  1. Hi guys.

    Thanks for the episode as usual 🙂

    I am still playing a lot of Pokémon Go cause I walk around a lot. My life is too fucked up at the moment that I don’t want to start a new game like baldurs gate. I really want to play it, all my friends are playing it and they love it.
    Jonah is the first person I know who doesn’t like it and talks that bad about it …. But that’s ok for sure… it’s everyone’s personal thing to like something or don’t like it. Even if it’s only to be against 96% of all reviews ?

    The other games you talked about, I really don’t know … besides suikoden .. that’s the only one I heard of from the Original PlayStation.

    I did not play any sf6 but I like that tmnt costume idea, but I don’t like the price 🙁
    I still want to watch the evo, especially the Street Fighter tournament … so I had to skip the last minutes of your podcast… I was afraid you talk about it ?

    Ok, that’s all for today.

    Stay healthy and happy 🙂

    Greetings from Germany,
    Ralf

PlayStation 3’s Wireless Keyboard AttachmentPlayStation 3’s Wireless Keyboard Attachment

This is a prototype of the keypadSony’s done it, they’ve announced a wireless keyboard adapter to plug onto the stock PlayStation 3 controller. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard of this, Microsoft pushed out a keyboard for their Xbox 360 controller last year to provide faster chat abilities and, overall, smooth the interface when needing to type.

Now, Sony’s following up with a few more advancements, “the wireless keyboard also features a touchpad mode to allow for mouse input. David Reeves, president of SCEE, said that this touchpad control mode may be used in future game development.” (kotaku)

Is there any chance our next-generation consoles will be more “PC like” out of the box? With these complex user interfaces featuring web browsers, online marketplaces and areas to enter your credit card information (and addresses) you’re really heading towards needing this type of interface. Now, they’re all starting to include chat and messenger services making it more important… if it catches on.

Perhaps the next console hitting the market will come with a keyboard as an in-the-box solution. Please note, the above image is Sony’s prototype image.
