merp1 asked: 'The Art Of Game Design' by Jesse Schell is also a great book on game design if you're looking for any more to read.

Books ordered, mancrush obtained.
So I’ve finalized my book order (although wasn’t able to order lovely board games due to insane shipping costs that amazon tried to throw at me) and I’m very happy with it.

Dear Mall
Closing at 5pm?… Not cool, not cool at all.
Worked out alright. Went and saw the last like 3/4 of the new spiderman while waiting to watch the new batman but I wanted new clothes damnit!

I need less nerdy hobbies....
After discovering that Raph Koster had written a book about game design, I was fascinated. I can’t say I’ve spent much time following him as a developer but my opinions have been fundamentally shaped by his work on star wars galaxies. Since joining in the emulator testing, I came across a blog post he wrote about game design which completely reversed much of my opinions and streamlined...

I'm Confused
So I decided to do a blitz support round before heading to bed… our team kept making very dumb decisions so I (calmly) offered some advice. We ended up stomping thanks to our top lane doing reasonably well, my grabs and my ADC having a brain (lets face it… as long as you can keep them alive they just need to right click something and you win the game).
After the round, we exchanged...

i’m just waiting for the first party of the semester when all the freshmen on the team are slops by like 10:00. then, we can put the children to bed and the adults can get down to partying.
