Treyarch > Bungie

I'm as shocked as you are, but I think it's true. I have been playing some Black Ops multiplayer because of the double XP weekend and discovered the render feature. I knew you could save clips and screenshots much like the theater in Reach and Halo 3. I did not realize you could render clips up to 30 seconds FOR FREE AND HAVE THEM IMMEDIATELY POSTED TO YOUR YOUTUBE ACCOUNT!

Yea, I know!

So, I paid for Bungie Pro when Reach came out. I was given 5 render minutes a month. The way render minutes work is a joke. I wrote up a feature on Bungie Pro for Platform Nation a while back. I signed up because I thought it was the easiest way to get my clips to my YouTube account. And when I complained about it costing, all I heard from Bungie apologists is that it costs money to render the clips because it uses server resources, etc. Apparently it's worth it to Treyarch to eat that cost in order to give buyers of Black Ops this feature at no cost. This totally blows the apologist's argument out of the water.

Why's everybody gotta defend the devs when they make decisions like this that are only designed to pick our pocket? Drives me nuts!

Try Not To Fart (XBLIG)

I discovered an independent game this week called Try Not To Fart. Naturally, I had to capture some video of this comedic gem.

The premise of the game revolves around people in public trying not to fart in certain social situations. The first one has you in a club trying to pick up a girl. The second one is you at lunch in a restaurant.

I didn't spend the 80 points to buy the game. I'm not sure what other scenarios you go through since I didn't go past the second one, but if it includes one where you're in mid-coitus and trying not to fart, I might reconsider spending the $1.
