uDraw Pictionary

Tuesday, January 15th, 2013

Odds are that you know all about Pictionary, the game where you draw something, and someone else has to guess what it is. Even if you’ve never played Pictionary proper, I’m sure you’ve played (or at least heard about) something similar.

But you may not be familiar with the uDraw tablet, since practically nobody bought one… except me.

The uDraw is a tablet and a stylus, similar to something that you might get for manipulating graphics on a computer, except smaller, and cheaper (much cheaper).

The tablet itself is really good for one thing: drawing and scribbling. Hm, I guess that’s technically two things.

Regardless, here’s some footage of me and some family members playing the Ultimate edition of Pictionary.

I recommend looking away when the clues are revealed so that you can play along, but it’s certainly not mandatory.

PS3 Hard Drive Mod

If you’re just aching to get one of those lower-priced PS3s, you may be interested to know that you can use that $100 you saved to put in a crazy-big hard drive.

I’ve seen quite a few guides detailing the process, but this one over at 1up has some step-by-step pictures.

Yes. It’s a slow news day.

If Sony drops the price of the PS3, they’d sell more units.

Gamesindustry.biz has an unrelentingly positive interview with Yves Guillemot, the head banana at Ubisoft. Among other non-answers, he does throw in that he thinks that if Sony were to drop the price of the PS3, they’d sell more units.

“[Sony has] sold a machine that is actually expensive to build at the right price for consumers. It’s just that if we want more consumers, we’ll have to have a price that will make more people come in.”
