I just found out there's a World Of WarCraft dating site, www.datecraft.com, where WoW gamers can meet other players for off-line amusements. The site's pretty new, still in beta, but already has quite a few users. User profiles tell their faction, race, level and in-game professions, as well as the usual location/job/maritial status info. read more | Meg's blog | login or register to post comments

My Personal WoW Rules of Pick up Groups |
|||
| Submitted by variance on August 19, 2007 - 12:12pm. | Exclusive Casual Corner | ||
|
Due to recent experiences (and my waiting for the summer to be over so I can play Bioshock) , I would like to post a few rules in regards to pick up groups (PuGs) in WoW. Violation of any of these rules will result in immediate termination of my role in the group as well as my putting the offending player on my "to mock list" whereupon said player will be hazed at every opportunity. 1. Thou shalt play the class you indicated you would play. read more | variance's blog | login or register to post comments

Videogames Fight Corruption In China? |
|||
| Submitted by Meg on August 3, 2007 - 12:46am. | Exclusive Game News | ||
|
I've already talked about Chinese Heroes, a new videogame to teach ethics and values, but China's got a brand-new, free-to-download videogame called "The Incorruptible Warrior." In it, you play the only honest official in China. You level, gain gold and XP, work on your magic skills and improve your weaponry, and other typical RPG things, while you run around killing, maiming and torturing the corrupt officials. And their girlfriends. And kids. I'm not sure how to class this game... Fantasy? Sim? read more | Meg's blog | login or register to post comments

E3 2007 - One Woman's Hopes and Expectations |
|||
| Submitted by kbadmin on July 10, 2007 - 9:40am. | Exclusive E3 2007 | ||
|
Sitting on the plane traveling from Indianapolis to Los Angeles, I ponder the upcoming conference still named E3, but which will not be like any E3 that has come before it. My hopes and expectations are high, a far cry from where they were but months ago, when I had first received my invitation. At that time, I felt it might be too exclusive, too small, to have any real purpose. Since then, though, I've made more than two dozen appointments with publishing houses to see all they will show in Santa Monica. read more | kbadmin's blog | login or register to post comments

The 'NEW' E3 |
|||
| Submitted by kbadmin on March 19, 2007 - 3:39pm. | Exclusive Editorials | ||
|
So everyone has heard about how E3 as we knew it in the past was gone. At first, I thought this was a great idea. E3 had become nothing more than a social event and an exercise in futility as we struggled to hear the 10 minutes of sound bytes we got when a new game was being demoed for us. For the rare, and lucky, appointment, we had a room set aside where it was only half as loud as the show floor, so we didn't have to scream at the top of our lungs standing only inches away from a person. Instead, we got to talk at a nominally loud voice sitting at a table next to the person talking. It was more an opportunity to get some face time, but with the sheer numbers of people shuffled through the demos, even that seemed unlikely to make any kind of impact. read more | kbadmin's blog | login or register to post comments

GDC Shigeru Miyamoto Keynote: “A Creative Vision” (aka “Miyamoto and Me”) |
|||
| Submitted by BMunchausen on March 13, 2007 - 11:48pm. | Exclusive General News | ||
|
At the risk of provoking the ire of Miyamoto worshipers everywhere, before GDC I had only a vague idea who the guy was. My ignorance may surprise you considering that everyone who plays games (and I play many games. In fact I play so many, sometimes I play two at a time—one with each hand) knows of the Father of Modern Video Gaming. I have no good explanation for my philistinism unless it’s that I’d had no time to read the news because I was busy playing games. So it was that I went to GDC Thursday morning serenely naïve, with no idea that something, call it Fate, call it Destiny, had determined to bring Miyamoto and me together. read more | BMunchausen's blog | login or register to post comments

GDC: Phil Harrison Keynote: "Game 3.0: Developing and Creating for the 3rd Age of Video Games" |
|||
| Submitted by BMunchausen on March 12, 2007 - 10:48pm. | Exclusive Game News | ||
|
As mentioned in my GDC Diary, I became aware of Sony's Phil Harrison (or at least put a face to the name) after watching that satirical "PS3 Song" video on YouTube. He seemed on the video not only to be clueless, but a bit of a stuffed shirt as well, the perfect target for console schismatics everywhere. I went to the keynote to check him out, to see if he really was as flat as an ironing board. The start of the presentation wasn't promising. Phil manfully announced his intention to give the presentation via the user-friendly PS3 and accidentally gave the audience license to titter when said device was less than responsive. Then just like James Brown, the Hardest Working Man in Show Business, Phil issued a guttural "HEY!" and then collapsed on the stage until a group of horn players picked him up and wrapped a sequined cape around his shoulders. Ok--I made that last part up but my point is--Phil soldiered on, not wanting to disappoint the scads of Sony enthusiasts waiting to hear the Good Word. read more | BMunchausen's blog | login or register to post comments

GDC Diary: A Two-Day Jaunt Through the 2007 Game Developer's Conference |

| Submitted by BMunchausen on March 12, 2007 - 2:41pm. | Exclusive General News | ||
|
Day 1 This year's Game Developer's Conference was held in San Francisco which is good for me because I'm a local. No travel costs--whoooo! The day started with a bus ride downtown from my place in the Inner Sunset. Having ridden public transportation all the time when living in Chicago I should've been prepared for this, but since moving to the Bay Area I drive everywhere and had forgotten the distinct olfactory experiences found on a city bus. After a half hour of holding my breath, I burst out the back doors of the bus a couple blocks from the Moscone convention center with only one thing on my mind. NO, not games. Caffeine. There's usually free coffee for attendees at these convention dealies but if there's one thing I won't abide in the morning (or any other time) it's crappy coffee. read more | BMunchausen's blog | login or register to post comments
