Approaching Emergent Gameplay as a Three Act Play

This may be the most convoluted thing I've written on here. Also minor spoilers for Mass Effect 2. When I was fifteen, I had a concept for video game that I held onto for quite some time. My idea was that you would be a government agent ...

 
 
 

Die2Nite: A Free Game You Should Check Out

The cries of the undead horde are a common sight in video games today. We've faced them alone in close quarters in small towns, we've practised genocide against them in malls, and most recently for me, I've worked together with friends to...

 
 
 

7 Trends I'd Give A High Five

Over the last couple years I've been in school and have unfortunately missed out on a few great titles that have come out. However, over the last few months I've had a great deal more time and have found myself catching up with some of th...

 
 
 

Illusions in Games

Fresh Eyes on Another World

About Doctor m3dsone of us since 12:15 AM on 03.20.2007

Currently in liminal time. That's a clever sounding way to say I'm not sure what I'm doing with my life, so I find myself reading lots, working at a funeral home, laughing at my dog (for a variety of reasons), enjoying alliterations, and of course playing video games.

I also am finding that I occasionally like to write things. Trouble is I often find it difficult to actually come up with content I deem worthwhile. So, if anything does come up, I'll be sure to tell you.

Also, here's some of my favorite games I've played over the last little while.

Fallout 1 & 2
Half-Life Series
Metal Gear Solid Series
Bioware games
Bioshock
Halo: Combat Evolved
Zelda Series
Morrowind
Deus Ex
Sam & Max
Far Cry 2
Freedom Force

I know, pretty generic, but what can a person do.
