Warhawk!

( games and ps3 and pew pew )

Continuing my apparently unfashionable dalliance with the PEE ESS THREE, I’ve spent the last week or so fiddling about with and enjoying WARHAWK.
It’s good for a few reasons:

It’s (as far as I know), the first online-only, team based combat game on a console. And to their credit, Insomniac did a lot of stuff right; you […]

GDC Day 3

( games and GDC07 )

Feeling much better today, went to get breakfast at Mel’s dinner near the convention center, bumped into James Jen again. Berrated him for ruining my Tuesday.
First session was IP: Creating it, Using it. It covered the 4 types of IP (trade secrests, patents, trademarks, and copyright), how to use it, and how to protect and […]

Met Brian Crecente from Kotaku, complimented him on his baiting of Sony, he complemented us on our game. Seems to be a very nice chap, and has a very distinctive hairdo.
Bumped […]

( work related and games and GDC07 )

I know taking pictures of homeless people is very very poor form, but in my defense, he’s got SPANK ME written on his hat, and the pretzel guy is clearly very unimpressed.
What’s even better than this is earlier in the day I saw another tramp wearing a hat with SPANK ME hand-written on it, so […]

GDC woo

( games and GDC07 )

Arrived in San Francisco last night after fairly 2 fairly boring flights. I amused myself by watching Night at the Museum (twice, it was really good!), and noodling in Live 6; I set myself a challenge to make some music in the two-and-a-bit hours my battery would last, here’s the results:
noodle-y bollocks
Spent this morning […]
