Everyone does those end-of-year lists. They’re derided quite a bit, but I tend to like them.
Top 64 Videogames
Lists of 'best games ever' are dumb and annoying. But like a self-loathing hipster I made one anyway.
Fixing Match 3
For one of the most popular casual games in existence, Match 3 is actually really broken. Until one developer fixed it.
This Game is Too Videogame-y
What's wrong with a game being "too videogameish"?
Stolen Pixels
A screencap comic that poked fun at videogames and the industry. The comic has ended, but there's plenty of archives for you to binge on.
Programming Vexations
Here is a 13 part series where I talk about programming games, programming languages, and programming problems.
I would like to second fried potatoes for number one.
“The award for 6th place will be shared by Resident Evil 5, Left 4 Dead 2, Plants vs. Zombies, and Zombie Driver.”
I believe that should be “8th”. Not to nitpick.
Bah, #2 beat me to it!
No, I think it’s deliberate.
Not to mention that this year sees the requisite “top 10 games of the decade”, where the only titles worth playing seem to be Half-Life 2, Halo, Resident Evil 4, Grand Theft Auto 3 (or some iteration thereof) and additional option varying from publication to publication.
I’m instead trying to do a retrospective through each individual year, but man is that tough. Especially since Wikipedia’s list of games from 2000-2006 or 2007 is missing a lot of games.
Your title is misspelled, and you are the top Google result for “requsite.”
Maybe that was the idea? ;)
If it wasn’t before, it is now ^_^
And for some reason now my brain has free-associated its way to Shamus’s article on behind-the-curtain retcons while DMing. I…don’t know.
I dunno about a top ten, but a short list of some of the cool things about this year…
–Dickens Christmas Fair.
–I *can* make tasty lasagna.
–Got my violet protodrake in WoW (and thanks to Shamus for giving me the kick I needed to actually sign up for the game last year)
–Brand new computer to replace my ~7 1/2 year old clunker.
–I look great in a bowler hat
Thanks for another year of blogging, Shamus! I look forward to the next!
