I’m doing a Reddit IAmA/AMA on Thursday, 4/26

April 25, 2012

I’m going to try to do an IAmA/AMA post Thursday on Reddit. It’ll be my first, so be gentle. One of the rules is to provide proof that you are who you say you are, so…here’s proof that it’s really me! This is what happens when you leave a man and his webcam to their […]

Media: The Married Gamers

April 16, 2012

What happens when you do a long interview in a big room? You get awesome reverb heard here on episode 250 of The Married Gamers podcast. It sounds majestic, and I guess it should, because we got into some major topics — the ethics of game journalism gifts & trips, Gerstmanngate, all kinds of stuff. […]

Media: GameZone

April 13, 2012

PAX was awesome and a little overwhelming. I came back excited and humbled and flattered and sick as a dog. Photos soon. When I got back, though, I saw GameZone had posted a detailed interview that I’d done a few weeks back. It’s one of the few places I’ve really gotten to go into detail […]

Connecting with a Bitmobber

March 29, 2012

Found this very nice Bitmob blog and it really made me very proud. I wrote this book for a few reasons, but two of them were to encourage people who were serious about trying to review games for a living, and to discourage the people who were not. It’s the old signal-to-noise analogy; if we can […]

Last night I video-chatted with Glenn Rubenstein for a good two hours about our shared experiences in the world of games journalism. It’s full of stories. Also, I enjoyed doing this interview with HQ4Games. I got to talk about Total Carnage and Eternal Champions, so that’s always a good day.

iBook is up — but one thing you NEED to do

March 19, 2012

Huzzah! Critical Path is finally available via iTunes as an iBook! iAmHappyToFinallySeeIt, since I submitted it on February 13. However, one thing freaked me out. We keep seeing the headline for each chapter showing up with full justification in iBooks, when the book’s style file says it should not. Turns out that iBooks is overruling […]

Media: TWiT.tv video interview

March 19, 2012

I got a golden opportunity to chat with my old friend Glenn Rubenstein — he was reviewing games before I was! — on TWiT TV live on Sunday night. We talked a lot longer than I expected to talk (it’s in two parts below), but we covered a lot of ground and told some anecdotes […]

Media: Laser Time

March 19, 2012

When is TalkRadar not TalkRadar? When it’s the reunion of TalkRadar in all but name. Laser Time gave TDar the final episode it deserved and since I was the first guest on TalkRadar so many years ago, I came back to talk about Critical Path on the reunion show. Though I have to admit, the […]

Many thanks to Paranerd who came out to WonderCon 2012 on Friday and shot some video of the panel I was on, “How to Get a Job in Video Games.” I was the last to speak, and there were about 200 people in the audience. My bit kicks in around 4:50:
