IGN Posts 10 Hardest Games

Posted on March 23, 2007May 22, 2019 by Dodger

http://pc.ign.com/articles/774/774907p2.html My wife, Mary has beaten more of these games than I have. She is the victor. So much better than I am, is Mary. She’s not forcing me to type this, either, nor is this being typed by Mary. Just for the record. Looks like I’ve got some retro gaming to do to reclaim…

This Lady is My Hero

Posted on March 18, 2007May 22, 2019 by Dodger

http://kotaku.com/gaming/tattoo/the-konami-code-tattoo-245073.php A tattoo of the Konami Code? Well done, madam, well done. With one snafu, though… I always like to analyze peoples’ usage of the Konami Code — you can tell a lot about what kind of childhood someone had by asking them to recite the code to you. If someone says to you “UP…

Random Bloggage

Posted on March 9, 2007March 9, 2007 by Dodger

I don’t have much to muse on this week, so this’ll just be bloggage. I’ve got a post in the works about how to figure out what to steal when stealing from other games… but that’s not ready yet. Hopefully I’ll get that out next week. I’ve noticed that a lot of people “borrow” the…

5 Years is a Long Time

Posted on March 1, 2007May 22, 2019 by Dodger

Well it’s all done tomorrow. Friday is my last day at Insomniac Games. It’s been an awesome five years, and I can’t wait to see what the future has in store. I’m going to be moving over to Obsidian — they made KOTOR II and Neverwinter Nights II. I get to work on this, [2019…

Phil Harrison Inteview (Resistance Related)

Posted on February 26, 2007February 26, 2007 by Dodger

http://ncroal.talk.newsweek.com/default.asp?item=506839 A lot of good stuff in there about Resistance… a lot of really long questions, too. I’m not completely sure why, but I’ve always liked Phil. I met him once, he’s a really cool guy. SUPER tall, too. 6’7″ seems so much larger in real life than when you read it on paper.

Elder Scrolls V… woe is me

Posted on February 22, 2007February 22, 2007 by Dodger

http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3157366 As for what form Elder Scrolls V would take, that’s still up in the air. An MMO seems a natural, evolutionary step for the series, but while Hines doesn’t suggest that’s a direction for Elder Scrolls V, the possibility of a new game has been bounced around. He doubts, however, they would go forward…

On Focus Tests

Posted on February 3, 2007February 3, 2007 by Dodger

So I was doing my daily search through gametab.com, as I am wont to do, and I came across this little gem: http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3156887 Dave Jaffe liveblogged during a Focus test for Calling All Cars. It’s funny to me because I’ve been to a lot of focus tests, and it’s interesting to see how people react…

First post!!

Posted on January 24, 2007September 25, 2007 by Dodger

Well, this is the first post of (I hope) many on my new blog. My goal is to force myself to update it, so we’ll see how that goes. As a first post, I figured I’d talk a little about what I’ve been into lately. I just finished Twilight Princess — that game ruled. I’ve…
