I’d like a psychotic pocketfish

Let me paint you a picture:
Sony wants Dreamcast games for PSN…
the PSP has already been shown running a DC emulator (albeit a slow one, but this was homebrew)…
most recent PSPs have built-in microphones…
So naturally… the first obvious application would be to run Seaman.
Portable disturbing digital pocketfish. For those important questions that arise in life, you could [...]

Monday links: ’tis the season

It got damn cold in Toronto last week. People wonder why Canadians are so into electronic entertainment; it’s because the weather turns semi-lethal for six months of the year.
Here’s what caught my eye last week:
Microsoft is blocking 3rd-party memory units in the latest Dashboard update [Joystiq]. They are determined to keep an iron grip on [...]

IGN has the MGS Peace Walker Demo, Inexplicably

Nice surprise from Kojima and IGN: a demo for the new Metal Gear Solid game for PSP. Download here.

Monday Link Love

If you are anything like me, you roll into work on Monday morning, maybe do the caffeine thing, see if anything is on fire, and then proceed to distract yourself with web links. I’m from the Internet, and I’m here to help. So I’m going to try and do a recurring Monday morning post with [...]

Echochrome Is Dreamy

I used my randomly-forged Japanese PlayStation store account to download the Echochrome demo today for PS3. I also snagged the PSP demo, but was unable to check it out due to aforementioned forged Japanese account – the software instructed me that installing it under Nerfgun-san rather than Nerfgun would nuke my North American “certificate”, which [...]

Wipeout Pulse Caters To The Obsessives

When you’ve got insomnia, and you are a Wipeout fan awake at 4am, too tired to fly at 850KM/h, what do you do?
You obsess over a custom skin using wipeout-game.com’s unbelievably clunky Shockwave-powered online skin editor. Which requires you to run your Mac browser under Rosetta emulation of all things, because almost no one uses [...]

A lot of Sony games are including a function to export screen captures to JPEG lately. This is a strangely addictive pasttime for me.
