    I am intrigued by this new PSP.

    Apparently, PSP also saved a baby girl from a wolf.

    Sony PR people have said some shit that has not gone over well. Not sure if I'm understating here. Maybe just a little.

    With regard to "harder to develop for," I feel that developing for ANY console should be roughly the same process, and an early step in that process, for most games, should be identifying and licensing middleware. You should be using something like Gamebryo, Unreal 3, Tech 5, or whatever else is available. Programming your own engine should be reserved for companies that are going to build very special or extremely unusual games, or at least that plan to take a long time (and spend lots of money) building an engine and then using that engine for multiple products. Also, if you're really going to push the limits of the hardware (like God of War), then you might want to do that, but nobody's pushing limits on the PS3 yet.

    Basically, the more I look at it, the more it seems like a waste of time to develop your own engine, since there are almost always dedicated middleware companies that have made something or other that will work for your project, will be quicker to learn than it would be to write your own engine, and that have already done thorough testing, built tools for content pipeline, etc.

    But defender, I'm not sure if that's a valid reason to, effectively, shut out the independent developers from having access to the dev kit.

    ... or maybe I'm reading your post wrong.

    Oh, believe me, I'm not arguing that indie people should be locked out of dev kits. Definitely not arguing for that.

    What?!?!?!

    Also, the comic is good and funny and all, but with the only flaw that it's not a comic


    As someone said, this kind of material is more adequate for newspost. I shall wait for this newspost

    Mike and Jerry were probably like "Fuckit, let's just burn Sony with a fake blog. Then we'll get some tacos."

    Kinda, though the jokes about blogs in general or corporate blogs are reasonable.

    The first thing I thought was that they were trying to make a Travolta=pussy joke. I couldn't figure out why in the hell that joke would make sense on a PS3 blog, though.

    You can look at practically any part of anything manmade around you and think 'some engineer was frustrated while designing this.' It's a little human connection.

    Man, you first look at the PA strip and you're like "what".

    Then you chuckle at the cat posts a bit.

    And then you laugh at all the little text details.

    Great comic.

    The scary part is that fried Coke really does apparently exist. Nothing can top deep-fried Oreos though, because they actually taste awesome in addition to probably being terribly unhealthy.

    Probably?

    did she use it to beat the wolf to death?

    did she give it to the wolf and then sent him to go to best buy carrying it and he was then beaten and raped by people standing outside?
    she pointed the fan towards the wolf and seared his flesh with the blazing hot exhaust.
