Podcast Rodeo for August 19: Ears - Where everybody knows your name

Seriously, are you guys getting rid of that collection any time soon? I'll find them a nice home.

BioShock PC demo gets unconfirmed

I've a gaming PC and no 360. Why would I want similar yet less versatile and completely inferior hardware?

No demo.

Oh no, the sky is falling.

New iMacs feature DirectX 10-compatible ATI Radeon GPUs

Geee, DX 10 doesn't matter, which is why the Radeon are being set standard in the line, right? I wonder where the mac-tards like you who repeatedly downplayed windows were when Apple made the compatibility for the OS a feature for the mac? Oh, you're busy saying how "most people don't use it", which is of course why Apple made it an integral feature. Good job.

And contrary to your self-righteous rant, most people already know what the target market of a mac is. I love how outraged you are when somebody has the nerves to point out any kind of flaw in your product of choice. Right, it's not enough that you can like the product, but since the product isn't supposed to be a graphics powerhouse, then it automatically makes it immune to any mention of it as a shortcoming, give me a fucking break. Anyone who's taken Marketing 101 can spot you as the textbook brand loyalist a mile away.

I actually did build quite the powerful tower for around $1,200. Are you going to track me down and beat the shit out of me now? Yeah, keep talking macho on the internet, little boy.


To Syco: It's not really sensible to account the full retail price of the OS into the cost of the system. There's a lot more cost involved when you're talking about vending a physical item through a retail channel. You're effectively eliminating much of the logistics and marketing costs of selling a separate physical product when you're including the software pre-installed on a machine. There are obviously more complexities to that equation, but at the end of the day the costs do not directly translate between pre-installed software and its retail version.

Those are some pitifully weak specs for a $1.2K computer.

Joystiq impressions: Folklore (PS3)

Interesting, the game mechanic sounds like it takes a page from the Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow playbook.

I think it's Mario Kart.

Content-wise, it was definitely not a good press conference for people not interested in wiifit, myself included; the presentation was pretty also pretty dry and bland. The "big 3" were fine but they didn't really bother selling them at all.

Reggie's last point about games taking over as the primary entertainment outlet is interesting. This is a point that'll be salient in the future.

Overall it was disappointing, it's Sony's move right now to rally the "hardcore" fanbase. Nintendo did do way too much (or too little depending on how you look at it) to alien that segment.

Microsoft defending Xbox Live price

"Wow! I haven't seen so many paid viral people post in one place at one time. Since when did posts have proper spelling, sentance structure, etc? This just goes to show that 60% of the comments that are tied DIRECTLY to one system are paid for. You know it to be true."

No, but we now know that simpletons can't fully comprehend a world more complex than their delusional black and white interpretation of it.
