At his GCDC lecture, Silicon Knights' Denis Dyack presented his case that with an unsustainable current business model, a 'one console future' was not just possible, but probable as early as the 'next round of hardware' -- describing how the shift would be good for both creators and consumers.
In today's monopolistic model, three proprietary hardware manufacturers have gone in three different directions: the PS3 with its Cell processor, the Xbox 360 with its 3 CPUs and Xbox Live, and the Wii, with its 'socialized interface hardware.'
Making full use of Pivotal's new Puncture Technology, Conflict: Denied Ops features a highly destructible environment, allowing players to utilize new tactics such as shooting through walls to create sniping holes or blasting open new paths to take the enemy by surprise.
Honestly, what kind of a website would BWE be if we didn't make sure to immediately update our readers whenever Joy Behar talked at length about the trials and tribulations of doctors dealing with her vagina? A happier one, you say? Hmmm...

The sole purpose of any TV advertising campaign is to tempt potential consumers into purchasing any given product. Videogames being what they are ? an influential form of interactive entertainment ? they require a certain punchy, cutting-edge, and often daring promotional approach to capture their target audience.
Furthermore, to set videogame ads apart from more traditional advertising, they also tend to employ boundary pushing, shock tactics, and morally debateable content delivery in order to gain gamer attention. But what happens if said tactics are taken that little bit too far?
GamerSquad presents a selection of the five most controversial videogame-related television adverts of recent times.

Craig Robinson, who plays warehouse foreman Darryl Philbin on The Office, will appear in a new Web series for MSN starting August 15.
The series, called Mr. Robinson's Driving School, is heavily financed by Volvo, and unfortunately, there's not much information about what the actual series will be about, other than Robinson trying "to prove he's the best driving instructor in town." Oh, and he drives the new C30 four-seat hatchback from Volvo, natch. Volvo, however, reassures Web audiences that the company did not interfere with the plot or the story, whatever the hell that might be.

Madden Producer writes in IGN blog:
Hello again fellow Madden fans, I'm back with a new blog installment this week, and I really wanted this week to focus on a few of the smaller features that rarely get mentioned by the press. This is just a fraction of some of the new gameplay improvements we've made for Madden NFL 08, but it's also the stuff that will likely never make the back of the box. I really like that this blog gives me the chance to let the community know about some of these things that you might never have known about until you saw it in your game at home.

"
You Don't Know Dick": A very quick fun fact about Dick Cheney to help you decide what to get him for Christmas... He wants a silver deathbox. And I can't believe I'm half-defending Cheney, but, in all fairness, he didn't actually say, "Damn, I need one of those"... He said he
thought it. That's a fairly significant difference.
"Indecision v. 2.008: Food Edition": Presidential candidates have been using teh interwebz to share their stories from the campaign trail. I'm not gonna lie, this segment made me really, really hungry. Although, that bit about John Edwards and his wife celebrating their 30th anniversary
at a Wendy's left me more confused than peckish. Yeah, you're a normal all-American guy, Edwards, we get it. A normal all-American millionaire Senator guy.

"Usually the terms "enthusiast cooling equipment" and "sexy, sexy" don't go hand in hand, but Thermaltake has here an exception that proves the rule. This here V1 CPU, which retails for $60, can handle a nice assortment of Core 2 and Athlon processors, but we'd rather just set it up on a table somewhere and stare at the pretty lights. That's a red dot design award well earned."

But Disney CEO Bob Iger today issues a dramatic apology and promise to Congress about depicting smoking in Disney-breanded movies.

While RAM is the less obvious overclocking candidate, as many people still consider it a matter of how much rather than how fast. Well, you can have the largest-capacity stomach in the world, but if your bowels can't clear the contents of it quickly enough you'll still hit nasty overflow problems.
Jazzed perhaps by a successful showing at last week's E3 Media and Business Summit, as well as continued strong sales of his Wii video game console, Satoru Iwata, president of Nintendo, said Thursday he believes the console could touch the stratosphere and top the PlayStation 2 in sales. The PS2's over 100 million sales since its release in 2000 was an "extraordinary number" that the Wii has not yet reached, said Iwata.
The Google Elections Video Search gadget uses speech recognition to transcribed and index speeches by politicians and others.
For Playstation 3 sixaxis controllers. This mod allows you to touch one button and the controller acts as if you are rapidly tapping the R1 button. This works for almost any first person shooter that uses R1 for firing. This mod will allow you to fire a weapon as fast as the game will allow. So fast it is like pressing R1 12 times per second.
16 players will battle online at a time on all three systems (no cross-system play, even on Xbox Live and Windows Live), and developer Saber Interactive promises tons of rewards / achievements on online mode to entice as many players as possible. One cool aspect of the multiplayer is that there are a slew of sliders to add to the game, so you can switch on Spawn Protection or redo the game's definition of gravity to customize gameplay to you and your friends' liking.
Paul Denett, administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, said driving government contracts to veteran-owned small businesses is one of his priorities and should be a priority of agencies as well.
Denett urged agencies in a July 10 memo to review their information technology requirements and check the General Services Administration’s Veterans Technology Services Governmentwide Acquisition Contract for available services.
“The success of the VETS GWAC depends on strong agency participation,” he wrote in the memo to chief acquisition officers and senior procurement executives. “Increasing opportunities for our service-disabled veterans is a top priority, and I ask you to seriously consider using the VETS GWAC to support this effort.”
Some firms on other small-business GWACs, particularly the Streamlined Technology Acquisition Resources for Services contract, are struggling to stay in the government market. Of the 416 firms on the GWAC, 197 did not have their option years renewed because they failed to reach a $100,000 sales threshold during the contract’s three-year base period, GSA officials have said...
