I guess I'm a real games journo now...
...although not one that gets paid for it.
This assumes that MightyJustice.net even takes off. It's been running for a bit over two weeks now, so it hasn't really established its own voice, and that means it doesn't have a huge audience. Can it be the next Kotaku? Or, more importantly, the next Destructoid? Time will tell. The main guy behind it ( Read more... ) -
Dear Firefox Developers
Could you please not use nearest-neighbour for interpolation when scaling an image down? Or at least provide a "don't make this image look like total fucking arse when scaling down" function?
Or, if such a function exists, could you provide a piece of UI so I can enable it?

The Weighted Companion Cube Will Not Threaten To Stab You
Portal is, without question, the best game I've played this year. It's one of those games that initially sounds like a simple exercise in game design, but which turns out to be incredibly fun to actually play ( Read more... ) -
The Trouble With Musou Games

Rumble Pie...
"We have no plans to do so in the standard controller that ships with PlayStation 3. I believe that the Sixaxis controller offers game designers and developers far more opportunity for future innovation than rumble ever did. Now, rumble I think was the last generation feature; it's not the next-generation feature. I think motion sensitivity is. And ( Read more... ) -

Would You Kindly...
There are probably few games around at the moment which have the weight of expectation hanging upon them as much as Bioshock does. System Shock 2 is nothing less than revered among PC gamers, and with good reason. It had a unique blend of tension, horror and action that made it stand out from the crowd as one of the all-time classic FPS games ( Read more... )
