My wife is painting a sign in the garage, and she has her paints sitting on the trunk of the car in a way that makes me nervous. I look at the surface and sure enough, there is a blob of white near the paint can. I poke it, and it’s still soft. I can wipe it off with my fingers, so it hasn’t dried yet.
“Is this paint?”, I ask accusingly.
“No”, she says, “That’s bird crap.”
She was right.

When the source code for Doom 3 was released, we got a look at some of the style conventions used by the developers. Here I analyze this style and explain what it all means.
Spider-Man
A game I love. It has a solid main story and a couple of really obnoxious, cringy, incoherent side-plots in it. What happened here?

Quakecon 2011 Keynote Annotated
An interesting but technically dense talk about gaming technology. I translate it for the non-coders.
Black Desert Online
This Korean title would be the greatest MMO ever made if not for the horrendous monetization system. And the embarrassing translation. And the terrible progression. And the developer's general apathy towards its western audience.
*laugh* I’ve been reading the DM of the Ring all day, and thought I’d check out some of your old stuff for variety. You are just humerous in general!
bravo, bravo.
Niiiiiiceee.
When I saw this was an old post I felt a little disappointed… I came here under the promise of a glorious wet paint tale, and was side-swiped by a scat story :p
That’s what they call a twist ending.
