Re: When should you give up on an idea?

Paragraph 3 provides a great framework for evaluating whether or not its time to move on. For example, omgpop had a version of Draw Something on omgpop.com for a while (It was called Draw My Thing. I think its two years old.) It was a great game but it required players to compete in real time on a desktop computer. However, once omg made the game asynchronous and mobile it took off.

I'm on the third song now. I'm truly enjoying mix. Thank you for sharing this with us!

"But each entrepreneur is still incentivized to grow their business, because it’s still their business. " I think this is the best strategy to employ if a strong network of local merchants is the key to your success.

You're so right. Its amazing that such an awesome post was buried in plain
text within pages of Reddit.

Nice to see you too!

I usually play as Chun-Li. I can't wait to play SF4. I hear the advanced moves are more accessible to the thumb challenged among us (points to self). Thanks for the stumble!

I had way too much fun with Gimp trying to water mark these pics. Doesn't everyone place the watermark in the middle to prevent uncredited re-posting? Oh well, I'll move the watermark next time. Thanks Sali :)

Joel Gourdin is the gentleman standing in the first picture. He was one of the hosts of the show. I don't see the resemblance at all :)

Re: Why I’m Done with Dell…

I'm glad I'm not the only one bothered by this. After visiting the page again I've seen that some changes have been made. 1) They've removed tech tips for calorie counting 2) They've thrown out the name Della. You'll notice that the pink logo is gone now. Dell is definitely listening to us. I look forward to seeing how they revamp the site.

Re: Is “Today I Die” a Feminist Game?

bukolae — Mon, 11 May 2009 18:11:09 -0000

Indeed. It's an unconventional game that can be frustrating. I think that as more to do with the way the game is set up. Once you figure it all out you're grateful for the experience.

Re: Gamer Jobs in New York

bukolae — Wed, 01 Apr 2009 14:14:40 -0000

Great question. I have no idea. I'm only familiar with what's going on in New York. And New York is hardly a gaming capital here in the U.S. I bet there are a couple of casual gaming shops based out of Chicago due to it's low real estate prices. You might want to check out the digital meetup scene in your area for leads.

Re: Homophobia on Xbox Live: Here’s Why

bukolae — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 13:55:25 -0000

You bring up a valid point. None of this has been confirmed by the Microsoft team in the UK. But I have yet to see any comment from them on this issue (they simply denied the claim and failed to comment). I also respect the Daily Mail's ability to fact check its stories. The article also mentions that Jamie Durrant is on government backed leave from his job. So something definitely happened there. And I think it's important to at least discuss it given the rampant homophobia that occurs on Live.

Re Gamer tags: I think the XBL policy should be applied across the board in reference to sexual orientation being mentioned in one's gamer tag. We either ban all references to sexual orientation in the tags or we allow it for everyone. Right now homosexuals on Live are being unfairly targeted and the XBL team needs to work on fixing that. They are paying customers too. They shouldn't have to feel the need to hide that part of themselves if straight gamers aren't being held to the same standard.

I know it's a delicate issue. But I think this is an opportunity for Live to make the customer experience awesome for anyone who wants to play online.

Re: Lame Women in Games: Maria of Castlevania

bukolae — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 00:01:11 -0000

The game developers decided to give us what they thought we wanted from her character. Instead we got an empty character that is serves as a strange sideshow. As a female gamer I have to say that it's incredibly disappointing.

Re: Gamer’s Book Shelf: Gaming Books For You

I had a chat with a friend of mine who works for Random House. She sent me a couple of gaming titles they've published. I'll see if I can find a list of 10 or so books that would be good to check out.

Now I wonder if I should come up with a Gift Guide for geeks/gaming nerds. Would you be interested in that sort of thing?

The Ultimate History of Video Games could easily become my favorite. I want to learn more about the business of the gaming industry. And I think this book gives the reader a glimpse into the budding stages of the industry.

My definition of hacking: Using someone else's account or software without their consent. Ryon's point of entry was simple but it was still a hack to me ;)

It might be taking place online. Shoot Mitch a note to find out.
