    Your Last Fable Character

    I have no idea who you are responding too but I'm guessing it was me. My second play through was an evil transvestite. Malicious as hell and wore dresses. However, with the first character I played I choosed the paths that were closest to what I would would choose. He did lots of good things...

    Are exclusives important?

    A console having exclusives doesn't "make or break" a console in my eyes. It's having GOOD exclusives that make the difference.

    Helter Skelter

    One of my lecturers said the Don Quixote, a book about a man who read so many chivalry novels that he thought he was a knight, lampooned on the paranoia about novels when they first became popular. However, I haven't found anything since that backs her up on this. If it is true then this belief...

    97: Mario Reads Minds

    I'm for this form of computer interaction. I heard about technology simlar to this about 4-6 years ago on a tv program. Can't remember what the program was though. They were originally using the headsets for paraplegics so they could interact with objects about their house. They had it at a...

    97: LEGO Games

    That brikwars game looks fantastic. I'll need to convince someone to give me a game. I'll also need to dig out my old briks.

    It's OK to Advertise - If We Like You

    I think I'm more against spyware completely. I feel even just monitoring you web habits is intrusive enough and I fail to see how it can't count as invasion of privacy. If they can get away with that whats to stop them there. I don't frequent porn or warez sites, yet I do have things I need to...

    Tiga Questions Value Of Game Courses

    My university has had a Master degree course for post-graduates for a while before I came. I joined the Bacherlor Degree course though on it's second year running and quite a few things were changed due to feedback from the year ahead of me.

    It's OK to Advertise - If We Like You

    I thought I might mention that EA's games, like Madden and Need for Speed, will give you adverts based on the web pages you visit. Just adding even more intrusion with their adverts.

    96: Vision Doesn't Sell Copies

    I'm now kind of annoyed I didn't buy Viewtiful Joe. I was going to but some other game must have demanded my money and attention. Looking at release dates I guess it was F-Zero GX coming out next week (in europe).

    Tiga Questions Value Of Game Courses

    I'm currently sitting one of those courses and my classmates view on the course is varied. The most common remark is that they feel the content doesn't seem relevant. I feel the content is often relevant but is too varied. Each semester, on my course, one of the 3 modules has been tailored...

    The Digg Key Party

    Strong stuff. Considering this code was found in Febuary and the Digg has nothing to do with it's discovery, it's sick that the AACS will take it out on them. The people who put so much effort bullying the Digg, to the extent the don't consider it worth their while trying to save themselves...

    It's OK to Advertise - If We Like You

    I just used the Aston Martin as an example. After all, it is probably the most well known car manufacturer to be associated with 007. Since there are both Bond films and games, also Bond is known for product placement, it seemed to be a good point. However, I couldn't think of a film that was...

    It's OK to Advertise - If We Like You

    Sometimes advertising in a game can work and sometimes it can't. It's easy to compare the games industry to the film industry so I'd like to make this point. Any form of advertsiing that wouldn't work in a film should never be applied to a game. Placing an Astin Martin in a Bond film...
