It funded, everyone involved got their copy of the game and it's available for purchase in the traditional manner now. A friend of mine bought it and we played this past weekend. It was a lot of fun, incidentally.

Nintendo DSi Software Will Be Region Locked 148

Posted by Soulskill
from the don't-import dept.
aliquis writes with news that software made for the recently announced Nintendo DSi will be region-locked. Nintendo's reasoning is that the DSi "embeds net communication functionality within itself and we are intending to provide net services specifically tailored for each region." It's also been discovered that accounts with the DSi's online store won't be linked with the Wii store, so points for one won't work with the other. Nintendo has stated that they don't intend for digital distribution to replace retail sales. We discussed the DSi's announcement last week.

I played on CF for pretty much the whole second age and staffed for a while towards the end of that time.

I have to say, sometimes in WoW I miss things about CF. One thing in particular... You see, I'm on an RP server...

Just once, I'd like Nazmorghul or Jullias or Cador to fade into existence while some moron was shouting OOC stuff in the middle of Ironforge, give an appropriate speech and then slay the offender. Maybe eat their corpse, while we're talking wish fulfillment.

Spore Is EA's New Ace 406

Posted by Zonk
from the less-soul-sucking dept.
BusinessWeek reports on EA's Next Big Thing. From the article: "EA is stumbling, and a big part of its time-tested strategy is about to change. The company hopes that its next mega-franchise will revolve not around a football star, a boy wizard, or a dashing British spy, but...a microbe. The game is called Spore. Developed by Will Wright, the creator of SimCity and The Sims, it lets players design an invertebrate in its primordial stages and then guide its evolution until the creature's offspring develop into a thriving civilization with cities, religion, and spaceships. EA's ambitious goal is to create more such innovative, internally developed games while lessening the company's dependence on professional sports and Hollywood movie franchises."
