Don't forget, Meggo, that many print publications are struggling right now. It's tough to break in to the racket. Having done the online thing for a while, I can say that it's probably a better bet that the Internet is the future of gaming journalism...unless you want to work for Sessler and...

Roach, I thought you were a writer? Writers NEED to read, man! It's not just imagery and aural effects that the written word gets across. The depth of emotions, the complexity that only language can convey in the written form, the play on words that just can't be seen or comprehended when spoken...

So, finally went about viewing the Sony presentation of Home, the 3-D, online, virtual community being planned for the PS3. Interesting concept...Second Life for the PS3 perhaps? The PlayStation Network does need to offer something to differentiate itself from Xbox Live (besides the ultimate in...

Irresponsible headline on a cable news website??? Shocking...very shocking: Video game behind off-campus shooting http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/05/09/fresno.shooting.ap/index.html Seriously, this story seems to be about a murky dispute over an alleged stolen game console...but the headline...

I think you're actually on to it, Squall. Because of the uneven ratio, depending on what you buy off of Xbox Live Marketplace, you'll end up overspending to match up with the "price". Finally, if you have a remainder left over, you most likely don't have enough points to purchase something else...

Among the worst sequels I've seen was The Next Karate Kid, but I particularly HATED Batman & Robin

Judging by financial analysis from places like CNNFN.com and other technology and business news outlets, it looks like during the launch period, Sony shipped and sold around 200K units in North America...not Sony's own numbers, but it fits in with the way the shortages look. Nintendo looks to...

Doesn't he get Katie Holmes in 'Disturbing Behavior'?

When you're a kid, you certainly are very materialistic...some of us grow up a little, but most people are pretty fond of their stuff throughout their lives. Although, I have great memories of gifts and things as a kid, my best holiday memory comes from the Millenium Ball in London when I...

I totally agree...and I love talking politics. This is not the place for it. Besides, wasn't this supposed to be about Sony? Like, how we're still waiting to hear more about its awesome, free, Xbox-Live-esque, online service?

Sorry...let me clarify that: people might be wrong about facts. People, most definitely, can be wrong.

Just to chime in: I have reviewed games for fun and profit since about 1999. Now, I've seen many reviewers possessing these plum jobs based on they're being fans and having some writing skills, but many aren't pure journalists. Give them a break...they aren't writing New York Times Political...

Pretty pictures like the one Roach was kind enough to display, heh.

Oh crap! I forgot to drop F-bombs, cast aspersions about other people's sexuality and make irrelevant, racist remarks! I am a disgrace to the Internet!

I'm sorry, but that still doesn't make sense to me. All the disciplines of the humanities are tools that are utilized across the fields of study. Specialists like to focus on one branch as opposed to another, but nothing exists within a vacuum. Philosophy requires the study of History to...
