John Carmack is excited about the iPhone. And what better day to express such enthusiasm than the launch of Doom Resurrection, an iPhone shooter developed by Escalation Studios that really pushes the hardware. It follows Carmack's recently released Wolfenstein 3D, a port of the first-person shooter that launched a genre, which was a success in the App Store.
In the past, though, the chief technology officer of id Software has not always been bullish on Apple. "Half of the year, Steve Jobs thinks I'm an asshole because I said something not complimentary of an Apple platform," riffs Carmack before catching himself. Well, Jobs should be happy about the praise Carmack offered Apple during IGN's interview this morning, such as calling the App Store the "wave of the future."
Growth driven by digital software and console hardware sales.
The winner of the Pokémon Go Championship grand finals in Orlando was stripped of their title, allegedly for 'unsportsmanlike conduct' during their victory celebration. The celebration involved the winner removing their headset, standing up, and pumping their fists before shaking hands with their opponent. Many believe the ruling was excessive and that winner's victory celebration was tame compared to celebrations by winners in other competitive games.
There are people that get offended seeing others just enjoying a moment, or enjoying a hobby, or just having fun.
Can someone explain to me what is so problematic with this? I watched video multiple times and all I see dude having bit of celebration. None of his actions felt aggressive or seem like they symbolize anything... Like winning sure deserves bit of celebration like that. I mean who wants to live in the world where you aren't allowed to be excited or have bit of burst of happiness when you win? Like was he supposed to act like emotionless robot? He should be allowed to have bit of his victory "hell yeah" moment, even if it is before shaking hands with opponent. Like it is not like he didn't shake hands or whatnot. And it is not like he is like some super serious government official to have to stick to protocol to a letter. This whole thing is just ridiculous.
These new paid games, game trials and “buy once, play anywhere” pricing are coming to Play.
