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.)
Charging More for a Worse Product
No, game prices don't "need" to go up. That's not how supply and demand works. Instead, the publishers need to be smarter about where they spend their money.
The Disappointment Engine
No Man's Sky is a game seemingly engineered to create a cycle of anticipation and disappointment.
Trekrospective
A look back at Star Trek, from the Original Series to the Abrams Reboot.
Denuvo and the "Death" of Piracy
Denuvo videogame DRM didn't actually kill piracy, but it did stop it for several months. Here's what we learned from that.
Hardware Review
So what happens when a SOFTWARE engineer tries to review hardware? This. This happens.
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?
