You can sign up for an email alert right now on Bitmob.com. We'll see if it works when the time comes.... :)

Crispin and his wife bought it for me for my birthday! One of those Japanphile shops in Haight Ashbury in San Francisco. Little Robot or Giant Robot or something like that? Not sure of the store, but the label says "Super 7."

It is available on the web...only a bit late (see my next post here on Sore Thumbs for the link). They're pushing the app specifically for marketing/revenue reasons (advertising, etc.). It's just a different business model.

No, I liked it a lot and definitely appreciated what they tried to do (make it more accessible). But Chaos Theory's multi is definitely better. Way more hardcore, too.

It is, but here's what's all involved...dusting off xbox, finding my old cords, hooking it all up to my entertainment center, recovering my Gamertag account to that machine (which in itself is a long process), then getting three other players to be ready to play at that time before I'd need to recover my Gamertag back to my 360 to play any 360 games.

If all it was was hooking up the Xbox 1, that'd be easy. But I'd have to the account recovery back and forth between machines for one specific play session that I have to coordinate with three others. That pretty much kills it for me. :)

I have no idea, but I know 8-4 (the company) was involved in the translation. We need John Ricciardi here to answer some questions.

Nice detective work! Mystery almost solved. But I don't get it...how does this help this e-techblog website?

Re: Dan Sock?

danhsu — Fri, 13 Feb 2009 01:54:11 -0000

Oh, you flatter me, but I don't think it's like that. They were just doing a parody of gaming mags and needed some editor names, is all. :)

Nope!

I don't need to hold this over Crispin because I regularly wrestle -- and beat -- grizzly bears, and he's afraid of them.

Spoilers! ;) I haven't bought this game yet...trying to watch my finances with Project P coming up!

Re: Sore Thumbs

danhsu — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 13:17:08 -0000

OK, I'm sorta insanely busy trying to get Project P off the ground, but this will be something I revisit later, I promise! (You may have to remind me, though!) :)

Denny's: I wanted to, but didn't want to deal with the insane lines. And I wasn't sure I wanted to deal with all the crazies (San Fran has a huge homeless population), either. :)

We distributed a hard copy that was a photocopy from some periodical somewhere. I'm guessing it's not online. :(

Do you think there would be interest in discussing this topic here? (or on our new website) Like...writers trading writing tips with each other. Not that I'm an expert or a fantastic writer or anything, but I can certainly share tips from my years of editing....

Oh...it hasn't formally launched yet. Check back Feb. 14! But I don't think it's a normal video podcast. The video will be featured within a new iPhone/iPod Touch app that GCHD is designing....so I think you have to look for that rather than subscribing to a podcast.

Email interviews: Great for transcribing, great for keeping it short and more concise. But as an interviewer, I hate doing them because you don't get the real reactions of the interviewee. They have a chance to think about what they're going to write before they hit "Send," and you can't go back and forth with them as much to have a more conversational tone. You can't dig into anything in email like you can in person or over the phone. All my best interviews are done verbally...but they're a bitch to transcribe or edit down...especially if the people tend to repeat themselves like me!
