Hillary vs. the Xbox: Game over

The whole uproar in the states brewing around the HotCoffee is really getting out of hand. Politicians left, right and center are jumping on the "Games are corrupting our youth" band wagon and making it their next puritan crusade. I mean give me a break!

When I came across this L.A. Times article, I was very much surprised and even more delighted. In "Hillary vs. the Xbox: Game over". The author of the article brilliantly and sarcastically makes his point. I could not agree more with him. Finally, a member of the press that does his investigating, and avoid regurgitating the same stupidity about video games making violently vicious predators out of us.

For all you parents, grand-parents or anti-gaming crusaders out there, do yourselves a favor, read the article, and then go and discuss it with your kids.

Microsoft Xbox strategy exposed on Wired News!!

Wired has a good article on J Allard and what Microsoft has foreseen for the Xbox 360's role in our living room. And the future looks very promising.

They seem to have a good chance to give the guys at Sony a run for their money. Only the future will tell, but if the last 4 years are an indication, than Allard and his bunch have got a good chance !

From Wired:
"J Allard convinced Bill Gates to take on the Internet. Then he persuaded him to spend $2 billion to take on the PlayStation, too. Now he's aiming at the future of gaming - and the arrival of the mind-blowing broadband Metaverse."

Wow, how time flies!

Currently, that's the one thing I'm missing: TIME. With a fulltime job, a university class, planning a wedding and honeymoon (with my lovely fiance), I can barely find time to play EVE, let alone post. But that can't go on for too long!

School wise, things have quieted somewhat, so I'll be making updates, posts and all within the next few days. And boy, is there a lot of activity these days - GDC, Gaming conferences, new sites, news et al.

And I absolutely need to find time to play more. Since I've introduced a couple of friends to EVE a few months ago, they've been playing way more, and accumulating way more wealth and knowledge of the game. It's become our little joke - well their's anyway!

So stay tuned, watch for more links, more posts and more screenshots, in the next few days and from now on.

Cheers!
