I like their slogan: "Free the games". I hope that box has a tiny speaker built it that continually plays sad violin music while tiny voices shout "Free us! Free us!". And I just noticed the other pictures dear god are they serious? "And so begins the revolution"? This can't get any more stupid unless the BOO-URNSYA comes with a Che Guevara t-shirt.

Oh my god, the Amazon page is just a treasure trove of smug. OBANGA's Amazon Page posted:OUYA... lovingly made by a team of gamers who believe that console games will never die. Because; as we all know; console gaming has been in it's death throws for years. Also this: CHIMICHANGA marketing drivel posted:OUYA is about the size of a Rubik’s cube, but it plays hard in full-screen HD. It uses an nVIDIA quad-core CPU and outputs via HDMI at up to a stunning 1080p resolution. It powers on instantly.

Was there ever any explanation given for what on earth possessed them to name their revolutionary product "OUYA". Did they just throw together four letters at random and just go "oh that kinda sounds like oh yeah said weirdly"? Or is there some lovely marketing speak justification, because those are always fun to read at the best of times.

OUYA is the sound you make when you play hard. Like you are benching the concept of gaming itself. OUYA

At first I thought they were trying to get the face buttons to line up as well as they could with existing gamepads, while still having enough plausible deniability to say they weren't copying. You know, Y and A from the xbox controller, and circle, and I guess the U looks kind of like a square from the playstation side. And then they went and arranged the buttons so they didn't even match up anyway, which was kind of  .e: Also I'm way late on this, but "TV exclusive" sounds like what you'd call a movie that was too bad to actually show in a cinema anywhere and so you just put it in the no-one-actually-watches-this 2am timeslot on one of the movie channels or something.

Companies exist to make money. My blog has pictures of home-made cottage cheese and coffee on it; How could a kick-starter ever betray me???? See the thing is he's right, he got screwed; but he got screwed because he did something stupid (that being giving money to a complete stranger for an unfinished product)- and now he's stuck arguing with people (who I imagine to wear funny hats) on his blog about it.

Okay, I guess I was technically wrong. GUESS I'LL HAVE TO GO BACK AND EDIT THAT OUT. Did I do that right? I do think it's adorable that you apparently keep a spreadsheet of every negative thing someone might have said so you can go all  on them later. I guess that makes my wrong score 1, and yours like seven billion.Does it still count as a controller if it barely corresponds to what's on screen and crumbles in your hands when you try to use it, though? raditts fucked around with this message at 15:32 on Mar 30, 2013 |

If you've spent months claiming the product won't include an item, you should be able to own up to being completely and utterly wrong - in fact, more wrong on that particular point than XboxPants that you spent the entire thread mocking. Just seems weird to see people post their predictions with a sort of smug certainty for months and months, and when it turns out they were wrong, just completely ignore it or try to turn it around on the other person as "nitpicky"

I didn't spend months claiming that, it's something I said once like 5 months ago. I didn't even remember writing it, honestly. And I don't have much of a problem saying I was wrong about it since I don't really give that much of a poo poo. I mean the controllers are reportedly hot garbage and barely work, but they are shipping with the thing so I guess he's got me there. raditts fucked around with this message at 16:02 on Mar 30, 2013 |

My respect for games journalism has reached an all time low. Despite the incredible amount of articles documenting the poor games selection, the tepid launch and the awful controller/input lag most outlets seem content remarking on the party they probably got free drinks to attend. Is there any magazine, website or blog out they willing to slaughter the sacred cow and give the ouya the article it deserves? Dang dudes literally the only thing I need you all for is telling me whether or not something is worth buying and you are all really letting me down

I'm watching a UI software tour that someone just uploaded here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C2KZcc-XzWc The dev unit controllers apparently don't pair to the retail console. Nice extra kick to the nads of developers who paid $800 for a horrible prototype release.

I would expect more bashing because a hugely negative article would be fantastic linkbait. I think that the reason is just that game journalists are the type to love an underdog story, no matter how dumb.

Game trailer where the player dies to a stationary object a minute in. Two Zelda references. Weird perspective that crams the ship 2/3 the way up the screen. Dumb voice clip when the boss appears.

It's just the pandering style of journalism where you publish lots of softball articles about anything that has a lot of hype surrounding it but not a lot of solid information. Kids and manchildren generally don't like being told there's no santa (the 8.8/10 incident comes to mind) so the articles wind up overly optimistic just so the fanbase doesn't get pissed off.
