Oct 10th 2007 3:39PM One overwrought O that drained Darth Vader's dignity in direct proportion to its length.

Thompson sends own son on personal sting operation against Best Buy (Joystiq)

Sep 13th 2007 7:00PM Why do you guys print every email he sends you? Even if you're ridiculing him, you're still giving him a voice. Just ignore him.

A peek inside Joost (Download Squad)

Apr 7th 2007 12:02AM Please, whenever you write an article about something, include a little bit of information on what it is. I don't know what Joost is, and I can't figure it out from the name "Joost". I don't want to dig through the links to find out either - just a sentence in your post would do wonders.

Joost 0.9 released with better video and oh yeah, some ads too (Download Squad)

Apr 2nd 2007 10:24PM It's funny, nobody who reports on Joost bothers mentioning what it is... as if the name "Joost" is completely self-explanatory.

Introducing XBList 3.0 -- XBL on your desktop (Joystiq Xbox)

Jan 15th 2007 5:43PM Please don't sweat the resource usage - that's normal for a .NET app, and it doesn't really consume all that memory. Check out this from the FAQ:

razer: I'm sorry you think it's ugly - I've got a lot planned for the future in the way of aesthetics. I assure you I'm not half-blind. What do you mean by GIGANTIC though? I mean, the gamer cards are the size of gamer cards, and the popup notifications (which you can disable if you like) are the size of your standard MSN/Outlook popups.

I'm glad people like my picture.

Joyswag: A Castle Crashers tee for your thoughts (Joystiq)

Sep 10th 2006 6:15PM Like I told the Behemoth guys at PAX, the best thing about this game is that you can have 2 people on one Xbox and 2 people on another Xbox and still play over Live. Games like X-Men Legends II, which disallowed a setup like that, were hugely disappointing to me, since it means my fiance and I can't play together with our friends. The Behemoth is making a great choice in allowing that configuration, and I hope they keep in mind what an important feature it is for future games.
