I just found the best box art of all time.
When I put my iPhone into silent mode, it doesn’t make the click when I take it out of sleep mode. It doesn’t ding when I get an email. It doesn’t ring when I get a call.
Dear developers of Texas Hold ‘em and Scrabble:
Why do your application still make noise when I’m in silent mode?
Signed,
Outed […]
No posts. Haven’t been playing games. I’ve been a busy bee. We’re moving homes this week (!) and I’m starting on a new team internally at work. Blank pages are the scariest damn things in the world, don’t you think?
A few links:
Steve Chiang was interviewed on Newsweek’s game blog.
Gabe Newell makes great games / shitty […]
Who designs the stuff at party stores?
I wonder because the bar seems pretty low. Thanks to my new phone, I have some examples.
Firstly, let it be known that I’ve worked with DC Comics before. They are sticklers. Superman’s cape is too red. It’s not red enough. Superman can’t be injured. Except by kryptonite. And you […]
It is amazing at how many people cheat at Top 5 lists. You don’t get to say Honorable Mentions. You don’t get to say: “I guess I’d add so-and-so if I could”. That’s cheating. You don’t get to say: “Oh, it changes so often!” Of course it does. That’s just another way to quell the […]
No industry-related posts lately - I’ve been busy.
Firstly, GDD writing and estimate meetings for my current project are sucking my days dry.
Speaking of dry, we just had a hurricane come sorta close. The studio shut down early yesterday and we went home and played Madden and Rock Band. When given the choice between hurricane and […]
The always eloquent and classy David Jaffe, ladies and gentlemen (via MTV Multiplayer, of course):
Alot of the net posters commenting on this story are assuming game devs who want this treatment are ego maniacs. They then go on to say that movie stars and movie directors are ok to ask for it because that’s just […]
Henry Hatsworth is getting some love on the Multiplayer blog and so is it’s creator. I almost put “Kyle Gray’s Henry Hatsworth”, but while he’s the uberman on that project everyone knows it takes tons of people to realize a creative vision. But the attention is justly deserved. I haven’t played the game yet, but […]
With all the negativity about, here’s the first in a series of things that are fantastic. No griping allowed in these posts.
Dream Theater is finally in Rock Band. I was jazzed about hearing they would have a song in Rock Band 2, but having DLC right now for a dollar is lemon icing.
We’re moving to […]
I’m not understanding the vitriol surrounding Celebrity Sports Showdown. If the avatar was Mario instead of LeeAnn Rimes, you wouldn’t see 3/4 of the anger. Here’s Joystiq’s news post:
Go skiing with Fergie in Celebrity Sports Showdown: And then kill yourself immediately, please. We suggest taking your copy of Celebrity Sports Showdown, EA Canada’s zeitgeist fart […]
