I found Dan Hsu’s blog today.  It’s about his experiences as a gaming journalist at EGM.   Check out all three parts if you are interested in how advertising and pr folks influence coverage of the industry.
I was inspired to write a smidgen of a blog post about my limited experience with public relations influence over how games are reviewed.  VGT [...]

I was cleaning this weekend and came across one of my old high school yearbooks.  I’m not one to reminisce about high school on a regular basis, but it’s certainly handy for Facebook friend requests.  I can’t remember half the people that supposedly knew me back then.

Just wanted to give a quick shout-out to the makers of Braid.  The art direction is utterly amazing as you can see above.  A couple drawbacks are that it’s too short and costs too much ($15) on XBLA.  It would have been priced appropriately at $10.
I did the freak-out dance today in public when a bee landed on my arm [...]
