Hi Chris! I have gradually moved away from videogames (see also: "Fuck Videogames") but I am pleased to be here right now in this moment.
The Meta-Campaign
In the thirty days before the Ninth Anniversary of Only a Game can we get thirty players to return and leave a comment? That's the challenge. Last year, I celebrated the Bronze Anniversary (i.e. eight years) of this blog by revisiting eight classic posts. This year, instead of revisiting posts ...
I sure wouldn't mind a link to Tiny Subversions! http://tinysubversions.com
(Greatly enjoying the aesthetics series, btw.)
Friends of ihobo
I have finally added a blog roll to the ihobo site, called ‘Friends of ihobo’, which you’ll see in the sidebar. Your site may already be listed – take a look! If it isn’t and you want it to be, check you meet the following three essential criteria: You’re a friend of the company International H...
Yes, exactly what Jeena said.
ShareThis Widget Removed
I've disabled the ShareThis widget because it was annoying me. If anyone found this useful, let me know and I'll ponder putting it back on. But if other people found it irritating, let me know as I'll take this as confirmation of my decision to cut it.
Whoops, it stripped my HTML. The article is here:

Failing Towards Fearlessness
I recently discovered Mark Suster's Both Sides of the Table through a post on Fred Wilson's always excellent blog and I've been devouring the content. It's really insightful and interesting. The latest post about about What Entrepreneurs Could Learn from Chamillionaire echoes the lessons that ma...
I clicked through to this how not to suck at presentation article, and I bristled when he said, "No great presentation can be delivered like a conversation." I mean, come on, the best presentations are like a conversation! Then he qualified that with tips like be energetic, don't mumble, etc. At which point I realized that I probably don't carry myself in a conversation the same way most people do...

Fantastic news, Clint. I look forward to hearing of whatever it is you do next. (And hopefully to playing it as well!)
And by the way, if your future plans include a game-dev-owned-and-operated restaurant... I'm in.
451 Weeks
Nine years ago, I was stuck. I was stuck in Vancouver, stuck in school, stuck in a life of habits – mostly bad – and stuck in the tragic comfort of doing the same things, and making the same mistakes, over and over again. There were plenty of good things going on too. I was writing a lot – workin...
I was thinking of ways to support the devs without supporting EA, and I hit on this: spend $30 + shipping and send a nice beer sampler to Visceral :)
Dante's Inferno
I like Dante's Inferno. There. I said it. It's off my chest, and I feel like a new man. Since I'm in a confessional mood, I might as well spill all the beans, so I'll admit that I even prefer the game to its source material, Dante Alighieri's epic-poem medieval Christian vision of Hell. To a...
I always wonder how Gamefly works out in terms of revenue to developers. I know that when a video store purchases a movie to keep in stock, they pay a special renter's price -- something like five times the amount that the DVD itself would cost a consumer. Wondering if GameFly has some similar license.
Is GameFly Really Worth It?
I tend to have GameFly games out for a while. I wondered to myself - is this really worth it? If I just bought used games, would I not only spend about the same amount of money but also get to keep the games? Turns out GameFly lets you look at your rental history. So I did. Turns out, for ga...
