The Global Gaming League has recruited some hapless 17-year-old to campaign for the return of booth babes.

Tis the season for procrastination, and to that end I have been reading and obsessing over Riddley Walker. A good piece of fiction when you’ve been thinking about the scientization of human feeling all semester. I went and looked up some sites and one of them that the same year Hoban saw the Canterbury St. Eustace, setting him on the path to writing the book, an artist was showing his own rendering of the event, which seems oddly akin to Riddley’s understanding of Eusa.
than say Michael S. Cox is a filthy, dirty, lying, cheating spammer… but I haven’t had the time to file a lawsuit against the people responsible for the nearly 200 pieces of comment and trackback spam this blog receives daily. I know Hugo is having the same problem.

D’everyone know that Studio Ghibli is doing a movie of one of the Wizard of Earthsea books? Just wanted to make sure nobody’s missing out. Releasing in Japan this summer, which means we don’t get it til later.
You all know I don’t like insidious ad campaigns, particularly when they come from industry promotional agencies telling you their product is healthy for you when it may not be, but the latest twist in the Got Milk? campaign is just too funny to pass up. If educational websites approached things with this kind of sense of humor, we might actually end up with an educated populace.
I went to Sydney, Australia over Spring Break. That is totally my hand and I am feeding a kangaroo in that picture. See the rest. GDC pix to follow, maybe six months from now, because that is apparently how I roll.
Bakon’s got some up over at her Flickr stream. I have not posted mine yet, you see. Have you any idea what my life has been like? Two conferences in a row. Nothing but pizza for lunch this week as I have collected data. I feel like I’m returning to the undergrad womb. I’m dyin’, here.
I was going to write up a full Sindex this year, but time is short and I thought this slide I just developed for a presentation on the master’s thesis (that’s the one on socioeconomic status and game literacies, for those of you playing along at home) — which I am giving Saturday bright’n’early after a full day of conference tomorrow which will most likely be capped by unnecessary drinking and fraternizing — does a fine job of summarizing just how far off the deep end I’ve gone.

Now you can see for yourself — Troll women are the best dancers anywhere. Sadly, their dance has been curtailed here. But still. OK, maybe the Gnome females give them some competition. But seriously. Combine those moves with the cackling laugh and you have one *wicked* little blue-skinned package.
*sigh* no. no, I’m not nostalgic.
