  1. @RogerTravis I am! Is there a 'friending' function?
  2. @dangolding Haha, totally agree. Isn't this why we all started blogs in the first place?
  3. @dangolding I guess I'd like to see more discussion of game design. Balance, refinement, controls, elegance, player dynamics, etc.
  4. GDA is back online!
  5. @dangolding I'm personally not satisfied just talking about 3D first and third-person action/adventure games. There's so much more out there
  6. @dangolding My concern is that there are things that underly all games that we aren't discussing in as much detail as I'd like
  7. @dangolding I understand film and architecture, but what you're really talking about are specific genres then, not even all video games
  8. @dangolding ... And space! What are Tennis and Basketball and Football and most sports about if not the explorations of space!
  9. @dangolding ...board games were the first games to employ themes in order to communicate 'meaning' to players...
  10. @dangolding These seem like really strange things to say. All games involve a level of human psychology...
  11. @simonFerrari Yeah, that's just silly. But I think there's a difference between theorizing about games and learning to design them
  12. @dangolding In your mind what exactly separates digital games from non-digital games?
  13. Also, if anyone missed it last night, Heather Chaplin is on Another Castle this week! - http://bit.ly/67hfKx
  14. It's like studying music but only through opera!
  15. Hmm, since everyone's on their hobby-horses re Game Studies this morning - Too much emphasis on digital games!
  16. Heather Chaplin talks about her book Smart Bomb, game developers, and the value of games on the latest Another Castle - http://bit.ly/67hfKx
  17. Playing the demo of Torchlight on the recommend of @Iroqu0isP1iskin - let's see if I like it as much as he liked FlyWrench
  18. Hmm, I have the sudden urge to work on my board game
  19. @simonFerrari Randy Balma? Really? Am I the only Flywrench fan out here?
  20. @simonFerrari Haha, really? It seems clearer to me if you're ending a sentence with a quote and starting another sentence right after.
