    A Testing Hypothesis

    While I appreciate your (not-so) constructive critique of my OpEd, writing it serves a purpose. I don't write to just propose unlimited solutions - instead, I'd prefer to put something out to people who haven't necessarily been brought up to speed regarding industry moves and hopefully...

    An Open Letter on the State of Video Games

    Well, the splinters that I talk about in the market have very little to do with age at all, and much more to do with favorite game types. Many people are just like you seem to be, in a variety of formats. Some like FPS games - personally, it's the last thing I enjoy. Some like RTS, others like...

    Merlin is offline for a little bit...

    I'm sorry I'm so slow getting to this - my condolences, Mark. :( I hope things were quick, painless and dignified, and we'll be thankful when you're feeling a bit more like your old self to post again. ~Brett

    Games you are playing

    I'm so lame. I love dungeon crawls, RPGs, puzzle and (shhhh, don't tell anyone) CCG's. And the occasional platformer. So my games list consists of: Console (all PS3): Ratchet & Clank: Tools of Destruction (beaten twice but ALWAYS still fun) Rock Band 2 (for groups or me and the missus) Eden...

    Merlin, how did you get on with it? I hope it was as easy as it should have been - but whether yes or no, tell us! :D

    Common Reasons People Leave Linux

    Just as a small addition. I am going to ask that people who want to open fire on the "accessibility of linux" PLEASE try something. You won't be disappointed. Click Here or click here instead, say "Save", do whatever you need to burn it to CD, and reboot your computer. Please. Seriously...

    Common Reasons People Leave Linux

    Knoppix definitely isn't a great beginner distro. But just for a usability perspective, ummm... When's the last time that you put in a Windows CD and got to test drive the entire, working OS? Or had XP running off a USB key? Maybe I'm missing something, but I have difficulty with this...

    Common Reasons People Leave Linux

    Well, if you'd fiddled with OSX long enough, you'd stumble on Crossover for Mac. the same group that did/does the linux version, and there's a version specifically designed for games. I run all sorts of modern games on that, so I can game on my macbook just fine. ;) Granted, it's a patch...

    Hello There, Ladies and Gentlemen...

    Yep, that's right, gaming is back on the map. It's more of a mid-term target but it's a key goal, so you'll definitely be seeing it. Not just reviews, though - I want to do technology previews and interviews with game designers to give an insight into how things are advancing aside from "Oooh...

    Common Reasons People Leave Linux

    I've spent a lot of time on this argument personally, both with Glider and with Rob at different times. To be honest, I don't ever understand this even being an argument. Linux isn't harder OR easier than Windows. It's different. Personally, I don't really even view it as an "alternative"...
