My good friend Brian Meidell has launched the website for his upcoming game “Deep Blue Sea 2″. He’s a very clever and talented guy, so you probably should check it out.

Streaming games?

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

For some time I’ve pondered the next paradigm in gaming. Specifically if the current developer -> publisher -> customer chain will still be relevant (no). Of course it depends on the severity of the change, but the word paradigm does imply major-ass change and we do seem to be on the cusp of something.

Then this shows up. Crazy technical hurdles notwithstanding, I will consider this a strong contender for next paradigm in video games. Streaming games as video would make game development inherently single platform, which is a bit of a dream scenario from a production standpoint. Brick-and-mortars can be tossed into the nearest volcano. Customers become hardware independent. Poverty is eliminated and we each get our own unicorn.

Braid coming to PC

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

Jonathan Blow has on his blog announced that Braid is coming for the PC at the end of March. Braid is without a doubt my favorite game of 2008 and I recommend that you play it as soon as possible; it’s  still available on XBLA at a very reasonable price. If you don’t play this game, I’m afraid the terrorists have already won.
