I was never a big horror fan, so imagine my shock when I realized that I’d become somewhat of a zombie devotee. Or as we in the know call them, “zeds”. Better dead than zed is our motto. Anyhoo, it started when I went offline for a while and delved into table top miniatures. I [...]

I’m a behind the scenes kinda guy. I love the making of specials on DVDs. I read books where writers talk about how they created their works. And I beta test games. The earlier I can get in, the better. I’ve been designing my own games for a few years now, and early testing really [...]

The Iphone gaming scene is pretty crazy. With the constantly adjustments to pricing structure and constant influx of new games, it is like the wild west. It can be hard for a company to break out of the pack and establish their own identity. Ngmoco is one of the rare studios that [...]
STO vs. SWTOR

This question has been plaguing me for a while. I’m a big fan of both Star Trek and Star Wars, and both games look like they have a lot of potential, but you never know ’til you play. But what really vexes me is the how those universes have changed over the years.
Star Trek was [...]

Heartless_Gamer has a post about micro-transactions over on his blog. A good read. DangerLands will be microtransaction/pay-for-premium-content based, but free to play for the basics, so I’m very interested in opinions for or against. I happen to like the model, which I first came across in Puzzle Pirates. What do you think? Subscription or pay-as-you-go? [...]

I’m at the point in DangerLands where I’m starting to create the first dungeon, and it got me thinking about what players like in a dungeon. What do you like? Do you like hunting in dungeons? Do you hate it? What are some of your favorite dungeons?
For me, I’ll always remember Befallen in EverQuest. It [...]

As many of you may know, I’m a creative writer. I’ve written a few short stories and novels in my day. I even sold a short story to a horror anthology, and you can download the novel that I almost sold and read some short stories at my website. But when all is said and [...]

Now that DangerLands has a starting zone and is in testing, I’m turning my thoughts towards the bigger picture; specifically the world. I had a hazy notion of what the world was like, but now is the time when I needed to lay it all out.
You see, I got promoted in the DangerLands family. I’m [...]

Yeah, I love the look. They basically have a flat plane with some billboard bushes and trees, but it feels like so much more. And I still remember some intense arcade sessions running around in Robotron as the bad guys pushed closer and closer. With all the flashing lights, it’s a wonder I never got a seizure.
