While I was at PAX Prime 2011 in Seattle, I discovered a game developer known as Chromed. Most booths at gaming conventions are places where the company allows gamers to play, but this booth was a giant greenscreen cube.
The reason why is because they were using the attendees at PAX to be extras in their game, March 32nd. The game is planned to be a combination of a contemporary noir story in 12 episodes, and it is completely interactive.
Apparently, every character in March 32nd is nothing more than silhouettes of different colors.
Back in the last quarter of 2010, Motorola Mobility predicted a rocky road for future business, and its Q2 earnings seem to be right on track. The company reported total net revenues of $3.3 billion in the second quarter, up 28 percent year-over-year, but saw a net loss of $56 million, compared to earnings of $80 million in the second quarter of 2010. Mobile Devices saw an operating loss of $85 million, compared to the previous year’s earnings of $87 million. Moto’s not all doom and gloom however, as it predicts profitability in mobile devices by Q4.
