Nerdy And Loving It

World of Warcraft:

• Read quests out loud – I absolutely love it when games speak the story and sidequests instead of showing text.  If the task of adding narration to all the quests is too daunting, then identify all the quests that are a part of the storyline and not just random collect and kill quests and have those read.
• Auction House advanced searches/filters – I want the ability to search for items by a specific stat.  i.e. only show items, within the category selected, that have a strength rating higher than x
• Mounts When in Ghost Form – everyone is used to having their 60% or 100% increase in speed when going anywhere.  It would be nice to have it when you’re running back to your corpse.

Xbox 360:

• Keyboard and Mouse Support – I know this one is a long shot, but I want keyboard and mouse support added to the Xbox 360.  If possible I would want to give developers the ability to add support to their games just like the PS3 does.  Since most developers wouldn’t utilize it, just like the PS3, I would want the console to create hardware emulation of the Xbox 360 controller and assign keyboard buttons and mouse movement/buttons to the controller buttons and sticks.
• Allow Splitfish Contoller – Splitfish makes a controller for the PS3 that gives you half of a PS3 controller in your left hand and a mouse in your right hand.  The mouse makes the two shoulder buttons be the right and left mouse buttons and R3 (right stick click in) to be the center mouse button.  The mouse portion also has the X, Square, O, and Triangle buttons on it’s side where your thumb can reach.  I love playing shooters on the PS3 with my splitfish controller and I wish I could do the same on my Xbox360.  From what I’ve read online, splitfish would love to make the Xbox360 mouse controller, but microsoft won’t let them.  My only other option is the XFPS and reconfiguring buttons every time I want to play kinda sucks.

Android:

• Fix Messages being marked unread error – I love my android G1 phone. That being said, there are a few things I find annoying.  One major one is that a lot of the time when I mark a message as read or read a message and go back to my inbox in for my spare gmail accounts in the secondary email app, messages are marked as unread. Do you know how frustrating it is to mark a message as read four or five times.
• Allow for storing apps on an sd card – I know it can be done.  It already is being done for those technologically minded enough to put custom firmware on their phone.  It’s kind of ridiculous that the phone memory and program memory are shared, so your phone moves to a crawl if you have too many apps on the phone.
• Stop Browser from auto reloading a page – Add an option to the browser to force it to stop reloading pages after they’ve been loaded once. Countless times I’ve started reading a big block of text, turned my phone off and tried to come back to it. When I get back to the article the browser thinks that it should reload the entire page since something majorly important must have changed. Internet connection speeds for T-Mobile aren’t very fast compared to my home connection. At home a page refresh is pretty quick; almost instantaneous. It’s annoying to have to wait so long to read a simple block of text on my phone.
