Portal Still Alive Will Include New Puzzles, But No New Plot (37)
on Kotaku (3120) permalinkSpeaking with Valve's Doug Lombardi earlier this week at E3, we got onto the topic of the upcoming Xbox Live Arcade version of Portal.

Identi.ca implements the Twitter API (27)
on Scripting News (435) permalinkYesterday I got an email from Evan Prodromou at identi.ca saying that they had implemented the Twitter API; he asked if I would test my apps against their implementation. I did, and I'm happy to report that I was able to run all my code, unmodified, except for substituting identi.ca/api where ever twitter.com appears in an address. That's what I call compatible!

on Destructoid (277) permalinkAs I was watching Colette and Dale play Square-Enix's Infinite Undiscovery on the E3 show floor, I literally backed up and bumped into Chrono Trigger DS. "Oh, look, it's Chrono Trigger DS!" I exclaimed as I quickly pulled out the stylus from the DS display and began to play. "I'm so excited!"Unfortunately, it is kind of hard to play an epic RPG at an industry show -- since the genre is almost impossible to just ...Shared by Dennis Laumen (87) Michael Narciso (30)Contribute comment
