The Week in Review

The Week in Review

We know you're all busy, so we've rounded up some of the week's top stories and compressed them into handy bite-sized chuncks. Enjoy them with our compliments.

The Sincerest Form of Flattery
Finally, something that's gotten Korean gamers all kinds of annoyed. H.A.V.E. Online is a class-based FPS from publisher SK iMedia. That's not what's making Korean gamers angry though, it's that the promotional trailer bares certain similarities to Team Fortress 2. Naturally, SK iMedia has denied claims that they've ripped off Valve's hit shooter, releasing a statement saying: "Debating [whether or not it's a rip-off] is like having blind men touching an elephant and describing what it looks like," the company said. "We will reveal the gameplay soon. Other than that, we have no comment at this time."

It probably makes more sense in Korean... (link [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/92907-Does-New-Korean-Game-Rip-Off-Team-Fortress-2])

I like this, it allows me to see all the news stories with a nice convenient little blurb about the article.

Well, Now I know what's going on, I like it!

All? No. Most of the good ones? Yes.

This idea I like, keep it up.

If mickey mouse wielded a chainsaw, I would buy a ps2 to play it on.

*nom nom* Mmm...bite-sized news stories.

Good summary of the week, Nil. Of course, not necessary for people like me who have OCD for the Escapist News Room.

First thing I do when I get up in the morning is switch on the computer and check the News Room, in the vain hope that VALVe will have announced TF2 updates for the X360, or that the release for Scribblenauts has been moved up.

*sigh* A man can dream, though...

Seriously, what the hell is happening to the entertainment industry.

One week, celebrities start dropping like flies.
The next week, some of the biggest gaming companies start being swapped around like Pokemon cards.

Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Tupac came back from the dead as a zombie next week.

I second this sentiment

I likes me my small news. Can't stand to watch it on TV, these days I get all my news either from you guys (in random topics) or on Yahoo while I'm checking my e-mail.

 

[Say Anything]

I have nothing really to add to the previous comments, but I'd just like to mention I also appreciate this "Week in Review" thing. I already read about all these articles, but sometimes good ones slip past me and this'll help me catch up if I miss anything. Thanks!

 

[Capo Taco]

Nice week in review!

 

[Jumplion]

I like this idea, is this just an experiment or will this be a regular thing? I like the idea of putting a news story for every day of the week (Monday-Friday), that would be cool.

The elephant thing makes a lot of sense in English, too. Don't tell me you've never heard the story about the blind men and the elephant? Each one grabs hold of a different part: the first one touches the side, thinks it's a wall, one touches the trunk, thinks it's a snake, the next touches the ear, thinks it's a fan, another touches the tusk, thinks it's a spear, one touches the leg, thinks it's a tree. And last but not least, one grabs the tail and thinks it's a rope. And they all get into this big debate about which one is right.

It's an Indian tale that was probably translated by some Englishman.

Week's news condensed? Brilliant Idea. I usually check the site once a day or so, but i've been away on holiday this week, and was hoping I didn't miss some important news. So I get back online for the first time, and what do I see? You've read my mind. Thanks!

I like this function. Gets you all sorts of news without going to five different threads.

 

[scotth266]

Damn. I had a similar idea rumbling 'round the back of my brain, only it was going to be in Youtube form. I was still gonna give credit to the Escapist though: you guys are my news source for all things awesome.

While I won't be making use of this feature much, it's a nice thing for those who don't have as much time as I do to read all the news that comes out over the week.

 

[Jsnoopy]

yayyyyy, everybody loves bite sized chunks. and brownies.
