Yahoo News article, via Slashdot. Hollywood throws a tantrum because the games industry doesn’t play their game. Boo hoo. “It is simply shortsighted to believe that consumers don’t care about the artistic quality of the characters.” It is simply naïf to believe that consumers even notice voice acting except when…

Last year semis, this year second round? And we had such high hopes. Pull yourself together for next month!
London Underground
I have both fond and not-so-fond memories of London Underground. I worked in the city one summer. And there were several days of train strike. Anyway, the London Underground swf (warning: parental advisory) going around is one of the better things I've seen this week. I'm not posting a link,…
Tennis season

E3 Approaches…
…and I have my badge. I see that the registration completion & what I assume is lanyard pickup starts at 8, so I think I’ll be turning up early this year (even though the show doesn’t start until 10 on the first day). Last year I turned up at 10…
