  JurieOnGames: @ivanassen It depends how they announce it... IMO it's better to announce one big delay than many small ones. Better for dev morale too.

  JurieOnGames: .@fbindie I've always found IMVU seedy tbh. The characters look like pre-teens, but don't dress or act like them.

  JurieOnGames: @pmjordan Microsoft claimed this at GDC about 10 years ago, based on the massive testing they did for Halo.

  JurieOnGames: @pmjordan Microsoft has more or less proven that 50% of gamers like to 'invert' the Y axis.

  JurieOnGames: @pmjordan That's why it's idiotic :) Sort of. It's a common option in Japanese games, I think.

  JurieOnGames: TweetDeck doesn't deal gracefully with Posterous links. Hard to tell if that link is to a picture or a story...

  JurieOnGames: Hm, TweetDeck is being flaky.

  JurieOnGames: @ClickNothing Very nice. To be honest I have nothing against the canned duck confit I occasionally buy in France.
