I am sitting here, waiting to play my pre-loaded L4D2... remembered I had not blogged in a while so here I am. What interests me lately are achievements. Honestly, I do not really pay attention to them.. moreorless because I don't feel like I'll ever have the time or willpower to achi... [More]

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]

"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]

Tuesday, 2 September 2008 14:57 by dokbok
Encountered an article on Softpedia* entitled "Video Games' Violence Affects Behavior". Perhaps the most stupid thing I've read on the internet in a long time: "The problem of violence, ever more present in all video games, seems to be much more serious than previously... [More]

Women in Games: Who Cares

Friday, 8 August 2008 19:02 by dokbok
I read a good article on gamecareerguide.com called "Op-ed: Women in Games: Who Cares" by Brenda Brathwaite. I think it sums up my personal feelings on the matter. I laughed when I read this line: "I have even scheduled the birth of my children around development schedules, an... [More]
