On PS3 and Blu-Ray

My good friend Ozymandias has been going off lately about the decision to put a Blu-Ray drive in the PlayStation3. Aside from the fact that he works for Microsoft, I really don’t see how he could argue that the Blu-Ray drive is not exactly the right move for games on PS3, when it comes [...]

Three under 30

If you don’t know these people, you should! Upcoming game industry titans. Mark my words!

PS3 appears in Germany

Introduction to the PS3 retail unit, on Game Trailers today. Video below.
There’s also an interview with SCEA president Kaz Hirai on CNet.com. No commentary from me on either of these!

Traveling man

I recently made the trek northward to Seattle to visit a few game console manufacturers… surprisingly enough, they both let me in the front door! Thanks guys!

Lunch by the Bay

Yesterday at lunch I walked down and picked up a salad from my favorite little local deli. I was thinking about coming straight back to the office – that is, until I realized there was a ball game going on!
I strolled over to the spot where I have been having lunch on the rocks [...]

Tornado Generator

I love this little machine at the San Francisco Airport. It’s in a section at the end of the concourse for United flights, where there are a few science-oriented toys for kids. Every few minutes, if not disturbed, a tornado will form in the smoke. If someone walks past the machine, the [...]

Good Wired article on Sony

There’s a sizeable article in this month’s Wired magazine on Sony and the PlayStation3. It’s basically a broad piece talking about how the PS3 is an expensive box, how it tries to appeal to many divisions of Sony as well as to many different consumers, and also endeavors to push forward Blu-Ray in a [...]

Mike Wallace embarrasses the U.S.

As if things could get any worse (oh okay, I suppose they could), 60 Minutes’ 88-year-old correspondent Mike Wallace recently traveled to Iran to interview President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
If you google this interview, you’ll find all sorts of opinions about it. Largely, they paint Iran’s president as a kook. Of course they do, everyone [...]

Having fun at Gamefest

I’m having a great time at Microsoft’s Gamefest. I have SO much to learn, which of course makes me incredibly happy. I love learning new things.
The size of this conference is comparable to the Austin Game Conference, or Montreal International Game Summit. I think arguably this is the second largest developer [...]

Getting ready for Microsoft Gamefest

I arrived in Seattle today. The airports weren’t bad at all; they weren’t too bad Friday evening either, when I returned to San Francisco from Los Angeles. It is aggravating to have to leave fluids behind, as it makes carting around contact lens fluid in those lousy flip-top containers pretty much impossible. [...]
