Child of Eden has a 'corset peripheral' (which you'll probably never see)

I'd rather have the vibrator.

Minecraft will officially launch on 11/11/11

Fair enough. I guess I'm used to viewing 11/11/11 as 6 ones and not 8, but that's a fair interpretation.

Wrong. 255 is 8 bits, 63 is 6 bits.

To answer FreakSheet, no (well outside of the number 63). The code with which letters are encoded, ASCII, is a 7-bit code, plus one parity bit used for error checking. This means that 6 bits is insufficient to transmit even a single letter.

Pokemon Black and White use $10 off on Amazon, it's super effective

I got Black on release day, actually. Currently trying to figure out what my team's gonna be for battling friends. It's a problem because they all play more seriously than me so now I have to figure out EVs and such. Siiiigh.

This just in: a new Pokémon game is being made. More on this as it develops.

The GameBoy Pocket was a great machine. I was always jealous of the other kids who had one, but I made up for it by being the first with a Color :D

Pokémon Prime? Yes please.

Conduit 2: by the numbers

Not likely. Never played the first Conduit; the series doesn't appeal to me much. When the FPS mood strikes me I tend to go for either TF2 or COD4. I'll probably pick up Killzone 3 when I find it cheap somewhere though, I loved the beta.

My comment's not showing up for some reason (knowing Joystiq, posting this will make me double post). I'm a girl. I'd always like the option of playing a female character. I understand why they don't do it (there's not many of us and they'd rather spend resources doing something else) but it's always nice when a company includes us. Embarrassing to not include? No. Nice to include? Yes.

As a girl, I care, but honestly it's not like I'm not used to having other FPSes completely ignore females.
