"ops. Looks like I made a typo too!

"How much input [i]do[/i] you have" vs "[i]did[/i]" maybe? Perhaps you were refering to a theoretical game, and he assumed you were referring to the work he did on "Heracles". You did say THE game and not A game.
I don't play a lot of JRPGs so localization is not something I think about, but this was still very interesting. I want to sit in on a team doing some bad localization. I bet it would be hila"

Whoa whoa whoa... why do you think a 2.4Ghz Quad, 8800 SLI, 4GB RAM computer will be worse than an Xbox 360? Xbox specs are 3.2Ghz Tri, single 500 Mhz GPU, 512RAM which is shared between CPU and GPU.
Certainly the Xbox 360 gains quite a few frames by being a dedicated gaming machine. Keep in mind that to make a fair comparison (frame rate comparison anyway) you need to play with all the same settings. 1280x720 only (unless you want to compare the few console games that actually run at 1080p natively), 4xAA max, and so on. If you tried to run Bioshock on your Xbox 360 at 1080p say, it would seriously chug.
I can't disagree that PC gaming is more expensive, and you make some good points about the merits of console gaming, but a $1800 PC bought two years will definitely run any current gen console game better... at the same settings. In fact my $1000 PC runs all same games (again, at the same settings). And I bought it 3 years ago next month.
The latent PC gamer in you may cry out at leaving the textures to medium, and only playing on the middle resolutions, but that is what you are looking at when you play on consoles.
And if you will excuse me, I am going to now play Empire:TW at 1680x1050 with MST3K playing on my second monitor next to my browser I keep open to cruise the intern"

"on't mind the content of game coverage for the most part. I do think most of it is repetitive, rehashed, etc, but it takes so little time to skip past all the garbage and get to the good stuff it doesn't bother me. It seems like contemporary game journalism is the logical offspring of the nature of the internet and the subject it reports on. However, that is a subject for an entire blog post (which I hope to write), if not a book.
What does bother me is the tone of a lot of articles I see on the internet. Snarky, snippy, "I'm so jaded" writing is so hack and cliche. I expect it to be in the comments below the article, not in the article itself. In my mind it shows a lack of professionalism, and even worse, a lack of imagination. The most embarrassing is when writers try to pass snide off as funny. Editors (and readers) should be iron-fisted when trying to cut down the amount of snark that comes out of online news outlets.
As I was typing I just realized what the snarky writers remind me of: High School age kids who have low self-esteem. Desperately hating on everything around them to seem cool, not realizing how stupid they sound.
Awww, there now I’ve gone and don"
