This just peaked my internetometer. I would say my firefox just got a hardon but … well, that would be just wrong.
Was reading through a great article on Gamasutra entitled: SingStar’s Bozek On ‘Unbundling’ Games. On one side it’s great because it covers user-generated-content, microtransactions, and karaoke: three things I’m very interested in. But the real reason is this paragraph:
Using the feature, SingStar players will be able to capture and upload pictures and videos of themselves singing — something, Bozek said, the team was inspired to do after witnessing the sudden stardom of Gary Brolsma when his ‘Numa Numa’ performance was spread through Newgrounds and YouTube.
Nothing ‘new’ (we talked a lot about SingShot a while back) - but the fact game developers were inspired towards a more inclusive design by Gary Brolsma and the internet… makes me feel really warm and fuzzy.
Go Internetto! Fight Internetto! We’re ‘improving’ videogames!
