Get Your Grouch On
I love Neven Mrgan (as much as you can “love” someone you don’t know personally) but sometimes he is the reason that tumblr needs a Get-Off-My-Lawn-Button. mrgan: Here’s the thing with fusion jazz. Between 1968 and 1971, it was the greatest thing in music, a rare chimera that walked and talked. Then, things went bananas pretty quickly, and I’m talking rather bad bananas here....

FontBook Reloaded
Tonight at 6:00 pm CET, typographic legend Erik Spiekermann flipped a switch and FontShop released the FontBookApp for Apple’s iPad on the App Store. I was fortunate to be given a review code and so I have been able to kick the tires a little. These are my first impressions after a two days of moderate use.  The short version: Awesome. The long version: See text below. ↓ The...

So I downloaded the demo to Duke Nukem Forever and now my hard drive feels dirty. Whatta piece of crap (literally). But say what you will, for once a demo really fulfilled it’s purpose: to help me make a buying decision.

Star Wars is real! →
At How to be a Retronaut there’s proof of what I’ve always suspected. Star Wars is real. I knew it!!! More proof here. (I fucking knew it!!!)

The trained Monkey
A trained monkey. That’s me. Recently I got my second platinum trophy, this time for Mafia II, 2KCzech’s open-world Goodfellas-simulator. What did I have to do to get this coveted virtual proof of being awesome? Here is the game’s trophy list. Lots of hoops to jump through. Us usual, some trophies are easy, some are difficult, a few are very hard. But one is simply ridiculous....

Platform Wars
Last month Joystiq’s own Justin McElroy said this in a tweet: Show me “soldiers in the console wars” and I see kids who need to mow a few lawns, buy a second console and rejoin the adults.  I’ve heard this assertion a couple of times lately, usually followed by the internet equivalent of a silent headshake with some overtones of “Kids these days …”. But on...

Sony and Microsoft are sooo screwed!
Well, no, they won’t collaps tomorrow or anything like that, but if you take a step back and look at the bigger picture, this is what this year’s E3 has shown us: Sony and Microsoft have ceded control over where the game industry is headed to Nintendo. Meet your doom Think about it: In 2006 Nintendo turned the gaming world upside down with the Wii. Everybody assembled had a good...

Steam, Steam, Steam.
Unlike me in my unfocused rant from last week, Dan Wineman actually took the time to write a concise post about what’s wrong with Steam on the Mac. He even managed to keep a civil tone, whereas I would be foaming at the mouth by now … dwineman: I knew this would be a love-hate relationship from the start. You see, Steam for Mac, I love your games. Well, some of them. A lot of them are...

The Valve is leaking
Everybody was excited when Valve announced that Steam would (finally) be coming to the Mac. Now it’s here and I have to say … uhm … wow! Great job, Valve.  This is what happens when a PC company (Valve was founded by ex-Microsoft employees) starts coding for the Mac and makes stupid assumptions. Like hardcoding Tahoma as the UI font in Portal and not specifying a fallback in case people...
