Congrats Jeff, and of course to all that helped. I'm chuffed to see that recognition will come in 'uuuuuuge great spades now.
Introducing theywereourgods.com! A website devoted to my upcoming book, They Were Our Gods, celebrating British programmers of the 80s and their games. Features blogs, news, excerpts from interviews and extras!
Sweet! Nice to see Jeff get on a big-selling platform. It's a decent excuse to buy an x-box, though I guess it's not backwards compatible. Hopefully some sweet games for it. Out by the holidays, I hear .
The thing is both Giles and I stayed up late to see if anything of it would be revealed in the MTV special (and I don't think it is, they don't give a lot away in that from what I have read about it), and we'd both just reached the conclusion that we were safe until Tuesday, and so he went to bed. I had a last look at forum, saw this thread, saw the beans being spilled by Barry himself, and thought "oopsie, I was a bit wrong there then"
And Giles has missed it, slumbering away thinking that nothing's happened!

What a huge leap forward!
You wait until you see it matey. This ain't your daddy's wibbly dots in a bit of feedback visualiser.
I'm not concerned with the visualization, but with the fact that every multimedia feature described in the XBox 360 video already exists in XBox Media Center.
...except for anything created by the master of light.
W00T! I fuckin' KNEW it (despite Yak's protests to the contrary)! I rushed here from reading 1UP's 360 preview. Soon as I saw that mentioned, I was wondering if anyone here had picked up on it.
Just changed my stance from wait-and-see to gonna-preorder-NOW!
I'm SO pleased for Yak, Giles, and anyone else involved. I'm even more pleased for me as a future 360 owner, and for everyone else getting to see some Llamasoftie goodness for the first time.
Swear to fuckin' god, if I smile any bigger, the corners of my mouth are gonna meet at the back of my head.

Excellent!
I've never even used an Xbox, but i'll get an xbox 360 for this! I think it rocks that the work of Yak and Goat will be in such an accessible and mainstream place... I often try to explain lightsynths to people..it always comes down to "ahhhhh you mean like those swirly patterns in iTunes".. and they can't see the point of being able to control the graphics yourself.. I'm sure if they could have a go on one they'd love it... (actually I haven't even used any of yak's lightsynths other than psychedelia myself yet... I Just Know )
anyway...nice work dudes. can't wait to see more...

By literally a couple of minutes!
Damn, an' all that!
Ah well - party tomorrow, then
Seriously man, so utterly happy for you, this is a major, major thing.
And I'm really glad that it's finally out of the bag - the number of people that have asked me "do you know what Jeff's working on now?" and I've had to say "Yes - but I can't tell you" was growing by the day

It is indeed... as I sit here it's slowly sinking in for me just how major. Man, I can only imagine how this must have felt for all involved while it was in the works, trying to keep it all under wraps.
