I am a person who would like to write; unduly so and to the point of distraction. That being said, I am unusually not qualified to write any sort of blog; having only 7+ months of game industry experience in junior writing and designing for a small independent Flash game developer, which I also spent a school term with as an intern writing dialogue.

As a student of art, I am aware that art must be constructive. By this I mean, art must reflect something about us as humans. What does it mean to be part of the human race?
This sounds like a good idea. I like the idea of fast prototyping and tinkering with game mechanics. Mostly because I just started seriously modding in NWN and I love the tool because you can quickly build and test.
@Zack Durden r n r nI know. I preferred ME1, ME2 was highly disappointing--nothing I did in ME1 affected ME2 and they turned it into a game I barely recognized. But as a 'customer, ' there is little one can do other than air your complaints. If you owned 'a ...

Interesting article since I am also in the midst of writing my own diatribe about Dragon Age 2. I'll agree that from what I've played so far, it is a semi-sequel. I really loved the first game, but with this second one--there is stuff in there that I'm not sure ...
