Haven’t posted here for a while. I’ve registered for the 2008 Dream Build Play competition, where they give you three and a half months to make a game for the Xbox 360 using XNA. I have two buddies who will help me, but I’ll need to find someone for the 3D art/animation and someone for [...]

Assassin’s Creed: My Thoughts
I finally finished Assassin’s Creed a few days ago after not having played it for months, and I have to say I greatly enjoyed it. Genetic memories may not be good science, but who cares? It’s an alternate universe anyway–you have to suspend disbelief in exactly the same way for even wackier things in movies [...]
Quoth the Raven, “404.”
From the forums at Champions-Online.com, Black_Pagoda ran across their awesome 404 page. Check it out.
Wholly Crap
Been a while since I posted here, huh? Hmm. : / Well, an update on what I’ve been doing: I am starting work on a video game version of Stardust (you may recall that Stardust is the working title of my board game side project—or you may not), using XNA Game Studio 2.0, which I [...]
Some thoughts on the Kindgom Under Fire: Circle of Doom demo
I played through the demo for Kingom Under Fire: Circle of Doom (KUF:Call of Duty, or KUF:CoD, or, KUF) last night. Well, I think I played through most of it… I did the forest area you start in until the boss you can’t fight, but I noticed the option to travel to different areas and never took [...]
Happy Holidays
So I haven’t been writing here for a while. Over a week, I guess, looking at the calendar on the sidebar.
Mass Effect
I just got The Orange Box, but I haven’t played it yet. I keep reading things on the internet and hearing things people tell me that make me want to start it, but every time I actually sit down to play it, I find I feel like playing Mass Effect instead. I’m really enjoying Mass Effect.
Assassin’s Creed
So I read about how Assassin’s Creed has been getting some bad reviews. I just picked up my preordered limited edition copy today, and I haven’t played much of it, but so far I think it is pretty fun and very impressive. The production values are amazing. But I’m not really posting here to talk [...]
The world is a very silly place.
This is what sports should be like. Remember making all those jokes about full-contact chess? Well the joke’s on you1, now! What’s next, Go Wrestling? Seriously, though, pretty interesting for the fact that it encourages people to improve more than one aspect of themselves.
To developers: please delay the release of your awesome game.
Well, after reading this, Call of Duty 4 has now been added to my Christmas list as well. There are so many good games coming out, it’s a little daunting and worrisome. When will I have the time to enjoy them all?
I want to want a PS3.
I’ve really enjoyed my PS2; I have a good number of games for it. And I was looking forward to the PS3.
Halo 3 Shenanigans
I’ve been having some fun with the Forge on Halo 3. Unfortunately, though, there’s no support for matchmaking with custom games and maps (yet), which means I haven’t been able to really playtest the stuff I’ve made (I don’t have a full friends list and I usually end up playing when they’re not on). If you have Halo [...]
Halo 3
So I got it. I’m really enjoying it (so far I’ve finished I think the seventh or eighth mission, and got to play online with friends on Saturday). The graphics are impressive, and I enjoy the variety of weapons. I like the music. The faces of the characters don’t really match the fidelity of the [...]
Metaplace Announced
Raph Koster and Areae have just unveiled their big project, Metaplace. It sounds really exciting; I hope the targeted ads are not too obtrusive, and I very much hope that clients will be available for all the consoles and handhelds (PS3, 360, Wii, PSP, DS). I don’t really like playing games on the PC anymore, because [...]
finished and unstarted games
I finished Fable: The Lost Chapters last night. I enjoyed it… would’ve been nice if there were more than one voice for the wives you can get; the one available is pretty annoying, and if you happen to find a female in the game who doesn’t use that voice, either a) you can’t marry her, [...]
