Thank you =D
Loved it! Nice to see mort gettin' some love.
Thanks. I keep mentioning Baller, PhD and GoFreak and a few others as having been critical to this taking off but that keeps not making their final pieces. I'm really not trying to attention whore here, I promise
I think a lot of us saw this slowdown with the twitter stuff coming which is why I figured it made more snese to incorporate it into our plan than fight against it and get frustrated by it. Things may be quiet this weekend and early next week, but hopefully we can get another push going on wednesday. We still need to work out a time to start it... and then disseminate some of the good info on how twitter tracks things in the OP by Mori. Not cut and pasting the same tweet seems to be big as twitter tends not to count duplicate tweets from multiple accounts all that often. Stuff like that. Maybe we can make it to trending topics in the US or UK... maybe not. But we will try
New article on a big games site in israel.
Its in hebrew.

They mention GAF and also FamousMortimer as an industry insider
We going to talk to the guys who own the PS4NoDRM twitter accounts?
#PS4noDRM ‏@VirtuaMe has 3387 followers
and
SONY 2013 ‏ @PS4NoDRM has 272 followers
clue them into what's happening on the 5th?
Do you think it would be a good idea to split up the press coverage section into two parts on the 5th? I'm thinking Phase 1 and Phase 2 coverage.
If we don't get good coverage for Phase 2 this could backfire perhaps - but we still could merge them again if this happens...
has anyone mentioned kotaku,s new article about sony ps4 silence on DRM issue ?
seems a tad alarming
but like we have said many times surely after them outright stating not online only they cant go back on that
It's not surprising, I expect nothing new from sony before e3

Again. Another reason it would be ideal to expand the focus, and strike while the hammer is still hot (ie, don't wait until the console is on store shelves so you can 'vote with your wallet'. Make those voices heard NOW. Make it clear that it's not okay for anyone to have that kind of restrictive DRM, not just Sony.)

Not all of us are. I don't often post here (I prefer to eavesdrop) but I've been a bit miffed by the thoughts of other journalists and I felt like chiming in.
We were talking about GAF's reaction on today's GameSpot GamePlay podcast where I think Tom McShea made some salient points: http://www.gamespot.com/features/gamespot-gameplay-episode-42-put-some-pants-on-6408764/
As for myself, I've worked in a variety of game stores before joining GameSpot and I fundamentally disagree with the language MS are using in relation to this. I'm under no illusions that an all digital future is ahead of us but I think they're misunderstanding the benefits of used games pricing for a massive amount of their consumers. The used games market is beneficial to the health of console sales, and many consumers buy new because trading is an option. If you fancy watching, I posted some of my thoughts here:

Why should console ever be all digital and no physical copies?
It's good for the environment?

I love you.Soooo here's what I wrote for the tumblr thing... it might not be the issue most people are concerned about, but it falls under DRM for me - and yes I'm aware that I skipped the verses on the plane...
"Now, this is a story all about how my internet just keeps going down. And I'd like to take a minute, just sit right there, I'll tell you all about how I think "always-on" isn't fair.
In the City of London, near anyways, our internet seems to get a lot of undue praise. "Reliable, fast, and quite affordable too" - believe any of this then I call you a fool. I tell ya' man, our infrastructure ain't no good, causing loads of trouble in my neighbourhood. I make calls to BT but they just don't care, they say "I'm sorry Sir, that's the best line you can get over there".
I worry for the day, and it does seem near, for when we need to connect lest our games disappear. Not to mention that these games we might want to share, but they thought "Nah forget it - put clouds in the air!"
I don't think this is good, and it's not too late, to shout back in their faces "Yo homes smell ya later".
I look at this future,
and I really do care,
but "always online" really shouldn't be there."
Because powering server farms with hundreds of thousands of servers has no environmental impact?
I was joking.
Though it is an interesting question to consider which one is more harmful to the environment. It "feels" like factories making discs is probably worse per unit sold.
That's awesome.

That's one of the worst NeoGAF first posts in the forums history.
Someone contact NeoGAF shitposts on twitter.
