Right now I'm contemplating it again. It's just a passing thought at the moment (too busy with another mod I'm working on), but it's a fun thought experiment anyway ( Read more... ) -
Episode 17: Shortie's in Love
I'm watching through the TV shows that I feel most inspired by to try to figure out specific techniques I'll need to focus on in order to emulate the kinds of stories I want to tell in my gaming. This month I'm watching Dark Angel ( Read more... )
