  • Click Nothing Tour 2009 – Part IV

    Savannah. It's hot here – like 25 degrees and sweltering humid. Didn't expect that as I'd been keeping an eye on the temperature in the weeks before we left, but what can you do. So far, things have been going very well. After GameX, I did three big schools pretty much back-to-back. First was CMU…

  • Click Nothing Tour 2009 – Part III

    So the 'lecture' part of the 'lecture tour' doesn't start until tomorrow but the 'tour' part started late last night with a phonecall from US Airways (all the way to Montreal from Raleigh, NC) saying that my 9:30am flight would be delayed until 11:10. That all changed of course with a 6:30 am call saying…

  • Click Nothing Tour 2009 – Part II

    In the beginning, there was nothing It's been a long time in coming, but I have finally put the finishing touches on the Click Nothing Tour 2009. It's going to be a long and complex one, but it should be fun. One talk, seven cities, ten days. The talk, as detailed in a previous post,…

  • Click Nothing Tour 2009 – Part I

    So for those who missed it in the microsecond that it flew past on Twitter, I will be keynoting the GameX Industry Summit conference taking place in Philadelphia on Oct 24-25. Here are the working title and summary of the talk I plan to give: The Territory is not the Map: Hyper Realism and the New…

  • GDC09 – Part 3 – Wines and Rants

    The last set of slides I have to put up are those for my five minute talk about game rating systems that I gave as part of Richard Lemarchand's Microtalks session on Thursday morning. Overall I really enjoyed the session – though the prep was a nightmare. I guess it's pretty easy to enjoy a session where…

  • GDC09 – Part 2 – Improvisation presentation materials

    So I promised a lot of people I would have the slides from my talk up by Monday, but then I got lazy. But finally, a whole 24 hours late, here they are. you want a quick overview of what the talk was about, Chris Remo recapped it pretty clearly here. Here's some usability tips…

  • GDC09 – Part 1 – GDW and Family Dynamics

    Here begins my long slow recap of GDC wherein I will ultimately get around to posting all of my various slides and presentation materials, as well as different commentary on the sessions I saw and what I thought was valuable about GDC this year. First up is my quick recap of the Game Design Workshop…

  • My GDC Schedule

    Honestly, as much as this is gonna look like a plug for all these interesting talks – mostly what this is, is easy access for me so I can see what talks I am going to and when becuase this is the easiest way to make this stuff quickly accessible from my phone. Those of…

  • zoom zoom zoom, blah blah blah

    Okay, so once again I am absent for a month. Once again I have been prepping presentations and globetrotting and talking about stuff. Last week I was in Vancouver giving the keynote at VFS's Game Design Expo. The talk is about the changing demographics of gamers and game developers. I'm not going to host the slides…

  • Shanghai’d

    A hundred and fifty years ago that was the name for the event of being carried off to Shanghai, but instead of salty South Seas pirates abducting me, I'm doing it in style thanks to the fine people at Japan Airlines. I did 3 short days in Sydney out of the Ubisoft office there, doing a theatre…
