Woohoo, finally somebody who's seen less Star Wars than I!

I've seen more of the Family Guy parody of SW than the actual movies. :pac:

I demand you all go awkward questions to Togepi now.

When's the next version of android released?

Why the hell do Google need to ask people for money?

Not being developed by Google. And even if it was, Kickstarter would be a good way to judge market demand. There're two posts on my blog about the OUYA, it's being designed and manufactured by a guy who did the One Laptop Per Child tablet thingy a while back. The CEO is an Ex-IGN marketing exec I believe.

I'm psyched for it. I'm pretty sure every aspiring game developer had a mini orgasm when this was announced.

I'd be less inclined to agree. It's not as powerful as a lot of android *phones*, it's bulkier, and it won't have any exclusives. It'll also be running on a completely different architecture to "real" consoles, so ports are awkward. Hardware wise, it isn't great. It still beats out the Wii, but the wii isn't known as a powerhouse.

Exclusives? It can't have any, due to being android. If it runs on OUYA, it'll run on every other phone out there. Hell, you can run android within your computer with ease (though it's not exactly lightning quick, as you have to emulate ARM within). Android isn't a gaming platform. It's designed for phones, not consoles.

My honest opinion is that this will fail.

You could be right, but I still think anything that opens up development to a wider community is a good thing for the games industry as a whole. Even if it's a complete and utter financial disaster for the creators, I'll at least be able to come home at the weekends, hook up the thing to the TV and show my parents I'm not actually wasting my time with my college course. :pac:

I would also disagree that everything that'll run on OUYA will have to run on phones. Granted, they may load on phones, but phones don't have a Wii U like second screen as a controller. It opens up development possibilities.

Guess we'll find out in 10 months.

EDIT: I just read the specs of the thing, and it will have exclusives. The OUYA has a controller that has two analog sticks, a touchpad, d-pad and 8 buttons. What phone has that?

And very few phones have a HDMI-out, as well as a quad core processor and 1GB RAM.



Anyway, on another note, does anyone want to recommend me some fun Android apps? Looking to get a few more things on this new phone since it can actually handle stuff.

Love to know where this thingy came out of

I like dragons but that is one uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugly set of wind chimes.

Found it buried in my wardrobe along with
2 belkin dsl routers
A car stereo
Old halloween costume bits & pieces
Rock band drum set
Atari Jaguar (but I knew that was there)

I have a chimes in my room too! If any robbers ever came in they'd smack off it and wake me up, and I'd...I dunno, cower in fear? :P

I've got three sets and one used to be at my door so that if people were coming in and out I'd hear it but it got too annoying!

Martin Sheen was Skinner? And Uncle Ben? :eek:

Ah he's a great actor, anyone ever watch The Way? Probably not, I watched it in religion for somewhat religious reasons but unlike most of the films we watch in that class, I actually loved it. Changed my life...in a minuscule way, but changed it nonetheless. Gonna go listen to its soundtrack now.

He's our most famous alumni, second only to this guy.

No, its just the guy from this ad. I often see him around the college and find it quite amusing.

He seems to be a lot happier than he was in those ads.

UCD has some pretty famous alumni. There's James Joyce, Patrick Science Hub, Martin Engineering, Alan O'Student Union. Loads of them.
