Is the human in the middle controlling something with that thing he's holding?

Very interesting, the underrated game Beyond Good And Evil involves creature photography as a fairly central gameplay element, and that bit is very good.
US Air Force To Suffer From PS3 Update 349
tlhIngan writes "The US Air Force, having purchased PS3s for supercomputing research, is now the latest victim of Sony's removal of the Install Other OS feature. It turns out that while their PS3s don't need the firmware update, it will be impossible to replace PS3s that fail. PS3s with the Other OS feature are no longer produced since the Slim was introduced, so replacements will have to come from the existing stock of used PS3s. However, as most gamers have probably updated their PS3s, that used stock is no longer suitable for the USAF's research. In addition, smaller educational clusters using PS3s will share the same fate — unable to replace machines that die in their clusters."
In related news, Sony has been hit with two more lawsuits over this issue.

Try to make deals with your kids? No offense but you sound almost militant. I think you need a whole team of techs to do all the stuff you mention too. :-)

I loved it, all the gripes are probably valid, it's monotonous but _montonously fun_ in a way. It helps if you love wilderness shooters (as opposed to stuff like Doom 3). The landscape graphics are breathtaking, the ending is cool, and that also manages to recreate some of the vibe from Far Cry.

I got this horribly long mail about this, and thought: fuck it, if this is bad, it'll be on slashdot. thanks as always slashdot.
