Doggie update

Sunday, June 10th, 2007

Quickie update - Cuervo’s still staying at the vet, but they have been calling us daily with reports. He’s “scarfing down food” and keeping it down. He’s also said to be in good spirits. The only problem is that they had to stop treating the big bad long-term problem in order to [...]

Future Games
It mentions two projects I’ve worked/am working on:
Before the South Korean monster movie The Host arrived in America, its ARG waded ashore; players successfully wrapped up the two-month-long game Monster Hunter Club at the end of March.
The game, called World Without Oil, launches April 30, when an imaginary oil crisis will shake the alternate [...]

Be Seeing You/St. Feline

Tuesday, April 17th, 2007

I got a totally sweet trailhead swag package in the mail from what looks like GMD Studios’s new game. There’s even a Craigslist posting for me. Unfiction is all atwitter.
What I need is a clone. Or one of those time stoppy things.

Too many words

Tuesday, March 20th, 2007

I’m supposed to write a 100 word review of one of the SXSW events I attended for my Pop Culture class. How the hell can I smoosh down Will Wright’s astounding keynote into 100 little words?
Will Wright Wows SXSWi
Hundreds of SXSW Interactive convention-goers braved a thunderstorm and strong winds to duck into the downtown [...]

Now it can be told…

Monday, March 19th, 2007

Since last year, I’ve been writing the parts of two characters in the alternate reality game that accompanied the United States release of the Korean movie, The Host. You can check out my writing on Enhance Yourself, where I played Amie Adams, or on KoreanFilmFan’s Myspace page, where I wrote the blog entries, audio [...]

What’s your sign?

Friday, March 16th, 2007

We went to see Zodiac at the Alamo Drafthouse last night. It was long, but I thought it was a great flick. The first half deals with the murders themselves, while the second is about the subsequent investigation. Great acting by all involved, and nice period settings.
After I came home, I spent [...]
