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.)
Resident Evil 4
Who is this imbecile and why is he wandering around Europe unsupervised?
Joker's Last Laugh
Did you anticipate the big plot twist of Batman: Arkham City? Here's all the ways the game hid that secret from you while also rubbing your nose in it.
Fixing Match 3
For one of the most popular casual games in existence, Match 3 is actually really broken. Until one developer fixed it.
The Witch Watch
My first REAL published book, about a guy who comes back from the dead due to a misunderstanding.
This Scene Breaks a Character
Small changes to the animations can have a huge impact on how the audience interprets a scene.
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!)

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?
