The Impending Console Hangover
So I'm going to take my gloves off a bit on this blog. Prepare yourselves! :-)
One of the biggest things I'm getting very sick and tired of reading about lately is all the news talking about how the video games industry is down. Really? That's at best only partially accurate. Want the accurate way this should be reading? Here it is:
The Console Video Games Industry is WAY down. The PC Video Games Industry continues to thrive and grow.
Gaming Piracy - Separating Fact from Fiction
I’m sure most of us have all seen and heard the news recently that’s flared up again on Gaming Piracy and DRM issues. I’d like to address what I feel is one of the most misunderstood, and taken out of context issues that’s plagued this industry for years; and it’s time to put a put a nail in the coffin on this issue.

C3:Vision Lab 2010 State of the Art Symposium
It happened, the C3:Vision Lab 2010 State of the Art Symposium or SOA 2010 that I mentioned at the end of my last blog. I did some volunteer work for it welcoming people to the conference and missed a bit of the opening as a result. It turned out that there were so many volunteers that my services were barely needed and thus I had more time to listen to most of the intense day long panel discussions. I wish I had brought a tape recorder, so I apologise ahead of time if I misquote anyone or get anything wrong.
