Back from GDC

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

After being stuck in Texas for a while due to a delayed flight, as well as enduring more than the usual amount of jetlag, I’m finally back and ready to reflect on this year’s Game Developers Conference.
The mood at GDC 2008 was very positive, perhaps even elated. It feels as though video games have entered […]

Gameslol has the last laugh!!

Monday, January 7th, 2008

Update: picked a new template and did some housecleaning! This is so exciting!
Yes, Gameslol was down for… probably a few weeks. Sorry about that. One of my WordPress plugins got some kind of spasm attack, but I killed it and got a new one so no worries. I hope you like horses though, because upgrading […]

I am still alive

Tuesday, September 11th, 2007

Wow, has it really been almost three months? Yeah, I’m still here. Been busy. I haven’t even played BioShock yet. Maybe I should play BioShock.

Gwarek’s Xbox 360 has a blog

Thursday, April 12th, 2007

Yes, yes, I signed up for that thing.
Some of the blurbs are eerily accurate. “Gwarek was absent yesterday… I was smelling something that reminded me of sweat… he better not be playing with a Nintendo Wii…”

Blogger’s block

Tuesday, March 27th, 2007

I had much more to write about GDC but I couldn’t be bothered. I also had an elaborate essay outlined in my mind on how the current console cycle is this profound historical milestone, but then my brains let out a long sigh. I think I’ve officially hit my first motivational low with gameslol.
I […]

BRB

Friday, March 2nd, 2007

I’m heading to San Francisco for GDC! If you are attending, maybe we’ll see each other there.
If you are visiting because I shamelessly plugged the blog to you at the conference, let me humbly point you to some of the “Greatest Hits” from the archive. (Hope you’ll stick around!)

I joined a carnival

Monday, February 19th, 2007

The Carnival of Video Game Bloggers highlights and cross-promotes posts from various blogs around the topic of gaming, and “A MySpace for games” is part of its inaugural edition! It being an internets carnival there is probably no actual parade involved, but I’m not one to look a gift horse in the mouth.
I haven’t had […]

It begins

Sunday, January 21st, 2007

Well, looks I started a games blog. I’m not yet sure what the focus will be, but probably there will be no focus at all. I might post commentary on game industry news, or I might post mini-reviews if I feel like, or I might post navel-gazing diary-like entries about game conferences and meetings. Who […]
