It depends much more on your own expertise than on a specific degree. For example, modern literature is a great degree, but it might be wiser to focus on medieval literature like I have if you want to get into game writing. Needless to say, degrees in medieval literature are much more rare, and finding a college that…

The first Xbox was a complete failure. The Xbox 360 was an artistic failure, prolonging what Mr. Anntonucci described as the lack of "vision for sophisticated video-game entertainment." I dislike the console wars in general, but I do hope that Xbox dies this next gen. If they omit backwards-compatibility, games…
What matters is not so much the guts of the System, as Wii U will be a bit behind, and Steam's entry will be well ahead, but reliability, user / consumer friendliness, and when it is launched. We are at the point where the main resistance to higher-definition and photorealistic graphics is not hardware, but funding.…

Awesome work, Jason. You are one of my favorite writers in the industry. Though, I will point out that SquareEnix Stockholders are none too pleased with Square, especially considering that thus far, the purchase of Eidos has produced nothing but headaches for the company. Looking over their 5-year stock performance is…
Suikoden II is likely my favorite game of all time. It completely eschews everything that is wrong with the modern RPG. Very little to no grinding. Every aspect of the game is related to the main plot or provides strong character development. No fetch quests. Plus, about 70+ playable characters and very likely the…
True. I like to call this type of math "Black Box Cryptography." Basically, while computers can crunch these huge numbers, then multiply them by other huge numbers with ease, humans cannot. This leads us to a point where adjusting these numbers to balance out the classes in games like WoW becomes largely guesswork and…
Thank you for all the support, guys, especially you, Jason. Chris Holmes and I are working on other Suikoden-related projects as well, so head over and join up with Suikoden Day 2012, and you will be the first to know of new developments in the Suikoden Community
