Browser Game Pick: Loneliness (Jordan Magnuson)

IndieGames.com - The Weblog — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 09:48:58 +0000

Warning: art game approaching! Loneliness tells the story of one person who is shunned by everyone around them through a series of black blocks on a white background.

As you move towards the groups of 'people' who are talking, playing, fighting, dancing and whatever else you think they're doing, they'll all move away from you quickly. I'm not sure the message is all that solid, but you may well feel something as you move towards the end. There's a message and everything!

ATT Wireless open letter of assurance to area customers

Langston Wertz Jr. — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 01:24:00 +0000

AT&T Wireless sent out a letter to Carolinas-area customers Wednesday night assuring them of coverage upgrades. The letter talks about AT&T's continuing plan to improve service.

If that sounds like a move to make sure you stick around once the iPhone gets gone, well, you thought what I thought.

Popular rumors, from credible news sources, have the iPhone going to Verizon in January. While that will surely hurt Android sales -- and I do believe many Verizon customers got tired of waiting for iPhone and found a decent alternative -- it could also hurt AT&T, which has experienced exponential growth thanks to the little handset from the guys in Cupertino, California.

Here's the text of the letter.

"I am writing to thank you for choosing AT&T for your wireless service, and to update you on exciting plans we have to make your wireless experience even better.

The second incarnation of The Sneaker Pimps covering Duran Duran's The Chauffeur with Simon Le Bon.

The Chauffeur is one of my favorite songs from the early 80's, so hearing a good cover is always a pleasure.

The Sneaker Pimps version over the same footage (so the above warning applies).

EXP Podcast #94: Post PAX Podcast

Scott Juster — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 21:50:00 +0000

While we weren’t able to make it to PAX this year, the magic of the Internet allowed us to vicariously experience one of gaming’s best conventions. This week we’re taking advantage of the still-present PAX afterglow by talking about some of our favorite news from the show. We touch on the importance of expectations and nostalgia, the quiet innovation of some of the smaller games, and the general evolution of the conference itself. Since PAX incorporates everything from huge announcements (like Duke’s return) to low-key indie premieres (like The Witness), it’s almost impossible to catch everything, so feel free to jump into the comments to share what stood out to you.

Some discussion starters:

- What is
