Quest to Nowhere

I know some people have been asking for me to do a blog post about what I’m doing for my capstone project (the last thing I have to do to complete my Masters program,) and now I feel I can finally talk about it. I probably could have before, but I wanted to wait until it was signed off on and was officially happening.

Sorry for the lack of updates lately. I’ve been meaning to write more (namely about BioShick 2, and a few other things,) but with the quarter ending at school, sending out job applications, trying to finish my capstone project proposal, etc etc. I’ve been a bit busy and haven’t gotten around to doing as much blogging here as I had been hoping to.

At least expect more soon before the Game Developers Conference, and then probably about GDC. And hopefully I’ll have some good news/information about my capstone game project to talk about.

Someone asked about this in a comment, so I figured it would be a good post for the blog. As part of my Masters program I’m in I have to complete a capstone, which can either be a thesis or a project. The difference being that a thesis is a paper, which you do a lot of research for, and for a project you make something (specifically they say a “deliverable.”) Continue Reading

A friend of mine Jess over at her blog made a little list of who she considers to be the worst female cartoon characters. It’s very good so wanted to link to it. I also thought about adding to the list, but am currently unable to think of any good ones to add at the moment, so maybe I’ll come up with something in the future.

Since its Halloween here in the US, I feel obliged to tell the tale of a scary videogame I once played. It’s not the longest, or most flattering story about myself, but here I go anyway.

So this was back… uh… well back in the Playstation 1 days. Before PS2 was even a glimmer in our eyes as gamers. It was also a time when you could go to your local video store (and by video I mean VHS, not DVD,) and you could rent videogames from them. Usually for 3 days at a time, I think it was about $3.30. Which seems … Continue Reading

Tried to go with a sarcastic title, not sure how well it actually worked… anyway I’m not sure what there is to say today. I was going write a post about something, but it seemed like it would be in bad taste or something. So I figured I would just post one of my favorite quotes from Jon Stewart, this is from the commencement speech he made at William and Mary in 2004 I think.

“I was in New York on 9-11 when the towers came down. I lived 14 blocks from the twin towers. And when they came down, I … Continue Reading
