Love the art. Whatever this game is, I want it.

I used to work on an MMO. (A quite old one, never wildly successful, but it's still running.) I was the major developer of the magic system (having inherited the code from someone who didn't believe in documentation and wasn't as good a coder as he thought he was) and in charge of one of the character classes.

I…

I got one in November and am very happy with it, so yes.

Sign up for PSN+. Download everything that's free. Keep checking it every week or so because the free games and discounts rotate (sometimes frequently). Try all the demos of things you think you might possibly like. Check out the PSOne and PSP Classics in the…

For some reason, now I'm wondering how many children have been named Claptrap.

As much respect as I had for Toontown, people were calling characters "toons" well before that.

#9 is a good one for programmers to remember while optimizing.

Agreed, but the line between a kook and a visionary is kind of fuzzy and wavy and he's probably crossed it several times.

Recognizing that video games are (almost) (*) all about spatial reasoning is a good thing to do. Trying to get creative and do something else is pretty bold. But calling every game that is about…

Shadowrun Returns.

It's not a failure on the level of Colonial Marines, but that save system... ugh.

Hopefully the Berlin campaign will redeem it.

I know I'm kind of weird, but I played the Tearaway demo and thought "this is cute, but I'm just not into it" and uninstalled.

I'm a big fan of Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X. I could never stand Gimp, but then I thought Photoshop's UI was pretty horrible as well compared to PSP.

People who don't want/ can't afford / don't have time for an MMO like to justify their bashing with the easiest possible excuse, I think.

You play as a robot. You travel from planet to planet, meeting silly characters and taking on simple quests. You generate musical bands and fat babies and pirate ships. You decorate the scenery. You talk to your friend, who is a red balloon. You meet with your therapist, whose name is Dr. Therapist. And you can send…

Nobody's going to walk a mile in this guy's shoes.

I'm deleting my wishlist and replacing it with this.

But first I'm asking what the little red button does.

Here's how I "built" my gaming PC:

Winamp, among its other virtues, is how I sync my iPod. It's the only painless way I've found.

I don't think indie games sell the Vita. They might sell the Ouya, maybe, if anyone is buying that. But it's difficult to explain why Spelunky is a better experience on Vita than on PC, for instance.

Remote play... maybe other gamers feel differently, but I don't care. My two platforms are PC and Vita. (Well, and a…
