A couple of days ago I accidentally left my Fitbit attached to a shirt that went into the wash. It was only there for a couple of minutes but it was enough to soak the device, which rapidly began to fail. Taking advice from my father in law […]
When Bethesda released their first game in its recently acquired Fallout franchise, I was amazed that not only did my addiction to their previous game (The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion) carry over but it developed into an ever deeper attachment to a universe that I had only recently […]
There’s a great article on Kotaku by Dyad (PS3) developer Shawn McGrath about his experience and admiration for the Doom 3 codebase which was just made publicly available. It’s quite cool to read of game developers having such public admiration for the quality of a peers work at […]
