Midnight Club canceled at beleaguered Rockstar San Diego?
Source: A blog posted to game-industry news site Gamasutra.
BitterPartyOfMany also claims that Rockstar dismantled the San Diego studio’s Midnight Club team. “Please, someone explain why the profitable and very functional Midnight Club team was ripped apart, their technology thrown away (after Midnight Club Los Angeles), and everyone who wasn’t fired or quit was shoved onto a project that has been struggling for well over 4 years?” the posting states.
To the owners of Rockstar, as an avid Midnight Club gamer, if you can’t get your shit together and produce and direct another successful Midnight Club turn the project over to my team and we will split the profits.
Recently I’ve come across Readability, which can then convert my saved reading into a more readable format. Here’s how Readability works:
Again, it’s a new FREE! button that changes stuff you’re reading online into clear, simple, old-school text, getting rid of pop-up ads and annoying eyeball clutter.
Install the Readability button. Seriously it’s one step.
Actually it’s two. Once installed, you then adjust your preferences. You can choose between “newspaper”, “novel”, “ebook” and “terminal”. And change the font size and column width. Journalists will love that you can convert to a newspaper format. I read mine like this. Newspapers and magazines were designed to have the best type of font (serif) and column width (narrow enough such that your eye can flick quickly from one line to the next) to make for simple, elegant, fast reading. Just so you know.
When you’re reading something online, just press the readability bookmarklet on your toolbar and it converts the text into a far happier format. A treat for sore eyes!
Is it just the Capricorn in me, or are these really nifty?
