I finally canceled both. We don’t order enough movies or games to make either of these services pay off, financially. The result would have been different if the Netflix Video On Demand service supported OS X.

My Take
Thursday, March 27, 2008
Patapon: I normally can’t stand rhythm games, but this one is a ton of fun.
iPhone SDK: Finally! Looks great to me, but I am not happy about the ‘no background apps’ policy. I’d like 3rd party chat apps and feed readers to be able to alert me from the background. Hopefully, background [...]
Geometry Wars: Galaxies (DS)
Thursday, November 29, 2007
The Nintendo DS version of Geometry Wars: Galaxies shipped yesterday. I picked up mine at GameStop along with Petz Wild Animals: Dolphinz (for Samantha). I don’t know if the dolphins game is any good, but Galaxies is incredible.
Some quick thoughts:
It uses the same control scheme that my homebrew game, Extreme Onslaught [...]
Microsoft SideWinder Mouse
Wednesday, September 26, 2007
Update: Bought a Sidewinder this weekend and it is wonderful! I find myself actually using thumb buttons for once. Also, the mouse is wide and comfortable. It’s nice to see that the container for the weights and alternative feet holds the cord really well. The cord holding feature was clearly not [...]

OK, OK, OK. You can stop asking for a version of Extreme Onslaught that works on Slot 1 DS Flash Cards. Here it is!! Thanks for testing it Kris!
Great so far…

I’m halfway through Bioshock on the PC (widescreenmod!) and William Gibson’s new book, Spook Country. Both are great so far.
I’m also really enjoying this season of Eureka!
LittleBigPlanet - new videos

Great new LittleBigPlanet video: GameSpot interview/demo.
I’d embed it, but you really owe it to yourself to go watch the HD version.
LittleBigPlanet at E3 2007
Thursday, July 12, 2007
Matt pointed me to this excellent new LittleBigPlanet video. As you can tell from past posts on this blog: I can’t wait for this game! Thanks Matt!
LittleBigPlanet Details
Tuesday, May 15, 2007
The Wikipedia article has great info about LittleBigPlanet (one of the most anticipated PS3 titles), but it doesn’t contain some of the gems you’ll find in the Edge magazine article or issue 71 of developmag.
Here are some quotes from Edge I found interesting:
In Edge, director Alex Evans says “… you might have to [...]
Almost 1 Month with my PS3
Friday, April 13, 2007
I bought a PS3 after seeing the GDC presentations about Home and LittleBigPlanet. At that point I decided it was only a matter of time.
Cross Media Bar (XMB): I don’t own a PSP, so the PS3 was my first interaction with the XMB. It’s really a great interface construct and I can see [...]
LittleBigPlanet: I guess I always knew I’d EVENTUALLY need to buy a PS3.

Update: The top video is the complete, uncut demo with commentary:
Way to BEHAVE, Sony!!!
Friday, December 15, 2006
Sony announced that all proceeds from their new game, an online version of the Pirates Constructible Strategy Game, will go to Childs Play, the incredibly awesome (3 years running) charity organized by Penny-Arcade!
Honestly, a move like that makes me completely disregard the alliwantforxmas indiscretion. Way to GO!
Spore Interview
Tuesday, December 5, 2006
There’s a great interview at PC Gamer with Morgan Roarty of the Spore team. The primary topic is the vehicle editor, but there’s also bits and peaces about the status of the overall game. I hope they are merciful and release a demo at the beginning of next year so we don’t have [...]
Battlefield 2142 - Player Profiles. Too much information?
Sunday, November 12, 2006
EA just launched a portal for viewing your and other players’ Battlefield 2142 stats (including unlocks and rank). Stats for my soldier, BadWolfOne, can be seen at this link. Currently, BadWolfOne is a Master Seargent Gold. I unlocked both recon trees, most of general and I have 2 unused unlocks.
The progress section [...]
