What is wrong with the video game industry
David Wong at PWOT spent the days after E3 updating his critique of the game industry, Life After the Video Game Crash. Wong is an interesting guy, he has great and incisive ideas, and he also comes up with a lot of novel profanity. This article features the phrase “foppish wide-brimmed a– –hat”, in bold type; you have been warned. Still, Wong is more on-target than almost anyone else analyzing the industry.

MGS4 Trailer Torrent
The new trailer for Metal Gear Solid 4 [100MB, BitTorrent] is worth seeing. Too bad about the $600 price tag.

Quick hits: Last lap
One would think that by the time you’re a 3L you pretty much sail through exams. It’s not as true as it ought to be. My Pollution exam is done, Ethics is tomorrow, and International IP is Tuesday. And then I will be done. Maybe I will get back to posting and pickin’, both of which have been neglected as of late.
The quick hits are as follows:
- I ordered the new Achewood book but received Nice Pete’s inscrutable work instead. This will have to be resolved.
- We have almost finished reading Philip Pullman’s The Golden Compass, first book in the His Dark Materials series. Sonya and O.J. lent it to us. I say it is quite good.
- I submitted my e-waste paper for consideration in an SLS environmental writing competition, but had to submit a version that didn’t reflect any edits made by ELJ.
- Am hooked on “Reno 911!” I hear there’s a movie coming out.
That’s it for quick hits today.
