Re: Orange Lounge Radio Episode 187 - 6 / 18 / 06No response to my ESA letter last week. No surprise.
I still want World of Starcraft, seriously.
While I loved Warcraft 2, Warcraft 3 was... eh. It wasn't bad, it looked GORGEOUS (still does), but . Starcraft has always been a favorite of mine. I'd like to see what they'd do with it as an MMO.
I think a Full fledged GTA MMO is a little too early at this point... In order to service the large amounts of fans that will play this there will have to be ALOT of servers/citys, Larger scale citys and some sort of battle system so that people wont die every 10 seconds from a rocket blast or car crash.... Also im sure this would be a game coders worst nightmare... And im sure since there will be sooo many people playing glitches, freezing and lagging will haunt the game... Something so large scale would never happen (at least not in this generation)... If someone like Arenanet, EA or battlenet got involved i would say it "might work" but i dont think it will work... If they had some sort of online Multiplayer where you play Capture the flag, Tag or random vehicle races im sure that would work just fine...
Now that I'm getting caught up on hour 1:
1) Re: Microphone in Wii-mote. Rob, you suggested that people talk into their DS? Oh yeah, that's the true American Idol simulation. Sing into this big BLOCK in front of your face XD. Not at all like plugging a microphone head into the butt of the Wii-mote and singing into an actual microphone looking thing. I know I heard something earlier I wanted to comment on... but yeah, I totally forgot. [edit] Oh yeah. Ouendan kicks my ass. I couldn't pass Ready Steady Go normal until I borrowed my friend's DS Lite stylus. Thicker/longer = better.
Okay, now that I managed to listen to the earlier part of the show, I know what was exactly mentioned about the Uwe Boll thing. I mentioned this very briefly in chat after it was discussed but there's some of the qualifications he tends to be making liberties with.
One of the critics invited to fight him was Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka of somethingawful.com. Here's the interesting part though. Lowtax himself never once wrote a review of any of Boll's cinematic disasterpieces. Some of the other SA writers have done reviews or said shit, and lord knows the SA Forums are littered with critics who hate his movies (not just in the Games forums, but the Movie Discussion forums think he's a fizzle). But Lowtax HIMSELF never said a word about Uwe Boll or his movies... ...well, up until now anyway, he wrote a blurb about Alone In The Dark on Monday just after he got the invite and has one for House Of The Dead that's supposed to hit the front page tomorrow. But yeah, Boll doesn't seem to be going for just critics really, but major interweb icons that may or may not hate his movies personally who just so happens to harbor his worst critics. So yeah, Uwe Boll's being a jackass about this as well. Oh and I live in Georgia, not too far from Atlanta. If I see one of those vending machines I will happily faux-kick it.
The vending machine is in the Mall of Georgia - I'd guess in the food court. I might go sometime next week - this week is all busied up for me.
BTW, you guys should totally check out Tuesday's All Games Interactive. Skie was absolutely amazing with his zings.
