    Про смерть IT-прессы

    Коммерсант пишет про одну из причин скоропостижного мора среди IT-прессы Украины:

    По словам экспертов, IT-пресса обречена на поражение от специализированных интернет-ресурсов. «Такие издания были перспективными, когда телекоммуникационные компании активно завоевывали потребителей, постоянно выпускали новые модели»,- отмечает директор баинг-агентства «Инфокон» Виктор Метелкин. Кроме того, минимальная стоимость тысячи контактов (СРТ; отражает отношение затрат на рекламу к числу человек, которые ее увидели) в интернете намного ниже, чем в прессе, что привлекает рекламодателей, добавляет директор медиаагентства «АИТИ/Carat» Александр Гороховский. Сейчас, по данным агентств, СРТ в интернете составляет около $1,7. Для сравнения: в прессе – $10,73.

    Халява

    steam-sale

    На Стиме сейчас пятидневная распродажа всякого. В индивидуальных играх ничего интересного я не заметил (все примечательное оттуда у меня без того есть, а демка Osmos не работает под семеркой), а вот в бандлах есть набор от THQ из тринадцати игр за 49 долларов. По отдельности они стоят почти 400, так что хорошая сделка, на мой взгляд. Жаль, что механизм extra copies к этому бандлу не применим, а то у меня из него половина игр уже имеется.

    Впрочем, они раз в сутки наборы меняют, так что может и будет еще что-то интересное по отдельности.

    World of Warcraft: Free 7 days
    So, all people who haven't been on World of Warcraft recently should have been sent an email that will allow them to renew their accounts for 7 days.

    If you haven't, the Battle.Net account management thing should have a link to activate the free time below the Frozen account status for your WoW account.

    gritty


    it is a terrible thing to be inured to the sense of possible impossibilities. sooner or later this city will take everything from you, and at a whim, give them back one at a time or in a flood, only to spin you around and leave you naked again. and you may tell yourself, "i'm never doing this again. i can leave and never look back." but you won't mean it. it won't last. that's when you know it has a power over you. that it has got you enthralled. the glamor that is the grime is simply in the nature of the beast. that is when New York slightly dulls that sheen of wonder and becomes a certainty. you'll accept it, because you love this place in a way you cannot explain for all the words in the world. you've been had.

    Thanks, and the Memories
    I am thankful for my family, the one I was born into and the one I'm marrying into.

    Things to remember:

    Deconstructing the Myth of the First Thanksgiving, and a number of good links at The Angry Black Woman Blog

    Скандалы, интриги, расследования

    И твиттер русского геймдева. Вот такой. В частности пишут:

    Говорят, студии разработок, финансируемые Акеллой, уже по полгода сидят без зарплат.

    Говорят, летом 2010 Nintendo отзывает у Нового Диска представительские права.

    Говорят, что следующая выставка КРИ может не состояться из-за массовых отказов разработчиков и издателей платить за стенды.

    Говорят, что в марте Astrum Online покупают портал Gamer.ru и делают его своей эксклюзивной площадкой для рекламы.

    Кое-что – правда, про остальное не знаю.

    via, опять же, fxigr.

    Baby are you down, down, down, down, down?
    I've been hearing Jay Sean's "Down" all over the place for several weeks now, but it wasn't until this morning that I saw the official video. As soon as the camera showed his face, I thought "hey, that guy looks Indian!" It turns out that he is! He's a Sikh, to be exact.

    His real name is Kamaljit Singh Jhooti... No wonder he changed it...

    DJ Hero продается плохо, Tony Hawk Ride – дерьмо (и тоже провалится), продажи Guitar Hero и Rock Band пошли на спад. При этом про продажи Modern Warfare 2 вы и сами знаете.

    Теперь надо, чтобы Starcraft 2, God of War III и Dragon Age: Origins продались тиражом в пять триллионов экземпляров каждая и классические игры можно считать спасенными.

    Gravity Crash

    gravity-crash

    Gravity Crash для PS3 хороший. Это Geometry Wars, но не на аренах, а на полноценных уровнях, со скалами, турелями, водой, лавой и заданиями. Очень похоже на невышедший еще PixelJunk Shooter.

    Самая прелесть – гравитация и инерционность управления. Столкновение с любым предметом приводит к повреждениям, а затормозить мгновенное нельзя, надо точно рассчитывать маршрут и прилагаемое ускорение. Плюс кроме воздуха можно играть под водой, там физика совершенно иная.

    Задачки разные – от сбора кристаллов и уничтожения определенного типа противников до спасения космонавтов. Есть еще боссы и несложные головоломки (в основном с кнопками, открывающими двери).

    В общем, такой очень качественный олдскул, мне нравится.

    P. S. Там еще редактор уровней есть, но я его пока не смотрел.

    Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
    Interesting movie just showed up on Syfy as I was flipping channels, called Stay Alive. Wikipedia says it was a fairly big budget 2006 summer movie, but I don't remember it at all. Mostly caught my attention because soon-to-be-dead victim mentioned Fatal Frame in the opening scene.

    Interesting! Fatal Frame isn't that well known of a survival horror game. Certainly not compared to Silent Hill (which is apparently also mentioned later in the movie, but I wasn't interested in watching further), and definitely not well known compared to Resident Evil. I'm curious on whether the other more obscure games of the genre are mentioned, like Alone in the Dark, Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem or Clock Tower. The movie didn't really seems all that interesting though, and the one who would've really been interested is already asleep. Oh well!

    Frankie Muniz is also one of the game players slash victims in this movie as well. He wore the most ridiculous outfit, a huge baggy white t-shirt with loose shorts and an upside down blue transparent plastic visor. I don't know if he knows, but that hasn't been in fashion for years. Unless you're a rapper, and he ain't no Eminem!
