Found Liberated Games.
So you might have heard that some companies have released some of their game data to the wild world. Things like source code (Quake) or even whole games (Grand Theft Auto). The site owner, jvm, has collected quite a few games, and links to resources. He’s looking for [...]

Games want to be free
The Village
I went and saw The Village this last weekend. Having read about it before hand, I kind of knew what to expect, and I was sad that I had read a few spoilers for the movie.
M. Night Shyamalan’s movies are best seen the first time with little pre-knowledge going into them. Then they [...]
Coffee Roasting – Victrola Style
I saw a coffee related article on Gizmodo and I knew I had to click it.
The article linked was from Tonx of Victrola Coffee. It’s a local shop up in Seattle, just down the street from where my wife works. They used to use beans from Vivace, a local Seattle coffee [...]
Word Count
I found RandomURL through some obscure link clicking that eludes me now, but I found a link that made me smile. Enter Wordcount. Seems they’ve taken and done “an interactive presentation of the 86,800 most frequently used English words.” Kinda fun. Sad thing is, it looks like it’s been around since [...]
Nintendo DS Marketing Speach
I saw on 1up that Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo’s new marketing guru, was speaking at the Ziff Davis Games Summit. 1up was kind enough to publish the transcription of the speach too. How kind.
I think I like this Reggie. His speach of course is very pro-Nintendo, but still maintains an air of “we [...]
Why Blog – Part 2
I’ve already written about this “blog” personally a few times. I thought to write again, as I’m still finding my voice for it and figuring out what the focus or concentration of the blog should be.
Already I’ve determined to myself that there would be two subjects that I would try and avoid [...]
Stupid Site Registrations
After being frustrated at the fact that if I want to read The New York Times online I must register to actually read any article. They say it’s because they are tracking for ads and targeting ads at different user bases. The thing is, I’m not the only one who doesn’t truthfully answer [...]
Lost Levels – Earthbound
Lost Levels is at it again. For those who don’t know, Lost Levels is a site who’s focus is bringing out the story of games that were cancelled and never released. We’ve collected a number of excellent interviews with actual developers and articles that have a lot of first hand information concerning the [...]
BBS Documentary
BBS – The Documentary. I cannot wait. In much the same way that I had to purchase Mindcandy (the PC Demo DVD), this is a must purchase item. It represents a big chunk of my childhood, and a big chunk of my learning about how computers worked.
Looking through the site, I see [...]
