He may be still contractually obligated to do so, which may explain the gray area of him being fired from the company.

Konami doesn’t strike me as the yearly-franchise-milking type, unless they changed their policies.

Playing games on a watch?

The moment that Microsoft started promising stuff they weren’t even working on, nor agreed to do, they should have known something fishy was going on.

Ghosts had a problem with the pace of the game, thanks to fixing stuff that wasn’t broken (land-based UAVs), and the maps are the worst in the series. The only saving grace was that all weapons and perks are balanced to the point you can’t really pick one loadout as the best (except the abused IEDs).

This is the first time I played a Call of Duty just for the campaign, I couldn't be bothered with the multiplayer. The campaign was really fun, just below CoD4MW and Black Ops. My only gripe is the twist with Kevin Spacey was predictable, so was the ending. It could have been so much better, so easily. Big missed…

When the Flash TV show dropped the classic red for rust leather (how aerodynamic is that?), I was a bit disappointed, but now I'm used to it.

Oh wow. Nanny Nintendo doesn't know that you could make voice chat optional, turned off by default. This is not a game where voice chat would ruin the immersion of the game, as in Journey.

Oh. It's that time of the year, again.

I am quite sure creativity is not what you think it is.

Can a lawyer explain to me how this works? Because all this time I’ve been living under the assumption that reviews and satire are protected by the Constitution and exempt from copyright law.

They create content, that apparently, quite a few people consume. I don't see anything wrong with the label.

I don’t have the images, but I’m quite sure that Street Fighter’s Balrog stage is on Fremont St in Las Vegas (across the old Golden Nugget)

Wait, this is not a Kojima post?

That works for fads. Products that are hot for a while, and flame out soon after. It’s true that the Wii was a fad, but you can’t build a company based on one. Fads are supposed to be short-term victories.

Uh, no. Apple has never limited supply on purpose. They only sold out on a device when the demand was record-breaking, like selling 10 million iPads on a weekend, or when they miscalculated demand, as when the iPhone 5S came out, they expected the 5C to sell more. There were plenty of 5Cs but not enough 5Ss. It’s…

The strategy didn’t work for me. I gave up on a Wii after not finding one for a while, and frankly, I wasn’t going to go out of my way to get one. I may not be the only person who thought the same. Nintendo in fact lost money over keeping the supply short.

I remember stepping into a Best Buy in Chicago in early 2008 and asking for a Wii. They told me they were not in stock and the wouldn’t know when they’d have it back. That was my fourth time trying to get one. They Wii had been out for almost two years by then. I said “fuck it” and never looked back. I haven't owned a…

The problem is less infrastructure and more the cost of streaming. When YouTube came out a decade ago the cost of streaming video was cost prohibitive. They needed a rich uncle (Google in this case) to keep them afloat until the technology became cheap enough so they could turn a profit. I don't follow tech reports…

I think the idea of the Netflix of videogames still have a future, but the technology is not there yet. But, at Netflix started mailing DVDs, the service can start as Steam and get back to streaming when prices and bandwidth allow it to. I love the idea of playing my games regardless of what device I choose to play…
