PAX Overload! We come back still buzzed from an awesome time at PAX 2007 and talk about our experiences - what we saw, what we did, what we drank. We’re also far more pumped about EVE Online now are looking to set up some EGR pwning action in that game.

This looks awesome; it’s also a way way prototype, so it might not even look like this, and this song might not even show up in the final game. But if it’s anything like this, it’s awesome. Granted, stuff like this has been done before with Guitarfreaks/Drummania/Keyboardmania, but it’s all Japaneazy stuff, not stuff I know or recognize.

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!
