Real-world political campaigning headed to Farmville

Sep 27th 2011 1:00PM (Joystiq)
@CaptainProtonX

I use games as a way of escaping the crazy people of the world. Now they're going to be pestering me in games? Crap.
On the bright side, I don't play Farmville and have banished it from my Facebook page.
Now, on the other hand, I'd love to see some political campaigners in the next GTA game...

GameStop intentionally removing Deus Ex OnLive coupons from retail PC copies (update: GameStop statement and legal outlook)

@Barry McCockiner
That's like saying Wal-Mart won't carry a game because there's a Target billboard in the game's virtual world. This is just stupid. GameStop will regret this one way or another.

HTC EVO 4G gets an OTA software update

Alas, using Google Maps still crashes on the first attempt after turning the GPS on. Irritating. I was hoping that was going to get fixed.

HTC EVO 4G gets an OTA software update

The only restarts I had were involving the GPS nav services. Haven't been brave enough to retry it again after the update.

HTC EVO suffering from glass separation issues?

@benthe1
Mine has been free of the separation issue and I have full responsiveness on the screen even when not grounded. Kind of weird there is this much variability on the builds. I wonder if there are other environmental circumstances not being accounted for.

IGN layoffs hit all divisions of media giant

Mar 16th 2010 6:54PM (Joystiq)
Klepto is right though. I don't trust IGN for reviews or previews any more. They positively gush about games they get exclusive previews for. When review time comes around they slice and dice the game for all its failings. If they'd commented on a few of those flaws in the previews instead of glowing praise prior to the review gutting, maybe the developers would have made some changes.

JooJoo revamps interface ahead of launch, adds local video playback -- and changes color

Mar 11th 2010 10:35AM (Engadget)
@(Unverified) The point bebop was making is that it takes a PHD to do that. Your average user just wants to click twice (better yet, default install) and have a cool looking UI. Sadly, the general consumer just doesn't want to have to figure anything out on their own.

Newest Aliens vs. Predator trailer explores the title's heritage

Jan 23rd 2010 5:44PM (Joystiq)
At least the opinions are balancing the overly optimistic IGN ones. I guess you can't get a balanced truthful opinion on a game and still get early access to it. I really hope this one doesn't suck.

Microsoft teases Capcom 'premiere' for Xbox 360

Jan 22nd 2010 12:25PM (Joystiq)
These stupid pre-announcement hype announcements are really grating on my nerves. Platinum is right. These things usually end up being a total let down.

Leopard and Snow Leopard flaw exploited in proof of concept, real-world tomfoolery surely coming soon

@B3astofthe3ast
Nothing.
For the 3 people that use it to surf the internet it might be a potential risk, but still very unlikely. If it really is a problem, Sony will patch it in their next update so the homebrew crowd can't exploit it for useful purposes.
