Sorry all, I was in Pittsburgh for a week for a wedding and I came back with the plague.
Neat stuff over the past week:
I downloaded Duke Nukem’ 3D for XBLA while I was couchbound yesterday. It’s as good as (maybe better than?) I remembered.
The system works after all.
Despite feeling the oncoming of the Black Death, […]
I had two separate strangers cold-email me this week looking for ways into the game industry. I was updating my About page to answer this frequently asked question, but I liked what I came up with, so it can get its own post as well:

I don’t do Fantasy Football because the folks here at the studio are MEGA HARDCORE (insert death metal growling) about it and it’s expensive.

Looks like MTV Multiplayer agrees with me on Polarity.
