Getting Things Done

by on Jun.17, 2009, under Short Rants

On any project, you always have to make a fatal decision – you have to choose two out of the following: fast, cheap and good.

It's a fun thing to realise – fast and cheap makes the finished project inferior, fast and good makes the project expensive, cheap and good makes the project slow.

As usual, no inspiration for what to talk about, things to talk about. Oh well.

E3 Keynotes: Microsoft, Sony and Nintendo

by on Jun.03, 2009, under Games

Another year, another E3, another set of fun new announcements. As usual, Nintendo failed to impress me, with nothing I can think of being interesting, and anything remotely interesting is coming out next year. Phooey.

Microsoft just blew everyone away with Project Natal. I have my doubts about how well it'll run in my crowded living room, compared to say, a certain handheld IR camera, or a really stupid looking wand, which you know, would probably work in a crowded living room, but I'm sure Microsoft has already thought of a solution. Otherwise, nobody living in a high density city can use Natal. :P

I can't say I'm fond of Microsoft and Sony's offerings this year besides their motion sensing tech. There Gran Turismo PSP – which must have been promised to us for what feels like ages now – I think it will be ages before we get it. More Halo! I seen so much Halo I think I'll immediately switch off my brain the moment I see more Halo. Best news for me was Forza 3′s release date, which I of course already knew.

Haiyaya.
