But don’t despair, dear reader, as I have found a pasture new.

Lost In The Grind —
... for example, I mean his website is as plain as it can get, but because he updates very often and has quality content he has become somewhat of a legend among MMORPG bloggers. To tell you the truth it is because of his influence that I am still around, not only him but DM Osbon has been an inspiration as well, with his intuitive view on things and how he is always evolving, changing, becoming refined, sort of like a good wine. ...

The Agency Q&A: part 1
Anyway Games —
A while back, David kindly asked if I wanted to join him in interviewing the SOE Seattle team behind The Agency . Of course, I immediately said "hell yes!" and sent him half-a-dozen questions. Then I realized that, not only was David going to use all of my questions, but he also used over a dozen questions of his own! Much to my surprise, SOE was willing to answer most or all of them, so this interview will be in multiple parts. Anyway, here's the first part of the Q&A with Matt Staroscik, Game Designer and Lead Writer for The Agency . (1) The Agency seems to break new ...

You are the ones who gave me my first push and helped me to keep going through a busy and stressful year. Sweetflag - My very first commenter, Sweetflag was a visitor from the UK who has ...
The Agency interview: part 2
Anyway Games —
A few months ago, Osbon and I published the first part of an interview we did with SOE Seattle's Matt Staroscik. Matt is Game Designer and Lead Writer for The Agency -- an interesting combination of FPS action, RPG-like character advancement, and classic MMO features. Here's part two of the interview. Thanks again to Staroscik and SOE; and also to Osbon for inviting me to offer some questions. (1) Game server - will there be just one game world, like EvE Online or many, like WoW? There will definitely be more than one server. EvE’s approach is great for their game, ...
the American hero
Anyway Games —
... limo driver or an eccentric airport groundskeeper. The American hero isn't multicultural. Wayne and McClane aren't worldly. They are proud of their own culture and not too interested in learning others, but they are accepting of people from any origin. What else might be a characteristic of the archetypal American hero? And can you think of any game characters that come close? I think the Master Chief in Halo and Marcus Fenix in Gears of War might. I've asked my English friend, David , to describe who he thinks is the quintessential British/English hero from film and ...
