Marvel Vs. Capcom 3

I feel the need to post this trailer. I dislike MVC2 due to its unbalanced gameplay. But still, the idea of taking down the Hulk as Ryu is awesome. Balance the gameplay and this could be my favorite game.

Some indications of Steam for Linux

Now im no computer programmer, aside from my basic knowledge of terminal commands in linux. But apparently some scripting in the soon to come Mac OSX release of steam suggest some Linux support. The idea of finally having Steam in Linux (without WINE getting full support) is amazing sounding. I could finally play TF2 without having to reset my tower and switch to Windows. In fact this task proved very annoying so I have slowly stopped using Linux as much. Read this web page for me details.


P.S. The image has little to do with Linux, more of Steam coming to Mac. Seeing as Linux support surfacing due to Mac integration, I thought this was strangely appropriate. Also, I may not be able to sap that Aperture sentry but I can push it over and it breaks.

Super Mario Galaxy 2

Look how awesome super mario galaxy looks. I cant wait too use the cloud power up. Scope the gameplay

Nintendo blames Piracy for 50% decrease in sales

The DS is known for easy piracy. I have only purchased one game for my DS, Pokemon, that way I can play tournaments and such. Otherwise I have downloaded all my games. Nintendo is blaming piracy for their 50 percent decrease in software sales in Europe. Nintendo monitored 10 oversea websites and they racked up over 238 million downloads, roughly equating to 11 billion dollars in lost sales during the month of JUNE ALONE. Obviously not a good quarter in 2009 for software sales. Reasons why this is happening:

1. DS games cost too much for their quality. Lets be honest, a bulk of DS games are not that great. WHy purchase some third party junk when I could test it out by downloading it. 30 bucks for a game that is not great, forget that.

2. People dont like carrying around a bunch of games, why have 10 games, when I can just have my r4.

3. Homebrew, wheres the homebrew at? on the r4! Gives people a chance to check out non approved games, and run emulators.

Nintendo needs to drop the price point of their DS games, they are not worth 30 bucks. Until then, piracy is expected.

MythTv

Im currently considering one of these up in my house. We have no cable or sattelite so it would be nice to have one of these. Although I watch a considerable amount of programs through hulu and other online services, being able to capture tv shows and have a nice built media player for my HD screen would be cool. Just a thought, probably wont make it.
