Peter and I chose our top 10 games of the year. For Time. Then we chose them for Techland. Amazingly they turned out to be the exact same list both times. Here it is.
We got pretty into geoDefense Swarm here at Techland. Except we called it Nerd World then.
This is going to have to be short and incoherent — even shorter and incoherent-er than usual — because I don’t actually have the books I’m talking about in front of me. Also I’m in Cambridge, MA, typing this on my mother’s laptop, and my mother’s laptop’s keyboard is totally jacked.
No, seriously, they did. It’s here.
A while back I mentioned that — for an unnamed publication, and for an unnamed sum — I’d agreed to name the six greatest fantasy novels of all time. The post got some great comments, a lot actually, and I think I promised I’d say when the piece actually came out.
The new album Jingle Spells 3 is up at The Leaky Cauldron. If you’re into wizard rock, you’re already over there. If you’re not into wizard rock, this will mean nothing to you. Let me help.
I’ve been playing a lot of Modern Warfare 2 this week.. Or it’s been playing me, I don’t know. Some seriously heavy interaction is going on, one way or the other. When I take the MW2 disk out of my 360, I am not the same person who put it in.
Yes, we did another Techland show. We do it every Thursday morning. But we pretend it’s Friday in order to maintain the cinematic illusion. What you see is not scripted or staged. We actually come up with that amazing material on the fly.
Kevin Smith just put out a book called Shootin’ the Sh*t with Kevin Smith. It’s a transcript of the best bits from SModcast, the podcast he does with his producer Scott Mosier. SModcast is basically just Smith and Mosier talking about movies and sex and Harry Potter and Helen Keller and whatever else comes up.
I could play Canabalt forever. Or I could if I didn’t suck at it.
So we heard a little grumbling after we unveiled the new name for this site. You know, the name that wasn’t Nerd World. Some of that grumbling may even have been coming out of my mouth.
