It’s not actually the 1,000th post, for reasons I’ve outlined elsewhere. I’ve published 835 posts so far, so that means I’ve thrown away 16% of the stuff I’ve started.
That’s pretty much all I have to say. Hm. Not very interesting, now that I think about it.
(Now you see why I throw some away.)
Final Fantasy X
A game about the ghost of an underwater football player who travels through time to save the world from a tick that controls kaiju satan. Really.
Trusting the System
How do you know the rules of the game are what the game claims? More importantly, how do the DEVELOPERS know?
Programming Vexations
Here is a 13 part series where I talk about programming games, programming languages, and programming problems.
If Star Wars Was Made in 2006?
Imagine if the original Star Wars hadn't appeared in the 1970's, but instead was pitched to studios in 2006. How would that turn out?
MMO Population Problems
Computers keep getting more powerful. So why do the population caps for massively multiplayer games stay about the same?
Congrats. And… First?
Well, we humans like our round numbers. I recently hit 100, and turned that post into a Carl Sagan tribute.
And as I think you mentioned earlier, this is only “exciting” (read: somewhat worthy of note) because we use base ten.
I’ll be more excited about post #1024. :)
And hey! 1024 is a power of the number of the comment I just posted! [happy dance]
It’s a big round number! YES! :) (Besides, we all love numbers that include lots of zeros :D Just remember how big a deal the year 2000 was!)
“And hey! 1024 is a power of the number of the comment I just posted! [happy dance]”
Hate to burst your bubble, but its not – someone beat you to it
1024 = 4^5. Yes it is.
Only 9 posts so far and the thread is already hijacked by numerology ;) .
I know you’ve written about “Dreamfall”. I see that the longest journey will continue, episodically.

Not a big fan of the whole “episodic” thing myself.
Hmmm.. Should probably go back and finish the original game some day though.
“Just remember how big a deal the year 2000 was!”
Does this mean that something bad will/might happen? Will this explain the fate of Steve and that other guy? What was his name?
