Level Up : The Edge of Reason: Why It Might Be a... →

N’Gai has some very interesting thoughts regarding “morality” in games. He recommends a sort-of online “karma” system based on your performance in games that’s carried over into an online community.

Conversations with Robbie: Greek Epic Edition

me: werner herzog is hilarious
Robbie: no shit.
Robbie: i wish he were my grandpa or something.
Robbie: at least a great uncle.
me: your grandpa is exactly like that
me: only he doesn't speak 20 languages
Robbie: ha ha. i guess so.
me: at least he probably has stories that awesome
Robbie: i guess i didn't tell you he died.
me: oh no, you didn't
 sorry to hear that
Robbie: yeah, in september.
 yeah, he was pretty badass.
me: he's a legend
Robbie: ha ha.
Robbie: i'll write a greek epic about him.
me: yeah, you should
me: he's like a cuban Odysseus
Robbie: a greek epic poem in poor spanish.
Robbie: it won't make any sense, but people will go apeshit for it 2000 years from now.
me: it'll be required reading for little alien children
me: in space
Robbie: man the future is going to be so awesome.

SimCity Societies looks intriguing to me. The fact that Maxis is not developing this title concerns me a little, though.

RPS brings up my exact sentiments: Bethesda better not screw up Fallout 3. I, like the author, am somewhat sick of the generic-ness of RPGs these days. Fallout has always been a refreshing franchise.

There Will Be Blood - HD Trailers →

P.T. Anderson’s new movie looks like it’ll be better than all his previous works. Daniel Day-Lewis plays an oil tycoon who becomes the embodiment of evil. I also can’t believe that emo kid from Little Miss Sunshine is in it.

Expansion Pack: Which Would You Rather Lose, a $60... →

N’Gai proposes that an online game save file storage mechanism should be provided by the console manufacturers. I’ve been demanding this since the launch of the Xbox Live service! It seems inexcusable to me that this doesn’t yet exist, even though I know the reason: they want to upsell you external storage. And yet that reasoning isn’t entirely sound. As N’Gai...
