Ouch, I've just watched the video at home: how a guy can "eat by his asshole" a 50 cm horse dick ?? Either this guy has a "cavern-assshole" or he is really dead now due to a huge "anal perforation"... It's frightening... and bleuargh... 

After that he can't even have normal gay sex. It would be like throwing a pencil down a mineshaft.

The swordfighting part has SOLD written all over it. Gamespot impressions: http://hardware.gamespot.com/Story-ST-15143-2567-x-x-x 

If you have ever played Diablo 2 on Battle.Net, you might want to see this: http://mostlycloudy.net/~dnl2ba/images/humor/LOTR-soj.gif 

Yeah we were talking about that at work. My initial impression is "unwieldy gimmick", but I agree that the sword fighting looks fun.

I'm not sure how it's gonna work with cross-platform licenses though, what with everyone else using the traditional controller approach. 

It's precise enough, it could be a mouse replacement. Doesn't need to be as accurate as a mouse, but maybe a quarter of that or something. Maybe one could even paint with it.

Play adventure games where you can interact with the environment in other ways than to just run and hackslash.

Nintendo is prolly the only company with guts to do any kind of innovation (hint, not the same as bringing in stuff from pc's or one-dimensional increasing of stuff)

Think of what one could do with two of these. Minority report style UI's.

A year back a friend showed a mobile game where one could play 3d pong on a mobile where the club was the phone itself so you would have to move it... too bad the display was in the phone itself. Really crude solid state accelerometers.

I wonder if the nintendo thing has a laser gyro or something for better precision. That would make them a tad more expensive. 

SOUTH KOREA, Seoul -- A young man strangled his friend today with a Nintendo Revolution controller after he accused his friend of cheating in Mario Teaches Masturbation. The assailant, 17-year-old Gno Havva-Phun, used the controller as nunchakus to knock unconscious his friend, 19-year-old Yu Gno Me, and then used the chord choke the victim to death. 

RPG, Those aren't valid Korean names.

Yeah, nintendo controller looks interesting, I'm a bit sceptical and will wait until I can see some actual games taking advantage of the movement stuff, but I applaud them for their attempts at innovation in gameplay instead of just pushing out better visuals which is what most other people are doing noweadays.
Oh and kinn, there's an extra accessory (hopefully it will be cheap) that you slide the revo controller into so it becomes a standard controller. 

Read them with English phonetics and maybe it will make more sense. 

I'm pleased to see nintendo doing something weird enough that people are actually uncertain about whether it'll be good. Sony and MS have basically been been iterating on the dualshock for the last 10 years. I like the dualshock, but i don't think that's the only good controller archetype.

Yes, I have concerns about how this breaks controller standards for cross-platform games, battery life, and the inelegance of having two a buttons and two b buttons. 

The Revolution Controller makes my penis hard. 

Animated Doom movie, looks like a joke but I'm betting it's trying to be a decent attempt...

Phait, that trailer made every cell in my brain that ever contained knowledge of design or animation to spasmodically constrict in embarassment.

I'm going to go lie down. 

At first I cried at the Revolution controller.

Now I am grinning after thinking about it more.

For cross platform games it has been said a case will make it more like a wavebird type of shape, so there will be no problem there, and for fps games I can actually see it working.

The more I imagine holding it in my hand I can see it working, the thing is basically an evolution of the mouse. 

I don't think Nintendo is really that worried about cross platform games anyway. The best games on a given system, and the ones that sell the system, are the ones designed specifically for it. Plus, I think they relieze they're going to be 'the second console' for most gamers, so the need for cross platform isn't there. Nintendo seems content to not compete to be the #1, but to make great, fun games that will hold their fanbase and perhaps expand it. 

I have no desire to own a ps2 or xbox since I can play most cross platform games on pc, but have been tempted by a gamecube many times.

Fixed up the last few bugs and its ready for release.. this will be my last Q3 map, but I think it turned out to be my best map.

Please.

Also have you heard of these programs called names like "Paintshop" and "Photoshop" - they can be quite useful getting screenshots to a size that is visible for people who DON'T have an array of 4 monitors set up in a square... 

xnview or irfanview work just as well and are small, fast and free as in free beer. 

Will resize well and show thumbnails of images and allow a little quick editing and batch convert without the wait-load of big apps.

anyone know whats going on with edgenetwork and quakepit.com?
they used to be my host, my files are still on the ftp but the address links to a domain snatcher type portal. :(

can someone recommend a good free web host? 

And wondered what Sega was up to, and dreamed a little...
