A Scottish Games Industry Fluff Piece

August 31, 2007

The Consolevania team recently put together a 50-minute long documentary about the scottish games industry. It was shown at the Edinburgh Interactive Festival, and is available for torrent here and direct download from various locations found here.

Watch it, its funny and informative. You may see a certain Colin in it for about 5 seconds, actually.  It was rated 18 when shown at the festival, so expect the usual antics!

I must announce that my game design hat is back upon my head. This is the reason we have no updates here, sorry!

There is currently a car design contest being run over at the Wheels of War website, give it a shot!

The media just love Jack

April 16, 2007

Today we witnessed the deadliest shooting at a US school. I am now going to be horribly blunt.

The first thing that sprung to my mind was “Bloody hell, Jack is going to have a field day with this”. I was not to be dissapointed! For those not familiar with Jack Thompson, he is a lawer in the US set against blaming computer games for anything and everything – regardless.

So, not surprisingly, we see him on Fox news pulling more media stunts to preach his thoughts. It sickens me people like this can be put in such a position of power within the media. Within a few hours after a major incident he can come on millions of TVs and claim anything; even before the shooters are identified.

P.S. Some may get a little peeved I am posting anything about him (the more attention he gets… etc etc), but some of the people I know read here may not have heard of the guy, hence the post.

UPDATE (2007-04-17):

A comment left by Robert included another article on a similar subject, you can find it here. Thanks for the link.
