Those are two fantastic machines you have. you are one lucky fellow.

toys.

no streaming for me as of yet

no cablecard for me

I guess I would be making the big upgrade from shameful basic cable to the super duper digital HD magical action TV.

and I could then justify my desire to wrangle myself a next gen system on which I could bask in the glory of Guitar hero II in HD.

thanks!

perhaps the ideal length of a game should be determined using the same criteria as a good book. Make it as long as it needs to be not a sentence more not a sentence less. Don't leave anything out of the game but don't ramble on. Gamers are smart, they will drop a game as soon as they feel like the experience is begining to smell like filler. I have better things to do then repeat the predictable.

This is damaging to Ubisoft because it reveals information that is typically leveraged by the publisher to obtain mag covers, exclusive article space online, and other promotion type press coverage. When a publisher reveals all the titles accidentally like this, they lose the opportunity to give a website or mag "the exclusive" scoop.

a game is a game. A story is a story. The 2 have nothing to do with one another. It is great if you get both in a single package but adding a super story to a bad game does not make the game fun.

I would rather have my designers researching game mechanics and trying different mechanics until they get something fun instead of reading a book.

Guitar hero. what was the story again?
oh yea, it was just fun. no story needed.
