In as short as possible, how would someone "break in" to the video game industry who's only talents are writing?

I love GiantBomb... I wish there was more written content and that the videos be a bit more condensed... I feel the Quick Looks especially have a lot of ummms and so yeahs.

Good GAME? Not so much. Rather, I'd call it an awesome experience with a far above average story. I bought it upon release and don't regret that purchase

There was one summer where I got into a huge argument with my folks and I didn't feel like leaving my room to go to the bathroom, even to go the bathroom. I ended up peeing in an empty water bottle. I had to pee a few times that night. My mom needs something from my closet a few weeks later and finds these piss-filled bottles of water.

I honestly don't understand what the point of this is... What is Apple gaining from doing this?

pdmcmahon · 19 days

Why? These are the very definition of a commodity product. The only other commodity Apple makes is monitors, and even calling those a commodity is a stretch.

Wow first Facebook post on here with people I actually know...

Yeah, that was a pretty shit article I linked to on the way home (don't worry I wasn't driving).

I agree with what you're saying but basically I believe that the proposition of actually selling apps is a much more valuable notion. I believe that developers will head towards the platform that offers the best developer tools and the best way of making money. I believe that developers would much rather receive money up front and then offer a good app as opposed to doing something ad-based in which you would have to do it based on clicks in which you won't earn any money unless people will use your app.

I don't really know why you linked a two year old article that sort of counters your point in its title.

Here's an article that's a little over a month old saying why developers are leaving Android: http://www.solidmobiles.com/tech-news/more-and-more-developers-leave-android.html

To be honest, I'm very glad that Android exists, it just has a lot of problems. I was playing around with my ICS tablet this weekend and after spending the past two months or so with a new iPad, I'd forgotten how bad the app situation is. Utilities I take for granted such as Instapaper, and games that I play fairly regularly are nowhere to be found.

I don't blame the developers, the store currently isn't making them much money at all. If Google could just fix the store and make buying apps easier(maybe iTunes-style giftcards would help), then I believe developers would be more willing to port their higher quality iOS apps to Android.

Angry Birds is A phenomenon, that's like encouraging someone to go to art school to become a painter because Picasso paintings sell for a lot of money. The case could be made that Angry Birds is the most successful mobile app in history. Yes, the Angry Birds devs are making a shitload of money on Android but a great number of app developers aren't.

I'm not talking about Google, I'm talking about the owners of Android devices.

Market share doesn't matter if the owners don't buy shit.

Grab a Sager laptop, they're relatively inexpensive and work extremely well.

Before I was born my brother (around 16 at the time) was diagnosed (falsely) with cancer and his surgeon who was extremely well regarded was named Dr. Scarsguard (I think I spelled it wrong but that's how it's pronounced).

I understand Microsoft, I mean they'd rather get people hooked on Xbox games because they know people will buy a PC regardless an if you go into Costco and buy an HP, Microsoft only gets maybe $25 off that unit.

I mean based on the trailer which was clearly better than what the game will look like, I wasn't all that impressed, it seemed like what LA Noire would have been if it had come out a few year earlier.
