Who will make today’s Pacman?
I just read this from Brian Mitsoda (ex-Troika) on fave gaming site rockpapershotgun in an article about ‘which games made you the gamer you are’ and I agreed so furiously that a little bit of wee came out:
It’s impossible to separate my childhood from Pac-Man. If you were alive in the early 80s, you knew [...]
The Consequences of Counting
(Or, for those enjoying the puns, Nashional Guard.)
Every social media destination has some sort of scoring mechanism:
Twitter followers
Linked-In contacts
Facebook friends
Blog subscribers/comments
Those are the four I personally use most consistently, though I dip in and out of all the others to see what’s happening. They all have an equivalent.
What’s the result of those scores? Bigger is [...]

If you start a job as an oil rigger, then there’s a 50% chance you’ll have a reportable accident within the next six months. After that period, the risk drops to 5% or less, as you get to know the ropes.
That’s quite frightening for potential oil-riggers and for people in the oil and gas industry [...]
Viral WoW
Blizzard, the company behind the most successful and profitable entertainment franchise in the world*, World of Warcraft, held a mini-conference in Paris last week to announce that a second sequel to its Diablo series – Diablo III – was in development. Unlike a lot of press conferences, they invited along lots of fans, active forum [...]
My Week in Media
I’ve been tagged twice for this so here goes. I have also cheated and extended this out to two weeks…
