I’ve seen a ton of forum posts saying that the PS4’s memory will be so expensive that it will drive the price to stratospheric levels. The problem with refuting this is that it’s hard for consumers to find information on the price of GDDR5 chips. The closest I can come up with is the following. If we find two graphics cards that are identical in every way aside from the amount of memory on them, then we might get some idea of how much this memory costs, at least on the retail side.

Clifford Unchained: "Deal With It"dudehugespeaks: Yesterday reports that Adam Orth, the guy who somehow caused this shitstorm, is no longer at Microsoft. Let’s pay attention to the wording here. Resigned. Not fired. Now, beyond all of the use of the impact font and the “Haha let’s make an internet meme out of this guy we’ve never met” let’s… I have no problem with the guy personally, but his argument was pretty weak.

Books: Oops, didn’t finish any… Games: 10. Alien Breed. A lot shorter than I thought. Also better than I thought at first glance. It helps to A. have the mapping device and B. know how to buy new weapons. I was kind of surprised when I realized that the ammo and key count carries over between play sessions. 11. Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. With this, I’m down to 1 Gamecube game.

I finished this game yesterday. I really can’t recommend it however… I only finished it off because I’m trying to polish off all my GBA and GC games this year. If you are foolish enough to play this game however, here’s a few things to remember. Use a guide when building your city and recruiting people. You’re given a choice on what kind of house to build, but the game doesn’t tell you what benefits each kind of house gives you.

I’m now done with Twilight Princess. That makes 3 Gamecube games down. Since I shifted Majora’s Mask off gamecube. Wind Waker was January, and Skies of Arcadia was February. I’m actually making progress on my other goal as well. I’ve gotten 5/7ths of the crystals in Link to the Past. I’ll probably have that done this week. That’ll be my first GBA game for the year.

Posterous is closing down… I guess I made the right decision to setup my blog on Tumblr despite the bookmarklet not being quite as good. Though, my sharing is now done on NewsBlur’s blog, so this is just my traditional blog here now.

Books: Oops, didn’t finish any… Games: 5: Skylanders: Spyro’s Adventure (PS3) 6. Knytt Underground (PSVita/PS3) 7. Radiant Historia (DS) 8. Skies of Arcadia (GC) 9. Life of Pixel (PSMobile/PSVita) Videos: 11: Trigun: Badlands. Actually pretty good. 12: My Neighbours the Yamadas. A bit repetitive, doesn’t really go anywhere. A bit like a comic strip turned directly into a show without breaking out of its 4 panel format. 13. Bamboo Blade. Reminds me of Yawara: Fashionable Judo a bit.

Keep in mind, these aren’t exactly accurate because Raptr doesn’t track time on the PSVita and PS3. I do a little bit of it manually though. Persona 4 Golden would have blown P3P away if it did though. What strikes me is how few games the average Raptr user plays in a year. 12 games seems like an awfully low number, but I suppose there must be a lot of multiplayer gamers on the site.

I think I have a gaming goal now for 2013. It’s not too terribly difficult of one though. (I apparently posted this to the wrong blog before…) I’m going to try and finish all of my remaining Gamecube games. There’s not too terribly many of them left though. 1. Zelda: Wind Waker (I played this in 2003 nearly to the end. I just restarted tonight and I’m down to the final sequence of 5 bosses.

Last year’s status: 8 Books, 43 games, 113 Videos. The goal is to grow the first category and shrink the last one this year… So far, I’m not really meeting this goal, but that should improve when my netflix disc account finally ends in february. Books: 1. .Hack//Another Birth, Volume 1. Pretty entertaining, seeing the story from another perspective. Though, that will only be the case for the first book as I never finished the other 3 games.
