This writeup will cover the sessions I attended on Thursday of GDC (Day One of the main conference)…. or at least those ones I can talk about. My writeup will go a little long so I’ll set up a jump, which may also be useful if you don’t want any potentially spoiler information about Metroid,…

Hi internet!  I’m currently at GDC 2010. This is my first time attending. I attend a lot of events but I do not usually have a laptop, so I’m still getting used to the idea of being connected on the road. I’m going to do my best to write a bit about my experiences here…

I will be going to GDC this year! It’s my first time.  I’m pretty excited about this opportunity and hopefully will learn a lot to bring back to my classes.

What I want to talk about with this entry is another old game I’m playing lately, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attourney, and contrast it with the demo that was released for Ace Attourney Apollo Justice, a later entry in the series.  I missed the Phoenix Wright boat by several years.

I started up Assassin’s Creed today. The first one!  I’ve been told that the second game fixes some of the problems in the first game, but, well, I’m a late adopter. Just for the sake of discussion, I’ll say things I’m sure people have said before and explain what some of those problems are: 1.…

Let me show you them.  Results Link. Looks about right to me.  I enjoyed Rover.  I find it interesting to look at the curves to see which games were the most polarizing. Yon Astounding Castle was very polarizing. Everyone hates the Hangover. I actually wanted to make the ceremony on MUD but I was, I…

The new Call of Duty is out so this is a perfect time for me to talk briefly about Chrono Trigger. This doesn’t come completely out of nowhere: really, rather than focus my own thoughts on the game for now I’m just linking some things I found recently that proved interesting. This is a recent…

This was my first time reviewing IF Comp games. I’m happy that anyone can do it and I’d like to thank the community for giving me a nice welcome and tips on IF MUD although I’d never participated before.  Typically I am more on the sidelines with this community. I’m couching my roundup statement less…
