Posted by Gerald Belman on Thu, 16 May 2013 05:39:00 EDT in Console/PC, Business/Marketing

Posted by Gerald Belman on Tue, 03 Jul 2012 05:39:00 EDT in Art, Serious

Comment In: All Your Nintendo Let's Plays Are Belong To Nintendo? [Blog - 05/17/2013 - 12:26]
@Maciej r n r nI ... @Maciej r n r nI 'm sure no one is reading our conversation or thinks it is very amusing. I 'm sorry you think what I am saying is verbal diarrhea. I just wanted to point out how you completely misinterpreted Darwin 's quote. Don 't misinterpret Darwin if you ...

Comment In: The Design Debates [Blog - 07/31/2012 - 04:31]
I guess I side more ... I guess I side more with the Neils Clark guy. Personally, I find all these design debates pretty stupid and boring for the reasons Michael DeFazio pointed out. I would recommend Gamasutra moves away from these game design foodfights. Design debates are inherently subjective - and thus it 's hard ...

Comment In: So many games, nothing to play. [Blog - 10/01/2011 - 02:40]
LOL, This is good. I ... LOL, This is good. I have the same feeling oftentimes. I got into Mount and Blade just last month and was obsessed with it for a month - didn 't accomplish anything all month - now I have very little desire to play it or anything else - which is ...
