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.)
Mass Effect 3 Ending Deconstruction
Did you dislike the ending to the Mass Effect trilogy? Here's my list of where it failed logically, thematically, and tonally.
Project Octant
A programming project where I set out to make a Minecraft-style world so I can experiment with Octree data.
Silent Hill Origins
Here is a long look at a game that tries to live up to a big legacy and fails hilariously.
Ludonarrative Dissonance
What is this silly word, why did some people get so irritated by it, and why did it fall out of use?
In Defense of Crunch
Crunch-mode game development isn't good, but sometimes it happens for good reasons.
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?
