Works In Progress II: Electric Boogaloo

So between items I need to fix for my day job, here’s a few snapshots of things I’d rather be doing with my time this morning. Poor Lighthouse. I keep meaning to bang out more words in that novel but other things keep coming up. It’s only going to be an e-book, sure, but it’s… Continue reading Works In Progress II: Electric Boogaloo

Everything's Cooler in Space: Brainstorming in 15 Minutes

Since I missed the opportunity during my actual lunch break, and have some time between assignments, I’m going to take 15 minutes and follow some of the advice from David Hill‘s fantastic RPG-making panel last evening. This entry isn’t to be confused with the singularly brilliant work of Cleolinda. Anyway, let’s start the clock. 14:05… Continue reading Everything's Cooler in Space: Brainstorming in 15 Minutes

Spit 'n' Polish: GameX

So this thing happened to me over the weekend. Here are some of the highlights. Yes, that’s me with Yahtzee of Zero Punctuation and Paul & Graham of Unskippable over at The Escapist. If you think that Yahtzee is unapproachable or caustic because of his yellow-background minimalist Internet persona, you’re a moron. Paul & Graham… Continue reading Spit 'n' Polish: GameX

Works in Progress

I mentioned in my last LiveJournal entry that with everything going on, despite working weekends to try and make ends meet, I don’t feel stagnant and things are moving forward. GameX begins tomorrow and I’m very much looking forward to it. I’m still not settled on the format for the video supplements for my Netflix… Continue reading Works in Progress

A Visit From My Muse

So I was planning on getting more work done on the video adaptation of my review of Changeling, and was in the process of getting my web development tasks out of the way when my muse snuck up behind me, sat on my lap and lathered me with inspiration. It wasn’t really appropriate for the… Continue reading A Visit From My Muse

The Coming Cataclysm

So Blizzcon has come and gone, and along with hands-on time with Starcraft II and the unveiling of the Monk class for Diablo III, the big feature of the convention was the announcement of the next expansion to the World of Warcraft, Cataclysm. The reactions to the various announcements have been mixed, and I’d like… Continue reading The Coming Cataclysm

Are You Not Entertained?

If Warcraft Sues is any indication, a lot of people running around on role-playing servers like mine are there for shameless attention gathering and “mature” role-playing. Prime examples are this, this and dear God, this monstrosity. This could just be me, but I think that the role-playing bit of a role-playing game should be more… Continue reading Are You Not Entertained?

Come Get Da Voodoo

Since this is going to be a post about World of Warcraft, I’ll spare those of you uninterested in such overt geekery the rambling thoughts that follow. Just pretend I’m reviewing The Hurt Locker or something.

Checking Inn

Art by Kennon James They slay dragons, liberate the oppressed and defy the nefarious plans of unspeakably evil villains. Some of them wear suits of armor and ride into battle on noble steeds while others stay far from the melee and rely on intellect and study for their combative prowess. However, what fantasy heroes have… Continue reading Checking Inn
