Slog - Comments on PAX Day Two - Megathread http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/pax_day_two_megathread 4:00 p.m.: Turns out I was able to sneak into the "Democratizing Game Development" panel after all (see 3:40 p.m.). Good thing, too; the four developers on hand spoke to the adoring crowd of budding developers by talking as little about games as possible. This was most apparent when the panel had book recommendations for the crowd--very few about coding or gaming. The Origin of Brands, and other books about emotional design and creative inspirations, spoke to a greater purpose--and a willingness to make biz risks--that might help a little developer compete.

Beeson That's so weird -- I just bought Last Night on Earth a few days ago. I like it a lot, even though I've only played it twice, and according to the credits, film critic/nutjob Michael Medved plays the priest character. That's scarier than any zombie.

Into each choice of species and civilizations a little "replacement" of species/civ must fall - just think of that when you worry about kicking the kid off of Spore ...
