No cablecard.

My ex boss has one. But zero. I don't, might get one whenever Mass Effect comes out.

For the hardcore fighting game fans out there these apparently aren’t all that great. The spacing isn’t quite right for Street Fighter and they use a cheaper quality buttons/stick. You’re better off with a Mas Stick (http://www.massystems.com) or just using a controller hack with parts from Happ (http://www.happcontrols.com). Yes, I have spent way too much time in arcades.

That was crap.

The article was flawed in several ways:

1) Why point out females in the industry? Seriously, it's sexist.

2) The females they listed were... lacking. There were many PR-type people on there, a bunch of reviewers and journalists, very few people that really matter. (Sorry, it's true.)

3) Roberta Williams, pretty much created the adventure game genre, co-founder of Sierra Online, one of the biggest game companies in the 80's and 90's. Heck Jane Jensen and Lori Cole were more influential than most of these.

@6: Have you seen the trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean 2? Goofy hero, monster captain pirate, hoard of undead pirates, hidden island, a voodoo lady who lives in a swamp who guides hero, cannibles, hero seeking out a magical treasure (which will turn out to be nothing important). What more could you want?
