WARNING WARNING! Luke Knows Shit About Network Code!!

Man. There is nothing I hate more than someone who assumes something ridiculously complicated should be ridiculously simple. (That's not true. Drivers who don't use their turn signals, I hate more.)

Okay, sure, Sony is experiencing a major snafu this weekend with its online/offline game playing problem. To be honest, I had zero time to play my beloved Heavy Rain on either day to even notice this problem, but of course I have this disgusting urge to read Kotaku and "keep up with current events" if you will.

I'll spare the formalities and just jump to the meat.

Fuck you, Luke. The "design process" you are so non-chalantly referring to incorporates so many company facets and hundreds of thousands of lines of code that even trying to listen to a lead engineer give a simple overview would make your head spin.

If you knew about anything in the video game world you would take 3 seconds to realize that OFFLINE and ONLINE play are DIRECTLY related as a security measure against bootleggers and pirates. I bet you think game artists need to "tighten up the graphics of level 3" before Gold Disc submission. UGH.

I hate your bullshit reporting.

Asscraft Abandons Japs, Becomes a Limey Brit!

Mr. Asscraft has been so kind to inform us that the new need for speed game hits shelves on September 17th, and then September 22nd in the USA. Naturally, after reading this, I raced to GJ,K to make a post about how he didn't feel the need to qualify the first release date with a location, but had to qualify the second, just to show that he's in japan not USA. After a 5 second google search (Something people at kotaku are seemingly incapable of when doing their fact checking most of the time), I actually discovered that he's referring to the european release date! Well, well, well, I guess we can now officially say that Asscraft is no longer trying to identify as wapanese, and has officially moved on to becoming bloody good chums with some mates down at his flat.
