I’ve been at GDC for ten years. I was only an official CA for eight of those years, and last year was one of the two times that I wasn’t a CA. I had a whole week of scheduled events to network and to meet with industry legends as an IGDA Scholar, yet I spent … Continue reading
Every Day the Same Dream, by Molleindustria and Paolo Pedercini, is quite satisfying and elegant for what it is. It’s not a very long game, and repetitive with slight variations each time.

From what I’m told, this is Blizzard’s free to play, Magic cards-like, based off of WoW, game. I’m neither familiar with Magic nor WoW.

I’m not good at games, where you have to _regularly_ screw other people over to win. This game is … Continue reading

My most frequent encounters with Regex are when I’m parsing a string in Java and I call the split() function. When Regex has been useful: Let’s say I wanted to count how many times all the words in the Bible occur. … Continue reading
I wasn’t going to be a student forever, or much longer, for that matter. In all my years of being a student, I had never applied to this, mostly, because I didn’t really know what it was.
