I make games with pretty colours. I write about games that might not necessarily have pretty colours. I also stroke my beard. It is a good beard.

A brilliant idea now overran with avatar games and cheap cash in stuff. Where did it all go wrong? Not listening to developers and not listening to the audience for sure but there's more...

Comment In: EA CFO Touts Origin's Advantage Over Valve's Steam [News - 11/10/2011 - 09:59]

But more competition is only ...

But more competition is only a good thing if it benefits me, right I don't need nor want a Steam duplicate or equivalent. That doesn't make me Pro-Monopoly when it comes to Steam, it makes me a person who doesn't need two things that do the same thing to a ...

Sorry, are you talking to ...

Sorry, are you talking to me there Because I think you've got me confused with someone else if so. That's not my game at all and as far as I'm aware, I've never called for your accounts to be banned. I honestly have no idea why you seem to think ...

@Alexander, yeah mod stuff is ...

@Alexander, yeah mod stuff is pretty integral. There's certainly enough stuff that goes from mod standalone and I reckon with the recent UDK stuff we'll start to see a whole lot more too. Plus, it's great for picking up level design skills. @Luis, indeed. That'd be a lovely thing to ...

Matt, y'know, Adam's opinion of himself and his own game aside I've never quite managed to get on board with that sort of attitude. If nothing else, I'm probably my own worse critic which is most of the time a good thing and sometimes very much not . Yes, I'm ...
