Podcast Rodeo for May 27: From ear to eternity

May 27th 2007 7:51PM (Joystiq)
Weekly upload. Check out weekly upload. Its weekly, its fomulaic, but things always go nuts and someone almost dies.

And then there is that girl from Bungie, who teases with her all-knowing silence and catty laughs

Sony explains God of War's dead goat antics

May 1st 2007 1:02AM (Joystiq)
It sounds like a historically accurate (more or less) reconstruction of the greek or roman feast. Watch the movie Satiricon - they do the same thing to a big at a Roman banquet. It looks crazy today, but thats how your ancestors ate. And, after dinner, they created Venus of Milos and Plato and the rest of the stuff you read about in school (including the architecture of half of Washington DC).

So, its bizzare that Sony gets slammed for bringing a little piece of history alive.

It just sounds like Sony is keeping the story alive and the 12 year old boys couldnt care less about the goat - they just see that Sony makes mistakes just like them and then they run to buy a PS3, cause "Sony understands me, whaaaahh".

Disclaimer: no 12 year old boys (or goats) were harmed during the creation of this post.

Blizzard job listing hints at 'Next-Gen MMO'

You gotta follow the Apple analogy:

WoW = iPod
nextgen MMO = iPhone?

WoW Wireless or WoWi!!!

Q.E.D.

Find love with 'Mii love you long time' shirt

May 1st 2007 12:46AM (Joystiq)
The shirt is insensitive, racially and sexually.

It evokes a negative image of a certain ethnicity (pop culture quiz failure or not) and a mysogenist (women-hating) image of women as sex servants.

Its also teal, which is the final nail in the coffin of its commercial prospects.

I cant imagine liking a person for wearing this shirt.

I dont see much value in figuring out whether its racist or not. That word is so loaded and confused, its practically a fighting word.

Xbox 360 still bumming cash from Microsoft

Apr 28th 2007 9:38AM (Joystiq)
If you read the MSFT 10Q (got to MS investor page, its their SEC-filed third quarter report) there is a lot of "some of the losses are due to warranty costs of the XBOX" meaning they had to repair A LOT.

They wouldnt put it in there unless it was a material fact, since the law requires them to state material facts.

So, no, the Xbox by itself is not yet profitable and being dragged down by its feeble cousins at EDD, its still very much on the juice and bumming $$ from aunt Vista.

Microsoft: Halo 3 will help us sell consoles

Apr 28th 2007 9:21AM (Joystiq)
@49 rfom

But think of how many 360 will have to be replaced when 72 hour halo3 marathons crisp them up. Thats like 7 million Elites right there.

All MS has to do is spread a rumor that Elite is .0005 ms faster response time than Premium in Halo3 and they will sell an additional 3 million.

@post

Just goes to shoe how dumb the financial analysts must be, if this fact must be regularly mentioned so they dont forget to include it in projections

Rumor: Crimson Skies sequel incoming

Apr 28th 2007 8:55AM (Joystiq)
If they arent they should, cause they are leaving money on the table.

That game truly was one of the most fun xbox 1 games. It was very well done. even if they repackage it for 360 itll sell.

I vote for CS3 and Rallysports Challenge 3.

PS3 launches in India, Xbox 360 in UAE

Apr 28th 2007 8:48AM (Joystiq)
Cant wait for the commercials.

If ps3 commercials in India maintain their wakiness lead over xbox commercials so brilliantly established in Europe, they should be ablsolutely glorious, since the Indian xbox commercials was a real hoot!

Nintendo says 14 million Wii sold by March '08

Apr 28th 2007 8:36AM (Joystiq)
Most of the time when I play flash games with girls they scream and run away. I even got arrested once.

Wii is much more fun, and makes girls happy

Maybe I dont know about this "designer" flash? Hmm
