Random thoughts
I haven't posted anything here since last September. Almost no one I know and no one I followed still posts to Livejournal. I never really found an alternative. Facebook is for a different thing. I never bothered with Google+. And I'm not a Twitter person. I'll post thoughts here for old time's sake ( Read more... ) -
Wii-U woes
Developers have had widely differing opinions about the power of the Wii-U. One week you'd see developer A say that the Wii-U is much stronger than the 360/PS3, and then the next week developer B would say that the Wii-U is weaker than the 360/PS3.

The Last (Wii) Story?

Since its Japanese release, there have been months at a time where I was looking for something to play, and particularly for a Wii game to play. But Nintendo of America has its own weird logic (remember NOA they delayed the release of Samurai ( Read more... ) -
Dungeon Fighter Meh
Finally tried the demo for Dungeon Fighter Live, the Xbox 360 port of Dungeon Fighter Online.
It was fairly disappointing. Very disappointing, when you consider that DFO felt like it wanted to be a console game. A friend described DFL as a bad SNES game.

Diablo III security
After all the hacking claims started, I saw a conspiracy theory that Blizzard intentionally gave Diablo III poor security in order to push its Authenticator, which they happen to sell fancy versions of for $6.50 in their shop ( Read more... ) -
