Keep em comin. My vote is for "how to create soft web 2.0 highlights", although it will be a bit outdated once we reach Web 3.0 =P

Great tutorial! This is definitely a different method than I have always used. I'm going to try it out next time I have Photoshop open!

I, too, am not a big fan of the crazy graphic intensive games that are flooding the market. When it comes to a game like a car simulation or even a sports game, ultra-realistic graphics can add to the fun, but if the driving mechanic or the opposing team's AI sucks, then why should I even bother.

I get really excited seeing all of these re-makes of awesome side-scrollers. When the Bionic Command (ReArmed) game was announced I couldn't wait to check it out. I'm sure it'll be great fun!

Your comment about cutscenes really struck a chord with me, as well. My best example of this is Metal Gear Solid 3. I couldn't wait to play that game, but it took me almost 2 years to dredge through the first few hours of the game cause I was so turned off by the cutscenes. This is primarily the reason why I haven't even bothered with the latest installation (MGS4). If I wanted to watch a movie then I would do just that; when I'm holding a game controller I want to be playing a game...

As far as cool 2D side-scrollers go, be sure to check out Contra: Shattered Soldier for PS2 or Contra 4 for DS. They are great games and hold true to the original Contra gameplay with lots of pretty explosions and trademarked hellish difficulty.

Re: Lookout Below! Yahoo In A Sickening Slide

Sean, I would love to root for Yahoo. I used to trust them the way I trust Google now, using their services everyday. MyYahoo was actually open in my browser all the time. That is why I am making the call for vision and strategy to be exposed by their CEO... we need another vibrant and viable competitor to Google to keep them honest. However, it just is not happening. The traffic on Yahoo feels like the kind of traffic that used to be on AOL, i.e. somewhat naive and not willing to change.

While it may be true that Yahoo! has been suffering an identity crisis for a long time, they still remain a top destination for a wide demographic of Internet surfers.

And yes, I know it's not all about Alexa (#1) or Compete.com (131.8M visitors in May '08) ratings, but they have so much clout, I hope they can harness that energy and hit the nail on the head with some upcoming products, cause they definitely get the eyeballs when they release them.

Your comments about delicious and Flickr are spot on, those are the cream of the crop when it comes to social bookmarking and photos. As with any web service in which I invest a large portion of my time, I hope they stick around forever so I don't lose all the work I've put in to date.

My personal opinion about Yahoo! games is that they have the upper hand from others in that less accustomed Internet users might feel a little more trust when Yahoo! is downloading (or caching) something onto their machine versus a site of which they've never heard. Also, with so much traffic to the Yahoo.com home page, the sheer number of people who might happen to click on that "Games" link provides a huge advantage!

I love those gamelist widgets. It was a lot of fun to build that functionality and awesome to see one in the wild again!
