Interesting. My next question would be "What will Khush reveal tomorrow?"

EDIT: Interesting change of affairs. More comments later.

Alright, sounds like voting closing. No cavalry or bandwagon to save me so I'll start this up.

Until Khush starts the next day I won't talk, but I will highlight what Khush said when he was planning the game.

Revealing someone's role after you are out of the game.

If you are eliminated and then give away someone's role, (i.e. Mafia member reveals a townie player's identity or townie reveals a mafia player's identity) the team that was hurt by the information gets to immediately kill 3 people of their choosing in retalition. Do ont think you can create a loophole of this rule by hurting someone on your own team (i.e. Mafia member reveals another mafia member's identity). In this case, you are stupid.

Giving out information.

If you wish to tell the players of the game a message, you have a couple of legal channels to do so. One, you can post this information in the voting thread or two you can send a private message to players. You can not, however, create another account and use it to hide your identity while giving out information. If you want to say something, you must accept the responsibility of being known as saying it.


So be careful of what you post here. If you are alive, I'd stay away from here. And besides, it gives the dead people a chance to speculate on things.

I'm not sold on the touchscreen until I can actually go hands-on with it. Touch interaction is something that can be tedious and annoying if it isn't implemented well.

For example, the keyboard. How quickly can someone type with it?

On my current phone I can do it without looking at the screen because I can find the right key by feel and then by pressing it I know that it has been entered. Sure, I check what I type before I send it but it makes things so much easier.
On this iPhone I can see myself always looking at the keyboard, pressing my finger over the area where the key is positioned on screen, and then checking that it was pressed. There is no feedback because the unit depends on you viewing everything. Its not a real keyboard, its just a flat surface.

And why does the keyboard only use up half the screen - why waste the other half of the screen with rubbish like message history? Its SMS, why encourage people to send messages back and forth all the time when the logical (and cheaper) thing to do would be to make a call instead.

Your move, Belford.

Considering that this got a massive amount of diggs when IGN released an 8.9 review (and the previous games in the series a similar score) I'm surprised that the fanboys aren't asking for more blood. I mean, how can you give this game a similar score to IGN, which came from the loins of Lucifer himself!

Fitting silly sound effects and a compilation of MIDI music -- some of the tracks really ring true and others are throw-aways.


and then slap the sound with a 7.5. Yeah, go figure. I know its not an average but if you're rating the sound of the game then I'm sure you could justify it more than just MIDI slander.

Aside from that, this will probably be something I get whenif? it makes it to Australia.

Here's some launch numbers to compare for Australia:

   * Xbox 360 launch: 30,421 consoles sold in four days
   * Nintendo Wii launch: 32,901 consoles sold in four days
   * PlayStation 3 launch: 27,083 consoles sold in ten days

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/content_page.php?aid=15729

Now that everything's settling down over here (Wiis can actually be found, not sure about the PS3s because I don't care) it'll be interesting to see how these numbers change. I'll see if I can find some more current numbers.

Sounds about right. Some of their stuff is forgettable, some of it is damn catchy. Not something I listen to religiously, but much better than your average punk band these days.

Regarding their latest album: "This Ain't A Scene..." got annoying pretty damn fast and I stopped listening to the album a while ago, but then I came across the video for their latest single, "Thnks Fr Th Mmrs". A much more stellar song, and the clip has monkeys in it! Monkeys!

Here's a link to the streamed version: http://www.ifilm.com/video/2839281

And please continue on with the bitter rant about the pharmaceutical industry. Although its totally unrelated to this thread, its still great to hear someone complain about things that they actually have no experience with.

EDIT:

And Arty, the PS3 is a bit more than a basic PC. I think the specs for the system that they tested there are pretty comparable. Apples and kinda-sorta-apples.

Are those Blu-ray and HD-DVD numbers for units or movies sold during that period?

Also, the time frame for each medium is very different. Almost skewed, if you will. Perhaps they're lifetime sales, perhaps not. In either case I want more background information :P

PC gaming is already heading this way - I can certainly see consoles going this way as it allows developers to reduce publishing fees and increase profit margins. Look at the XBLA and VC and then tell me the concept cannot be implemented well. There's no concern here about "losing" the game as you can go and re-download the games that you purchased.

And people's attachment to the physical media indicates that people are stuck in the past, where something tangible was associated with the transaction. It will probably take time to convince the masses of the benefits of digital distribution, but it has the potential to make games cheaper for the user and improve the bottom line of developers.

MUST CRUSH CAPITALISM THROUGH ANGST AND IGNORANCE

You're a clown. Ever thought that perhaps there's some semblance of reward from sharing information and resources with other people? Or are you lacking a single selfless bone in your body?

Sure, capitalism isn't going away any time soon (wait until Zombie Che Guevara rises from the dead and sees his face on those shirts that trendy arts students wear when they protest the war, then I believe the story goes that he turns into the Hulk and climbs the Empire State building), but there's a lot of projects out there that are run on the back of volunteers and communities.
