Things I’m Looking Forward To

There’s a wealth of media coming up that I’m looking forward to, and it feels like a joyful consolation for summer moving towards a close (though it stays summery here until mid to late October typically). In no particular order: Real Time With Bill Mahrer. It’s awesome that his first night back is tomorrow night, the [...]

Videogame Wedding

I love this. One of our environmental artists at Sparkplay got married recently and he and his girlfriend decided to create a videogame themed-wedding. They entered the outdoor wedding to the Halo theme, their cake involved Han, Leia, and Ewoks, and each table was themed after a different game, with each guest getting a unique [...]

“Barack Obama Is Ready To Be President of the United States” - Bill Clinton

I lost most of my respect for Bill Clinton quite awhile ago, but the speech he gave tonight at the Democratic National Convention, following on Hillary’s excellent speech last night, was awesome and he earned some of it back very quickly. By nature, I’m not really a “joiner.” I dislike political parties, and have major reservations [...]

Star Wars, Burgers, and MMOs

Star Wars has a long history in the MMO genre.

In 2003, of course, Star Wars: Galaxies was released and [...]

Senile or Hypocritical - You make the call

“In the 21st century, nations don’t invade other nations.” - John McCain.

From Shild:

I should preface this: He's a fanatic. HRose is a fanatic about MMOG design. Even though he has no experience and zero rationale behind most of what he says. He's just blabbering to hear himself speak. He's got zero credentials for 99% of the statements he makes and tries to pass them off like his opinion matters. But really, he's just another forum lurker poking around for whatever attention he can get from devs. He's like that dev from the WH40K studio who posted here, except he hasn't gotten a 'break' yet. Fuck, I can't remember that guys name. He's like Grunk, except he somehow became a developer. Whatever, let's just call him Shortbus.
