, or Memory Stick... all of which were determined failures produced by Sony's legendary stubborn-ass desire to use a proprietary tech where a standard one would work just as well, if not better.

@Cheeseter: You mean Hot Pursuit? Because if someone sold you Most Wanted for $35, that guy is not your friend.

This weekend I'm going to try and make it through the two indie packs I just picked up on Steam. I'm really looking forward to Puzzle Agent.

Fable 3, $29.99. TMNT Turtles in Time for $2 in MS points. Two of the indie packs on Steam, $4.99 each. $41.97 for twelve quality games is a nice haul for me.

@MajorGroove: With all due respect, that doesn't change any of the points we established in the earlier comments.

@Tebasaki: Any time, my friend. Hope you get some good stuff, best of luck!
