Nokia knows how to steal
atheistium | 2:25 AM on 09.04.2007 20 comments



So I was checking out UK:Resistance this morning only to see this.
[i]Like a polar bear that just lies there wanking onto its tummy all day in a zoo. As well as the REALLY BAD IDEA of bringing back N-Gage, Nokia's also decided to innovate in the online gaming world. By doing Xbox Live. By literally stealing Xbox Live off Microsoft and doing it on a phone.
The use of the term 'N-Gage Points' shows they couldn't be bothered in the slightest. We feel like congratulating them on being so blatantly tired of it all. They know it's still not going to work, so what's the point[/i]

It made me laugh, I thought it was awesome. Check out the original story and comments, I love UK:R!

P.S What is the BB code for quote? :P

I don't think you can quote in the clogs. And I suppose if they're going to steal from someone's online service, it might as well be the one company who's doing it right.

Even though I still hate the idea of the N-Gage, I think this iteration should go much more smoothly than before. This time, they're tying it the phone OS (Symbian, maybe?) instead of a single phone. That way, if you buy a Nokia phone, you're likely to be able to play the ngage games.

I had an N-gage QD. It sucked.

The problem with a gaming machine/phone is that one of the functions has to come first: either it will be a phone with games added, or a gaming machine with a phone thrown in.

Problems such as battery life (should i play another level, or make sure my phone stays alive?) will constantly plague these things.

there is no hope, I'm sorry.
