SteveNote Expo game: only you can get Jobs prepped for Macworld keynote
With CES in the books, banners flying up and rumors running rampant, only one thing could be on the horizon: Steve's Macworld 2008 keynote. Unfortunately, it seems he's a bit short on time, and needs you to access a totally awesome web-based game to help round up garb, VIPs and top-secret gear before taking the stage. Okay, so all of that is complete rubbish, but if you've got a moment to kill and can't stop obsessing over next Tuesday, hit the read link and have a laugh.

Somebody got a case of the fanboy.
Sheesh.
Whoever made this is good and shouldn't be wasting their time.
Ok, Engadget, you guys did an incredible job at CES. It really turned my opinion of this around quite a bit.
But this is just plain stupid. This seems like an electronic version of those fun mat games you used to get at McDonalds.
We all know there are going to be all types of Apple related stories that you are going to be posting, but try to remember the quality of your CES coverage and keep the fluff down.
Even I want to read some of the coverage but not if it's going to be the quality of this kindergarten trash.
Look. We all know that Apple is currently the golden boy of computer-ish gadgets. Their's might not be the best toys, they might seem oppressive and unwilling to let tinkerers tink, but until some other company can create such a powerful media hype/blitz/image that people with disposable incomes buy into - you're just going to have to sit there and deal with it. Like a big boy. Apple is capitalism maximus.
Well, whoever made it is good, but they also know that anything "Apple" will create a fanboy frenzy. If this shitty game was about anything besides Steve Jobs, Engadget definitely would not have posted it, would they?
It's sad. Really sad. But true.

Okay. This wasn't news, really. It probably didn't enrich anybody's life to know that there's a cheesy Stevenote game. Some people think this stuff is a waste of time, and some people think crapgadget segments are a waste of time. If you prefer oranges, don't bother complaining about the Apples.
yay! one of the few graphic games playable on a mac!
jk
Don't be like that... There are at least four or five other games! :)
Let's see there's Battlefield 2142, Halo 1... Any others?
UT2003
wow lol, why are u guys getting so pissy, he was obviously being sarcastic, and even put "jk" at the end LOL jeez
According to E-TARD, Apple is going out of business in a few years. So, What Apple does now won't matter.

Ha ha ha! The last item is "one more thing".
True, A little too "Fanboyish" but drop your hate and play the game. I thought it was clever and dare i say fun...
that Jobs pic looks like "kevin" from Sin City
Well, it kept me going for a while, but no funny reward at the end of the game, to bad
*picks notes about blu-ray on the macs*
Apparently the person who made that picture has never seen Sin City......*shivers*
shouldnt there be a button for stamping "i" in front of everyday words and then patenting that word and making a mediocre product based on that word and charging an ungodly price?
That was a really absolutely terrible game.
So he was ranked low because of saying the truth? WTF?!
I think it's funny I've been down-voted, probably by Apple fanboys, when my only computer is a MacBook.
Heh. I'm a Mac user, too. I voted you up. You were a) funny, and b) right. That was a terrible game.
I'm not trying to do Apple hate here, but what's the point to posting a link to a little game about MacWorld? Nothing to do with gadgets or directly with the real MacWorld.
Tad bit ridiculous to me. I hope MacWorld won't turn Engadget into another Gizmodo-like site.
Why the damn journalists have to walk exactly in the middle of the street?? :)
This is funny! nice little marketing piece if I do say so. Now let's work on a partnership with www.3vine.com and our hemp jewelry. We can play a game that helps us pick out which beads to put on and what type of braids to do... nice! "That's actually a good idea!" I'll have my people call your people...
$10 says apple sends lawyers after the author of the game. The game was better than I expected.
Would he explode if someone loudly started up an Ubuntu laptop at macworld? Would they get lynched?
...that'd be a fun addition to the game :) Kill the linux user before he starts sanctifying non-Apple hardware!
Can we get some sort of "Veronica Belmont at MacWorld" game?
mac mac mac mac apple apple apple apple
Have a sense of humour apple bashers.
We all had a good laugh at that video of bill gates last week
Wow, how lame hehe. The saddest part is someone spent their time making that.
Atleast nobody has made one for Bill Gates and his keynote next year.
ROFLMAO XD
I noticed when playing the game, you had to go find things. Well that made me believe of what was possibly going to be in the Keynote which I may be wrong but thats what I thinking. Funny game to btw.
Funniest thing is, you could play it on windows mobile but not an iPhone.
FUN
Jamiroquai had a game similar to this. Similar in the fact that it was flash-based.
