I just spent a cou­ple of days off but I couldn’t relax just like I thought I would. My girl­friend wanted to paint her flat and that’s what we did. As if that wouldn’t be enough, my com­puter decided to mess with me last Fri­day. Don’t know what’s wrong but my wire­less NIC just doesn’t wanna work any more. Well, I wanted to do a com­plete setup in the next few weeks any­way but I guess I’ll bring it for­ward. In the mean­time, there’s a short arti­cle on sto­ry­telling in video games up at The Escapist. In the con­clud­ing fourth part of the series the author dis­cusses how next-gen hard­ware can be used to make great games in terms of design. If you love intel­li­gent, well thought-out games, you should tackle this story – it makes for a good read.
