Introducing Ludum Linguarum
I’ve been working on a side project for some time now, and it’s gotten far enough along that it’s worth releasing it, and discussing it. It’s called Ludum Linguarum (LL) – a little awkward, yeah, but I figured that a unique name would be better in this case than spending a lot of time trying …
Analysis of Yakuza 5 Hack Videos
I happen to be pretty hyped over the upcoming US release of Yakuza 5 — I’m a big fan of the series’ odd mix of ridiculous melodrama, wide variety of activities and minigames, and really satisfying combat. So naturally, after the localization was announced, I went around looking for videos of the game to watch. …

Fallout: New Vegas has gone gold
Here’s the official announcement on the Bethesda blog, along with pictures of an awesome Fallout: New Vegas themed cake that one of the designers at Obsidian got for his birthday. I pitched in for a couple of months prior to certification to help get it ready for ship. I hope everyone enjoys playing it once …
The Xbox (1) Live Shutdown and Secret Weapons Over Normandy
A few months ago, Microsoft announced that it would be shutting down the Xbox Live service for the original Xbox on April 15, 2010. I haven’t played an Xbox 1 Live game in years, but this news still makes me a little wistful, because for the first time something that I’ve worked on will essentially …
