Spec Ops: The Line isn't perfect and the story's as coherent as a Lindelof script, but I enjoyed it more than any shooter in recent memory.

# 2012-06-26 18:00:43 – via Twitter

If the original Star Wars trilogy had ended like Mass Effect did

Sorry to beat a dead horse, but the release of the Extended Cut revived online discussions a bit, so I only just thought of this analogy and I want to write it down somewhere. (Vague spoilers if you haven’t seen Return of the Jedi and played Mass Effect 3.)

The scene takes place on Endor. The scooby gang has just been captured by Ewoks, C3P0 is their god and is playing the role of his life: translator, and also god.

C3PO

They say they’ve been waiting for us. They’ve been watching us all along and waiting for us to get here. They say they control the midichlorians.

LUKE

The… what?

C3PO

They say the Force is the power of midichlorians. They are inside you. The more you use the Force, the more the midichlorians control you. And the Ewoks control the midichlorians because they’re the spirits of their ancestors.

LUKE

Uh… okay.

C3PO

And they say they’ve been waiting for the last jedi to come here so they could ask him what he wants to do with that power. They can keep doing what they were doing, or they can relinquish control to you and you’ll have to stay here forever, or they can send all the midichlorians in the universe to Ewok Heaven, and all jedi will die. It’s up to you.

(beat)

You need to choose NOW.

LUKE

I… I don’t know… I guess… I don’t want to have control over them, I don’t want to have control over the Emperor and the empire and my father and… really, nobody should have this control. Yeah, nobody should have such a power, so release the miniclaws or whatever.

LUKE, LEIA and HAN SOLO all look at each other with TEARS in their eyes, or the closest approximation in HAN SOLO’s case. R2D2 WHISTLES MOURNFULLY.

C3PO

It is done.

C3PO’s eyes FADE OUT and he SLUMPS ON HIS THRONE because he had MIDICHLORIANS in his system ever since ANAKIN made him. LUKE, LEIA and HAN SOLO are OFF-SCREEN; we HEAR LEIA CRY OUT.

DISSOLVE TO: DEATH STAR, EMPEROR’S OFFICE

The EMPEROR DISAPPEARS, his CLOAK FALLS TO THE GROUND. Behind him, DARTH VADOR straightens up, then suddenly FALLS TO THE GROUND.

DISSOLVE TO: SPACE

The DEATH STAR EXPLODES.

TITLE CARD: THE END.

“Facebook forces all users over to @facebook.com e-mail addresses”

As of Friday, the company seems to have quietly given or replaced the display e-mail addresses of all of its users [on their profiles] with an @facebook.com address.

I thought, who cares? until I read this comment on Reddit:

Where I see this hurting most users is from automatic phone syncs of contacts. Running through my phone, I see all these @facebook email addresses now.

Remember what’s coming this summer? iOS 6, and automatic Facebook contact sync for everyone (I’m under the impression that it’s an option — haven’t installed the beta myself, but I read something to that effect on Twitter — but you can be sure that most people will enable it, because why wouldn’t they? it beats manually entering the info). It’s not like people use e-mail much these days, but it’s still definitely going to make a noticeable difference in usage, and it is a hijacking of people’s email accounts.

So, yeah, I’m moving this from “benign” to “evil.”

And, as a bonus:

Isn’t it funny how this privacy control doesn’t exist anywhere else in the profile settings, and its title (“Shown on Timeline” / “Hidden from Timeline”) doesn’t make any sense for what it actually does, and it can end up completely contradicting the regular privacy control that’s on its left (oddly enough, at Facebook’s benefit)? Even for Facebook, that’s oddly inefficient and obtuse UI, isn’t it?

“Hacking Paid Upgrades in the App Store”

I’ve heard from many people who think that this isn’t possible. That once you pull an app from the store you must essentially abandon it. That is simply not true.

So long as you don’t actually delete the old version of the app within iTunes Connect you can continue submitting updates to apps even while they are in the Developer Removed from Sale state. Whether this is intentional functionality is unclear but I have verified that it does in fact work and the resulting approved updates are available for customers.

