We armored up and fought again, which was cool since we haven't done that in a while. Two people forgot their armor tho, which sucked. One of them challeneged me to a match and so I neglected to put on my helmet since it was hot out and since he didn't have any armor I wasn't going to swing big. I …

Welp, been playing San Andreas now for almost a week (got it the day it came out of course) and I still haven't even made it out of the first city, Los Santos. I think I have just one more mission left though before I can move on towards San Fierro. Wow, this game is a blast to play, and no surpris…

Well my first weekend of shows is over. It wasn't too bad, though there were some incidents, like when I stalled out the bike in the middle of the bike fight and couldn't restart it and ended up running it backstage. Yea that kinda sucked. My director said he was up in the booth shouting at me "Whe…

So rehearsals were finally over three days after the show opened. It was quite a ride this year - I don't even know where to begin. In retrospect I guess it would have been cool to have posted more frequent updates during May - but I kept thinking no one would be interested in hearing about stuntwo…

So we're on Day 7 of rehearsals, and we're going over a fight between Robin and the Henchmen. At one point Robin uses a platform to push himself into the air with his arms (so he's stationary but both feet come off the ground) and launches a flying sidekick to my chest. Well the first time I tried …

Well my Viewsonic Nextvision N5 arrived today in the mail and it's almost all set up
I had to cut so many new holes into the back of my desk in order to run all these new wires, and I'm pretty much out of plugs too on both my power strips!
Okay so I have one left.
There are two major problems already …

So I spent like two hours today catching up on my journal reading. And I still didn't make it all the way through, I got through like 3/4 of all the journals updated since mine was last updated and then gave up. So many journals up now! I'll see if I can get back into the habit of checking them dai…

Whoo hoo! New video! [grin]
I realized on Thursday that I had enough footage to finally put together a short peice on power kiting. I love the looks I get when I tell people I like to go to the beach to fly my kite. Makes me crack up, because they never realize exactly what I mean, and I usually don…

So I got bored for a few minutes today and decided to play around with Google's new satellite map. It didn't take me long before I decided to look for my house. Lo and behold:
It's the one in the upper left corner. Since it's missing the shed in the backyard by the garden, I date the pic at around 2…

I dunno how funny this will be - you might have had to have been there but I'll give it a shot anyways.
So I'm at the gym like always on Tuesdays, and I dunno how it started but people were hopping up on the balance beams with shinai's (bamboo kendo training swords) and fighting on the beams. There …

I've had a few requests over the pasts few months of people wanting to see what this whole Batman show thing I did last summer (and will be doing again this summer) was about. So I took the time this weekend to put together a little "documentary" based on footage I had from last season. I didn't st…

Last night I finally took the time to sit down and create my profiles for a variety of sites geared towards displaying your info for other people to see. Call it extreme egotism, call it networking, whatever. It was pretty fun, tho it did take me a few hours. And doing one thing for a few hours can…
April 04, 2005
I just realized what my life will be like once May rolls around. Well, April 30th to be exact. That's when Batman rehearsals begin. It's also the month my team will probably restart full production on one of our aging titles with the Torque2D engine. It's also the month I'll be finalizing the produ…

Just wanted to share the ironic fact that so far the only thing that hasn't bothered me so far are my damn teeth. I threw up twice on Tuesday, had a sore stomach Wed, and now I'm just recovering from a massive headache today. Go figure [rolleyes]
March 31, 2005
Well so much for my magnificent SimCity plans. I was playing last night and I realized I had made a couple mistakes in my layouts. First of all, the city that was holding all my power plants would never grow big enough in order for the Nuclear or Fusion Power Plants to become available. Unlike in p…

Been meaning to share this video for a while now. It's me playing of a game of Add A Trick with some friends at the gym. It only shows me, I guess cause the guy who taped it and sent it to me wanted to keep the file size down. I didn't even know he was gonna edit it up like this so it was kinda coo…

Wow, what a rough two weeks! Two days after I got home from GDC I caught the nastiest stomach bug I have ever had in my life. I'll leave out the messy details but suffice to say I was in bed for two days straight, and two before and four after that I was still a little queasy. That was rough. Then …
March 13, 2005
Well, it was fun. I can definetly say that. Was it the best GDC for me yet? In some ways yes, in some ways no. Now that I've just posted my last bit of coverage (the IGF shots), I can sit back and take a look at the past week: the good, the bad, the ugly; what I did right, what I did wrong; what I …

The final graft grab. It kinda stunk. I had to be at the IGF booths during lunch to take photos, and then the Game Developers Rant session ran half an hour over time, so I only got 30 mins in the Expo today. Hence the meager aquisitions. I was hoping to get doubles or triples of everything, but not…
March 11, 2005
I've had a few of my online articles translated into foriegn languages, but I've never really bothered to check them out. So it was kinda neat to see the book I wrote for, Game Design Perspectives translated into Korean. It's funny: everything in my bio is translated into Korean except for "Drew Si…

Good god!! What kind of gorilla/cute girl hybrid is this?? Messed up I tell you...
The gorilla is helped off the stage by his fellow team mates
It seems the gorilla is affiliated with Large Animal Games, as it took the stage with them Wed night to receive the Technical Excellence award at the IGF. No…

Here's my haul for Day 4. There were a ton of CRM mouse pads at the authors party, so I picked up a few, then I ran down a few more cool things from the show floor while I was on it before it was open that morning.
Since I was one of the first 25 people to the IGDA luncheon, I got a free book from C…

Hey look, it's 3am!! Damn, we have to wake up in 4 hours?! What? We've been up since 7am? Still want my our job? [smile]
March 10, 2005
I heard talk that people wanted to try and knock me off the throne, so I went on a swag snatching spree today at the Expo. I shall remain King I tell you!!
Flashlights, beaners and chip clips seem to be the "in" thing this year. Not that I'm complaining - I like all that stuff. Why are the Sony ball…
March 10, 2005
Well, there's one mystery debunked. I managed to track down the white thing on the show floor, turns out to be some kind of gorilla - it was handing out these bananna things. I dunno, saw it from a distance. When approached for questioning it seemed to see me coming with the white Press ribbon and …
March 09, 2005
Hopefully this won't hold true for the rest of the day, but if you notice any slump in our coverage, it's because the internet at the conference completely tanked today. The press room, the general lobby, everything is down. You can't even connect to the wireless router in the press lounge, and pop…
