Old book is old. Even the guy on the cover is old. I have a dog-eared copy of the first Choose Your Own Adventure book, the Cave of Time, somewhere in my collection. I adored reading it over and over again, because every time I picked it up, something different was going to happen. Now,… Continue reading Choose Your Own Action/Adventure

Programmatic Mission Statement
My career path has been, to say the least, an odd one.

Spit 'n' Polish: GameX
So this thing happened to me over the weekend. Here are some of the highlights. Yes, that’s me with Yahtzee of Zero Punctuation and Paul & Graham of Unskippable over at The Escapist. If you think that Yahtzee is unapproachable or caustic because of his yellow-background minimalist Internet persona, you’re a moron. Paul & Graham… Continue reading Spit 'n' Polish: GameX
