Playstation symbols actually mean something

By in Uncategorized

Click here I always wondered why Sony went with symbols instead of letters for their controllers. I just assumed it was so their controller wouldn’t look like a rip off of the SNES and Genesis controllers. I think this was a bit of a mistake as letters are, IMO, more user friendly.

The Street Fighter series is probably my favorite series of games. The comics aren’t bad either. Just avoid [...]

What’s your favorite hacking movie?

By in Uncategorized

Click here This site lists and give a brief review of the most popular movies having to do with hacking. From the ones that I’ve seen, Antitrust and Pirates of Silicon Valley are probably my favorites. Also the Matrix, naturally, but that one loses points for having two crappy sequels.

Nintendo Revolution announcement imminent

By in Uncategorized

Click here I’m hoping this is true because waiting for any official news on Ninty’s new system has been frustrating. I just hope the controller isn’t as gimmicky as I think it might be (Bongos, the next generation). The downside is that I won’t be able to read any quality blogs like this anymore: SeriousGamer007.

XBox 360 brochures leaked

By in Uncategorized

Click here. One interesting thing is that the wired controllers will work as a PC controllers right out of the box. I’m assuming they’re USB. I wish Microsoft would make up their minds about HD-DVD. I don’t want to buy an Xbox 360 knowing that: a. Price drop is inevitable when PS3 is released b. [...]
