  The Real Way to Get Your Girlfriend Into Gaming

One of my coworkers was moderating a panel at PAX last weekend called How to get your girlfriend into gaming .  Kotaku’s summary is as follows: 1) Give your girl a game that’s tailored to her interests; don’t force her to play a game just because you like it. 2) Play co-op, not...... [view]

  Nostalgia

In the lobby of my Office, there’s an Xbox 360 with a full Rock Band setup, several retail titles, and essentially every Xbox Live Arcade game published thus far available for people to play.  Once in a while, you’ll find someone’s kids out in the lobby playing with it while...... [view]

  Calling all. This is our last cry before our eternal silence.

It’s been almost three weeks since my last post, and this is largely due to the evil that is final exams.  Or to be more precise, it’s due to the aftermath of it.  As any university student can tell you, final exams are a time where you are projected into a wasteland of caffeine...... [view]

  Don’t Touch That Dial

Post are currently lacking due to the prevailing Midterm Exams that we’re experiencing up here.  Word on the street is that it’s GDC next week.  Unfortunately, I’ll be in Cuba that week (last chance to do so before I move the USA), so I’ll be missing it until next year...... [view]

  Facebook Games

Nabeel has a good write-up about the popularity of Facebook games (not very) over on his blog.  I’ll do a post on my thoughts about Facebook games when I finish with Chris Eliasmith’s patented Neurological Engineering Assignment of Insane Difficulty (Nothing like the sweet mix...... [view]

  More Transparency

This past fall I mentioned that I was off to Microsoft to work in on Visio as a Program Manager.  I had a great time, and learned a lot from the excellent folks over there.  In fact, I liked Microsoft so much, I’ve decided to go back there full time.  At the end of June when I’m...... [view]

  In the Name of the King

Apparently Jason Statham has been busy remaking the Lord of the Rings making a Dungeon Siege movie.  This is why I can’t have a real Hitman movie?  Because you wanted to run around in the forest with elves?  Shame on you Jason.  For shame. ... [view]

  We’re Live!

And we’re back.  That wasn’t so bad. Thanks to Reed and Brandon for the site access and the support. As a side note, I’m moving all my RSS stuff into FeedBurner, so you may need to update your RSS feed.  If you don’t get any posts after this one, that’ll be...... [view]

  Gone for the Weekend

I’ve got to be in Sea-Tac Airport at 5 am tomorrow morning. I’m flying home to Toronto for American Thanksgiving, which is ironically not celebrated in Canada. As such, the likelihood that I put up any posts is remote. Perhaps I will, in a Tryptophan and Carbohydrate-induced...... [view]

  Kindle eBook reader not available in Canada

Yeah, this is off topic, but I when I’m not doing the video game thing, I’m reading books.  I read a LOT of books. And I would really, really like an e-paper based eBook reader.  So today Amazon launched their new eBook reader, the Kindle .  It’s ugly as fuck, but they...... [view]
