Success vs. Failure

Sunday, 31 January 2010 20:56 by dokbok
When confronted with failure, what can you do? I'm not talking about small "failures", where something just didn't turn out how you thought it would and the consequences are negligible. I'm talking about the type of failure that shakes you, scares you, and makes yo... [More]

The glory of achievements

Random Acts of Kindness

Monday, 28 September 2009 23:42 by dokbok
I was doing my laundry this evening. Thinking that no one else does laundry at 9pm on a Monday, I ignored my usual paranoia (about strangers touching my laundry) and just let time slip by. I knew the washer must have finished, but I just didn't think that someone else would need the mach... [More]

Web Games

Wednesday, 26 August 2009 21:57 by dokbok
Flash games are interesting. Most are free; many are developed in people's free time. In my casual browsing, I've found so many creative ideas. For example, I ran into this section on the ArmorGames website: http://www.newgrounds.com/collection/rockout.html It's their R... [More]

I ran into these videos on an awesome/interesting blog I read, called the Grand Narrative.  The blog is unrelated to video games, but these videos are related (and they're awesome):

REVIEW: Plants vs. Zombies... what isn't there to love?

Monday, 1 June 2009 19:20 by dokbok
Based on the recommendation of a designer I met recently, I played PopCap's Plants vs. Zombies, a "flower" defense game available on Steam for $9.95 (also available on other venues). I can't express how clever this game is-- it has the kind of quirky humor you might ha... [More]

Review: Little Big Planet

Saturday, 25 October 2008 10:37 by dokbok
It can all be summed up in one, three-letter word: JOY. My boyfriend got a copy of Little Big Planet early. It was just a normal night; we were going through the games at Blockbuster. And there it was, a retail copy resting on the shelf (FYI, the game officially comes out this Tuesday on PS3)... [More]

"Action-Adventure" as a genre

Tuesday, 14 October 2008 11:29 by dokbok
When pitching Nightmare, I identified its genre as "Action-Adventure". A comment that met with uproar from a couple of critics. It was suggested to us in a lecture that the "Action-Adventure" genre was a sham-- ... a label slapped on an adventure game-- an endangered... [More]
