Vinyl record iPod touch app gives you the spins

Apr 29th 2009 5:56PM (Engadget)
Now all this needs is an old turntable to keep it spinning...and to give you a better surface to scratch on. It'd be pretty easy to DIY too...so long as you had an old turntable around. But then...why would you use this? I think the app would have been a better idea had it just played the music and let you rub the screen to scratch and speed up/slow down/go back with the music. Less damage to teh iPhone.

Engadget's recession antidote: win a BeBook e-reader!

Mar 17th 2009 2:00PM (Engadget)
Hook me up, would love an e-reader.

The way I'd fix this economy is to abolish money, and just give people what they need. Everyone working for the betterment of our neighbors (but not in a communist kind of way, instead a perfect society where people just do things for people because it feels nice).

never happen, but utopia would be nice.

Fry's Electronics, The interwebs (specifically GoGamer.com for PC stuff, Gamefly for used games cuz I'm cheap like that, and rarely Target).

Another Oddworld title confirmed by creator

OMG! OMG OMG OMG!

Lourne said after Stranger came that he would be taking the company toward animated movies instead of games and I was nearly heartbroken by the news.

This is awesome news!

So uh...when the heck is DQIV going to come stateside. I'm almost rabid for it now -- if they don't hurry up I'll be forced to buy an import and try my luck at the english cheat code.

PSP software holds no place on 2007 bestseller list

Apr 13th 2008 3:27PM (Joystiq Playstation)
I'd still say maybe only 1 game released last year should have made the list due to it's sales, and that is the only game released last year that I bought, Castlevania Dracula X Chronicles. Of course, I just got the PSP in December, and it was for Wipeout, Castlevania, and the then upcoming GoW, FF7CC, Patapon.

I am honestly not interested in a single other game that came out last year. Except maybe Crush - but puzzle games rarely sell well so I am not surprised it's not on the list either.

To those of you blaming piracy, the corporations have got you believing what they want you to. Piracy is never the main culprit behind lack of purchases. To figure this out, how many people do you know that own PSP's? How many of them have Custom Firmware? How many games do they own? If they own none, ask them if they would have bought the PSP in the first place. Guarantee they will all say no.

For those that use Custom Firmware to play homebrew, they still buy games (I know one guy that doesn't own a single PSP game, doesn't pirate any either....he just got the PSP to be a portable emulation device, granted the games he's emulating I'm sure some he doesn't own).

Basically, all I'm saying is that a Pirate is a pirate, and the inability to do so won't magically make pirates say "hey, I guess I'll just buy games". Instead they'll pirate elsewhere.

DS piracy is retardedly easy too -- just costs money beyond the cost of the unit unlike the PSP which costs you some nervous moments, but DS exclusives are on the list (there's a lot more DS's too). And just like the PSP, those that use it for homebrew still buy their DS games.

Joystiq hands-on: Myst (DS)

Apr 7th 2008 7:22AM (Joystiq)
Loved the first Myst game, it came with a journal and I literally filled that thing up becoming enveloped within the world laid out before me. That was back when I still had imagination so it was easy to do :p.

This game will at least look better on the PSP -- so if I want a portable version I'll wait for that one. They really should have just gone with the highest quality still images on the DS and forgot about the animation -- the DS's strong point is not in 3D....even the best 3D games on it leave something to be desired. Certainly not up to par with what Myst would require.

Funny that this is announced though, I just installed Myst, Riven and Myst III on my laptop a couple days ago with the intent of playing through each.

Professor Layton and the Unlocked Content [update]

Eh, I could have told you that they were already on the cart. Where do you think it was storing this information? The game would cost a whole lot more if it could actually write megs of info to itself.
