I did this last week, and while it didn’t spread as a meme, I still think it’s a good idea. Pete agreed. So here are three more people whom I’ve never linked before.
Bonnie Burman Photography – Bonnie is a family friend who runs a photoblog. I really enjoy her work. I suppose it helps that my kids are subjects in a lot of the shots on her site. She specializes in child photography, which is one of the most challenging areas of photography in my book.
Byzantium’s Shores – Kelly Sedinger has been nice enough to send a few links my way and I’ve been remiss in not pointing out that the place is a goldmine of geek culture links and musings.
I just discovered this post by Jacob Pederson which talks about “gaming degrees” and working in the videogame industry. A great read for anyone who follows this subject or anyone thinking of getting a “gaming degree”.
LATER: Fixed the link to Bonnie, which linked her studio page and not her blog.
What is Vulkan?
What is this Vulkan stuff? A graphics engine? A game engine? A new flavor of breakfast cereal? And how is it supposed to make PC games better?
Bad and Wrong Music Lessons
A music lesson for people who know nothing about music, from someone who barely knows anything about music.
Batman: Arkham Origins
A breakdown of how this game faltered when the franchise was given to a different studio.
Blistering Stupidity of Fallout 3
Yeah, this game is a classic. But the story is idiotic, incoherent, thematically confused, and patronizing.
Games and the Fear of Death
Why killing you might be the least scary thing a game can do.
Thanks for the pingback. This is actually kind of a freak occurance as most of my gaming related blog stuff is located at TheGameChair.com However, occasionaly I post game related stuff at Muyuubyou (which is pretty much a poetry blog) if I want a certain friend of mine to catch it. This particular article was originally published with The Reader Weekly, a local paper in Duluth MN where I live. Thanks again for the ping!

Thanks for the linkage! I found you via Steven Den Beste, and it says a lot that I read all those gaming posts of yours all the way through, even though I never play computer games (because if I did, my marriage would have ended years ago with a footprint matching my wife’s shoe on my posterior as I hit the pavement).
Thanks Shamus!
I found my way here via Byzantium’s Shores. Just thought I’d say ‘hi’. :-)
