"I am Jane Jensen, creator of Gabriel Knight, Gray Matter and Pinkerton Road game studio. Ask me anything." by JaneJensenin IAmA

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

If you were 18 or 20 and wanted to do the same thing tomorrow, what would you change in your approach?

What's your favorite gaming publication/entertainment site and why? What would you change? by Influx07in truegaming

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.

Is L.A. Noire a good game? by StormKidin Games

[–]MyNameisTingles 1 point2 points ago

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

Today my neighbor called the police on me because I was singing Adele in the shower and she thought I was screaming. What's something you will never live down? by major_bummerin AskReddit

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.

Apple Should Make Older Mac OS Versions Free by kamoylanin apple

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

These were just so cool, why don't they make them anymore? by pdmcmahonin apple

[–]MyNameisTingles 0 points1 point ago

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.

I know him in real life, and he's actually a nice guy. Has a really monotone voice, though.

Android Piracy Is Huge Problem for Game Devs by FenrirIIIin Games

[–]MyNameisTingles 0 points1 point ago

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.

For those teachers out there, what are some stories about horrible parents you've had to deal with? by wealyin AskReddit

[–]MyNameisTingles 2 points3 points ago

I've honestly had some really shit teachers. It's everyone's fault, really.

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

My Gynecologist's name is Dr. Tittsworth. What's the funniest name you've ever heard? by shoopdedoopin AskReddit

[–]MyNameisTingles 0 points1 point ago

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).

Skyrim Dawnguard by jerryconnellyin Games

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.

How Treyarch created realistic human faces in Call of Duty: Black Ops II by DaDoc868in Games

[–]MyNameisTingles 2 points3 points ago

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.
