Truth Set Free

Unless you had been living in another planet, you know, heard about
all the layoff going on right now.

The world economy is in very distress situation, but my question to
companies is why let people go?

Instead of letting people go, why don’t you just keep them and pay
 half or less wages to them or give them choices:

>>go and get nothing or stay and get less till situation fixed?

I know that some companies might just use it as excuse to pay less
but there can be regulations to that rule such as this only apply to
old and on layoff list employees.

I mean at this moment maybe only few very over qualify might
actually find another job when they get fired, so the rest going
to join the already benefit users and high up the jobless , but a
solution for less wages and higher than benefits is more likely
to make everyone confortable , certainly not happy though.

Have you been let go lately or do you think this method worth it?

I am no expert so this is my bit, keep comment related to topic please.

I will not make a long post here but all you read lately is Wii break records or PS3 is not doing well.Well let’s look at it differently and you will realize its normal PS3 is not doing well.

Let’s see right now:

-Wii and DS are doing well because all focus on Gamecube and GBA gone.
-Xbox 360 is doing well because support or releases for original Xbox gone, but.
-Sony PS3 is walking the line with PS2 which just make it hard and on top PS2 games still being released right now up until June this year.

In my opinion Sony need to cease game releases for PS2 and focus on PS3 but then try and find a way for PS3 owners to play PS2 games or start selling PS2 games on PS Store.

And one plus PS3 have over the rest is , so far hackers havn’t been able to break it yet, so everyone playing at least PS3 games is legit while there’s modchip all over the net for X360 and Wii.

They said you can’t follow two path at the same time.

Now i say if PS2 is out of the line those report and analyses can be 100% accurate because right now it’s like 2 vs 1.
The report should go like PS2+PS3 vs Wii , not just Ps3 vs Wii or x360 vs Ps3

[update] Seems a hacker have found a way to play PS2 games on PS3, Sony need to get this to work legally not some hackers program which can break down the unit, we want official tool.

Am not a PS3 fanboy so please keep comment relevant to the topic.

If you’ve been following this freak news when last year a 16 year old boy Daniel Petric shot his parents in cold blood because they took away his Halo 3 (halo 3 is an Xbox 360 game) which resulted in his mother’s death but the father survived, am sure you must be disgust because it’s just insane and one of those things you just don’t know what to think.

Petric now 17 had his hearing last month, and today the judge has convicted him of his crimes although no sentence was passed on yet, he is facing the maximum possible penalty of life sentence in prison without parole.

Described as a cold, calculating killer who plotted to murder his parents by the prosecutors, the defence in other hand attributed his crimes to irresponsibility due to his video game addiction (it was also revealed that when Petric left the crime scene, there was only one thing which he took with him: his copy of the Halo 3 game), thankfully the Judge overruled this stupid argument, and pointed to evidence saying that he actually plotted the act.

“Mark Petric, who is a minister at New Life Assembly of God in Wellington, testified that his son came into the room and asked: “Would you guys close your eyes? I have a surprise for you.”
The father testified that he expected a pleasant surprise. Then his head went numb from a gunshot and he survived. His wife, Susan, 43, died of gunshot wound to the head.”

I really was going to blame the parent for bad parenting but even bad parenting doesn’t deserve a gun shot.

The father was a priest so I know there might be some up and down there but the kid deserve prison for life, I don’t really believe in death sentence because killing him won’t do any good , I rather let him live and feel the sorrow , sadness, loneliness , shame of his act.

So this week we’ve seen quite lot of trailers and gameplay videos coming from CES 2009 but I was wondering how helpful or not trailers and gameplay videos are to us end users?

To be honest trailers aren’t bad, they help build lot of hype to the title even if the end product turn out to be not good as advertise while gameplay videos just show you exactly how the end result is going to be.

So which category good for trailers and which is good for gameplay videos?

♦ Trailers are good for movies plain and simple and not so good for video games in my humble opinion because they are cut-scenes which always look good even for the worst game and they don’t tell us anything about the actual gameplay or how the battle system is.

♥ Gameplay videos in other hand are very good and useful for us end users as we know straight away how good the game is and if it’s something we will like although we don’t know much about story.

For us here we watch trailers but we love gameplay videos, if its movie related then fine but games related we only want gameplay videos.

If the game is truly good gameplay will add more hype than trailers but if it’s not so good well trailers will do it good while fooling us buyers.

We encourage developers to give us more gameplay videos instead of load of trailers with pre rendered videos which at the end don’t tell us how the game really is, at least if you must trailer, make a trailer which include few real gameplay please.

We know quite few people will disagree but again give us your thought and as we aren’t any guru this is our own view.
