How Important Is One Person to Shaping Vision and Content

Today saw another big loss of talent at Bioware. Casey Hudson, who has been part of the development of many of my favorite games has been given a fond farewell by the studio's general manager. While Casey's words in the message are upbeat and positive in tone, I can't...

Non Sequiturs and Other Nonesense

Have you ever thought how many every day things have been designed by people with gorilla arms? I mean seriously... you reach into the back of your dryer to pull out that elusive last sock and think to yourself, "geez, I don't have gorilla arms!" don't you? Well, I...
