Verbocracy: September 2008

http://verbocracy.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html

Because all the good names were taken. Wednesday, September 17, 2008. The news on the television just reported there's now a two-month waiting period if you want to buy Sarah Palin's particular brand of rimless glasses. Two months. I've got a bad feeling about this. Links to this post. Monday, September 8, 2008. There is spice to be had! This is all after having basically done nothing but play Spore, think about Spore, and listen to talks from the people who made Spore. Since last Thursday night. Ugh.

The Intent of Content: The Scarcity of Pragmatism

http://theintentofcontent.blogspot.com/2008/04/scarcity-of-pragmatism.html

The Intent of Content. Discussing and Contemplating Game Mechanics. Thursday, April 17, 2008. The Scarcity of Pragmatism. Scarcity is a fundamental part of economic value. Diminishing returns is also irrefutable when examining economic systems, and the value of certain items in any given economic system. So why is it that most players, and the games they play, try to either ignore or control these two principles? Posted by brandon j. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Anyway Games - blog.

The Intent of Content. Discussing and Contemplating Game Mechanics. Thursday, April 17, 2008. The Rewards of Loot. There seem to be two standard ways that loot rewards are distributed in most RPG’s; completely random dispersals and the use of level, or progression, based dispersals. What about all three?

The Intent of Content: Egocentric Ignorance

http://theintentofcontent.blogspot.com/2008/04/i-have-noticed-that-although-i-own-and.html

The Intent of Content. Discussing and Contemplating Game Mechanics. Thursday, April 17, 2008. I have noticed that although I own and love games of all kinds, this blog has concentrated on video games over all other types. Part of this is just due to the vast amount of information available on video games compared to the other genres, but the real reason is my own personal lack of playing anything but video games for the past year or so.

The Intent of Content: March 2009

http://theintentofcontent.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html

The Intent of Content. Discussing and Contemplating Game Mechanics. Tuesday, March 3, 2009. It has been almost a year that I have neglected this blog. Without a long personal explanation, I will just say it has been too long. My personal time will not allow this blog to be daily (or even bi-weekly), but I am hoping to at least get back into the conversations floating around in the blog-sphere and begin to work my noodle again in the contemplation of content. Some small food for thought:. Matt Forbeck - b...

Doubt the Stars: May 2008

http://doubtthestars.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html

Doubt thou the stars are fire. Doubt the sun doth move. Doubt truth to be a liar. But never doubt I love. Follow me on Twitter. Saturday, May 31, 2008. There's a lot I could say about being interviewed, having been a member of the press, I find it particularly fascinating now that I have to turn around and talk about my game. Previews are generally positive and have always been generally positive (or neutral). There was buzz some time back surrounding an interview between EGM's Shoe and Peter Moore.

Doubt the Stars: January 2009

Doubt thou the stars are fire. Doubt the sun doth move. Doubt truth to be a liar. But never doubt I love. Follow me on Twitter. Saturday, January 3, 2009. Am I the only person who hadn't seen Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. It's interesting, in that it's a unique take format and distribution. And I'm certain we'll be seeing much more of this now, YouTube and cellphone movies, freely distributed, funded by donations. Games have already paved this way pretty well, I think.

Doubt the Stars: July 2008

And Syp from the Waaagh! I appreciate them allowing me to be a part of their show, and I must say I had a lot of fun. The interview took place before Mark Jacob's announcement last week, which I really have nothing to say about that he hasn't said better. I will say though that when Penny Arcade did a comic about the news today.

Doubt thou the stars are fire. Doubt the sun doth move. Doubt truth to be a liar. But never doubt I love. Follow me on Twitter. Sunday, April 27, 2008. All about my mother. I've written about my mother's relationship with games a few times before. I can't quite seem to stop myself since I find her relationship with technology, and in particular video games, so fascinating. And for the past three weeks, she has been obsessing about purchasing a Wii. So today when we finally. Found one in stock, she's in t...
