Deals like this are making it very difficult to wait for the inevitable 3DS redesign with two circle pads. Very difficult indeed.

I haven't posted this opinion here, but I actually represent the opposite of most responses to this format change. I had stopped listening to the Joystiq Podcast for about three months or so, until they announced that they were calling it quits. Then I hopped back on to listen to the last episodes. They were great, to be sure, but I get the change.

So yeah, I like the new format. The new format got me listening to the show on the regular again. But I agree that the developer interviews are very, very dull. I'd recommend you check out some of the interviews that NiemenLab.org and other websites have done with Jesse Thorn, and listen to some of his advice on the topic. He gives some pretty great blueprinting for compelling interviews that engage the subject and give them quality, specific questions to address, without pinning them down with controversy. He's had a decade of experience, and it shows in his interviews. I think it could really help you out.

My friends are on my couch and my 360 friendslist. I'll wait for that release to take the plunge, as fun as this looks.

I'm glad that Chris raised the complaint flag on the 3DS' resolution. It's ridiculously low in the time of retinal displays. If the system can churn out Wii quality graphics (or even better) then it should have a better screen.

At least match the Wii's 480i standard def capabilities. 400x240 pixels, though, and you want people to watch cinematic content? Yikes.

I'll probably wait a year for the inevitable hardware refresh and better games. But even then, the screen will be a tremendous disappointment.

Guys, there's something wrong with your new video player. It's incredibly stuttery, there's this vertical rectangle of space in the dead center where the video seems to refresh significantly less quickly than the rest of the player, and you can't use the scroll wheel on the Age Gate prompt at the beginning. It really makes it a chore to consume your content. Please look into it.

Tried to facetime again with somebody today. This is getting pretty troublesome.

It hung up on a call with my dad twice today, put me on mute once. I think I need to take it in.

My face just turned on facetime. Stupid, vain face.

Risk: Black Ops is beautiful and I promise to care for it, always.

The headline is pretty misleading, it makes it sound like the credits in the game itself have been edited. Maybe toss a "video" up there?
