Which way…
My good friend Allen had the good fortune to have his really old, really demented flash game linked from both Kotaku and Game|Life. It’s a lot like the old Choose Your Own Adventure books of days past, except here you’re … Continue reading

Mentioned in this 1up article on Gamefest 2006 is Microsoft’s wish for microtransactions in XBox Live. One bit intrigues me: Another thing Microsoft intends to add to the Marketplace is the ability for vendors placed in videogames to allow gamers … Continue reading

There’s an interesting column in Esquire about the lack of video game critics in the industry. Note there is a big difference between a game reviewer and a game critic here. A reviewer simply tells how well the game looks, … Continue reading

Check out this awesome piece of artwork. Take equal parts of 2d fighters of yesteryear and pop culture (“You’re entering a world of pain!”), throw in tons of nasty gore, and a little bit of nudity (also nasty) and you … Continue reading

As this site is graciously hosted by ibiblio, a huge online library of free information (including software, music, art, literature… a lot of free stuff), I should probably talk about something free once in a while. So here’s something cool: … Continue reading

Murder simulators…

boss hog (or how I learned to stop worrying and steal from myself)…
I’m posting another comment I made after a Joystiq post – “Death to Bosses”. The post was rant about how bad bosses are for games, how they kill gameplay, artificially lengthen games, etc. While I didn’t disagree entirely, I felt … Continue reading

Going through some old stuff I realized I still had my Jeopardy-like game. I made it for a short job I had at UNC. I’m actually a little surprised by how much I knew back then (2001); pre-Flash MX even. … Continue reading
