At Tap we have been cataloging our backlogs all year. I’ve discovered, much like the rest of the crew, that I buy more games than I actually play, let alone finish. Then there comes the problem of games that you buy, and play, but that can’t actually be finished, in any real sense. I am still a…

My first PAX-related article is up at Tap! It’s a pretty standard “news” style post about the new Neverwinter MMO in development by Cryptic. Though I take pride in the fact that I’m such a huge Fourth Edition nerd that I didn’t get lost in the jargon. It was hip-deep, ya’ll. If you’re a fan of…

Updates have been a little spare lately due to my own development projects, but if you’re one of the people I handed a card to at PAX, you probably came to the right place! I plan to write up a little more about some games, and some game-community things I saw while I was at…

If you’re one of the small but growing number of people who follow me on Twitter, you might have seen this comment yesterday: Lots of people have spell-checkers on their computers.

So here I am, Day Two of GDC, Day One already in the bag. Here’s some of the stuff I saw on my first day of the GDC Main Conference, and the great Gamasutra coverage of them: Sid Meier – Interesting Decisions Mare Sheppard – Why I Hate Women in Games Initiatives Keiji Inafune –…

Today I put out a little something about Mass Effect 2. Read about that right here. Critical Distance is asking a tough question again, this time for February, and I have to admit I’m a little stumped there. I have written about love in the context of games. I drafted something for Valentine’s Day that I…
