It amazes me how much difference a sincere question like this makes to someone. Take a barista for instance. They’ve most likely dragged themselves out of their cosy bed at 5 in the morning, and they have most likely been working hard all morning to wake the population up for a productive day. If you’re [...]
[edited with elaboration] Multiplayer gaming has two very appealing aspects. The first, is the social aspect; getting your name out there, and interacting (in this case, shooting) with other people. Team based gameplay combines the social nature with strict expectations of teammate and opponent skill. Without a competition (the second), the social aspect would whither [...]
Processes are a commonality in every day life, particularly at work. Without processes, out work would be a (albeit artistic and spontaneous) mishmash of things that you do to get stuff done. Someone, started that process, and more than likely, many others chipped in to help make the process as awesome and efficient as they [...]
It’s the end of the year, and the end of study for some.

They’ll be told they can’t do it, and they will push through, because they believe in their ability to do what they set out to finish. It doesn’t matter what it is. It only [...]
I gave a speech at Game Connect: Asia Pacific 2009 in Melbourne this year. The talk is targeted at students and educators who have noticed a gap in communication with what’s taught in the Game creation courses, and what’s expected in game development studios. You can access it right now via google docs here Or, [...]
Some people (I’d imagine, a heck of a lot really) find lack of finances hinders their ability to concentrate and perform to their peak. There’s a ‘safe zone’; a line in the sand in your accounts that switches you from anxious to cool and suave when crossed. Where’s your line in the sand?
I love the idea of giving people gifts which will help them for a long, long time. I see purchasing a Domain for someone as a perfect example of a this gift. You’re giving them a centralized identity online, and what’s more, you’re giving them a unique identity. An Identity that noone can use but [...]
