Love emoji-only messaging? Try logging activities with the tiny pictures
Hey you guys, I love messaging with just emojis. It's the best. They let people know how I really feel when tone is so hard to convey in a text or email. Those quick notes are great, but I really want the cute pics to be in my life more, so I've started logging my location and activities with Steven. It's a new app built by former Twitter Chief Scientist Abdur Chowdhury that tracks where I go in the background on my iPhone and records the appropriate icon. Don't worry, it's not creepy or anything -- it's totally cool. Coffee shops get a coffee cup, drowning my sorrows gets a beer mug, etc... It's pretty great. I can also assign my smartphone snapshots to those places and all my pals can give emjoi-based comments on the burrito I had for lunch. I mean, it's named after a cat. What's not to love?
Spielberg working on Wii game with EA
var digg_url = 'http://www.digg.com/gaming_news/Spielberg_working_on_Wii_game_with_EA'; EA and Steven Spielberg had recently announced a collaboration to publish three games with authoritative control from the directing superstar. Recently, after Spielberg got totally owned in Wii Tennis after seeing the success and potential of the Wii platform, one of these three was announced to be Nintendo-bound.EA Los Angeles Veep Neil Young revealed in a recent interview that one of the projects, produced by Lou Castle, is coming to the Wii and is "very exciting and interesting". This could not even theoretically be a more generic statement, but this is E.T.-phone-home-guy we're talking about, here. Also, the article mentioned that Spielberg actually spends several hours a week actually going to the production studios and working directly with the staff, as opposed to simply signing a few papers and being done with it. Hopefully, this is cinematic gaming done right.
Steven to appear on All Games Interactive
Today, I'll be interviewed on All Games Interactive about the PSP, this site and whatever other random topics arise. AGI is a live radio show, so anyone can listen by going to allgames.com and feel free to call in during the show or enter their live chat. Mayor Young has told me that I'll be on around 7:45PM ET/ 4:45PM PT though the show starts at 6:30PM ET/3:30PM PT, so feel free to listen in for the whole show. As a warning, All Games Interactive often uses potty language and has risque dialogue, so if you're still in training pants, you may not want to listen.
