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.)
The Mistakes DOOM Didn't Make
How did this game avoid all the usual stupidity that ruins remakes of classic titles?
Bethesda’s Launcher is Everything You Expect
From the company that brought us Fallout 76 comes a storefront / Steam competitor. It's a work of perfect awfulness. This is a monument to un-usability and anti-features.
Why I Hated Resident Evil 4
Ever wonder how seemingly sane people can hate popular games? It can happen!
Object-Oriented Debate
There are two major schools of thought about how you should write software. Here's what they are and why people argue about it.
Dead or Alive 5 Last Round
I'm not surprised a fighting game has an absurd story. I just can't figure out why they bothered with the story at all.
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?
