  • Dear Blizzard…

    I am sick and tired of being penalized with losses and season ranking demotions because people on my team left the match.

    Please fix it.

  • Holy clusterfuck Batman, get your shit together Origin/EA. Trying to get my kids to play Battlefront with me on the Xbox is a nightmare.

    So far, this is the best guide I’ve come across. What a shitshow. Please fix this. Now we all have 200 billion accounts spread across all these damn networks. What a disaster.

  • Really, Nintendo? Maybe the games were overpriced to begin with.

    When we were looking to get our son a Nintendo DS I pushed hard to get him an iPod Touch. My reasoning:

    • There were no cartridges to lose
    • The games weren’t overpriced
    • The games were more “throwaway” – he’s a six year old boy. His interest level in a game will come and go as quickly as the day

    He pushed back. He really wanted the Nintendo DS. After 7 months he barely ever touches the thing and has lost multiple cartridges. In his defense, he found them pretty quickly, but still, managing your game collection is just stupid.

  • On a Windows machine, the Steam application allows you to relocate the “SteamApps” folder to a different drive. This allows you to effectively shift your content around anywhere you like. When you install a new game, it’ll even ask you where you want to install it.

    For some bizarre reason they did not afford the same convenience to Mac users. Initially when Steam was released for the Mac they even forced you to keep the SteamApps folder in your Documents folder. This made it really painful to use a portable home directory. Valve relented after a huge user outcry and relocated the folder to ~/Library/Application Support/Steam, which is probably where it belonged anyway.

  • Once again, the iPhone rules the press with a heavy dollop of enticing news.

    There’s a lot here on the surface and a lot below the surface. Let’s scratch the surface first.

    The announcements about Apple licensing ActiveSync are interesting. There was lots of speculation in this regard and greetz to those who called it. I myself lost a bet. I was thinking that Apple might actually thumb their nose at ActiveSync and employ webdav for Exchange 2003 (much like Entourage) or web services for Exchange 2007. Of course, that would not be a quick route to policy controls on the device itself (i.e. remote kill), so ActiveSync makes the most business sense both in time and money. It’s a good investment. I was just hoping they wouldn’t just… well, because.
