What a sad attempt to foster good publicity.
Ugh. This is hardly an unbiased look at the company. Every point made is completely one-sided in favour of the almighty Gamestop. I understand how the Store Manager doesn't want to badmouth his employers, but what's Wiirevolution's excuse for sticking to these cushy questions? It's an ad, not an interview.
Truly crap journalism.
Personally hoping "stuff" = "games".
Two related thoughts for me:
The bare planets got to me a bit too. I was pretty disappointed to find out the only unique civilisations you visit (besides the rare and somewhat cookie-cutter settlements during side quests) are directly connected with the main quest. While I fully realise that damn near ALL RPGs follow this trend, there are usually a lot more than 4-5 cities...on a planet. Never mind a galaxy. Tech limitations will sadly apply.
Second, if you are goin...
Haha. That was well worth the diversion.
Did Tony P agree with you? Did your comment make him laugh?
@1.5: I agree. In fact, some comments address the issues with greater clarity than the blog post.
I predict this news will NOT sit well with some gamers.

^^^^Said what I had to say a lot more thoroughly.
I know, right? Even though I like Team ICO, sounds a little iffy throwing what could be massively multiplayer action into the minimalist lore of Ico/SotC. A huge part of those games seems to be isolation through your environment. I don't doubt their ability to pull off an acceptable compromise, but definitely taking this as a rumour.
Firefox is dying because Chrome now runs under Linux? Guy sounds off his rocker!
In case you don't recognize the idiom, it implies a loss of one's faculties.
It's a fast browser. Faster than Firefox. But my satisfaction doesn't sway with speed alone. If Chrome can steal away some of my favourite addons while maintaining that superior alacrity maybe I'll consider switching.
Pretty non-committal about remakes. I'll probably play it if it's released but I'm not clamouring for one. SE seems to focus a good bit of its business on remakes already. They'll get around to VII at some point.
For now, I'd rather have their talents focused on new games. Even the disappointing ones.
“I don’t know if we’d ever release it on Steam or any other digital distribution format for that matter. For right now PC is planned just on GFW LIVE, nothing else.”
Hm. Seems like that might be nearing the muddy waters of a wordy business arrangement. DLC on 360 and PC...but only offered through MS's own services. :/
I installed and got a program crash when I tried to maximize the window. Second round has been better though. It's definitely a step up above IE7 although I don't see myself switching. There are simply too many useful features in Firefox which don't translate into IE.
One complaint so far: IE set itself up as the default browser w/o asking.
"Mortal Online is a first-person MMORPG in a fantasy setting.
Mortal Online is a next generation PC MMORPG both in terms of graphics and gameplay. There are no PvP zones, only an open realistic world where you are free to choose your own path. Experience true real-time combat where you decide every move your character makes and where your personal skill really matters.

Very nicely reviewed. In-depth.
On a side note, the character models in TLR show that your character models don't have to look like they've had a Vaseline bath when rendered in UE3. Please take note of this, devs.
I'm dismayed to see a negative IE8 article...especially since I installed it no more than 10 minutes ago. However it seems much improved over IE7 in regards to speed. I was about to say you should give it a chance. Judge the software on its merits before condemning it outright.
That was before I maximized my window and hit a wall of instant fail. :/
"You chose to end a non-responsive program". I'm not getting rid of it instantly... This might have something...
@Lfmesquite: I actually thought you had a nice point with the cost argument. I've seen that a lot actually, where consumers assume both products are equal and play the same games, then boil it down to cost.
But "no one cares" about PS3's exclusives? Daft. Loony. Are you swimming around in our collective unconscious picking at our empathy or are you basing that statement off the numbers? Because if it's the latter, I don't see how you could come to that conclusion.
The only "people" with a vested interest in PS3's failure are fanboys and Sony's competitors.
Forget the answers. I expect them to be PR for someone still currently working there.
What's with Wiirevolution AGREEING with them in the interview?
"Store Manager X: Like any person who has sold a used bicycle, clothes, Dvd’s, books, or even bigger commodities like a car or house, I believe the money made from selling these used things should go to the current physical purchaser/owner of that item, not someone with “intelligent rights”, it’s greedy and underm...
