GGPO enabled? So those of us that have been illegally playing it online get to keep doing so?

Minecraft on a console doesn't suprise me. The fact that it's Kinect does slightly.

But as soon as this winter? I call bullshit. No way in hell Notch can work that fast.

Well, one must consider: how long have they already been working on it? They did announce an Android port a while ago, too.

And before he showed off the Android port, if you followed his Twitter he talked about Minecraft on phones in the future and showed him working on it. That was a while ago. of course, he said there was some problem at that time...

RE: BF3

Battlefield 3

I'd also like to see a lot more on the Frostbite 2 engine. Maybe a new Battlefield 2142 without bullshit lag on titan mode?

As someone who has always loved their Xbox and felt they made a lot of the right decision before Kinect, this is how I feel: (Thank you reddit)

Best thing so far is Kaz Hirai announcing their partner for the 3g of the NGP (now officially the PS Vita) being AT&T, followed by laughter and booing.

The Vita looks like a strong piece of hardware though, and for the same price as a 3DS. I'd say Nintendo might have a problem trying to compete with it, but I bet we'll see a price drop on the 3DS before the Vita launches.

What are the data caps on AT&T's current 3G plans like?  I'm guessing it's only a tiny fraction of a single Vita game download.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

It's so surreal.  Yesterday I lived in a world where everything I knew was still right and the motions of the stars and planets made sense.

Today, I live in a world where Duke Nukem Forever was released.

And Jamestown! Look, here's what you do: Buy Jamestown instead, because it's better, and it tells the story of the ill-fated Roanoke mars colony, and donate the $40 you save to a local women's shelter instead!

I heard that Jamestown only has local coop. Is this true?

Yes. Online bullet hell would make people want to kill themselves, because the first moment you get any lag at all you are dead. That said, devs have said they'll look into it if enough people bitch*, and the steampowered forum is made up of people bitching.

*Could just be a rumor.

Is there a 3d-platformer-with-shooty-and-smashy-bits shaped hole in your heart?  You just might want to give Alice: Madness Returns a try. 

Seriously, it was pretty fun!  Just don't expect any revolutions in gameplay, beyond managing to not be shitty at the 3d-platformer part, which is pretty important!  It's not the next Mario Galaxy, or anything, but it kinda plays the way I imagine the original Alice would have played if people 11 years ago knew what they were doing with 3d platforming games.

Also: playing HD-ified Alice is a nostalgia trip combined with rudely ripping rose-tinted glasses from my face.  I don't recall ever being so forcefully reminded of how spoiled I am by current-gen graphics and game design.
