Or do you think that the whole thing was a PR stunt by Ouya?

Well, they're also outright lying, so what do you think?

Revelations: The Chronicles of Jericho Fox: Awakening (Episode 1)

Ahh, I see. I thought you were saying that movies becoming cult hits was somehow an example of confusing profitability with quality, but now I see that you just meant that to point out that the movies were actually good despite being box office duds.

it's impossible to disprove that "theory" because if you bring up a great game that didn't sell well they'd just say 'well it didn't sell well, so it couldn't have been great', and if you bring up a bad game that sold well they'd just say 'there has to be something great about that game or it wouldn't have sold so well'

That's the usual situation of people confusing profitability with quality.

You see that a lot with other forms of media. Take movies, for example, where an specific movie can fail at the box office and then develop a cult following and be considered intrinsically good.

Or art, where a certain artist can be ignored in its time and then be considered a genius by history.

Uhm, isn't that the exact opposite of confusing profitability with quality?

I found it kinda funny that there weren't any big revelations in that dialogue, and that it just amounted to some casual standard operating procedure talk.

Nothing will ever top this one.

Where are the other III megasons...

It's not roman numeral 4, it's I.V. in that you plug it directly into a vein...

OpenGL FBOs...

But what's hard about them?

I just seem to always run into trouble when using them. Currently, I'm having a weird problem where an unrelated texture gets messed up when the FBO is bound. I can draw the texture to the screen with no problem before binding the FBO, but when I try to draw it to the FBO, it's seemingly been cleared with the glClear(GL_COLOR_BUFFER_BIT) call I use on the FBO! I first thought that the image bound to the FBO had the same texture name as the unrelated texture, for some reason, but checking their names shows that's not the case.

OpenGL FBOs...

Amazon says,

599 US DOLLARS

Sony from 2007 has called, they want their arrogance back

Retailers always put in high preorder prices before the actual price has been revealed. That said, I wouldn't be surprised if the price does end up in that neighborhood.

I'm quite annoyed by Molyneux' insistence on calling blatant advertising for his new game an "experiment".

Seriously, what the hell has Microsoft been smoking?

Wiid.

So they expect this thing to sell anywhere from 6 to 14 times the number of Xbox 360s sold? Seriously, what the hell has Microsoft been smoking?

Oh, for fuck's sake...

If you're interested in another documentary about startups that implode spectacularly later on, this is another good one. It's called "Startup.com", from 2001 before the dot com bust. Good friends form a web start up, get a tonne of venture capital, and then the ego's and nastiness set in when they turn on each other. Pretty sad, actually. It's available in its entirety on youtube here:

This is one of my favorite documentaries. It's really great. Watch it!

amazon uk not long ago

It's on sale.

OT: console looks dumb just like the ps4 does, surprise surprise

Huh?

It's like they specifically designed this presentation to not appeal to me. I don't care about watching TV through my Xbox -- I can already do that on my TV. I don't care about sports and racing games nor Call of Duty. I don't want to control my console with my voice and waving my arms. I don't care about SmartGlass. And I don't care about a Halo TV series. From a gaming perspective, the PS4 seems to have this beat. If I were to buy a new console, I'd probably dump my Xbox and get a PS4 instead. Sony presented a much wider variety of games and features as well as better indie support. I'm pretty disappointed with this new Xbox.

EDIT: Actually, the feedback on the controller sounds pretty interesting. If they add support for this in future 360 games, I'll probably just end up getting the new controller.

Xbox -> Xbox 360 -> Xbox One

Taking non-linear gaming to a whole new level!

Here's Get Lamp on YouTube:

I'll probably watch it later tonight.

I'm curious to see how much they'll be focusing on the Xbox as a media device and not just a gaming console.
