Hey, writers! Didn’t get this book for Christmas? Somehow never got a copy for 25 years? Never too late. Buy it! Regardless of medium or experience, this will help your writing.

National outrage over legal decisions is largely driven by pundits/politicians who have never been in a courtroom for a criminal case, read a full legal decision, or followed a legal matter through various courts.

After 13 years as first a contract writer, then a salaried writer, then a lead writer, then a senior writer at InXile Entertainment, I have been laid off. I had a great time while I was there, and I am sad to go, but as they say, every ending is a new beginning, so here's me, beginning again.

Today's been kind of a rough day. I learned earlier that my current gig will be ending 10/17. Though the timing is never great it's not really surprising. Was hoping to get a few more months out of it, though.

Anyway, if anybody's hiring here's my LinkedIn profile: www.linkedin.com/in/stephen-b...

Of course Alberta prosecutors feel betrayed. They’ve been generously helping police for years by refusing to charge/prosecute them.

Welcome to Spruceway Exhibit 1: The Source Is it… Okay. Recording. Hi.  Jules found this audio recorder in what’s left of The Source. I said she should find something with video.

Care to take an audio tour of a mall during the zombie apocalypse?

i am so sick of the dumbest people alive being in charge of everything and the second dumbest people alive writing opinion columns about how it's good

Yes, that’s me, your multiplayer teammate who gets completely crushed after breaking cover to run for loot at exactly the wrong moment. No, I will never learn.

I need you to understand that if you heard a song you liked in the 80s, you couldn’t Shazam it. You couldn’t Google the lyrics. You had to sing it to the guy at Tower Records.

One of the worst trends I've seen in 'leadership' in my many years of the game industry is this tendency to penalize the person who points out inappropriate / destructive / etc behavior.

A sharp eye for detail, excellent memory, picky about even small points, fearless with their feedback, knows the characters like they live together, and has an unrelenting dedication to the story’s quality, tone, and logic.

I would buy a game that was just a dozen different character-creators.

Keeping track of seven kids at a trampoline park is like herding monkeys at the banana factory.
