There was a time when I wanted to make a blog about video games, and this is that blog. I’m not really posting anymore, so there’s no point in this, but I can’t quite bring myself to closing this blog.
It took Microsoft a while to figure that PC users might enjoy a PC-optimized interface rather than a direct port of the Xbox blades; but, while 360 owners are looking forward to a nice Apple-inspired interface next week with fancy avatars, Windows gamers end up with what looks like a very limited redesign that replaces the console’s visual codes with Vista style. And still no stand-alone application (which is even more jarring, now that the Live interface is Aero-based instead of coming from a parallel gaming world).
More like a “yeah, yeah, we’re still thinking about you” ping.
