What Would Molydeux, affectionately referred to as “Molyjam,” is a 48 hour game jam inspired by the works of @petermolydeux, a loving parody of the legendary Game Designer, Peter Molyneux.

While I won’t officially be participating, I think this might be the perfect time to flesh out an idea I’ve had for a while. Look for an update Monday next week.

In select circumstances, until earlier today, the Zynga game Coasterville told users to email a certain address @themepark.com if something went wrong. The problem is, that email address didn’t belong to a Zynga employee.

Not too surprising, seeing as both the PS3 [http://www.scei.co.jp/ps3-license/] and Vita [http://www.scei.co.jp/psvita-license/] also run modified versions of FreeBSD.

Details about Playstation 4 OS developmentWe have some details about the development of the Playstation 4 OS. The Operating System is called “Orbis OS”. It is a modified version of FreeBSD 9.0. We aren’t sure if this will bring again the “Other OS” functions to Playstation 4 (remember that this option enabled Playstation 3 to in

I love these kinds of anecdotes.

Dirty Game Development TricksOne of Game Developer’s most popular features was our “Dirty Coding Tricks” bit from 2009, where we got devs to open up about some of their ugly hacks -- and in 2013 we’re back with nine new from-the-trenches stories, including a few unorthodox tricks from other dev disciplines besides programming.Game DeveloperGame Developer Magazine StaffJune 24, 2013 [http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/194772/dirty_game_development_tricks.php]

Basically, I’m fucking furious.

Yea, Naughty Dog is large studio, but Im pretty sure something like this was an honest mistake. So, rather than taking the mature approach of contacting Naughty Dog, the author decides to take to Tumblr and complain to the Internets first. I wonder if the author got permission to use the various logos in some of the maps hes designed…

Maybe it’s just me, but if a website I built randomly popped up in a video game, I’d be pretty damn flattered.

Always on DRM is being removed, with the One only requiring a connection once to set the console up. Their used game/borrowing policy has also shifted to mimic Sony’s.

The official statement from Don Mattrick [http://news.xbox.com/2013/06/update]:

Continuing from my last post about the Xbox One reveal, I wanted to talk a little more about what happened yesterday at the Microsoft E3 press conference.

More specifically, what didn’t happen. Originally I gave Microsoft the benefit of the doubt when they raised a number of suspicious red flags. Always On DRM? How will used games be handled? Why does the Kinect sensor need to always be on and watching me? Given that the Xbox announcement was only two weeks away from E3, naturally I assumed th

David Hayter (Original voice actor for Solid Snake):

“Great actor, good man. The game will probably still be excellent. Like New Coke!”

A lot of people are under the impression this is all an act, and Hayter’s voice may very well appear in the game. I really have my doubts, but Kojima has shown the lengths he’s willing to go to mess with gamers [http://www.psu.com/a018925/] …so anything may happen.
