OK. The article didn't really give a ton of background info. I still think he's overreacting, though.

Really? I don't know, his game got a 79/100 metascore and he's getting his panties in a bunch saying "Get rid of f***** score thing."

Of course. When your game gets bad reviews all around, insist that reviews and scores don't mean anything. Brilliant.

The industry is definitely getting bigger, but "less Westernized"? The Japanese console market has been shrinking year-on-year for the last 10 years or so, while the US and European markets have experienced exponential growth during the same period.

Out of curiosity, what game would make a good base for an Iron Man game? I'm thinking a mix of Just Cause 2 and Metroid Prime.

The one with the sunglasses are hot dogs, right?

I for one won't be missing the Iron Man games. Have you seen the last 2 games?

I really liked the Zune's UI. It was really a major departure from all media devices at the time; Microsoft made a very clean, simple interface that didn't sacrifice usability, and it's too bad that this didn't really take off.

Is it that bad? I'll probably wait until it's available for rental, sometimes in 2015 (yeah! Japan).

Well, yes, I assume that most people don't want to share their various account passwords and CC # with the world. Not password locking your phone is asking for major trouble.

Actually no, most of them can't do much more than open their web browser or fire up Skype/FaceTime.

Thanks. My memory isn't what it used to be. I can't believe it's been over 25 years since I first read that manga...

16-bit graphics (backgrounds and sprites ripped from SNES Shadowrun) mixed with 8-bit sounds. SNES Shadowrun sounded way better than that. Great video though.

Their next target:

Windows 2000 was way better than 98E and 7.

I've actually used Windows ME for about a year, and it was more like this:

I get where you're coming from and why you'd need a 3rd party app for that. Myself, I disable all notifications on the lock screen because 1) I hate clutter and 2) I use a lock screen specifically to prevent people from reading my stuff. I guess it goes to show that everyone uses their device in a different way.

That makes sense. I've always thought that the lock screen was by nature meant to be password protected, but I realize that not everybody is using it that way. That must be the reason that I don't really understand why you'd want "notifications" on a lock screen.

According to this article about 95% of iOS devices run iOS and 5% are running iOS 5 with less than 1% running an earlier version.

Can someone explain why you'd want to be able to launch apps from the LOCK screen? Isn't the purpose of a LOCK screen to prevent others from using your phone and its apps?
