I spent a good portion of my college classtime programming number guessing games into my old TI. Pretty simple stuff... input a number and it tells you if you're too high or too low. It did, however, provide stats at the end such as number of guesses and a ranking.

And now I'm at work posting on Joystiq.

Some things never change.

At least Navi (the "personal assistant" fairy) from Ocarina of Time isn't getting her own game.

HEY! HEY! HEY! LISTEN!

OMG, she was so annoying.

Sega CD v2.0?

No, it won't happen. Not unless the install base is gigantic for the add-on in another year.

I'd love to know more, but both of the links in the post leading outside of Joystiq are blocked here at work. Reason? "One or more categories denied helper='WebBlocker-Out' details='Games'"

But here I am happily enjoying my lunch-hour with Joystiq, which apparently does not have "Games" related content. Hmm.

So, my question to non-blocked readers is this: Does Georgia's proposed public service announcement program utilize public funds (i.e. taxpayer dollars) for this parental education program?

I still remember the first time I saw that ad. I've never been so excited to share a piece of video with my friends. Thanks for bringing this one back, Autoblog!

Seriously folks, the fact that a glaring issues like this are getting missed throughout the development and testing of new 360 games is ridiculous.

I couldn't find any polls or percentages on users using HD vs. standard... anyone else know of info like that?

Carl Winslow should earn a few stars for his comment.

As for me, I admit I do it for the eye candy on occasion. Tekken, The Sims, and Tiger Woods (mentioned earlier) come immediately to mind. I plated Sims Online as a female as an experiment, and the treatment from others was noticeably different (free money, roommate offers, marriage proposals, etc.)

Basically, I tend to go female in any game that has a robust character creation process. It's way more fun to play build-a-babe than it is to create some dude. And isn't "fun" what gaming is all about?

The Power-Pad flat out sucked. How many of us ended up kneeling behind it and hitting the pad with our hands drum-style to win the 100 meter dash? Or score an insane long jump? That is my only memory of that infernal peripheral.

Over-the-top liberal outrage in the New York Times? Impossible. I'm sure Dick Cheney and "Big Oil" also had something to do with this new Hummer/McD's promotion... we'll have to wait for the unbiased investigative report.

Please tell me there will be a Tribble related mission. Perhaps an unlockable mini-game?