Interesting. I assume that "available for customers" means the update won’t be pushed to their devices and they have to use the purchases list to download it “again,” but that’s still better than nothing.

Garoo elsewhere, on iOS 6’s lost Maps functionality:

iOS 6 makes it pretty obvious, I think, that Apple has wanted to have turn-by-turn directions on the iPhone for a while, but couldn’t as long as they were using Google. And I would be surprised if Google hadn’t been asking for more and more money — or more and more ad impressions — with each iOS release. (Remember that Reddit post about Maps giving sponsored directions to another fast-food place than what the user asked for, even though it was twice as far? That’s definitely not Apple’s idea.)

I don’t think iOS 6 is Apple getting rid of Google out of pettiness; I’m certain they switched to a new data source in order to offer more functionality, and at the cost of removing less important functionality that TomTom can’t provide. (Turn-by-turn is much more important to the iPhone than transit maps — transit info will be available in free or cheap third-party apps, but turn-by-turn was an expensive App Store purchase and as a third-party app it couldn’t be integrated with Siri. Voice-operated turn-by-turn, included with the phone, is going to be a huge factor for many people hesitating between iPhone and Android.)

I like that Mad Men has been setting up that nasty practical joke, with the button, in every episode since the introduction of Jaguar.

Didn't expect to write this today, but Zombi U seems to use the gimmickpad in interesting ways that might even be fun. Looks well designed.

SmartGlass is a great product name that would deserve a better, more important use than just "control your Xbox from your iPad."

Watch Dogs surprised me with good writing, but The Last of Us convinces me on the more important gameplay and atmosphere aspects. Winner of the day — and that's coming from someone who hates playing the Uncharted games.

I was gonna snark that Assassin's Creed never needed a galleon simulator but, you know what, it looks well done enough to be worth adding.

Parmi les choses que je n'arrive jamais à retenir et qui me surprennent à chaque fois : "dépecer" ne signifie pas "to skin."

Surprisingly — after the horribly protracted introduction — I'm quite impressed with the dialogue in Watch Dogs. And, well, the rest, too.

The Zombi U trailer is really well done; pity it demonstrates a complete lack of awareness of Dead Island's actual reception.

Though the Wii U-killer is interesting. It'll be fun if it actually gets people to buy iPads for their Microsoft console.

I think I have caught up with everything I missed during the Microsoft conference, and Halo 4 is the only game I'm vaguely interested in.

Diablo 3 installer keeps failing on my crappy connection and isn't even capable of resuming. Fuck Blizzard; sorry I used up a guest pass.

# 2012-06-04 17:15:11 – via Twitter

Installing Diablo 3: of course it saturates my connection, but it also taunts me with a grayed-out "Downloader Preferences" menu option. Fu.

Hiragana Pixel Party for iOS

This is exactly the kind of kana-teaching app / game I've always been looking for. Seems well thought-out all around, and it's free(mium). It's just a pity that I'm not very good at rhythm games.

Looks like the only way to stop Latitude is to remove all the contacts I have in it. (Won't be too hard, I have five.)

# 2012-06-02 17:32:08 – via Twitter

I haven't used Google Latitude in months and I'm still getting "X accepted your friend request" emails about already existing contacts.

My workflow being to quickly skim through Reader, adding to a read-later service anything of remote interest, I must've missed a lot lately.

# 2012-06-02 05:02:06 – via Twitter

Okay, it wasn't just an impression, there are indeed links I added to Pocket that never made it to my reading list. Damnit.

Not to be a conservative old fart, but the Tomb Raider: The Hunger Games, trailer makes me completely lose interest in that reboot.

What is it with everyone on The Killing using cheap clamshell phones? Is it a Seattle thing?

# 2012-06-01 03:43:03 – via Twitter

The AV Club was right that season two of The Killing is much more watchable, but they seem to be stuck with the stupid twists plotted out from the start.
