I see so many deprecating and melodramatic comments from people who really just don't understand what this device is about. The games already lined up for this thing are going to be a big hit. People somehow think Android as the OS means "just like the games found on your phone". They are oh so terribly mistaken. Android is a very flexible and very powerful Linux-based OS and it is capable of so much more than just being a phone OS. You can run a laptop or PC off of Android and get full-screen 1080p video.

And this is not just about emulators and classic games either, but those emulators are a great added plus. With a DOSBox emulator, you can make the Ouya run just about any PC-based game. Since the thing has both Bluetooth and USB, you can possibly configure it to use a wireless Android keyboard and mouse set, if those are needed for your game play.

I can't wait to play Shadowrun Online and Double Fine Adventure, both of which are way too complex and way graphical to be played on most mobile phones. They are both coming out first on the Ouya exclusively. There are 500 other titles out there already in the works. They are part of the whole reason this thing uses a powerful Tegra 3 GPU and not some piss poor 128-bit card.

isn't veronica mars that childrens cartoon with the redhead who is a spy or something? why are adults contributing to this

from what I understand it has a buffy-like adult following, only smaller. something having to do with Production Values and the lead chick is also in gossip girl and the director has some cult of personality thing going on. I think. All I know is she was talking about it all day

also "mail bag repair technician" or "license plate engineer" are more marketable skills than "indie game designer"
