What the hell.

Apparently, Activision has no desire to share their controllers with Rock Band. Perfectly understandable, from a business point of view. But look here, and you’ll realize how little it makes sense when compared to what’s going on on the other end of the spectrum. On Xbox 360, the Les Paul (GH3 controller) works fine with Rock Band.

Now, either Activision couldn’t kill off the compatability forthe 360 version of Rock Band, or they’re making a move that makes no sense at all. They gain nothing from angering the hundreds of thousands of PS3 users that would want to use their Les Paul on either game. They stand to lose a lot of future Guitar Hero sales and they stand to lose a lot of leeway with Sony when it comes to releasing multiplatform and exclusive games.

So… what are they thinking?

GayGamer (such an invaluable source of information) informed me of a 25-minute video of the beta functions for Home uploaded to Gametrailers, which I watched all the way through, ecstatic.

 I’m looking forward to Home like children look forward to Christmas.

 But I need a PS3 before then.

 I haven’t posted in a while because I’ve been playing Rock Band, FFXII when not at work. So sue me, work is exhausting. I’ll get a vacation soon and I’ll be able to get around to it. That, and all the other little projects I’ve been asked to do–help with homework, developer commissions (I’m actually getting jobs outside my job–I feel so amazing). I have a huge update soon. And when cool things stop happening, I’ll be able to talk about M.U.L.E.

I promise.

Also, LittleBigWorld movie. I was so magically absorbed by the cuteness of this game that I looked for GDC demos part 1 and part 2 so I could see more of it. I’m enchanted by this game. I want it so bad. It looks like a wonderful, mindless waste of time.

(Why is my Youtube in Spanish? Ugh.)

I’m slowly turning into a casual gamer.
