73 percent of Ouya owners haven’t bought a game

After owning the little cube for more than a month now, I can attest to this. The marketplace and UI are horrible. I’ve since sideloaded the thing with XBMC and Netflix, and has become a nice media device, however.

Rise of the Legion

Fan created Expansion ideas and art for World of Warcraft. While I no longer play, it’s still worth a look at some of the effort put into this concept.

New Expansion - Draw your predictions!Rise of the Legion Lost in Translation Update This was originally a thread to draw up some stuff you think we might see in the next expansion, but a Chinese gold farming site saw the images and the context was lost in translation. They thought it was concept art leaks (which it clearly isn’t).…MMO-Champion [

Blogging, Simplified.

Say hello to Replica. Blogging platforms have been so busy trying to copy each other, there really haven’t been any other platforms that really fit what I needed. It borrows features from other platforms, and leaves out the ones I don’t need. At it’s heart, is a simple dashboard for creating and editing posts, built on top of Django web framework and written in Python. Anything can easily be edited. But what really makes Replica stick out above others? Lets take a look at some of the features I

Lead Members Leave Maxis to Form Indie Studio

Creative Directer Ocean Quigley, Gameplay Lead Dan Moskowitz, and Lead Architect Andrew Willmott have left EA/Maxis to form an indie studio, Jellygrade. An interesting move, but Im going to remain skeptical for the time being. Forming a studio to develop an iPad game just seems like a bad move with the shape of the current market.

U.S Says eSports Players Are Now Professional Athletes

Riot Games eSports manager Nick Allen:

This was a lengthy process; we had a lot of people fighting for this and it wasn’t something that happened overnight. This was a constant back and forth of ‘show us more proof… is this realistic?’ and that sort of thing. Eventually it got to the point where they were like ‘we have no reason to say no… okay, this is legitimate’.

The U.S. Now Recognizes eSports Players As Professional AthletesTo the general public, the idea that those who play video gam

Michael Pachter Questions Why Anyone would buy a Wii U

Nintendo’s in trouble right now. Nintendo, I think, waited two years too long to launch a competitive, high definition console…I think by the time they did launch a console which stacks up really well, the other two guys [Sony and Microsoft] passed them by, and I think they’re in a world of trouble right now.

I wouldn’t go so far as to say Nintendo is in trouble, but they have definitely waited too long. Between the poor marketing of the Wii U, and the lack of real third party support, its h
