Well, that was a trying period. I'm finally back online - at least for the moment. But hey, at least all this time off-line gave me some precious gaming time. Let me give you a brief rundown: Minish Cap -...

Okay, you know those cool navigation systems installed in cars that show you a map of where you are and can give you directions to any destination (the nice ones even have a friendly female voice that tells you when to turn)? I think that it's a technology that is being wasted with it's simple mapquest duties!

Since Peccaui obviously doesn't care about you people enough to furnish you with a VG Remix in the span of months I have decided to step up to the plate with this little gem: http://www.ocremix.org/detailmix.php?mixid=OCR01312 Stormlord is not a game...

So I've mentioned once before that I've begun work on a Gossip Simulator. Well, it's still very early in the development process (I'm still working on setting up the data structures in hopes that good planning now will keep the...

As noted in yesterday's post, the Game On exhibit is coming to Chicago's Museum of Science and Industry. What I didn't post was the informative press release (no, really!). I'm glad to see that the exhibit will take a look...

LAN parties are the source of some of the bestest multiplayer gaming ever (and I'm all about multiplayer). There are few things more rewarding than being able to shoot someone on your computer and hear, from a room down the hall, "Aw, what the fuck?!" Doubly so if you can hear the pounding of mouse-on-mousepad frustration.

Okay... so maybe I enjoy my friend's pain a little too much.

Hey, will you look at that? GAME ON is coming to Chicago (Gamasutra, free registration required)! Yes, it's coming over from London to my little ol' city. You can bet I'm all over that like white on rice. Also, I...

I've been trading on the Hollywood Stock Exchange for close to a year now, and I have a lot to account for.

So one of the (many) things I am working on as I prepare to one day perhaps get close to graduation is my "Senior Project", a project whose purpose is to be so bad ass that it's existence will garner me a job in the game industry the moment I leave school. Well... that's the goal anyway.

The president's daughter has been kidnapped by zombies.

Are you a bad enough dude to save her?

While we here at The New Gamer talk a lot about paper craft (yes, this precedes the recent rash of paper craft news!), we rarely actually do anything about it. Well ... I rarely do anything about it. If I...

I was checking out the latest video game television ads from Japan thanks to IGN's 'Gaming Life in Japan' feature, and was quite stunned while viewing the 'Death by Degrees' commercial. Halfway through the commercial, the voiceover announces: "ALAN SMITHEE"...

I'm currently in the midst of my final two quarters of school, majoring in Visual & Game Programming. What this means is that I am taking my last few focused classes (things like programming shaders, motion capture, writing my own...

Thanks to my internet provider Comcast, we (as in, myself and unitdaisy) were stuck offline all weekend. Yeah, real bang-up job they're doing - we've been stuck with no internet for a quarter of the frickin' month of January. Normally...

Ow. Tonight I was really planning on writing another story from my arcade days down here in my little journal... but the thoughts that start in my brain and eventually end up at my fingertips keep getting hijacked by a...
