Sorry I've been totally AWOL on PXOD lately. The real reason is that I haven't really been playing many games. Having a kid really changes how your time gets spent. Keep up the good work though, I'm still read your articles and hope to participate again in the future.

You can cash them out on mtgox.com Also, I'm using bitcoinpool.com and their pheonix miner. It works pretty well. Already up to about .6 bitcoins. What are you using?

Once again, You guys realize you can drive around the checkpoints right? Also, Why is everyone in the media so shocked by the announcement? I thought it was already documented that FarCry 3 was well in development. Direct2Drive had preorders up for it at one point for crying out loud.

Yeah, Goh, I'm really surprised. You seem personally offended by it. I don't disagree that it's widely being used for illicit purposes and I also don't disagree that it's probably doomed to failure but I also don't disagree with people paying me real money for worthless bits.

Okay, so i've got almost half a bitcoin in about a day or two. Not bad. Anyone else bothering with this?

I'm just sad more of my predictions didn't come true. It was a sad E3 for me.

I will also say that Phantom Hourglass should have been made with regular controls too. Sometimes Nintendo can force things. It worked fine but probably would have been a little easier with normal controls.

My wife loves creamy Peanut Butter with strawberry preserves. I like that too but on occasion I'll do crunch peanut butter.

I think most people use grape jelly for their PBJs but I could be wrong. Maybe we need a poll.

Jam and Jelly are actually not the same thing. Jam: A sweet mixture of fruit boiled with sugar and allowed to congeal. jelly: A clear or translucent fruit preserve, made from fruit juice and set using either naturally occurring, or added, pectin

Yeah, it's about the fact that you're putting limitation on a system that's supposed to be breaking limitations. It seems like they could have found a way of making it work with 4 screens if they really wanted to. My guess is that they don't want to tell you that those controllers cost $150 each to make (just a guess). There is going to be a ton of arguing about how cool this system is and how many possibilities there are but frankly I don't see how the Wii U solves the fundamental problem currently plaguing motion control which is: How do you actually move in the game world? The best way to move around in a game world is still an analog stick. Until that changes, motion control continues to be tied to a traditional controller. Let's say for argument that the new controller is cool and it lets you do some cool new things in games you already love. Okay, that's fine but the console is still going to be a full generation behind the new PS4 and XBox720 and that's a deal breaker for me.

So you seem like more of a SRPG fan. Did you like Deus Ex? For me most of the pull of COD and Halo is the multiplayer and the singleplayer is a good place to get your feet wet. That's probably why it seems like all you do is shoot is because mostly you're just learning to shoot. The flip side is that the controls are very tight in these kind of games. The shooting in Halo is far more enjoyable to me than the shooting in Bioshock or Mass Effect.

So we have enough people on here finally, BEAUTY CONTEST!

There is a breaking point though. 110° sucks, dry or not.

You can still equate a lot of things. The lack of DX11 hardware acceleration will limit the capabilities of the card. If it's similar in VRAM to cards back then (maybe 512MB) then you'd really be handicapping yourself. It's not quite like it used to be when Console hardware was totally separate from PC hardware. In fact, more and more system resources are being used to run the OS on a console.

Here we go again..... http://www.develop-online.net/news/38028/Next-Xbox-on-desks-at-Crytek-UK?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+developmag%2Fifbh+%28Develop%29&utm_content=Google+Reader

This is just sad. http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/14/wii-u-has-last-gen-radeon-inside-still-more-powerful-than-ps3-a/ We're talking about a chip that's what, 2-3 years old in a system that's not due until next year? Pathetic. It's not even DX11 compliant.

gonna be 100° with no rain for the forseeable future. Hello summer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukOUP6Y_gY0

The ending of Reach was pretty epic though. I don't really know of another game that ends like that.

I gotta say that using proprietary storage makes me a little disconcerted. I wonder if it has anything to do with piracy. Also, I might hold off on getting a PSV if it's going to cost me $100 to get a 16GB storage card with it. http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/14/sony-playstation-vitas-removable-memory-looks-like-an-sd-card/

@Rocky: Is there a shooter you do like?

It's okay, Chewie. We're all winners here, mainly because we love Star Wars and hate the Kardashians, which is what really matters at Christmas time. word
