[PATV] Monday, October 14, 2013 - CheckPoint Season 3, Ep. 18: Just Say No to Mojo

Are you in the market for a luxury Android console? If so, did someone hit you on the head?

Wow, punkbuster UN-installed. Glad I'm bored with Battlefield.

PRAY FOR MOJO

yeah if people could stop sullying the word "integral"

it might as well mean "fuck you, that's why" at this point

I've actually enjoyed my Ouya quite a bit, so bare this in mind when I say, what is the point of the Mojo?
I was under the impression that the idea behind making an android console was to unify the hardware requirements, making android game development simpler in terms of compatibility. I get that MadCatz trying to compete, but this is kind of a niche market to start with.
Plus, the Ouya is relatively cheap, so even if you just want a Netflix box, it's not a bad option.

A more expensive version of a product, intended for a small market, from a company with a... colorful history in the hardware field

Again, I seem to be missing the point

@Whyroon: Yeah, no kidding. I really need to start reading terms of service. They are long as shit, but man, I didn't know it could be this bad.

The MadCatZ Mojo is going to add PC streaming after launch, so that may be a feature people are interested in:

At least Madden didn't already predict plays based on your opponent's gameplan, notable players, down and distance.

Zachary Amaranth

I can't wait for a more expensive Ouya with the special pedigree Mad Catz brings to the table!

What the hell is with all these companies and privacy infringement? Just make games and leave people the hell alone.

Weirds me out that "Kathleen De Vere feet" yields no useful results on Google.

Punkbuster's also been around for 13 years, and has been used in games like Far Cry, Crysis, Battlefield, Rainbow Six Vegas, Assassin's Creed and Red Orchestra.

This isn't new, and hasn't been a privacy concern so far. Probably because it doesn't work as described, would be my guess.

Mogan

@rednightmare Could be ... but probably isn't.

Don Reba

Yes, Mojo! Take me! Take me to your sweet bosom!

I know zilch about what Madden does. Is your statement sarcastic and Madden does the things you say it doesn't?

Please please please release a gag reel with all of Arthur's references.

@apollyonbob Just 'cause a pickle's old, doesn't mean it's kosher.

There's also an nVidia console/streaming/handheld/etc product.

Thinkgeek sells it : http://www.thinkgeek.com/product/17d6/?cpg=56727116&msg_id=56727116&et_rid=659401043&linkid=56727116_feature1_17d6

The Mojo may add TV streaming later, but the Nvidia Shield has it today. And it can be used for mobile gaming.

So the Mojo is a Shield for the same price, minus mobile gaming, and you have to wait for PC streaming. Oh joy!

Things like Punk Buster is one of the many reasons I never play online games. Not that I would play BF4 in the first place
