  1. Though most civilians never have been and never will be soldiers, all soldiers have been and will be civilians.
  2. There is no worse error than thinking that you need someone else's permission or request before you can do, make, or learn.
  3. Good design is process, not a product. Good intellect is process, not an idea. Good life is process, not a circumstance.
  4. Contrary to assumption, doing it a new way can be faster, due to freedom from baggage, and the chance to use your strengths.
  5. A working dog is playing. A playing cat is working.
  6. "The intensity and realism of violence is far less important than what meaning it has for the player." http://is.gd/51lpf
  7. Dear spell check: I don't capitalize "internet" for the same reason that I don't capitalize "outside" or "common area."
  8. Vol 8 on Hobby and Pro Videogame Development http://is.gd/50RS1 Includes Japanese vs. American practices, AI design, & more!
  9. @Rick_Lesley I'm uncomfortable with your assumption that a videogame treating players like 2nd graders makes it better :)
  10. Bravery isn't about violence or power. It's having the courage to start something without certainty for how it will end.
  11. A beginner feels finished at the same stage as an expert feels is less than halfway.
  12. Small rules that are easily or naturally followed help establish buy-in and rule following identity for other rules.
  13. My next videogame development letter going out soon. Parts on A.I., & Silent Hill art director interview http://is.gd/4QsMw
  14. @veganrunningdad Music theory people say all music is the same, literary people say it of novels. Maybe I studied videogames too long :/
  15. @danaseverance No, separating gameplay vs story+plot. It used to be that out of 50 videogames, 45+ played differently.
  16. Videogame studios mostly make clones of the same 8 games, changing only story and art. Since that's mostly what players buy.
  17. @ibogost http://is.gd/501Cc in my interview with WR, "ambitious idea... I may try to publish within a series Bogost is doing with MIT Press"
  18. @ibogost Have you seen Mechner's (1989) Prince of Persia source doc? http://is.gd/5015Z From my chat with Robinett this seems up your alley
  19. Even with the mechanisms of physics and biology named, we have a poor sense of how something as common as your hand works.
  20. RT @FollowTheVegan [Livestock] have a larger greenhouse effect than all cars, trucks and planes in the world http://is.gd/4ZkWO (Forbes.com)
