Feed Techdirt: Thieves Vote For Blu-ray In DVD Standards Battle (techdirt.com)

Frank writes in to let us know that the latest news on the next generation DVD battle that almost no one cares about. Apparently, crooks favor the Blu-ray standard. At least that's the story concerning some thieves who broke into a video store last weekend and made off with a bunch of Blu-ray DVDs, but left all the competing HD DVDs. Somehow, I doubt that Sony will use its favor among thieves as part of the marketing campaign for Blu-ray.

A lot of people seem to think the guy who wrote the article is an idiot.

He makes his living off of writing RPG games.

I won't argue on the look of his games. They have very obviously dated graphics.
But his games are not about graphics.

I've personally purchased 9 of his games over the years.
They have good story lines, long play times, multiple endings and have a bit of replay value.

He does make good games for those looking for a game with depth and story to them.

Hes also very sarcastic.
Take a look at what he wrote about his daughter.

As is site is aptly named - Irony Central - The irony is hes an RPG writer who happens to make a decent living off RPGs, and can write off every game he plays as research.

Seeing what he wrote though, I'm more curious what his next game is going to look like.

As he wrote about starting you off as a loser, thats exactly how his games start you as well.

Here's a screenshot for anyone who wants to see what it looks like, and can't download/run it for whatever reason. It Seemed to render /. fairly well, but most sites were a little funny looking to say the least.
