A lot of people ask me, like I’m sure they ask you if you’re also working on games, “How did you get into the game industry?”
For me, it was about a few things leading up to where I am today. First of all, I’ve almost always played them starting with the VCS and so on. [...]

I bought Madden ‘07 for my 360 over at Circuit City for $47 a few days ago. This is only a , “deal”, because $47 is lower than the ridiculously inflated $60 price most 360 games normally sell for. In reality what you end up paying is a normal full price for PS2/XBox games. I [...]

Besides the strength of the titles themselves, and the strangeness of paying something I usually download for free with MAME (get your red hot intelligent cube iso warez here.) I find the games on Xbox Live Arcade strangely appealing. I think it has something to do with the fact that unlike MAME which makes my [...]

Why oh why are there no good terminal emulators for OS X?
I know this is a real UNIX system, yeah Apple, you paid for the rights to say that.
However, Terminal.app?

No tabbed windows, slow as molasses, come on already, you’re Apple. I know you want people to stop using the command line for many [...]

If you’re interested I’ve just started another venture with regard to Linux and a wee bit of testing talk thrown in. The Linux Games Dot Com podcast.

Usually when the uneducated public (including your family) finds out about your game industrycareer you’ll end up being pigeonholed into one of several game job stereotypes they’ve heard of. Generally it is that you’re a tester and find bugs, or just play video games all day. If you’re lucky you won’t lose their respect when [...]

Please excuse the exposition, the Metal Gear series is my favorite. So you must suffer through my addiction too.

Today is everyone’s favorite holiday of the year, Zach-mas!
Ho ho ho.
My quality? It is assured.

I use wiki software in practically everything I do. One of the problems with this kind of software is that (and this is why this is a quick roundup) because Wikipedia runs the Media Wiki software.
WIkipedia running Media Wiki is an unintentional problem, kind of like the slashdot effect, but for development. You see, since [...]

Yeah, so. In Dead Rising on the 360, make sure you don’t approach any innocents with your chainsaw revved.
Since Sam asked why in the comments, I’ll answer here:
You will cut the innocent pleading survivors to pieces if it so much as brushes against them. Mwhahahaha. Oops!
Excellent game by the way, the save system gets a [...]
