That is awesome to see.

That is what is really the reason, in my opinion. They made enough off of their BJ work that they could afford to take high level risks without losing their house (literally) and they didn't need investors so they would own all of the rights to their products.
There are tons of people who are great programmers or have good ideas that don't bother because they need to work day-to-day to pay their bills and make sure their family has food on the table.
I saw this and the only thing I could think was, maybe we will see some Space Quest again in the style of Space Quest IV or II – funny, and not just playing with technology. Or King's Quest in the style of IV or V, and not the bastardization of VII.
Or hell, a remake of Alien Legacy.... That I would pay be bucks for.
I know that large game development firms simply cannot bother with these projects because the demand and return is too low, but if there is enough devoted fans, maybe, just maybe, my son will be able to play and enjoy the awesomeness of games that have a clear and exciting story that doesn't revolve around shooting people.
I've been writing more on my new website/blog at http://www.1337hax0r.com

geebus saints cripes! I can't stand watching television anymore, just because the blatent lies and horrid things that companies promote is so disturbing and upsetting. (when I watch TV now, I just crank the volume down and work on my computer so I don't have to see commercials.)
Other than the fact that if Indecisive Warmongerer Paul Martin is made head of the Liberals, I won't even consider voting Liberal until he is gone, I am very proud to be Canadian after reading this.
I receive over 200+ spams a day... Most of which are unique. I am willing to forward these spams to any antispam company on a regular basis so that they can get a really large sample of different spam sent out daily and determine how best to program their software to prevent it.
In exchange, I do ask for some free spam filtering software, or something to reduce the sheer amount of spam I receive daily.
This won't be a too technical journal entry, just so you are aware ahead of time.

I was on the bus yesterday, and as always I was trying to avoid unclassily gawking at the young women that I found attractive, and rather force myself to stare out the window at the people on the street. As always, I saw the same ol' stuff... the old car repair shop... the student housing that is for rent for the summer... same ol' everything.
Some video clips I think are worth watching, and speeches worth reading.
I read this earlier today, and thought that I would share it. I found it to be a very thoughtful discussion on the war.

I just thought this was cute. It's Anthony St-George's apology to Americans.

If you want them to hate you, tell them you do math for a living.
