    Thank you for this very interesting collection, and for wrestling with the obviously mixed feelings on this anniversary. And thank…

  • Smith -vs- God

    Well, I guess if you really believe in abdicating authorship, disagreeing with the church is as good a place as any to draw the line given that they’ve thrown in their chips with the biggest author of ’em all. Sarcasm aside, I’m glad Harvey stood up and fired back on this, because this whole thing…

  • Gamasutra Interview

    So immediately following my GDC presentation, I did an interview with Bonnie Ruberg from Gamasutra, which is now up on their site. It goes into a few more details about the talk, and Bonnie also asked a few good questions about gender issues in exploration… some stuff I hadn’t thought much about.

  • Convergence ‘No longer a theory’

    Oh well, I guess I was wrong when I refuted the theory that games and film can converge. According to Ed Ulbrich, the President of the commercial division of Digital Domain, it’s not just something they’re talking about. By buying the digital effects house and setting out to make games, Michael Bay has somehow proven…

  • Deus Triple Ex?

    Will Deus Ex 3 be a loss leader for Eidos in the battle for Montreal? So it’s well known now that along with Ubisoft and EA, other major publishers have started to edge their way into Montreal to take advantage of the ever-expanding game development community here. Among them – Eidos, who historically have published…

  • Hey UNESCO – What About Us?

    I know that it is incredibly old school to read a newspaper while waiting for a BLT in a pub at lunchtime while out shopping, but I was in an old school kinda mood today. Flipping through the weekend ‘Life’ section of the Gazette, I discovered that the City was hosting ‘Design Montreal’s Open House’,…

  • The Olsen Saga – Part VI – Done

    Olsen arrived this morning just as I was about to leave for work. I didn’t have a chance to post about it today, and it took me a few hours to get it up and running again. No explanation, really, but they just sent me a completely new box. Maybe my old one was permanently…

  • The Olsen Saga – Part V – Syed Says

    As Mark, the Service Center Supervisor who I spoke to last night promised me, I received a call at 13:22 this afternoon from Syed. I guess Syed is Winston Wolf of the Service Center. After reconfirming all the details of the issue, Syed told me he would get to the bottom of it and find…

  • The Olsen Saga – Part IV – I Wish There Was No Part IV

    I wish there was no Part IV to this saga, or at very least, I wish Part IV was the conclusion, but it’s not. So I called 1-800-4 MY XBOX today to inquire about my X360 repair status. I can’t post the Purolator Tracking Number here because it might violate some kind of agreement, but…

  • I Feel Your Pain, Dude

    David Jaffe blogged about the review Gamespot gave his newly released PS3 downloadable game Calling All Cars. I have to say that I know exactly how he feels because there was a pretty common consensus that Gamespot always lowballed the scores for Splinter Cell titles. Kasavin gave the original Splinter Cell an 8.6 when the…

  • The Olsen Saga – Part III – Jimmy Kidnapped?!?

    Uh-oh. Hate to say it, but things aren’t running completely smoothly here. My Purolator Tracking Number indicates that Olsen was received at the Service Center in Courtland, Ontario at 11:58am on Friday, April 13th. But a check this morning indicates that it has not yet left the Service Center. The talented Michelle, with whom I…
