Gaming magazines have pretty much gone the way of the dinosaur.  Even though you can’t take the internet into the crapper with you (well, most of us can’t), it has clearly displaced magazines as the number one source for gaming information.  It makes sense, despite the toilet thing, because it’s more current, and much more interactive.

April, May, and June are my busiest times of the year.  We have 3 kids’ sports going on – my son’s baseball and soccer, and my daughter’s softball.  I coach the baseball team and I’m an assistant on the softball team.  Each of those take 2-3 days per week, and soccer takes anywhere from 2-4.  [...]

I was reflecting again today on the most overlooked persistent gaming environment – the Old West.  It’s a great theme for a game.  There’s gunfighting, gambling, soldiering, adventure (searching for gold mines), and so forth.  It just seems obvious to me that a game based on this theme would sell.  We already have plenty of [...]

As I’ve discussed here, lately I’ve really been searching for that something to ignite my passion.  I’ve dabbled in programming, music, gaming, RPG’s, writing, and some other things, but nothing has captivated me for a long period of time.  The underlying theme to all of these things is that I like to create.  It’s only [...]

…about the Tribe, of course.  They’ve won two in a row, a feat I thought to be impossible only a week ago.  Seriously, the pitching’s starting to come around, and there are less whiffs in the clutch.  Given how the Indians have been playing and the fact that they opened a four game series in [...]

Throughout life, my tastes have changed.  Whether it’s the type of foods I like, the music I listen too, the type of movies I watch, or whatever, I’ve found growth through change.  Lately, in the arena of sports, I’ve been growing fond of motor racing; specifically NASCAR.  Ten years ago, I wouldn’t have watched one [...]

The Tribe’s starting pitching looked shaky to me coming into this season, considering that C.C. took the money and ran (well, everyone knew he would, so the Tribe traded him after he declined a $17M per year offer), and Jake Westbrook is out until after the mid-summer classic.  The odds of Cliff Lee repeating last [...]

The Crew is off to a glorious start this year.  They’ve played four games, with  two losses and two ties.  A win was turned into a tie in the home opener on an own-goal against the jerks from Toronto, but otherwise, the Crew have looked out of form.  Injuries to Hejduk, Moffat, and Rogers haven’t helped, either.  [...]

Via Dubious Quality (you really should read this blog every day), I stumbled across a person who makes a decent living developing, publishing, and selling his own games – and he’s been doing it successfully since 1994!  The company’s name is Spiderweb Software, and the owner has just started a blog.  He’s pretty open about sales, [...]
