Will Wright Is A Lemur

By virtue of his thought process.
I managed to catch half of his “What’s Next in Design” talk in the Civic Auditorium at GDC, before sadly having to scoot out to a scheduled meeting. What I did see though, what the scattered mind of sharp intelligence, working so furiously, so fast, and at such a […]

Bloggers Get the Skinny

Okay, as I so loudly bragged about last week, I attended GDC in San Jose, where it was sunny, pleasant, and unlike home, not snowing. I also had the fabulous fortune of attending the keynote speeches of Phil Harrison from Sony, Satoru Iwata from Nintendo, and everyone’s favourite creative genius, Will Wright.
I have disappointing […]

WoW, I’m Rich! or Why I love the Auction House

The Auction House in World of Warcraft has been my new addiction for a few weeks now. I used to never go to the AH in my WoW beginnings because going to Ironforge was entirely too frustrating (laaaaag). But ever since the geniuses at Blizzard decided to implement linked auction houses, and even start one […]

Second (Life) Impressions

So, as promised, I gave Second Life another shot yesterday. I figured that if I just got out of Noobieland, I’d be able to find some cool stuff to do. I started to fly around, not really knowing what to do or where to go. I tried to ignore my first instinct to look for […]

Nintendo Revolution: Affordable and Full O’ Space

I really like Nintendo. I love the fact that while Microsoft and Sony battle it out, Nintendo just does its own thing and does it really well.
In an interview of Nintendo’s president, Satoru Iwata tells CNN/Money that the new console will be more affordable than the other next-gen consoles such as the XBOX 360 […]

Second Life: First Impressions

Yesterday I succumbed to the morbid curiosity that is Second Life. Everywhere I turned, someone was writing about it, and I decided it was time to see what all of the fuss was about. So I went to the site, sighed up for their free membership, and got rocking. The setup was amazingly easy and […]

No More PlayStation

Now, don’t panic. I’m just talking about the PlayStation One. I’d even forgotten it existed so it’s just as well that Sony has decided to discontinue manufacturing them. It’s not like the PS2 doesn’t play the games anyway, and the PS3 is looming somewhere in the horizon.
I hope this announcement doesn’t make anyone cry. […]

Desperate Housewives Video Game

Yes, indeed, Desperate Housewives is coming to your PC in video game form, according to Walt Disney’s Buena Vista Games, Inc. I knew it was only a matter of time before someone announced the idea for this. I think Lost is going to be next.
In the game, players take on the role of […]

WoW Observations

Note: This was written yesterday while my Internet was down. It seems to be back up again long enough for me to post this. Wee!
I’ve been back to seriously playing WoW for a little over a week now and I’ve been trying to compare WoW ‘then’ and ‘now’ and here’s what I’ve come up […]
