Another story - The (Former) General - has been released as part of Penguin/STS’s current ARG, We Tell Stories.
This story, and the website it comes from, is all part of an ARG, from two of the key people (Dan and Adrian Hon) behind Perplex City (PXC). So … expect misinformation, deliberate errors, and stenography. I’m [...]
With some Wordpress-Fu, I’ve added a page that’s a category and auto-includes links with custom meta-information.
Or, in other words, there’s now a page where I can effortlessly post all my various bookmarked links to do with MMO development - and add my own commentary to each link - which you can’t ordinarily do. Which is [...]
