    ncroal: @justinmcelroy Are you talking about the games industry or Hollywood? I can't be sure...

    ncroal: @patrickklepek How much does knowing that @Gizmodo paid for the rogue iPhone affect your perception of the story?

    ncroal: RT @nicknotned: iPhone update. We think we've identified the sorry Apple engineer who left the next-gen phone at the bar. Calling in a min.

    ncroal: RT @Gizmodo: "This Is Apple's Next iPhone" http://gizmodo.com/5520164/ Looking less like a hoax and more like a scoop. Wow.

     

  • 05:32:46 pm on April 18, 2010 |

    ncroal: @Greenspeak Are you reading Ellroy's entire LA Quartet, or just The Black Dahlia?

     

  • 05:14:33 pm on April 18, 2010 |

    ncroal: @ebertchicago Great quote. His point? Like narrative in sculpture or interiority in film, story isn't 1st place to look for art in games.

     

  • 06:23:43 pm on April 17, 2010 |

    ncroal: @JaminBW You betcha!

    ncroal: @pkollar Until @ebertchicago actually plays some of the games he criticizes, my response to his last broadside stands: http://bit.ly/Q9cMn

     

  • 05:29:21 pm on April 17, 2010 |

    ncroal: @pkollar @justinmcelroy I don't know that nomenclature is the problem. Movies--short for moving pictures--seem to be doing just fine.

     

  • 04:49:50 pm on April 17, 2010 |

    ncroal: Why would people get mad at @ebertchicago? He played through Braid, Flower and Waco, then critiqued the medium on its own terms. Right?

    ncroal: RT @DRUNKHULK: FIRST DETECTIVE MARTIN RIGGS ARREST! NOW DETECTIVE ROGER MURTAUGH ARREST! HOW SAD! THEY BOTH SO CLOSE TO RETIRE!
