08/18/2004 03:11 PM
AP - Atari could have redefined guns and gas pedal mayhem with the much anticipated "Driv3r" (pronounced Driver 3), the latest installment in a series of bad-boy-driving-'n'-violence titles. But there's nothing new here to see — nothing new graphically, emotionally, or functionally in the way of game play.

sony_hmp.jpg image

Portable Media World (a spanking new sister site to our favorite French gadget site, Akihabara News) has a review of the HMP-A1, the second-generation video player from Sony. They're impressed by its fit-and-finish, but it's clear from the review that Sony has crippled the device, forcing the user to go through two different programs to copy audio and video to the unit (and no ATRAC, hilariously), as well as reencode most video before transferring it over (it supports MPEG 1/2/4 but not MPEG4 derivatives like DivX or XviD, apparently). Battery life varies wildly depending on how much decoding the HMP-A1 must do, but even when gnawing on the relatively dense MPEG2 files it manages around a 4 hour playback -- couple of movies worth, which is decent. Left-handed users get an unfulfilled tease, as the HMP-A1 supports a screen pivot for lefty use, but doesn't switch the directions of the controls, meaning scrolling down, for instance, will cause the HMP-A1 to scroll up.

It looks nice, but considering the major market for these units -- we geeks who rip our own DVDs, record TV, and download video (illegally) -- it's probably better to wait for one of the iRiver or Archos players that don't do annoying things like hide the directories on the hard drive.

The Right Wing's 'Noise Machine'


The Right Wing's 'Noise Machine' 05/11/2004 09:12 AM

  • David Brock: The Mighty Windbags. Today, the most important sectors of the political media -- most of cable TV news, the majority of popular op-ed columns, almost all of talk radio, a substantial chunk of the book market, and many of the most highly trafficked Web sites -- reflect more closely the political and journalistic values of the Washington Times than those of the New York Times. That is, they are powerful propaganda organs of the Republican Party. For our politics, this development in the media represents a structural change: a structural advantage for the GOP and conservatism, and, I believe, the greatest structural obstacle facing opponents of the right wing. I therefore think it is one of the most important political stories of the era.

    Alias: The Video Game 04/15/2004 07:38 PM

    'Alias' takes on the gaming world: I'm not a big gamer, but this could temp me to start.

    The main character — agile, clever and impossibly beautiful superspy Sydney Bristow (played by the agile, clever and impossibly beautiful actress Jennifer Garner) — could easily hold her own with the gallery from "Mortal Kombat."

    Add in the fact that "Alias" and its epic, sometimes shocking sometimes schmaltzy storylines can be as engrossing as "Metal Gear Solid," one can convincingly argue that "Alias" is really just a video game that happens to come on your TV every Sunday night.

    Apparently Marshall plays a prominent role. As it should be.

    If IKEA was a video game


    If IKEA was a video game 01/25/2004 12:51 PM
    Treating spousally mandated IKEA visits as a video-game seems like a pretty good coping strategy, especially when you've got a walk-through to crib from. This is a screamingly funny piece from The Morning News.
    You start this world armed only with a UNIVERSAL FURNITURE-ASSEMBLY ALLEN WRENCH. This is the weakest weapon in IKEA: You will have to hit a person 16 times with it to kill them. So your primary goal in this level is to find more lethal means of dispatching your enemies.

    As you enter the SHOWROOM, perform a rolling dodge to the left. Grab a free PAPER TAPE MEASURE and a handful of IKEA EMBLAZONED GOLF PENCILS from the kiosk near the entryway. The PENCILS serve quite well as ranged weapons, but it will take some time to master their use. Before venturing further in the world, stand at the kiosk and practice hurling GOLF PENCILS at patrons as they enter the SHOWROOM. Remember: Hitting the eyes does triple damage.

    Now that video games are becoming more like professional sports it should be no surprise that a whole bunch of television programs involving video gaming are set to hit the tube. There have been a few such shows that have come on in the last year or so, but now they're going to be everywhere. It seems to be part of the battle of TV execs to combat the fact that more and more people are playing video games rather than watching TV. So, they figure they'll just throw up some programming that involves video games and hope it works.

    Disagreements About Video Game
    Addictions
    11/05/2003 02:55 AM
    We've seen plenty of stories about psychologists claiming there was a problem with people being "addicted to video games", but now some actual research is being done, and one psychologist is saying that video games are no more addictive than school or work. That is, unlike alcohol or drugs, there's no chemical dependency issue - it's a self-created addiction. However, plenty of video game players describe themselves as addicted, and that's good enough for many psychologists - who point out that self-described video game addicts often end up having "family conflict and romantic failure as a result of their hobby." Of course, one could claim that the family conflict or romantic failures made the person retreat more into the video game - or even that both the problems and the excessive video gaming were caused by a third factor. However, it's probably just easier for psychologists to bring in new business by claiming video game "addiction" causes all the problems.
