Tim Schafer walks us through Brutal Legend's beginning

Jul 3rd 2009 12:09AM (Joystiq)
OK, I watched just enough to know I want this game.

Bob Marley Biopic -- No Music, No Movie

Mar 21st 2008 1:17PM (Cinematical)
Marleys music was reduced to a commodity long ago. Just notice how many times the same songs have been released on countless CD's.

Anyway, to me it's a no brainer that you wouldn't want to Marley movies coming out at the same time.

I have no doubt that the Scorsese documentary will be far, far superior in quality to the biopic.

My fear of the biopic is that it will be a lame attempt at duplicating the Johnny Cash / Ray Charles formula. Also, when I read that Rita was hoping to have Marley family members play parts in the movie I lost all hope of it being a top quality project.

The Marley family MUST block the biopic and ensure the documentary gets made.

Rumor: Gamespot's editorial director fired over Kane & Lynch review

Hey Gamespot, how much money is Eidos gonna pay you when your reader base diminishes?

Way to think short term at the expense of your reputation. A journalist has nothing if not a good reputation.

Rumor: Gamespot's editorial director fired over Kane & Lynch review

Nov 30th 2007 1:48AM (Joystiq)
Jeff Gerstmann is the main reason I subscribed to the Gamespot podcast and have the site bookmarked.

His reviews are detailed and always give a good idea of what to expect from a game.

His sense of humor really shined on the podcasts.

I will say, his grammer is a bit sloppy at times, but that may reflect more on the site editors (or lack of) than of him.

Anyway, now that the video review has been taken down and the written review cannot be found (unless explicitly searched for) I have about as much confirmation of the validity to this story as I need.

I will no longer listen to the Gamespot podcasts and I will no longer visit their site. I hope that I will be able to hear from Jeff soon at a more reputable site.

Gamespot should no longer exist. The poor guys who still work their should probably start looking elsewhere. Hopefully they won't sink with the ship.

From the comments here, most people agree with him.

WSJ: Google preparing $4.6 Billion or more for slice of 700MHz spectrum

Nov 16th 2007 6:21AM (Engadget)
Hmmm... If AT&T or Verizon were to win the auction the resulting services and products would be fairly predictable, expensive, and boring.

If Google wins the auction it will initially mean some cool innovative use of the spectrum, but then they will slowly use their power to make the rest of us their slaves.

Hmmm... who to root for?

Plenty of publishers turned down Bioshock

best demo ever. REally.

Rock Band slays 2007 Game Critics Awards

Aug 1st 2007 2:28AM (Joystiq)
How is it that Killzone 2 has better graphics than Crysis?

Anyway, overall it looks like a great list of games, and I pretty much would want to play them all. Just don't have the time.

Rock Band: Nirvana's 'Nevermind,' real venues and a possible release date [Update]

Jul 28th 2007 3:31AM (Joystiq)
This game is turning into a must buy. Even if most of the time I would be playing by myself.

Can your band mates be online?

[Updated] Jeff Bell asks message board user: "And your contribution to society is ... what?"

Jul 19th 2007 3:54AM (Joystiq)
I hope that Jeff Bell isn't posting anonymously in a public forum on topics that are directly related to his job as a high level employee at MS.

That's a no-no and would potentially (most likely) be violating MS's standards of business conduct (or most companies SBC for that matter).

If you work on a certain product it might be tempting to go out and convince people to buy your product (in all sorts of subtle and not so subtle ways) under the guise of a common non-partisan person.

Or you may wish to engage with competitors in order to coerce some inside information to gain a competitive advantage all without revealing your position or your employer.

These may seem like great ideas, but most(all) companies command their employees to do business above board with honesty and integrity (basic ethics).

Of course I'm saying all of this without any clue of what Jeffs involvement on NeoGAF is.
