As the title says, i need 2 more gys to fill up the team!
It's going pterry well so far but i need 2 more to fill up the gaps.
Kilokk will be your boss/senior editor, he will be the one to go to when something goes wrong.
So, who's here all the time, who can write good/nice articles?
You need to write like 2 articles a week. It's not that much work.
Let me know soon!

I might be able to, but I write and post primarily from an iPod.... I could try I guess... How long do the articles need to be? If need be I can crack out my netbook and do it on that. And what sort of media news etc are we posting about? Is modding news, console news, or what?

Sony files Patent on "Universal Controller"
Creators of the Playstation and rulers of a vast technology empire, Sony has recently filed a patent containing details of a "Universal" Controller for video game consoles.
The patent notes state:
"A game console controller includes a hand-holdable housing and a touch sensitive liquid crystal display (LCD) on the housing. The LCD is caused to present, depending on what type of game console a user has selected, a controller key layout for a first type of game console or a controller key layout for a second type of game console. A key layout includes plural keys selectable by a user to input commands to a game console."
This seems to be the first attempt by a games company to create such a device. Think of the prospects. It means a user only needs one controller for his/her plethora of gaming devices, which could save considerable amounts of money.
However, there is obvious limitations to the multi-touch method of control. The controller is more fragile than ever before, and a once $40 controller cound be $80 or more.
Myself, I could never see this method of control working for the seasoned and professional gamer - there seems no alternative to a solid, comfortable controller. However, for Amateur and Novice gamers, I feel there could be a good market for this product.
Would you buy one? Leave your thoughts.

I've been wide eyed when it's come to smartphones. I have an obscene amount of time on the PC, lurk the site every day, and certainly want to (again) give back to the site. I may not mod much, but I certainly am a tech head.
To add to it, I also know my ways around cameras, and what to look for. That could be useful, seeing as people DO need a camera to show off their fine workmanship.
Also, The Game.
