Valve blames 'bandwidth' for lack of PS3 support {Joystiq}
Sep 23rd 2008 9:44PM A] AFAIK Joystiq gets paid "by the post".
B] Joystiq hates the PS3. Many of them even don't own a PS3. Which, even considering the fact that this is a blog and not a proper professional site, is just plain embarrassing. If you pay a even modicum of attention, you'll see that they will take every opportunity to post stories like this, but will not report on stuff like the RRoD nearly as much (not even the recent revelations about it).
Of course, you will not notice this if you rely on Joystiq as your only source of news.
Valve blames 'bandwidth' for lack of PS3 support {Joystiq}
Sep 23rd 2008 9:38PM You know, we have a saying around where I live. I don't know how to properly translate it into English though, but here goes: he's gonna have to "retract his shit".
Rest assured that although this is a piss poor direct translation, it loses nothing of it's visual flavor.
Ensemble founder speaks about studio closure {Joystiq}
Sep 23rd 2008 1:07PM So basically they themselves think that Halo Wars won't be the bee's knees...
That bodes well for this game.
Canceled Ensemble project was Halo MMO {Joystiq}
Sep 23rd 2008 11:42AM Good that this was canceled bacause, frankly, it looks a little sad.
This probably started out when they saw what a financial success WoW was. Only, a few years into development they woke up and said "WTF are we DOING??".
You can't just make everything into an MMO... Certainly not "teh Haloz".
Xbox 360 hits 6 million in Europe {Joystiq}
Sep 22nd 2008 7:47PM It's the reverse over here.
Most people have a PS3, some have a 360.
Those that are still waiting to buy one are waiting on a PS3.
Molyneux: PS3 still waiting on defining title {Joystiq}
Sep 21st 2008 8:16AM This guy needs to shut his piehole. His games have always overpromised and underdelivered.
Now, part of his former team, free from his influence, went on to create a marquee title that is already more exciting than any of his games.
Apple iPod touch 2G and nano 4G: The Engadget Review {Engadget}
Sep 19th 2008 8:22PM What a terrible, terrible "review".
The Touch as a big gaming platform? Really?
The Touch vs. a netbook, really Engadget? REALLY?
Furthermore, how about you people pull your heads from Apple's anus and look what other companies are offering? Bigger storage capacity, integrated FM tuner, expandable storage, Wifi in a device as small as the Nano.
For fuck's sake, you should be pointing out flaws instead of heaping praise upon anything with an Apple logo on it. You should be demanding MORE for LESS money.
It's clear from virtually every paragraph that whoever wrote this "review" is completely infatuated with Apple as a whole.
They have some nice devices, that do a lot of things well, but you are not reviewing these things in a vacuum.
Open your eyes, wipe Apple's love off your face, and start thinking critically ffs.

Online gamers aren't overweight, just depressed junkies, study suggests {Joystiq}
Sep 19th 2008 8:56AM I wonder why you go to such lengths debating things that are largely beside the point.
Yes, the BMI system isn't perfect. Maybe we could come up with a better formula today, but that doesn't mean 19th century people were stupid, especially not 19th century scientists.
That doesn't change the fact however that
a) an enormous number of obese people in the USA (together with the UK one of the fattest countries in the world)
b) using the ratio of body mass to height is a PRETTY DAMN GOOD INDICATOR of obesitas.
You can try to argue and try to discredit stuff all you want, these things are simply true.
In the end, the BMI system works pretty well and doesn't require inconvenient measurements and what not. Unless you are an athelete or have some sort of disease or syndrome, it's pretty accurate.
You can tell yourself you are "buff", or "big-boned" or whatever nonsense you want. Fact is, since the industrial revolution people are just sat on their asses growing larger each decade. Having some amount of fat is healty and perfectly normal, but this day and age, a great many people are just too fat.

Sep 18th 2008 10:07PM So Anticrawl, a great number of Americans aren't "fat", they are just "buff"? Is that what you are saying?
