Profile: Ben "Yahtzee" Croshaw
Ben Croshaw [wiki] hit the internet like a rabbit punch, swift and ruthlessly. Zero Punctuation, his weekly, ranting comic/animation was quickly absorbed by The Escapist, and in the process, their non-video page views increased 394%. Yahtzee's pithy, rapid-fire (in his...

Jetpack Brontosaurus
I am miserably sick, but today, some bright news (via TIGSource, of course). Oh, it's on: "Splendid jetpack dreams of the Apatosaurus named Brontosaurus."Those gents over at Flashbang may as well put us all out of the game design business....
Eumemics/Dysmemics
I can't remember what I was reading the other day that provoked this, but, here goes: if eugenics and dysgenics are the study/practice of the manipulation of genes towards features good or ill (perhaps sinisterly enough, the former is always...
"Comment on Politics." "Sure."
We've been asked to blog a short post on what politics, specifically, the presidential election, means for our topic. I am not a particularly political person: I do hold strong political beliefs, but they are not particularly common, nor ordinary....

Blog Profile: The Whimsical World of Raph's Website
Writing 340's homework for today: profile and evaluate a blog. Raph Koster, I choose you! This is a little short, and formated poorly, but it has to be in on time. I'll correct it like Nice Pete's Peach Titus at...
Welcome

Comment On A Blog: Magical Wasteland
Magical Wasteland has a succinct, but brilliant post on Five Short Videogame Industry Keynotes. They are pithy and to the point, so I'm afraid I'm not really adding much, but I think we need more of this honest and confrontational...
Casual Collective
The Casual Collective claims to combine social networking with casual gaming. So far they have some pretty basic stuff up, Tower Defense and strategy-lite games. Still, should be interesting to see if it goes anywhere....
Darling Little Provocateurs
Point. Counter-Point. It's hard to be charitable to a point that amounts to little more than hell-raising and doom saying. It's hard to listen to a counter-point where dismissive, bombastic vulgarity is employed for novelty, as opposed to an argument...
How to Make Art
How to Make Art on Instructables. How haughty! To wit: Art-making is one of the easiest and most lucrative of human activities. A finished work of art can be exchanged for many desirable things such as food, shelter, sex, fame...
thesixtyone
Hey, IMD bro-from-long-ago, James Miao, is trying to get his website, thesixtyone, dugg. If you approve of free music, an MMO-like compulsion system for browsing, and light social networking, check it out. In James' own words: Many of you know...
The Last Bioshock Post You'll Need To Read For A While I Promise
There's been a lot of hemming and hawing about "art" and what Bioshock means for the state of the medium and far too much meandering (b)logorrhea about "moral choice" (when, really, we're just being set up for a solid handful...
