Singapore diaries, part the fourth [Mowgli]
S'pore Greetings!
I was walking through the airport window shopping and killing time, and I remembered again how much I hate the way companies name their products these days. I mean, I guess Apple has the right to stick a lowercase 'i' in front of everything they sell, but I still don't like it. When other people do it though it's evidence of the complete absence of thought that goes into naming products. I passed a store that sold iDesire, iPamper, and some other fucking iCrap product just after getting off the plane, and now I'm typing this up in the iConnect free internet lounge. I just hope this stops being trendy before the killing starts.
Apple may have realized that slapping an i in front of a title is a dying trend, but they have a new and equally annoying plan in store for us. It doesn't work for everything, but if it's got a two word title, you're golden. Take Apple's new music mastering software for garage bands. I bet it took a fucking Ph.D. in advertising theory to coin the title GarageBand. I mean, I went to school with business students, so I don't have any really unrealistic expectations, but this is fucking pathetic.
They've changed the xbox games around a little. I played a few with one of the guys who works at the airport, mostly tekken tag. I couldn't play the soccer game he liked, and he didn't know soulcal 2 or halo 2, so tekken was the compromise.
My internet is on a timer, so here's the wrap up. Look for another blog post in the near future, from here or after I get home.

WTF they don't have TTT for XBOX...
Oh yeah...LOL the "i" craze is just like the X and EXTREME craze a few years back...that sadly is still some what around...that and "e" everything...
Turns out it was doa 3, I'd just assumed it was a TT I hadn't seen before since it had a Namco-esque look to it and juggle combos.
Calling DOA3 a fighting game is blasphemy...
