Sailing into the Sunset (Taken with instagram)
I missed this session at GDC, but the speaker was nice enough to put it up online. Very thought-provoking.
Also from my photowalk around South Beach… Epic cruise ship is epic. Look at how tiny that guy is.
I went photowalking around my new home, South Beach. I took a lot of photos of the beach and the art deco hotels on Ocean Drive. I’ve been playing with HDR effects lately and I’m pretty pleased with the results.
I went to Legoland Florida over the weekend. My photos of Legoland are on Flickr.
The Terrific Game of Thrones Board Game is Full of Violence and Betrayal, Void of Sex
Kirk Hamilton at Kotaku reviews one of my favorite board games:
The challenge of writing about this board game is that it is very, very complicated. I’d say “Don’t let that scare you off,” but if the idea of a super-duper complicated board game that requires four to six hours to play and many more to master turns you off, well, then maybe this isn’t the game for you. But if you’re up for it, A Game of Thrones: TBG is not only fun, it’s a damned accurate encapsulation of everything that makes George R.R. Martin’s books so enjoyable.
A game involves three to six players, each of whom represents one of the major houses from the books. In our game, I played as House Stark in the north, my friends played as Greyjoy in the west, Lannister to the south of him, House Tyrell in the southwest, and Baratheon in the southeast. Martell would have been in the far Southeast, but we were missing a sixth player.
If you like board games, or if you are at all a fan of George R. R. Martin’s books, you owe it to yourself to try this game.
I ran the Ragnar Relay a couple weeks ago. 199 miles from Miami to Key West, with a team of 12. My teammate put together this video of us.
I somehow neglected to share these here. I took a handful of HDR sunsets when I was in Denver for the holidays. I think they came out well.
Pointy-headed football-lovers are a beleaguered crew, despised by pointy-heads and football-lovers alike.
