Long time admirer, first time creator

My first attempt at Machinima has just been put up (release party and everything … me, myself, and my headphones)

Check it out here!

PS3 for dummies …

The release of the new giant in gaming – the PS3 – is on its way … although the release date has once again been shifted – now for a Danish release in March 2007! So, we get a little more time to ask ourselves “is the PS3 worth waiting for?”  Do we the consumers have the economy to support such a dear little thing?

I for one do not.

“The most sophisticated entertainment machine for consumers worldwide” … hmm. It is definitely sophisticated, but as an entertainment machine – I don’t think I can keep up with its golden (*Mac white) glean. For economically strong users perhaps, or for those who really get “their money’s worth” for networking with friends, family entertainment and so on – but what about us single women with a gaming poor network? The console costs the same as a round trip to Guam and a single game is 600 Danish crowns – that’s a lot of dineros to shell out.

Problem is – I’m stuck with PS … whilst I have very few friends to share games with, at least there are a few. If I shifted over to the Nintendo Wii (the console I find most tempting) I would narrow that down to zero contacts to share games with.

Perhaps within our small gaming networks we should be arranging meetings for group investment, and ask – “what do we want to play”… I for one would get more “sophisticated entertainment” out of my console if I could access more than the game that I bought it with (and that offer will probably first start in 2010!)

So, 9pm – my place, let’s hear about community console preferences

World of Warcraft – where new collaborative methods are put to the test

According to the Danish newspaper “Computerworld” (print 8. September 2006) the leaders of Danish Hi-tech businesses should be paying more attention to the methods of American Japanese Internet entrepreneur Joichi Ito. Ito has been busy fine tuning a new model of management within the virtual world framework of World of Warcraft (WoW). His WoW Guild is somewhat of a collective guinea pig for testing out new management models that, when transplanted into a proposed new company (a company whose employees will supposedly be recruited from Ito’s guild), will blow the exisiting management models out of the water.
The tone of the editorial note really questions

1) Whether Denmark is really a part of the global “technorati”? 

2) Whether there is anyone really pushing the envelope around here?

If there were a 90’s slogan slapped onto this it might be “I wanna be like Joichi”.

Looking forward to hearing more about the 9 year old as a department head.

Boost your CV – be a Google Image game tester

Is it a game? Is it free testing? Whichever one you choose – it’s a way to boost your gaming CV (especially for those with no experience.)  

I have played at least a dozen times and have never reached over 500 points. (Top scores round out around the 2,000,000 mark – hmm)
