Alright, I'm taking a page from dbaumgart's book and updating every Wednesday (or trying to). I'm also stopping the Monday Resource Sitrep and Tuesday Events Sitrep and just throwing them all in here, as well as a dose of goings on around GDNet. Uhm, just in case anyone doesn't know - sitrep is mil…

Mother Nature hasn't been having much mercy these past five days, where temps have soared into the high 90's and low 100's. To make matters worse, the A/C unit in my house died late last week and of course can't be fixed until Thursday. Of course. Unable to work during the day because of the heat a…

Last month, I wrote a small feature for Josh Dallman's blog Casual Indie. The feature was edited down for size so I've been waiting to post the full, unedited version here to my journal. Enjoy!
IntroductionEven though I manage to keep myself pretty damn busy these days helping to run GameDev.net, th…

So yesterday I was out of the house all day - sort of forgot about that on Monday. In fact, I didn't realize until well after that journal post how crazy busy this week is going to be. Last nite was an IGDA social event with my local chapter where we all got together at a bar and rocked out to Rock…

No resource sitrep this week because... hey - there's no new content! Well, nothing you haven't seen on the front page already anyways. Oh, wait - you don't visit the front page? Well shame on you then!
Anyways, last week I was out in Seattle for the second annual ION conference. Last year it was kn…

So, Monday I'll be rounding up any new resources that have been added to the site in the last week - Tuesday is the day I check around for new industry events and contests that I list in our events calendar. Here's the scoop:
- 0x10h Overnight Game Coding Contest @ May 24, 2008 to May 25, 2008 [Contes…
May 06, 2008
So, every Monday, when necessary, I'll be posting an entry about any new content that was added to the Resources section the previous week, in case you hadn't mosied on over yourself and looked at the Latest Articles listing to the right side of the page. So, here are the new entries:

What's this all about??
Alright, if you have GTA4 and you want to have some fun with the weapons in the game…
- Getting all the best weapons in GTA4
- Using them in a 6-star shootout with cops
- Doing so in a location that will only get you killed if you kill yourself or act stupid

Me on Blogs
I was invited to write a piece for Josh Dallman's new blog over at casualindie.com last week, and upon his suggestion I wrote about blogs and how they can help you and your indie business when used properly and for the right reasons (i.e. - not having a blog just so you can say you have …

So I'll be picking up a PS3 between now and the 29th, when GTA IV is scheduled to be released. While I'm not getting a PS3 solely for GTA IV, the release of the latest iteration of one of my favorite franchises is indeed a major motivating factor. If it were the only factor, then I would also have …

So I was cruising the interwebs, and as I was checking out the daily news brief over at MaximumPC.com I noticed an ad from Gillette for some contest where you could win $30K. Interesting. So I clicked through and listened to Tiger give the run down on the contest. Then I started looking through the…

Okay, so I'm not technically what most people would call "chubby", but I certainly feel chubby. I'm nowhere near as active physically as I was 2-3 years ago, and it's finally slowly starting to manifest itself. Everyone still says I look in shape but I know the truth. I see myself naked in the show…

Digsby overview
I've been using Digsby now for a week, and I must say that I'm extremely pleased with its performance so far. For the past several years I've been using Trillian Pro as my IM client since it aggregated all my IM accounts under one roof. Since then however I've become increasingly mor…

So apparently my forums, which have been hosted by Invision Power Services since 2002, have finally gone offline. I haven't been able to access them for a week now and the reason isn't a time-out, but a "server not found". Uh oh. In all fairness though, the IPB hosting was supposed to be $10/mo but…

So I had the brilliant thought to edit the automatic first post generated for the article feedback thread to include a biography on the author(s). We have a bio field in the article admin, but I've never used it and I have no idea where it actually shows up. If I can get Superpig to make the bio fi…

I apologize that there's no featured article today. I was feeling a little sick - don't know if I actually was or not but being that every other member of my family in the house (4 of em) have been sick over the past 2 weeks I figured best not to take any chances and so stayed in bed most of the da…

Last week I walked through the process I take once every week to publish the newsletter, this week I'm going to go through the even longer process of publishing a Featured Article on the site.
But first, a word from our sponsor...

I'm the gold kite in the middle of the formation
If anyone here does sport kiting, I posted some new photos from this past weekend, where I was down in Wildwood flying with a whole bunch of Revolution people, including two members of the famous team iQuad. While I do fly dual-line as well (heck I go…

Intro
Well, this should be interesting. I decided last week to start a new series here in my journal to see if anyone at all cared about how I do some of the things I do here at GDNet that most of you witness the fruits of every week. I've always enjoyed Behind the Scenes stuff for just about anythi…

Don't forget people that not all articles are featured on the main page! Every now and then I add links to external articles or publish article straight to the Resources section. You can always see if there are new articles by looking at the sidebar to the right below the category tree. Here are a …

I went to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia on Saturday - it's about 1:45mins away from my house. They had a Star Wars exhibit on display through May featuring numerous props, models and costumes from the entire series. Its title, "Where Science Meets Imagination", was put to use as stations w…

Yea. So I slept in on Thursday till like, 3pm so to make up for lost time I stayed up until noon today and then slept for about 4-5 hours. I'll prob be up till around 4am tonight. I have to finish reviewing ~600 articles. Can't say why yet, but hopefully it'll turn out good.
In the meantime, since t…

With my GDC coverage complete, it's that time of year again to look back at this past GDC and reflect on all aspects in order to be ready come next year.

I stayed in bed allll day until I had to coach at like 4pm. It was just a horrible, groggy, light-headed feeling when I tried to get up. So I lay prone and slept it off as best I could, and then forced myself to get out of bed. It wasn't until the mucus started gushing out of my nose while teaching…
March 04, 2008
No GDC coverage today. Well, none that's finished anyways. I got started but then diverted to other tasks. Had some minor backlog that was just annoying the hell out of me - simple stuff I just had to get done and out of the way so it would stop nagging me from the back of my head. I also posted up…

I don't know what it is - if I have more stuff to cover, if I'm doing more things and thus have less time to devote to coverage... whatever it is though I'm feeling like I'm fighting an uphill battle getting all my GDC stuff online. It's getting a bit frustrating and I think I've gotten to the poin…
February 28, 2008
So I'm already a full day behind in posting my coverage, but that's okay because Thursday I missed all my sessions so I have a free day to play catch up. It also didn't help that the two postmortems that I wrote up today were both over 3,000 words each. (Take that, Gamasutra!!) However there's a lo…
