The design and business of gaming from the perspective of an experienced developer
Time for the lazy man’s post — the monthly google keyword search. This month, we had kind of a theme. See if you can spot it. Continue reading
This one’s been making the rounds lately (I first saw it on Game Girl Advance): a players’ manifesto on how to fix the gaming industry. A seriously entertaining read, here’s one of the less profane snippets: (2014- Damion notes: updated to a new version of the article from 2007)
[P]romise me that you won’t play the same Madden commentary sound files on every fifth play. “Whoa, he looked like he was hit by a truck! A five-ton truck hauling a trailer!” Yes, you’ll hear that one six motherslapping times in one game of Madden ‘05. YOU HAVE A HARD DRIVE NOW, taking data from a 9 GB DVD. You have NO excuse to keep recycling the same mindless observations over and over and over again until we’re pointing at our television with a shaking finger and screaming “EAT ME, JOHN! JUST EAT MEEEEEEE!” as most of us do now.
Check out what the King from Katamari Damacy has to say on the subject of the ever-shrinking consoles.
I was super-excited about Grayson some months ago and ever since then, my co-workers have mailed me every two-bit fan-made comic book short movie that’s come on the Internet. For better or for worse.
This one is definitely on the ‘better’ side: for your Friday pleasure, I present Robin’s Big Date (Quicktime), starring Sam Rockwell as Batman-as-a-jerk.
This is slightly old, but worth resurrecting for the impending release of Episode III. The Weekly Standard examines how the Empire’s method of orderly governance was far superior to the Republic that preceded it, and why the Rebel Alliances was ultimately “an unimpressive crew of anarchic royals who wreck the galaxy so that Princess Leia can have her tiara back.” Continue reading
Is there a dev studio that you’ve always wanted to bring to your knees? Idlenews humbly suggests that what you need is the cursed “Fischbach’s Iguana of High Acclaim“, the stuffed mascot of two defunct Austin studios, which is on sale on eBay for a current bid of $102.50.
Supposedly forged unknown years ago in the shadow of Mt. Bonnell, and forged by the first of the Acclaim kings, after the destruction of the Austin Army, its whereabouts became unknown for many moons…
It eventually surfaced in the small studio known as Ion Storm, where it’s true and potent powers soon drove the studio into despair. After a valiant effort, the power of the Iguana won through and another studio had perished through its damning gaze…
Could whoever buys that thing get it the hell out of Austin for me? kthx.
Following Scott’s footsteps of posting laziness, I present to you some of the more bizarre search strings that somehow pointed to my blog in the month of April.

A capella video game music medley. It says a lot for the penetration of games into the mainstream the level of applause that some of these pieces of music got.
Kotaku reports that the army has contracted a military simulation game that will taser you when you die in the simulator, presumably so the people they’re training will stop grabbing the rocket launcher and trying to rocket jump into a kamikazi raid on blue base. Continue reading
