Did XboxPants ever receive his limited edition Ouya and extra controllers? And is he still glad that they didn't take the GameStick approach of delaying the launch for two months, and instead just lied to everyone over and over again since April?

I can only imagine the employees at Google groaning and sending the interns/work experience kids to listen to that guy yammer on about his poo poo game whenever he shows up at the place. It sucks when people get awful products validated by local media because said local media is utterly clueless. Do these guys want another MDickie to happen!?

I would never have expected to be almost angry at an article about the YOYO, but here it is. A popular French paper magazine about science and geek stuff has published half a page about it in their "new tech" pages. Among the countless bullshit found in the article: - The OUYA costs 80€ (while most Europeans are currently paying much more than 100$ due to import taxes, and I don't even think it can be purchased locally in a store here). - It was created by people who wanted to design the first "open-source" console with a free devkit, completely ignoring the countless already existing ones. - All games are free (not free to try; free). You only could have to pay for additional stuff like more levels or weapons. - It's natively a media center that can read content from other devices connected via wifi. - It can be fully reprogrammed as encouraged by the OUYA team. - It's the ideal gift for a geek I blame the utter incompetence of the journalist coupled with the flawless marketing spin initiated by Julie and her team of PR professional bullshitters. I'm pretty sure it's already the mainstream view about that console anyway and I sincerely hope that this article will further increase the ranks of the people who become instantly and severely disappointed when they first put their hands on that stupid cube.

Apart from the broad brush condemnation of a publishing industry that spans multiple countries, you could have pointed out that lifestyle magazines don't tend to retain the kind of incisive technological mind that the internet forum 'somethingawful.com' manages to effortlessly retain. But we went with 'Europe sux hu huh'. Nice work.

That alsutton geezer has shown his face on /r/Ouya, prompted by this post which pointed out that not having a recovery option flies in the face of their claims to being hackable. And he and is doing a sterling job of putting even more people off buying this crap. quote:My personal view (that's mine, not OUYAs) is that you don't NEED to be able to boot to recovery, you LIKE access to it. A number of people have managed to make their device unbootable with just root access by experimenting with things like compiling new kernels, then expect OUYA to fix them. Personally I think this is a bit unreasonable (if you started changing parts of the engine in a car and it broke down would you go back to the dealership?) Well, he's right. Recovery isn't essential, and you can't just go jabbing your Ouya with a screwdriver and then sending it in for repair. Except the KS page says: quote:Hackers welcome. Hey guys we made it easy to root, but if you actually do anything using that root access and it breaks, well, you're an idiot. Sure we could build a recovery mode so we didn't get thousands of RMAs from people who've bricked it, but you don't absolutely NEED to have that. His posts have now been deleted.

Hell, reddit's a festering pile of poo poo, but this guy's a real piece of work. I like how he's really just whining about people legitimately complaining about recovery mode and hackability on the OUYA. It's not really about reddit, it's about him skirting responsibility.
