So Steven Den Beste’s Chizumatic is still down. His site went down when he moved to Seattle a couple of weeks ago (Just in time to lose the superbowl to the Steelers, too bad!) and hasn’t re-appeared since. Geeze Steven, whats the holdup? Need an extention cord? Help unpacking boxes? Maybe go over to your new neighbor and borrow a cup of DSL?
Chizu was one of my never-miss-it stops for the day. I need to seriously start thinking about finding a new anime blog. This is a bit tricky. A lot of anime fans aim for the more boobies-and-robots end of the spectrum, and I tend to enjoy the more thoughtful and slower-paced stuff.
Barring that, I should at least learn to stop clicking on my Chizumatic bookmark every morning. Sheesh.
Programming Language for Games
Game developer Jon Blow is making a programming language just for games. Why is he doing this, and what will it mean for game development?
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.
TitleWhat’s Inside Skinner’s Box?
What is a skinner box, how does it interact with neurotransmitters, and what does it have to do with shooting people in the face for rare loot?
In Defense of Crunch
Crunch-mode game development isn't good, but sometimes it happens for good reasons.
Steam Summer Blues
This mess of dross, confusion, and terrible UI design is the storefront the big publishers couldn't beat? Amazing.
