http://talesofham.blogspot.com/2011/06/interview-with-corey-cole.html
Thursday, June 2, 2011. Interview with Corey Cole. A man that for any serious classic adventure gaming aficionado needs no introduction, Corey Cole, co-creator of the Quest for Glory series, agreed to do an interview with me recently. Corey was a chief programmer throughout the series and co-designed the games with his wife, Lori. How did you get started at Sierra and how was is working there? What would you say were your main influences for Quest for Glory? Do you play current any current rpg's? I play ...

Hamwizen - Geek culture, quantified.: State of (free to) play
http://talesofham.blogspot.com/2012/04/state-of-free-to-play.html
Friday, April 27, 2012. State of (free to) play. Free to play is the new black, it seems. No longer associated with bad Korean MMO's, and cheap, simple flash games, free to play is really starting to hit its stride. There is an amazing amount of triple-a quality F2P games out there now, and many more in the pipeline. What has caused this seemingly sudden influx of F2P titles? But what does this mean for the gaming industry at large? I don't think so. I think there will always be room for both. Th...There...

I've never read the source material, and I know next to nothing about it, but when three incredible artists (David Fincher, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross) come together on a project, this is the kind of thing. You can get. Impressive trailer, amazing cover. Fresh off of their collaboration on The Soical Network, the contemporary masters are back at work together again. I can't wait to see the finished product. Girl with the Dragon Tatoo. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Last ye...

Hamwizen - Geek culture, quantified.: August 2011
http://talesofham.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 9, 2011. Smith's film work is varied, funny, relatable and speaks to a generation in a way that movies from film makers like John Hughes or Cameron Crowe might have in their heyday. Despite his commercial and critical success, however, Smith seems to divide audiences and critics alike, no matter what area of pop-culture he's trying to tackle. Listen to his morning internet radio show, ' Plus One Per Diem. Monday, August 8, 2011. Just in case a whole awesome supernatural webseries. If ther...

Hamwizen - Geek culture, quantified.: Modern Hollywood
http://talesofham.blogspot.com/2011/05/modern-hollywood.html
Wednesday, May 18, 2011. Versatility is an asset any good aspiring actor knows the importance of. Pigeon-holing your craft into any one aspect of performance limits your potential career opportunities right from the get go. An actor that can tackle a variety of different jobs, intimate performance, stunt and martial arts work, and voice acting, for instance, is more valuable than a performer that only knows how to wear one, single proverbial 'mask'. Me: What made you decide to pursue acting? My role in t...
