Xbox 360 Fanboy

Nope. Font.

I gotta respect that you're willing to stand by your typo, unabated by idle trolling =]

Not that it matters, but it isn't a typo.

font
–noun
a productive source: The book is a font of useful tips for travelers.

Never seen it used in that fashion before: I stand corrected.

(I've only ever heard "a fount of ..." etc, i.e. fountain)

Learn something new every day - Thanks X3F!

Ooohhh one full day... wow wee! What was I thinking posting in a site with a bunch of fanboys.

I have both systems so don't even bother flaming with that crap.

@ Sadistic
The point I'm making is, again, if you read you P.O.S is that MS is notorious for copying everyone or buying them out since the beginning when they bought DOS. There are a very few things they have actually done that's "innovative".

I'm done with this shit.

Please don't feed the trolls.

Thank you.

He shoulda used "fount".. as a writer, why risk the confusion?

"font" is obviously ambiguous, in particular since the other meaning has become so prevalent in age of computing

I knew about the other use of 'font' , previously, *only* because I had to look it up once. It is becoming antiquated, while 'fount' is still highly suggestive of the underlying meaning

hahahah.. more waste of time for everybody.

BTW, Boku looks awesome, my kids will love it

Um, this isn't Little Big Planet, it's an easy to use programming programming tool. Which is a lot different than a level editor.

And level editors and programming tools have been released for years. You may want to read or get out more..

Thing is this was announced several days before LBP.

Now who's copying who?

Oh really? How come it's just surfaced now? It says it's a project also. Does that mean it won't happen? Face it, MS business motto is to copy or buy out competition.

Can you give me source on when this was announced prior to LBP?

OK:

Wired Techfest Demo: Boku (Dated 6th March 2007)

"Announced on 7th March 2007"

Here you go jackass:

Little big planet was announced 7th of march, now check the date of that article.

if you did just a bit of research before shouting your mouth off you wouldn't look like such a dumbass.

While we're at it, why don't you look here as well:

Last i checked LBP was a side scrolling game, nothing like what microsoft is doing.

There's actually video of it from when it was first shown off too. It takes no time to find.

The only difference now is that the release of LBP is giving people fodder to argue about it.

I think these are very different, either way. Even the way MS talks about the purposes of Boku is different. The original idea was just to get kids into programming and they seem to be sticking with that concept.

Ooh burn.

Please don't feed the trolls.

Thank you.

Well I am unable to, that's for sure.

Not to mention that $150 is a pretty far cry from the $460 (plus tax) it would take to pick up a PS3 and LBP.
