Notch's new space game is called ... Mars Effect?! [April Fools!]

@killer rin

That is actually the best bet as far as I can see. But then, people would have to read who articles, and I know some people on forums don't read. But I do agree, it shouldn't be in the title, the end is the best place to put it.

Jordan Mechner finds original Prince of Persia source code

That's kinda cool. Does anyone know what this was written in? Was it written in some Assembly Language for Apple II, or something along the lines of C.

The life of a Sim in SimCity

Wacky Firefox acting up....

That is the only thing I could think of. Modeling every aspect of this game with each Sim being a factor, especially if a city gets over a million people would be amazing. Hopefully they will really take the time to optimize this game for multiple cores, dual core minimum but hopefully quad core as well.

Hideo Kojima recalls Snatcher's heat-activated disk (what?)

Heat activated disc + Hideo Kojima, all I could think of was Metal Gear Solid, walking back and forth for that stupid PAL card to change configuration.

Amazon: Buy one, get one on Ubisoft DRM-free PC downloads

But if they used Steam, wouldn't that cancel out DRM Free?

Rock Band Weekly: Huey Lewis and the News

Honestly, they have a keyboard, I would love it if they just released a Weird Al Rock Band. There are so many songs on Rock Band as it is that Weird Al has parodied, it would be fairly simple to add Accordian parts with the keyboard where required.

Weird Al Rock Band would be day one purchase. Along with a purchase of some hard liquor, to open up my signing qualifications.

I need to be drunk to sing.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (NES) pulled from Virtual Console

Feb 14th 2012 2:56PM (Joystiq)
I am curious. Since it is going to be pulled, if for some reason it gets deleted to make more room on someones Wii, can i be redownloaded. This is a serious question, because if it can not be redownloaded, this is a possible indicator on what could happen with digital download services. If someone decides to pull games, or goes out of business, customers could just end up screwed over.

Now, if this is just removed from sale, it isn't as bad if previous purchasers can redownload at will.

If someone owns the name, that means they can prevent someone else from using it.
