Talk:Bleem!

Untitled
This was my first edit, hope I haven't messed anything up too bad :D I removed this phrase: bleem! was an indie hit since it took on Sony, "the man", and many people bought the product just to spite Sony. There was no source provided and it looks more of an opinion then a fact.

I commented out this paragraph because it seems to be very POV:


 * Bleem! made a better use of PC's 3D graphics Hardware compared to the other emulators, making Playstation games looks as twice as good. Bleem! can play it in a higher resolution and filter the textures. This was a great advantage of bleem! over other emulators, where ugly-but-stable software rendering was more preferable.

There was no reason to edit that out completely: this was a marketing slogan put on the box itself (with some random, CG screenshot comparison of a giant Robot with a red beam).
 * That is why it should be commented out. Encyclopedias should not recite marketing slogans.  Obviously, those represent the manufacturer's POV.

can someone add what the hell bleem meant?
 * Even the developers didn't know. Once upon a time, they said they were going to run a contest of some sort to figure it out. Of course it never happened.

So many topics about this company can be made.
Their marketing for example, it was quite fascinating at the end. It always had some anti-Sony theme to it, just watch the BleemCast! Metal gear Solid trailer.

Or the PC Bleem! issues, like David's own rant about why it was stopped.

Or the initial e-mail they sent on the internet to numerous emulation news sites in '98.

So many topics, and that is just scratching the surface. EMU-LMAO (talk) 23:15, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Are there any resources for them? I'd be very interested in reading them. Whitereflection (talk) 22:27, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Well of course, my very own website has way to many of these items archived as part of the material. Not my fault that in the weird roundabout way that this world works with the irony, that I suddenly have content that people ignored as important during the very time period. This is also why I cannot add this content/summary to such a article with such a site as this, apparently I would be in to biased a position.

I`m not even going to give you my website address as a result either. More roundabout irony. --EMU-LMAO (talk) 00:18, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

Errors.
1. According to the BleemCast E3 Press release in May 2000, they launched Bleem! in May 1999, not March of 1999. Do you believe an official company press release or some unknown source?

Selling over 250,000 units at that time.

2. Calling it by "the Bleem company" is a rather blanket term. The Bleem! company was initially called Bleem LLC., then becoming Bleem Inc. sometime in 2000. Early Bleem Demos and their archived website content shows this change in business strategy. --EMU-LMAO (talk) 00:12, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

The other website to/of "Bleem!".
--- What about Bleem!'s other/restored website, "Bleem Park" (like the show, South Park)? Can we put that up on the article? (http://bleempark.emuunlim.com) {--2001:558:6032:0:2953:8DFE:E48F:DE8F (talk) 00:38, 1 March 2015 (UTC)--}
