METAL GEAR SOLID 4: FRANKIE COMPLAINS ABOUT BLOGS STEALING...

di Frankie (03/02/2008 - 14:09)


WTF: I'm on N4G with the most popular story of this weekend?!
Of course no, a user ripped my news just after I digged it...


I make this blog for fun and I actually I started it just for an article I'm writing about memetics applied to the blogosphere.
Yesterday I posted the news about Kojima complaining about the capacity of BD and I    digged it  (I got first time stamp) then...  other blog like this, this, this and some others sites took my news and repost without any credit...

But maybe it's just me and of course all these bloggers read Japanese and browse "famous" Japanese blogs like Hatimaki hunting for news... anyway the editor of   Playstation Beyond even credited the original blog for making the interview and he (like N4G site) also reposted the one year old Xbox360 18 discs box set prank)! Funny that no one understood that the Japanese title in the scan  reads clearly that  this interview comes from the Japanese magazine Weekly Famitsu that in these weeks is celebrating the 1000th issue  released (I didn't point this in the post since I tough it was pretty obvious...)!
At the end memes spread with or without proper credits! This is good!

Haruhi su PS2

di Frankie (06/28/2007 - 11:59)


MOE Scoop!!!
La Haruhi mania contagia anche le console Sony e, dopo l'annuncio della versione PSP, sulla rivista Famitsu sono apparse anche le prime immagini della versione PS2 che verrà intitolata Suzumiya Haruhi no tomado e sarà disponibile a gennaio 2008. Nel gioco si impersona  Kyon che tenterà di realizzare un videogioco insieme agli altri membri dell' SOS dan e il gioco creato sarà realmente giocabile!!
Chi non riesce a resistere, può tranquillamente acquistare uno dei tanti videogiochi doujin ispirati a questa incredibile serie animata.
