I sure hope it's free. It's a marketing app. Why would I pay to be marketed to?

Oh wait...I forgot I pay for cable...

That's pretty awesome that they do that.

I like when a publisher can admit to the flaws of the system, such as installation times. Reminds me of "Plants vs Zombies" being packaged with Fallout 3, or the numerous mini-games that came packaged with The Sims. Too bad they didn't have one you could play while you waited for the frames too load during the game itself.

I was wondering the same thing. If apple wants another 2k+ out of me, they'll need to offer more than an anti-glare screen. It's a good addition, but not $2000 good.

Alright...
I'm a little tipsy, and that may be the reason why, but I don't think I get it.

Ps: I didn't post the new throw down, and there's a reason. Hit me up for the deets.

D: I am definitely digging yours - we did take two different approaches, that's for sure!

I played with the idea of including the Xbox logo, but ultimately decided against it- however I am partial to your treatment of it. I am glad to see that we both got rid of all the useless marketing/informational crap that nobody reads once they buy the game anyway.

I'm looking forward to the next throwdown with bated breath. Can't wait for you to let us know the subject ;)

Re: SEO Isn’t That Important

George Gumpert — Fri, 19 Mar 2010 14:08:17 -0000

I've left this comment spam here to show exactly the kind of shady behavior SEO leads to. There are plenty of SEO companies out there who will employ spambots to come to our sites and leave BS comments stuffed with keywords linking back to their sites...not to get visitors from our sites, but rather to soak up our page rank and use it to their own advantage.

Too bad for you, I have nofollow on all my links, so while your comment stays, you get zero search engine effect from it.

Re: Poopbooking Part Deux

George Gumpert — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 13:07:09 -0000

I have to say, I stumbled with what to call that post.

It was a tossup between poopbooking and facepooping. The SEO ramifications of the latter forced me into choosing the former.

Re: You Think You Like Macs? Rapping Apple Fanatics Have You Beat [VIDEO]

Yup. With three words: Native application support.

Don't get me wrong, I love my Ubuntu system. But (for the work I do- Graphic Design), it just makes no sense for me to use it from a productivity standpoint.

No, I will not use Gimp instead of Photoshop, I will not use Inkscape instead of Illustrator. They're both good programs, but not Adobe equivalent good.

All the hardware in the world is useless if it can't run the software you need.

And before anyone responds that with a system like that you can run everything in a Virtual Machine, that kinda defeats the purpose, doesn't it? I mean, the cost of all that hardware far exceeds the cost of any consumer line mac- which is more than capable of running the aforementioned software. Factor in time costs to get everything working right, and the "Apple Tax" doesn't sound so bad for something that works out of the box...

Re: YouTube: Rickroll Removal Was a Mistake

George Gumpert — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 08:58:27 -0000

It's not a rickroll when they make no attempt to hide it.

From Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
The meme is a bait and switch: a person provides a web link that they claim is relevant to the topic at hand, but the link actually takes the user to the Astley video. The URL can be masked or obfuscated in some manner so that the user cannot determine the true destination of the link without clicking. When a person clicks on the link and is led to the web page, he or she is said to have been "Rickrolled".

Seeing a big picture of Rick Astley's face is a darn good warning that "When you click the play button, you will see a Rick Astley video

Re: To Catch a Predator

George Gumpert — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 09:38:31 -0000

Ha! While you were watching "To Catch a Predator" SciFi was playing Predator while TBS (or was it AMC?) was playing Predator 2...maybe it was the other way around.

I actually thought this was in reference to that ;)
