We’re back again! In the last podcast we forgot to talk about the Xbox Dashboard update beta that Jones is participating in. Thus, we cranked out this new podcast quickly so we could discuss these changes before the update goes live.
We also – once again – discuss how Robert Zemekis needs to ditch the motion capture and make real movies again, other things we’re tired of in movies, and of course Modern Warfare 2.
Free add for Midwest Steel – you’re welcome.
Came across these while cleaning crap off my desk. When I need to come up with a new design I usually go to the bar and doodle on paper / drink beer until I come up with something.
As you can see it’s fairly close to the final design of the PS3 Slim Laptop. More drawings after the jump!
Finally finished the prototype of the PlayStation 3 controller monitor. It is very similar to the Xbox 360 version that was first used in the development of Modern Warfare 2 and other games. Some notes:
If you feel this would be of use to your game development, please send me an email. I hope to improve this model with future versions.
Inside the controller. It uses a secondary, keyboard-like screen printed conductive ink surface (under the normal button plastic) to duplicate the buttons for the monitor display.

Hey we’re back on a sort-of-regular schedule again! (Must be all the fiber)
In this episode we discuss:
We actually rambled on for quite a while in this podcast and completely forgot to talk about the new Xbox Live update which Jones has had for a while. If possible we will try and get the next podcast done before that actually comes out so we’ll still appear timely.
I have completed a batch of Xbox 360 controller monitors. These new versions use a PCB motherboard for fast turnaround time. If you think this would be of use for your game development company, please contact me for ordering info. More pics / info below, you can also check out the Sales Page.
Hey, the first game that one of these was used for is coming out soon – Modern Warfare 2! Maybe I’ll get a special thanks in the credits, who knows?
PS3 version prototype should be done in 2-3 weeks, stay tuned for more info.
Just got back from the Infinite Bits convention – it was a great show and I was glad to join them, thanks everyone!
However, I have noticed that by flying somewhat frequently but not constantly I can see a tangible decrease in service every time. As such, I have prepared this photo montage which pretty much sums up the experience as it stands now…
