Today I would like to talk about something that has influenced my life personally on many levels and has shown me the strength to follow my dreams. Music for me has always been close to different states of mind either the good or the bad. As I write this article I am listening to Slipknot to give me the inspiration to get the words out that I would like to express. » Read more…
Recently I have been thinking about the future of the games market and where the industry will be going over the next year or so. Will companies ever understand that you can’t control each and every aspect of the market to be a success? It is unclear to me why major companies will go out of their way to capture a market that they initially didn’t set out to get approval from. The changes have been slow, but are now rising to the surface and being very noticeable. As most people are aware by now the Nintendo Wii has the casual market under its thumb with full control.

So this semester I have been learning how to use an offset press and made this small clip of the machine running the job that I was working on today. Also included is a close up picture of the first half of the project.

There seems to be some concern about that the upcoming changes to the Federal Trade Commission’s act regarding endorsements and testimonials. With the included changes to this act it will include bloggers to disclose whatever personal items they did receive from the company based on a review.

Got in last night from my 3 day trip to San Francisco for the community event held by NGMOCO for the game Eliminate. It is an FPS game for the Iphone / Ipod touch that has 4 player deathmatch. I was shown around the city and the last day of the event I had some time to explore the city myself and took lots of photos, so here they are.

Hey everyone, I am on the edge of my seat as I prepare for another Penny Arcade Expo. This being my second year going, I plan to do things I missed out on doing last year, like going to panels, and visiting with people I know, instead of waiting hours and hours in line to play a game. My schedule is pretty full and will doing some coverage with pictures and interviews for 360Junkies.com. If anyone will be going to PAX09 keep an eye out for me in my 360Junkies shirt and it just might pay off for you. Hope everyone has a good time this year as it is already SOLD OUT!
UPDATE: Back from Seattle and I should be able to go through and add some of my tourist pictures on the blog, last year I wasn’t able to explore the city and didn’t have the great camera that I do now so I will let everyone know when I post the pictures.
