QuickJump QuickPeek 58: Of PSP summer homebrew contests, Square Enix's DKS3713 mania, and real-life mutant-pigs proving stranger than fiction |
It's August! It's August! And yes, the end of the world may be looming large already, care of the Hadron Collider, but pretty much everything else is business as usual. Especially since August is filled with some fun events.
In fact, just this weekend, one of them took place: Square Enix's DKS3713 private party down at Tokyo! Yeap, we got quite a doozy of news lined up for you guys, so be prepared. And then later sometime in the middle of the month, there's the Leipzig Games Convention at Germany.
So, hello, Weekend Warriors! Let's get this show on the road!
In other news, we also got a special treat for the homebrew community! The PSP Updates Summer Homebrew Contest has finally kicked off! Interested? Well, we got a sweet pot of US$ 300 to give away to the winner! New releases include emulators by the bulk: Dreamcast, Mac, Atari, ZX Spec, and more!

Some Xbox 360 hacks came in, including one that can supposedly run a leaked copy of the Xbox Live Experience update. New games (Armored Core yay!) have also been announced, and that makes us happy campers.

On the Wiibrew side of things, we have some wicked new programs for you, including two releases from waninkoko: the Wii Region Changer and updates on his Wii Custom Firmware programs. Unfortunately, it's not all good news this week as waninkoko and Team Twiizers have parted ways.

Windows has revealed the next-gen in OSes: Midori, the OS to end all OSes, is seen as a computing cloud of various networked devices. Over on the gamer side of things, we got a handful of Red Alert 3 deets and Spore updates.
The MMORPG community is a buzz with a ton of updates for some upcoming games like Star Trek Online, DC Universe, and Warhammer. There's even talk about a new law in Illinois affecting MMORPG gamers.
World of Warcraft fans can look forward to a healthy dose of information regarding Wrath of the Lich King as well. Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures subscribers got a new patch although the developers sure took their sweet time delivering it.

Did you get to see the Total Solar Eclipse a few days ago? Well, lucky you. The rest of us had to see it on the Internet. Anyhoo, it's potpourri in the Science blog this week - we have everything from the secret ingredient to making life, to... mutant pig-monkeys?

Comment of the Week: A comment on commenting (or bashing)
And where does the Comment of the Week hail from? We've heard of Comments of the Week coming from previous QuickPeek articles before, but for the first time ever (since the introduction of the Warriors, at least) we find one which comes from a Weekend Warrior!
The PS3's Warrior, to be exact. And again, just as much as this is PS3-related, that doesn't mean to say it cannot be applied to other platforms in general as well.
This comment from bugga12 is in reply to Glen D.'s closing remarks for the PS3 Warrior. While there's online bashing going around everywhere, it always pays to think about what you're about to say even before you say it (or type it out and click the "Submit comment" button).
More than this though, bugga12 also seems to understand the weighty responsibility we online bloggers have to face daily, and for that, mad props, dude! Mad props!

Well put, bugga12. I'm sick of arguing with fanboys that think they know best, when they clearly don't.
