Video walkthrough: the new Xbox 360 Dashboard

Jul 16th 2008 4:27PM (Joystiq)
There's a huge elephant in the room that no one's grabbed on...
Jericho Trailer in Primetime?! One of the greatest shows ever, and one of the most mistreated shows by executives, canceled twice, and there's a "trailer" for it??

Anyhow, love the interface, hate how the narrator's voice make every sentence a question.

Ohio library now loaning video games

Jul 1st 2008 9:37PM (Joystiq)
Libraries here in Maryland have also been doing this for years. Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, and PC games, and a pretty good selection. 3 day free check-out, and you can extend an additional 3 days free over the Internet.

eBay most commonly. If I need it now, then GameStop.

Counting Rupees: Digital Rights Madness

May 26th 2008 9:35PM (Joystiq)
My biggest issue is companies "allowing" me to play a game I've purchased. What happens when they no longer allow you? What happens in 10 years from now, when you want to replay Mass Effect, just as you would an old story? Will the activation servers still be online? Will the company really release a patch to remove activation at that time? Will the company goes out of business and screw over all of their customers?

All these questions are raised with DRM like this.

Bushnell: New encryption chip to effectively end PC gaming piracy

May 25th 2008 6:09PM (Joystiq)
You don't hack the encryption; there's no need to. The program had a routine to reference the TPM, one to send a key query, another to verify results, and eventually pass a GO or NOGO to the app. All you have to do is find one of those points (the last being the obviously best) and just JMP past them and institute your own valid check response.

Obviously, that's putting it lightly. There are layers of obfuscation and other hurdles, but this is not as difficult as people think.

Fanswag Weekly: Lost Odyssey

Luckily, I don't remember my dreams :) But, if I did, I'm sure there would be a pyramid of hot chocolate syrup involved.

My wife doesn't mind much, as long as I don't play it in front of my son.

And I just love driving around reeking havoc on the city.

Grand Line Auto: Waiting for GTA IV (Baltimore suburbs edition)

Hazzard county... err, Harford county, represent! :)

Nope, didn't get in line. I still need to play through Eternal Sonata and Metroid Prime 3. By the time I finish those, GTA4 will be half its price on eBay :)
