Meh. I'm fucking tired as hell. Africa was fucking cool. We were in Johannesburg for a couple of days doing the Rage game show there. Thanks to all the folks at Megarom (our S. Africa distributor) who made the trip so easy on us and thanks to the team from the UK office who joined…

A year ago we first unveiled the game at the Game Convention here in Leipzig. Now we’re back. It’s been a fuck of a long year, but I’m really looking forward to getting the game in the hands of the fans here in Germany… they seemed to really love it last year. This year it’s…

As of this writing I am in Paris, getting ready for Ubidays. We’ll be in the Louvre, where we I will be presenting a short, live stage demo during the opening conference on Wednesday night (Paris time – that will be Wednesday afternoon EST and Wednesday morning PST).
