Evening Reading
by Nick Breckon, Apr 23, 2009 6:00pm PDTHeading out tonight to see a radio show broadcast live in a movie theater. Which I guess is about as strange as reading a novel inside a videogame. Maybe I'll see some Elder Scrolls fans there.
A little news:
- I checked out BioShock 2, and offered an impression
- Red Faction: Guerilla demo
- Battlefield 1943 priced, scheduled; new trailer shows Wake Island
- Cool Peggle port for WoW released--addicts beware
- Batman: Arkham Asylum getting PS3-only Joker levels
FileShack: Unity of Command, Skyjacker
Daily Filter: Planetside 2, Deadlight
Weekend PC digital deals: strategy-o-rama
38 Studios, Harry Potter Kinect - Shacknews Daily: May 25, 2012

Games like Resident Evil 5 and Red Alert 3. I don't mind multiplayer, but I think forcing players to play with somebody else, whether they're controlled by the AI or another human player is a trend that's going in the wrong direction. Game developers aren't in a position to dictate our social habits and should leave that shit out of our games.

Right now I have a small room with my computer in it so it's no problem to have a small table behind me but my new place will most likely not have a wall to my rear to put a table against. I don't know how the fuck to set this up without making the room look strange.

We've been working on a product for the last year. We decided on a name for it around July-August 08 and I was in charge of registering the domain. I could have sworn I did and today when I went to redirect the domain to our server to get our beta online...I found out that I had not indeed registered it. Instead someone else bought it up around Jan 09.
Today is the day my teammates brutally murder me.

I'm sorry but after watching Wanted I realized one thing.
That is the worst movie I have ever seen in my entire life. And funny enough, the end of it locked down it's place as the worst movie in the history of the world.
