I've added two new bits of GDC coverage: the Artificial Intelligence in Computer Games roundtable, and the Improving Quality Assurance roundtable.

I've posted my notes from the GDC roundtable "Getting it into the game". It was a pretty productive session and had lots of great tips crammed into a single hour; I wouldn't be surprised if I missed a few tidbits - so if you were there and noticed something not in my writeup, drop me a PM and I'll …

Well, GDC '08 is officially over, and it made a good run. Obviously I totally dropped the ball on the whole running-journal-updates thing. This is for three reasons:
- I made The GDC Newbie Mistake and stayed at the hotel that's infamous for not having free Internet access. (Curse you, Westin Hotels a…

So, I'm here in San Francisco. Trip was boring and filled primarily with sleeping and eating little packets of soulless attempts at snack mix; this is, of course, the way such trips usually are.
Every significant trip, of course, involves getting good and shafted at least once. My shaft for the week…

I offer the following as proof of my usage.

A few minutes ago I finished watching the season finale of Six Feet Under. (Yes, I'm going to catch hell from my doctors for being up at this hour.) The show is basically a dark comedy centered around a family that runs a funeral home in California. The thing that originally led me to it is the fac…

So I finally picked up the Orange Box and played through Portal, pretty much entirely in a single sitting. I was up until 6 AM and therefore obviously didn't get a whole lot of sleep last night.
As a consequence, my brain has reverted to a more primal, unfiltered state, wherein all manner of absurdi…

This has been the first weekend in, well, probably months that I've felt like spending on hacking around with code. There have been a few niggling little issues in our code base that I've wanted to clean up for ages, but haven't ever really quite had a chance - especially considering that there's a…

Random advice for working on team development projects
This is just some assorted stuff that's been on my brain the last couple of weeks, which probably everyone knows already, but I feel like saying anyways. And, hey, it's content, right?

Yayy, new year, blah blah blah. I've never really cared much about New Years, aside from the minor annoyance of having to retrain my brain to write a different number down.
Lately I've been casting about a lot for something of actual substance to be filling in here. It kind of bothers me that there'…
