It'd be better just to buy a 3Ds or Vita. Persona 4 Golden is worth a million iphone-esque games.
They don't stick with magnets, just have to touch them side to side. Battery life is pretty good -- since they have such small screens, they lasted through all of my production (I had them on for hours while taking b-roll footage of how they worked). Susan might know better, since they're hers!Chrono212 said:
My business cards don't say "Enjoyer of Stuff" ... YET
They do not stick together, and I thought the battery life was pretty spiffy - but note that they're actual batteries, not a charger.Chrono212 said:
These look terrible. You buy an expensive games platfrom with terrible inputs, worse than any tablet or smart phone, to buy games like Sandwich Kingdom or whatever?
Also, what is up with this trend of sites masking ads as content. I would be really interested to know if these Cube guys paid to be in this video.

We need more Ashley, less than 2 minutes a week isn't enough, give her 5 to 10 mins at least, and more than one thing to talk about!
As for the Sifteo things, fun sounding gimmick but way overpriced, so pass.

Those cubes are a neat idea. They just cost a lot too much... I can get 32GB of RAM for that money, and those RAM sticks at least won't eat away at the little AA batteries I have that still work.
I don't really know what to think of the show thus far. On one hand, it's quite interesting, and Ashley is a good host for it, but on the other hand, it's a bit too advertisement-y and too short. Possible directions: Multiple things to show, or going more into the satirical direction and calling it more of a review. Both would make it at least a decent length (what we have now isn't all that much really - it might take a long time to make, yet little of that shows on the screen).

I can't remember if it's AA or AAA, actually...Chrono212 said:Susan Arendt said:What kind of batteries?
No, they didn't. As it says in the description for the video (and indeed for every Wishlist video) these aren't endorsements, just stuff we like.Your Gaffer said:
And now we know how to make the episodes longer, thus solving two birds with one stone *high fives.* Ashley tells us about these very important things (anyone whose had a controller die on them know's how important batterires are and how you can never find the damned things) and we get to see more of the show. Win win!Susan Arendt said:I can't remember if it's AA or AAA, actually...Chrono212 said:Susan Arendt said:What kind of batteries?
Also i noticed people on the Facebook comments were saying they didn't like the show a lot, but remember people didn't like the first couple of Jimquisition episodes either and personally i think those turned out fine
So yeah if you don;t like it yet give her time! (You picky gits )EDIT: Can i just ask how you choose what to show on the show? (if that makes sense.)
And how'd do you stop people from going: "ooh look i made a pretty box, isn't it awesome? Show it pleaseeeeeeee" (yeh i know that's a dramatisation) ?
Sorry Ashley, but you didn't tell us much about the "game" aspect of these cubes. At $129.00 we need to hear something substantial about the actual games that would make such a payout worthwhile.
"Four games pre-installed" doesn't tell us anything about the games that the system is designed for allowing people to play. "A Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game for you to chose from" isn't at all informative. "As your hero Olive progresses--" etc. What is Olive doing? Is it a maze game?
This is where a longer episode would be informative and serve the crucial need of relaying critical details about this $129.00 system which---for all intents and purposes---looks like a gimmick. And an expensive gimmick at that.

Why?
Because they didn't give enough info to get me interested enough to bother looking up more info.
I'm not interested in bickering. I said my piece and I'm moving on.
Ta.
